Ole Miss went down 31-7 at halftime and could not revive itself.
After winning the coin toss and electing to defer, the Rebels got the ball to open the second half. Two plays later, John Rhys Plumlee scampered 46 yards for his second touchdown of the game. By very unofficial time, the true freshman from Hattiesburg ran a 4.25 second 40-yard dash. That’s ridiculous.
The Tigers added a field goal on the next possession, but Plumlee wasn’t done. Yet again, he broke the second play of the drive for a touchdown— this time from 60 yards out, in approximately 7.
