The Rebs played valiantly but in the end failed on a fourth down conversion attempt late in the fourth quarter and ultimately failed out of the game to the tune of a 31-24 loss to Texas A&M on Saturday. They drop to 5-6 on the year.
To get a sense of just how much of a hurricane this game was, Ole Miss scored on the opening drive, then Texas A&M returned the ensuing kickoff 89 yards to the Rebels’ 11 yard line and scored a touchdown themselves. They traded blows from there — Ole Miss in fact forced two punts — and the score was 14 apiece after the first 15 minutes were in the books.
