Ole Miss took care of business against Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday, mopping up a 50-22 victory over the Ragin’ Cajuns and in the process quietly crawling back to .500 on the season.
Jordan Ta’amu marched the Rebs down the field on the team’s opening drive, going three-for-three for 61 yards and a finalizing 37-yard touchdown pass to DeMarkus Lodge. On ULL’s ensuing drive, Ole Miss’ defense bent slightly, but Taylor Polk saved the day with a timely sack around midfield to force a punt. Yes, you read that right.
After 35 minutes of football, Ole Miss had gained 375 passing yards (521 yards total), six touchdowns, and a field goal.
