Ole Miss wins in overtime thriller 42-41

In a 42-41 overtime win, Kiffin picked up his first win at Ole Miss and the Rebels grabbed their first win of the season against the Kentucky Wildcats.

Kiffin summed up Saturday’s game in his end-of-game press conference.

“At the end of the day, you just have to score more than they do,” Kiffin said.

This game was different from last weekend’s game against Florida. While Florida took advantage of Ole Miss’s weak secondary passing for six touchdowns, Kentucky stuck to their’ bread and butter in the running game.

Although the Rebels collected a win, it showed that the defense not only struggles to stop passes, but also runs.
