Ole Miss finally ended a three-game losing streak in Oxford, tuning up lowly Vanderbilt, 57-35, and they looked good doing it.
Ole Miss started on shaky ground, fizzling out a pair of drives and allowing Vanderbilt’s running game to push them around. But a large touchdown throw-catch-and-run from Shea Patterson to AJ Brown put Ole Miss on the board first. They were immediately answered by a Vandy touchdown and they were off to the races from.
And off to the races they indeed were. Their halftime total of 35 points owed to Brown, DaMarkus Lodge, and a power run from five yards out by Patterson.
