Lane Kiffin Earns First Ole Miss Win After Rebels Edge Kentucky in OT

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Matt Corral hit Elijah Moore with a 3-yard touchdown pass in overtime and Luke Logan’s extra point pushed Mississippi past Kentucky 42–41 on Saturday night.

Chris Rodriguez’s 1-yard run for Kentucky with 2:04 remaining eventually forced OT and Terry Wilson’s 10-yard scoring TD gave the Wildcats the initial lead. But Matt Ruffolo missed the extra point, opening the door for the Rebels (1-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) to rally again for the win.

Five-yard runs by Corral and John Rhys Plumlee were followed by a defensive pass interference penalty on Kentucky’s Kelvin Joseph in the end zone.
