OXFORD, Miss. – Shea Patterson hit A.J. Brown for two touchdowns covering more than 70 yards in the third quarter, helping Ole Miss break open a 13-10 game at the half to earn a 47-27 non-conference football victory over the University of South Alabama Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
Patterson found Brown for a 71-yard score on the second play after the intermission, then the two connected again for a 77-yard touchdown on the Rebels' next possession less than two-and-a-half minutes later to extend the Ole Miss (1-0) advantage to 26-10 less than three minutes into the second half.
