The AP No. 13 Ole Miss Rebels will host the Tulane Green Wave on Saturday in Oxford for another bout between undefeated teams. The stage is set for an exciting reunion between two of the founding members of the Southeastern Conference.
The Rebels have showcased a potent offense this season. They have averaged more than 40 points per game, and quarterback Austin Simmons has been a key contributor with 580 passing yards and four touchdowns. Running back Kewan Lacy has complemented Simmons’ efforts with 290 rushing yards and five touchdowns.
Simmons, who started the first two games of the season for head coach Lane Kiffin and the Rebels, did not start versus Arkansas due to an ankle injury — though Kiffin left the door open for Simmons’ return to the starting lineup Saturday.
