Three key takeaways from a dominant 61-21 win over Tulane
The Ole Miss Rebels came out hot against Tulane, totaling 707 yards on offense and holding Tulane to 21 points all game in their 61-21 victory.
The Green Wave brought the rain
The original starting time of 7 p.m. did not last long in the unpredictable Oxford weather.
Due to lightning in the area, the game did not kick off until 8:45 p.m. CST, an almost two hour delay at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The field looked seemingly drenched with rainwater, but after field crews drained the playing surface it was all ready for the long awaited start to the Rebel’s second home game of the season.
Neither the wait nor the rain seemed to put a damper on the Ole Miss football parade, defeating Tulane 61-21.
