“My first game at what was then Hemingway Stadium was in 1960 when Ole Miss played LSU, and I had never been more excited than I was that day. Of course, the stadium is much larger and more impressive now than when I played. I love the on-campus experience at Ole Miss, starting with The Grove, the team taking the short walk to the stadium and the overall atmosphere of gameday.” - Archie Manning CREDITS Editor: Langston Rogers Associate Editor: Kyle Campbell Special Assistance by: Jay D’Abramo, Joey Jones, Kim Ling, Daniel Snowden Printed by: EBSCO Media, Birmingham, Ala.

REBEL PRIDE Former Ole Miss student-athletes can be found across the country, and even the world, proving successful in many areas of business, education, athletics, medicine, law, and the list goes on. Those who have donned the Red and Blue for the gridiron Rebels include recently retired University of Mississippi Chancellor Dr. Robert C. Khayat; NCIS special agent James Reed; renowned Johns Hopkins professor and physician Alan Partin; former NFL star, national spokesman and football analyst Archie Manning; and many others, some of whom mayy be lesser known,, but no less important p in their communities and workplaces.
“I am very proud to be associated with Ole Miss. I had a wonderful time my four-and-a-half years there. I’m most grateful forr the friends I made and the relationships that were built with my coaches, teachers, the students and the family of Ole Miss. If I could do it over, I would choose (Ole Miss) again 100 times. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life.”
- Eli Manning Pro Bowl Quarterback, N.Y. Giants 2008 Super Bowl MVP
“My days as an Ole Miss Rebel football player were tremendous. As an NCIS Special Agent I have traveled and worked with many law enforcement counterparts nationally and internationally. As a student-athlete at Ole Miss, I met many people on and off the field who positively influenced my life. Those relationships helped me mature and grow professionally and prepared me to handle many challenges I now face on a daily basis.”
- James Reed NCIS Special Agent
“I am very grateful for my experience at Ole Miss. The pros are not promised to anyone, but a great education and life-long friendships will truly last.”
“One of the things I am most proud of is being able to say I played football for the Ole Miss Rebels. It was a wonderful experience, and the memories of my time at Ole Miss are among my most treasured. Thank you Ole Miss.”
- Deuce McAllister
- Jim Weatherly
3-time Pro Bowl Running Back, entrepreneur
Award-winning songwriter, musician

“The friendships I made and the lessons I learned as a member of the Ole Miss football team shaped my life more than any other. Being a member of a team is a privilege that enables a person to establish relationships that last for a lifetime. The lessons learned in competing, winning and losing through football are invaluable. Perhaps the most important lesson is that the play clock continues to run, and the football will be snapped at 30second intervals. Each player has three choices: (1) to play, (2) to be trampled, or (3) to get off the field. That football rule is also a life rule, and if we are going to make a difference, we must choose to participate.”
- Dr. Robert C. Khayat Chancellor, University of Mississippi (1995-2009)
“While playing Ole Miss football for Steve Sloan in the early 80’s, I learned the importance of teamwork, my academic coursework and pursuit of perfection in everything I do. My experience at the University of Mississippi has served me well and helped lift me to the pinnacle of my medical profession.”
- Dr. Alan W. Partin Professor, Director of the Brady Urological Institute at Johns Hopkins University
“My time at Ole Miss from 1997-00 greatly prepared me for the military career I have now. The family experience and wealth of knowledge gained on and off the football field continue to shape the way I approach missions daily. What I learned and experienced with my brothers at Ole Miss has helped me keep myself and my soldiers alive through the toughest of times.”
- Major Sheldon Morris U.S. Army, HHT/6-9 CAV Troop Commander
“I believe it was meant for me to be a 49er, but I believe it all started with being at Ole Miss. I was really fortunate to be a Rebel. Like I say all the time, I wouldn’t want to have played at any other place than Ole Miss.”
- Patrick Willis 2-time Pro Bowl Linebacker, San Francisco 49ers 2007 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year
13
“I sincerely believe the reason for our success last year can be attributed to the family atmosphere surrounding our football program. The players do feel a real sense of family. They are invited into the homes of their coaches, and they become a part of those families. Everybody wants to belong to something, and Ole Miss is truly a home away from home.” - Houston Nutt “I love it here at Ole Miss. It’s just a great environment. It’s like a family reunion where everybody is just happy to see everybody. The coaches make you feel comfortable, and when you are comfortable you play better.” - Kentrell Lockett
REBEL FAMILY “When Patrick left home to attend Ole Miss, we had the comfort of knowing that he would be cared for as part of his new family. That was never more evident than when Patrick lost his brother. His Ole Miss family was there to provide the support he needed at his lowest point. At Ole Miss, family is not just a word. It is real.”
- Chris and Julie Finley Patrick Willis’ parents
“The coaches and people at Ole Miss really took Jevan in. We know that he is in good hands with the coaches and that they are guiding his life in the right direction. Jevan is very close with all the coaches and his teammates at Ole Miss. It is very much a family, all the way from the coaches to the players and even to the other players’ parents. With us being so far away, it gives us a peace of mind knowing that somebody will always be there to help him. We don’t have to worry about him at all.”
- Jaylon and Jane Snead Jevan Snead’s parents
14
“We love Ole Miss, Houston Nutt and the superior education that our son is receiving. And of course we love The Grove. As hard as it is for our son to be eight hours away, we know he is well taken care of. We have three boys. Two of them played at SMU and then Gerald went to Ole Miss. In 20 years of being a football mom, I’ve known a lot of coaches from little league to the NFL. Coach Nutt is the first one that I have received a personal phone call from to let me know how my son Gerald was doing. He told me how much he liked and admired my son, and what a great job I had done raising Gerald. He went on to tell me that he was going to take good care of Gerald and that I need not worry about him. That was a very special phone call and one I will never forget. It made me feel like my kid was in the right place and that the coaches really care about him. There was one time when we had a death in the family, and all the coaches were so supportive. Gerald couldn’t make it to the funeral, so Coach Shibest invited him over to his house for dinner on the day of the funeral. That warmed my heart. We feel so very blessed that the Ole Miss coaches would take the time to be surrogate parents for our son.”
“We are very grateful to the coaches at Ole Miss for taking care of Dustin and helping him get an education. As parents, you always worry about your child, but the coaches at Ole Miss took care of Dustin and helped put our minds at ease.”
- Tyrone and Felicia Mouzon Dustin Mouzon’s parents
- Peter and Jamie Running Gerald Harris’ parents

Regarded as one of the world’s top sporting traditions, tailgating on football Saturdays at Ole Miss is one of those activities that every sports fan should take the opportunity to indulge in at some point in their life. Ten acres of lush green grass, watched over by majestic oak trees in the middle of the Ole Miss campus, are transformed from a tranquil picnic spot into tailgating paradise when thousands of football fans crowd into every corner of the land. Weaving through the myriad of red and blue tents, one is bound to encounter a few of the most extravagant set-ups in all of tailgating - fine china, chandeliers, big-screen satellite TVs. Of course, many tents are a bit simpler, but the unique atmosphere still encourages sundresses and high heels for the ladies and coats and ties for the men. Food and drink are abundant. “Hotty Toddy” can always be heard chanted among the trees. Champions walk through it. There is nowhere else like it. It is ...

ROY LEE “CHUCKY” MULLINS July 8, 1969-May 6, 1991
“I’ve never been a quitter. It’s not in my heart to give up. I don’t think it should be in anybody’s heart. I may give out, but I’ll never give up.” - Chucky Mullins
CHUCKY MULLINS
COURAGE AWARD
Roy Lee “Chucky” Mullins was born on July 8, 1969, in Russellville, Ala. After his mother’s death when he was in the seventh grade, and at his request, Chucky was placed under the guardianship of Carver and Karen Phillips. Chucky graduated from Russellville High School in 1988. He earned All-Conference, All-Area and All-State honors in football as a junior and senior. He was team captain and most valuable player on his high school team. He also earned three letters in football, basketball and baseball. Because of his athletic and leadership abilities, Chucky was awarded a four-year scholarship to Ole Miss, and he arrived on campus in the summer of 1988. He was redshirted in 1988 but later saw action as a “nickel” defensive back for the Rebels and was rapidly emerging as a defensive force in the Southeastern Conference. Tragically, his injury on Oct. 28, 1989, in the Homecoming game against Vanderbilt ended his football career and left him paralyzed. He was treated at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis until February 1990, when he was transferred to Spain Rehabilitation Center in Birmingham. Chucky’s battle with his physical disability and his undefeatable spirit changed the University of Mississippi. For months after the tragic accident, Chucky endured the
grueling challenges allenges of rehabilitation. During the difficult time, Chucky’s y’s gritty determination and positive spirit touched the lives of literally hundreds of people. More than a million dollars was raised for the Chucky Mullins Trust Fund. He was visited in the hospital and later at home by such stars as Walter Payton, Janet Jackson and President George Bush. Chucky’s accident and his unbroken spirit transcended football. The people of Mississippi, the South and the entire United States rallied around this remarkable young man.
“This is the highest honor I’ve ever received. I’ve had a lot of awards going back to high school, but this is at the top.” 2009 Mullins Award Winner Marcus Tillman When Chucky returned to Oxford in August 1990 to begin living in the specially-equipped house built by the Trust Fund donations, he announced a determination to return to Ole Miss and pursue a degree. Against all odds, in January of 1991, he did return to the classroom. However, on May 1, 1991, as he prepared for class, he suddenly stopped breathing. Rushed to the hospital, he

never regained consciousness and died five days later from complications resulting from a blood clot. While Chucky did not have a long life, it was a particularly special one. His teammates and coaches said Chucky was a teacher. He taught others how to live their lives to the fullest and how to maintain their focus on the truly important aspects of a precious life. In the state of Mississippi, Chucky Mullins will be forever young and never forgotten. In the spring of 1990, the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity at Ole Miss initiated the Chucky Mullins Courage Award to be given each spring to the Rebels’ most outstanding defensive player for the following football season. Recipients are presented the award at the Chucky Mullins Courage Award banquet, with the proceeds from the banquet going to a special fund created to help Ole Miss students that are involved in serious accidents. Each year’s award recipient also has the honor of wearing a No. 38 patch on his jersey throughout the season. Prior to the retirement of Chucky’s number in 2006, the award-winning player wore a No. 38 jersey during his senior season. Defensive back Chris Mitchell was the first recipient in 1990. This year’s honoree is defensive end Marcus Tillman from McCall Creek, Miss., while the two other finalists were Marshay Green and Kendrick Lewis.
Chucky Mullins’ #38 became the second Ole Miss number to be retired (the other is Archie Manning’s #18) on Sept. 3, 2006, during pre-game ceremonies for the season opener vs. Memphis. A monument in his memory was revealed on that day to hold up the bronze bust of Mullins’ likeness. Now, when players exit the tunnel on gameday, they must first pass the monument, and many also touch his head as they charge onto the field.
Released in 2004, Undefeated: The Chucky Mullins Story (produced by award-winning filmmaker and Ole Miss graduate Micah Ginn) tells of the legend of Mullins’ life and his impact on Oxford, Ole Miss and the nation.

COACHES & STAFF
HOUSTON
NUTT
HEAD COACH 2ND YEAR OKLAHOMA STATE, 1981 The Ole Miss football program sought a proven winner in a head coach and found that man and more in Houston Nutt, who was introduced as the Rebels’ 36th head coach on Nov. 28, 2007. After guiding Arkansas to three SEC Western Division titles and eight bowl berths in his decade in Fayetteville, Nutt immediately reversed the Rebels’ fortunes and became just the fifth Ole Miss coach to guide the Rebels to a bowl in his first season. With a 9-4 record and a 5-3 mark in the SEC, Nutt led one of the greatest turnarounds in school history, reviving a Rebel squad that was coming off four straight losing seasons and a 3-8 campaign with no conference wins in 2007. It marked the team’s best improvement from one season to the next since legendary Ole Miss Coach John Vaught’s debut in 1947. Including his decade of success at Arkansas, Nutt has guided his teams to nine bowl berths in the past 11 seasons, most of any SEC Western Division coach during this span. Nutt’s squads recorded eight or more wins in seven of those 11 campaigns and nine or more victories in seven of those seasons in the SEC. Projected to place fifth in the SEC Western Division in the preseason, Nutt’s first Rebel unit finished second in

the West, ended the season on a six-game win streak and earned a No. 14 final national ranking. Nutt’s efforts earned him SEC Coach of the Year honors (SEC Coaches and The Touchdown Club of Atlanta) for the third time in his decorated career and AFCA Region Coach of the Year accolades for the fifth time. The 2008 campaign saw Nutt continue his reputation as a giant killer, knocking off three top-20 foes away from Oxford, including the defending national champion in No. 18 LSU and the eventual title holder in No. 4 Florida. The third win was a resounding 47-34 defeat of No. 8 Texas Tech in the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic. The upset over the Gators – their lone blemish of the season – improved Nutt’s record against top-five opponents to 5-8 as a head coach. In all five wins, Nutt’s team entered the game unranked, and four of the wins came on the road. Also the 2006 SEC Coach of the Year, Nutt has recorded 19 victories over ranked opponents, including the 50-48 overtime win at eventual national champion and No. 1-ranked LSU in his final game as Arkansas mentor. He has had 20 victories while his own team was ranked. Nutt, who was also named SEC Coach of the Year in 2001 and National Coach of the Year in 1998, guided
Arkansas to three final national rankings, including a final ranking of No. 15 in 2006. In his 10 seasons in Fayetteville, Nutt was the second-longest tenured coach in the SEC. Arkansas went 75-48 during his time, including 42-38 in SEC play. In the previous eight years prior to Nutt’s arrival, Arkansas was 38-51 with two bowl bids. In UA’s first six years in the Southeastern Conference (1992-97) prior to Nutt’s return to Fayetteville, the Razorbacks totaled only 19 league victories. After that, Nutt led the Hogs to four nine-win seasons, including a 10-4 mark in 2006, and SEC Western Division championships in 1998, 2002 and 2006. The Razorbacks earned trips to the Citrus (1999), Cotton (2000, 2002 & 2007), Las Vegas (2000), Music City (2002), Independence (2003) and Capital One (2006) bowls. Under Nutt, the Razorbacks went 53-17 at home, which was the second-most home victories in the SEC during that span. Nutt and his staff have produced 18 All-America selections, 77 All-SEC selections, a Walter Camp Player of the Year winner (Darren McFadden, 2007), a two-time Doak Walker Award winner (McFadden, 2006 & 2007), a Rimington Trophy winner (Jonathan Luigs, 2007), a two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up (McFadden, 2006 & 2007), two Outland Trophy finalists (Michael Oher, 2008 & Shawn Andrews, 2003) and a Lombardi Award finalist (Andrews, 2003). In UA’s first six seasons in the SEC, the Razorbacks averaged three All-SEC picks and had no AllAmericans. Nutt’s teams have had 83 games televised since 1998, an average of more than seven per season. In the eight years prior to Nutt’s arrival, the Hogs appeared on television 36 times, an average of 4.5 games per year. Nutt’s offensive approach has made the Ole Miss rushing attack rise from one of the SEC’s worst to one of the best. In 2008, the Rebels recorded their most rushing yards since 1990 and ranked second in the conference after ranking 11th just one year prior. Arkansas led the SEC in rushing five of Nutt’s last six years there and ranked among the nation’s top 15 five times. Nutt’s teams recorded four of the top eight season rushing totals, five of the top nine season passing totals, the top four total offensive averages, five of the top eight season scoring totals and the top seven touchdown passing seasons in school history. Defensively, Nutt’s squads have ranked among the NCAA’s top 30 in rushing defense four times, in passing defense twice and in total defense five times. In his first year in Oxford, Ole Miss dramatically jumped to No. 2 in the SEC in rushing yards allowed from No. 11 in 2007. In fact, Nutt’s Rebels finished fourth in the nation in rush defense and tied for first in tackles for loss. Nutt was only the third head coach in Arkansas history to lead the Hogs to bowl games in each of his first six seasons. Nutt joined former UA leaders Lou Holtz and Ken Hatfield in accomplishing that feat. Nutt has also shown the ability to prepare athletes for the professional level as evidenced by the 37 NFL Draft selections from 1998 to 2009. He helped four former Rebels hear their names called this year, including two first-rounders for the first time in school history with Michael Oher (Baltimore) and Peria Jerry (Atlanta). Nutt also tutored a pair of first-round picks in 2008 and six total draftees. Former Hog Darren McFadden was the fourth overall selection (Oakland), while backfield mate Felix Jones was taken at No. 22 (Dallas) to run the Razorbacks’ total to six first-rounders in five years.

HOUSTON NUTT BREAKDOWN PERSONAL INFORMATION
Houston Nutt spent a week in the Middle East this summer visiting nearly 12,000 troops. He participated in meet-and-greets at various bases, as well as coached flag football teams made up of servicemen and women. Nutt also helped host a symposium where audience members had the opportunity to ask questions.
In 2004, six former Razorbacks were chosen in the NFL Draft, including first-round selections Shawn Andrews (Philadelphia) and Ahmad “Batman” Carroll (Green Bay). Quarterback Matt Jones (Jacksonville) made it yet another first-round draft pick under Nutt when he was taken with the 21st overall choice in 2005. Three former Nutt pupils inked NFL contracts in 2006, and in 2007, a total of 13 Razorbacks signed professionally, including four draft picks and nine free agents. Defensive end Jamaal Anderson (Atlanta Falcons) went in the first round. Nutt also enhanced the academic success of his players with dozens of student-athletes graduating before their athletic eligibility expired and the 153 SEC Academic Honor Roll selections, including 12 in 2006. A total of 74 Razorbacks were named to UA’s Academic Honor Roll (3.0 grade point average or better) during the 2005 and 2006 seasons. Off the field, Nutt has also given back to the community in a variety of charitable causes. In April 2009, he and his wife Diana committed a gift of $100,000 to the University of Mississippi to create scholarships for deserving student-athletes and to go towards the Indoor Practice Facility. Nutt also took part in the Second Annual Coaches Tour presented by Under Armour, traveling to military bases throughout the Middle East to visit U.S. Troops. Along with head coaches Mack Brown (Texas), Troy Calhoun (Air Force), Rick Neuheisel (UCLA) and former Ole Miss and Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville, Nutt headed to the gulf on a USAF KC-135 Refueling Tanker and visited more than 12,000 troops and traveled 20,000 flight miles. The coaches participated in meet-and-greets at various bases and coached flag football teams made up of servicemen and women. The head coaches also hosted a symposium where audience members had the opportunity to ask questions. Earlier this year, Nutt received the Award of Merit from representatives from the National Water Safety Congress and Sardis Lake. He was recognized for his part in helping produce several public service announcements about the importance of wearing a life jacket.
*** Success is nothing new to the Little Rock, Ark., native. Nutt has compiled a career record of 120-74 (.619) in 16 seasons as a head coach including stops at Murray State, Boise State, Arkansas and Ole Miss. When Nutt was introduced as Arkansas head coach on Dec. 10, 1997, it would have been difficult for anyone to envision the immediate, positive impact that he had on a program, a university and a state. Taking the reins of a proud program that had faltered in back-to-back 4-7 seasons, Nutt faced the daunting task of restoring the excitement and passion in Razorback football. Nutt made an immeasurable impact on the Arkansas football program, but his commitment to enhance the program was not limited to the playing field. Nutt created a family atmosphere for the student-athletes who chose to come to Fayetteville and now to Oxford. While his on-field accomplishments speak for themselves, it is his investment in the lives of his players that sets him apart. He and his staff personally monitor class attendance and visit players in their apartments and dormitory rooms at night. Nutt consistently makes decisions with the best interests of his program and student-athletes in mind. While wins and losses are easily calculated, it is Nutt’s commitment to the academic success of his student-athletes that will continue to pay dividends for years to come. His philosophy has proven to be a recipe for success in the rough and tumble world of SEC football. Once courted by Frank Broyles as a star quarterback out of Little Rock’s Central High School, Nutt first thrilled Hog fans when, as a high school senior, he signed with Broyles over Paul “Bear” Bryant and Alabama. He was the last player to sign a letter of intent to play for Broyles before the legendary coach retired after the 1976 season. With Ron Calcagni sidelined by an injury, Nutt started four games as a true freshman in 1976. He also lettered for Arkansas’ basketball team that year, a squad that finished 26-2 and won the Southwest Conference championship with a perfect 16-0 league mark under Coach Eddie Sutton.

He decided to transfer to Oklahoma State where he redshirted and then played two years at quarterback for the Cowboys. He also spent two seasons with the OSU basketball program. Nutt earned his degree in physical education in 1981. Following his graduation, Nutt remained at OSU as a graduate assistant for head coach Jimmy Johnson. In 1983, he returned to Arkansas as a graduate assistant under Holtz. His first full-time position came at Arkansas State in the spring of 1984, but Nutt never worked a game in Jonesboro. Instead, Nutt returned to Oklahoma State, this time to be a receivers coach, in August of 1984. He remained in Stillwater for six seasons, working extensively with quarterbacks and receivers. He was named offensive coordinator late in the 1989 season. Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders and All-American Thurman Thomas both played for the Cowboys during Nutt’s tenure. Nutt made the trek back to Fayetteville in 1990 to serve as wide receivers coach under Jack Crowe. During his three seasons on campus, Nutt quickly gained a reputation as an aggressive recruiter while he was establishing excellent relationships with high school coaches in Arkansas. Murray State recognized his abilities and hired him as head coach in 1993. Nutt guided the Racers to steady progress with 4-7 and 5-6 marks in his first two seasons. In 1995, the program took off. The Racers went 11-1 in 1995 and won the Ohio Valley Conference with a perfect 8-0 mark. They scored a school-record 421 points and had the most improved record in NCAA Division I-AA football. Their league championship was the school’s first since 1986. Nutt was named OVC Coach of the Year and The Sports Network/Eddie Robinson National Division I-AA Coach of the Year. In 1996, the Racers posted an 11-2 record, including a perfect 8-0 mark in winning their second consecutive league title. MSU won its first I-AA playoff game in school history while eclipsing the school scoring record set just the season before. Nutt was again named OVC and Regional Coach of the Year. Nutt’s accomplishments didn’t go unnoticed. Boise State, in just its second season of Division I-A football, called on Nutt to take over a fledgling program that was coming off a dismal 2-10 record. In fact, Sports Illustrated rated Boise State 112th out of 112 teams in Division I-A football. With what most observers agreed was a limited tal-

of an unusually large senior class. The Hogs had trouble on the road throughout the campaign, but finished in the manner of legends, defeating No. 3 Tennessee and No. 12 Mississippi State on consecutive weekends to earn a spot opposite long-time rival Texas in the Cotton Bowl. Nutt’s well-prepared team handed the Longhorns a 27-6 defeat in front of a packed house that included more than 40,000 cardinal-clad Hog fans. For the first time in its illustrious history, Texas was held to negative rushing yards. Once again the Hogs finished in the top 20 in the final polls, and Nutt’s status in the eyes of fans was raised to an even higher level. In the 2000 campaign, Nutt faced his toughest challenge yet, taking on a daunting schedule without the services of the top career passer (Clint Stoerner) and receiver (Anthony Lucas) in school history. From literally the first day of workouts, Nutt and the Razorbacks faced more than their fair share of adversity and injuries. Nine players were lost for the season to injury, including the top three tailbacks listed on the preseason depth chart. In addition, dozens of other players missed practice and game time with various ailments. Despite all the misfortune and distractions, Nutt rallied his team to back-to-back wins over No. 13 Mississippi State and No. 24 LSU to secure yet another winning regular season and a bowl game.
ent pool, Nutt managed to guide the Broncos to a 5-6 record in his first campaign. Nutt’s squad held a lead against Wisconsin in the final minute of play at Madison, Wis., before the Badgers escaped with a win. The Broncos did, however, upset archrival Idaho on its own home field to end the 1997 season. After a successful season at Boise State, Nutt found himself in the running for the top job at Arkansas. The first candidate interviewed, he waited a week to learn his fate before hearing the job was his. Once he arrived in Fayetteville, he took the state by storm. As he recruited student-athletes, he also re-recruited fans who had grown apathetic during a listless decade of Hog football. Many who had stayed away were rejuvenated by Nutt’s enthusiasm. Fans were not the only ones attracted to Nutt’s refreshing approach. Picked to finish last in the SEC West, the Razorbacks exploded out of the gates, winning their first eight games. Arkansas had topranked Tennessee on the ropes at Knoxville, Tenn., before an untimely fumble allowed the Volunteers to escape on the way to a national championship. The Razorbacks finished 9-3 and won a share of the SEC Western Division title. The Hogs made their first ever trip to the Florida Citrus Bowl and concluded the season with their first top-20 poll finish (16th) in nine seasons. For his efforts, Nutt was named Football News’ National Coach of the Year. In 1999 the Razorbacks became the Western THE NUTT FAMILY: (left to right) Hanna, Hailey, Diana, Houston, Houston III, Haven Division favorite because

JIMMY JOHNSON Head Football Coach | Dallas Cowboys (1989-93) | 1992 & 1993 Super Bowl Champions Miami Dolphins (1996-99) “Houston Nutt is one of the finest coaches in America. I watch a lot of college football and Houston has a reputation of always fielding one of the hardest working teams while placing a major emphasis on special teams. He’s an outstanding recruiter and an ambassador with such passion and energy for football. More importantly, if I had a son that was going to play college football, I would want him with Houston Nutt, because of his values, integrity and caring.”
COACHES & STAFF
In 2001, the Razorbacks stumbled to a 1-3 start, including three-straight losses in league play. Nutt and the Hogs rebounded to win six of their final seven regular-season games, including wins over conference divisional leaders in consecutive contests. Arkansas topped No. 9 South Carolina, 10-7, before downing No. 17 Auburn, 42-17. The Hogs won their way back to Dallas for a New Year’s Day meeting with defending national champion Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl. The 2002 season started impressively with convincing wins over Boise State and South Florida. After a home loss to Alabama and a road defeat at the hands of Tennessee in six overtimes, the Razorbacks’ hopes for a division title looked bleak, but once again Nutt rallied his team down the stretch. Five straight wins, including road conference wins at South Carolina and Mississippi State, gave the Hogs a chance for a share of the SEC Western Division crown. Trailing nationally ranked LSU with less than a minute to play, quarterback Matt Jones found DeCori Birmingham in the back of the end zone for a 31-yard touchdown pass, a share of the SEC Western Division title and a ticket to the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta, Ga. Arkansas made its second appearance in the league championship game and capped its season in the Music City Bowl. The Razorbacks wasted little time getting noticed in 2003. Arkansas topped No. 5 Texas, 38-28, in a nationally televised showdown at Austin in the second game of the season. Arkansas vaulted into the national polls at No. 14, marking the highest debut of any team since the poll was expanded to 25 teams in 1989. Two weeks later, Arkansas rallied for a 34-31 double-overtime win at Alabama to keep the momentum going. After suffering a trio of heartbreaking conference games, Arkansas salvaged its season with a historic 71-63 seven-overtime win at Kentucky. The Hogs tied their own NCAA record for overtime periods set in 2001 at Ole Miss. The memorable
ELI MANNING Quarterback | New York Giants |2008 Super Bowl MVP “I was very excited about Coach Nutt coming in. I thought he was a great addition to the Ole Miss family. He’s a guy that understands SEC football and what it takes to win. I think our program is on the rise. We have some great kids and great players. It’s just a matter of time. We are headed in the right direction.”
DARREN MCFADDEN Running Back | Oakland Raiders “Coach Nutt is a great guy and one of the greatest motivators I’ve been around. He really cares for his players, and I loved playing for him.”
MICHAEL OHER Offensive Line | Baltimore Ravens “In only one year of playing for him, Coach Nutt helped make me 10 times the person and player I was. He’s the type guy who gives you confidence to succeed, and he helped us believe in ourselves. Coach Nutt helped make our senior year really special and I’m glad I came back to Ole Miss to enjoy it with my teammates.”

win ignited a streak that saw the Razorbacks win four of their last five games including a 27-14 win over Missouri in the Independence Bowl. Arkansas mounted another late-season run in 2004 before coming up just shy of extending its bowl streak to a school record seven-consecutive seasons. With a new quarterback, the Razorbacks missed out on a bowl bid in 2005, but showed great improvement down the stretch. UA led the SEC in rushing for the third time in four years, won two of its last three and suffered its last three losses by a combined nine points. The Hogs were back in business in 2006. After a season-opening loss, Arkansas reeled off 10 straight wins, including wins over No. 2 Auburn, No. 13 Tennessee and No. 22 Alabama, and won the Western Division title. UA had chances to win but came up short against No. 4 Florida in the SEC Championship game, 38-28, and in the Capital One Bowl against No. 6 Wisconsin, 17-14. Darren McFadden led the SEC and set a school record by running for 1,647 yards and 14 touchdowns. He won the Doak Walker Award as the country’s top tailback and finished second in Heisman Trophy balloting. Nutt was named SEC Coach of the Year by the SEC coaches, the Associated Press and the Little Rock and Atlanta touchdown clubs. Also a national coach of the year finalist, away from the field he was recognized as the 2006 Easter Seals Arkansan of the Year. Much like the nine prior, Nutt’s final campaign with the Razorbacks displayed the determination of his teams. After a 3-3 start that saw a three-point loss at Alabama and a two-point setback to No. 22 Auburn, Arkansas rallied with wins in five of its last six games en route to earning a Cotton Bowl berth. His coaching finale with his homestate team epitomized the heart of Nutt’s Razorbacks. A huge underdog in Death Valley, Arkansas marched into Baton Rouge and battled past the nation’s top-ranked team and eventual BCS champion LSU in a 50-48 triple-overtime classic. It was Nutt’s seventh OT game with the Hogs, posting an amazing 6-1 record. *** Nutt is quick to credit his upbringing for laying the foundation for his success. His parents, the late Houston Sr. and Emogene, spent 35 years teaching young people at the Arkansas School for the Deaf in Little Rock. His father, a 2001 inductee into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame, also served as athletics director and head basketball coach. The oldest of four Nutt boys, Houston is not the only family member carrying on his father’s coaching legacy. Dickey spent 13 seasons as the head basketball coach at Arkansas State and is now the head coach at Southeast Missouri State, while Danny was the Razorbacks’ running backs coach from 1998-2006 and is currently Ole Miss’ Assistant Athletics Director for Player Development. Dennis was the head basketball coach at Texas State for six years and is now a scout for the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats. The Nutt coaching foursome was featured in an article in Sports Illustrated in 1999. Houston Nutt has proven true to his family’s rich coaching heritage: a heritage that is centered on commitment, enthusiasm and a passion for people. He has impacted his players’ lives and revitalized tradition-rich programs in both Arkansas and now Ole Miss. Born Oct. 14, 1957, Nutt and his wife Diana, who also graduated from Oklahoma State, have four children: Houston III, twins Hailey and Hanna, and Haven.

In his first season with the Rebels, Austin tutored an offense that improved from 12th in the SEC in scoring (20.1 ppg) in 2007 to second (32.1 ppg) in the conference. The Rebels also ranked in the top four in the league in passing (221.2 ypg), rushing (186.5 ypg) and total offense (407.6 ypg), after not ranking above seventh in any category in 2007. The Rebels’ 370 points on the season is the thirdmost single-season total in school history, while the 398.7 yards per game is the fourth-highest total in Ole Miss history. As the quarterbacks coach, Austin guided first-year quarterback Jevan Snead to third team All-SEC honors from Phil Steele and honorable mention All-SEC honors from the Associated Press. In one of the most prolific seasons in Ole Miss history, Snead ranked second in the SEC in TD passes (26), third in passing (212.5 ypg), third in pass efficiency (145.5) and fourth in total offense (217.1 ypg). Snead’s 26 TD passes is the third-most in Ole Miss history, while his pass efficiency rating is the third-best single-season mark in school history. A record-setting Rebel quarterback from 1981-85, Austin spent 15 seasons in the Canadian Football league and won championships as a player, assistant coach and head coach.
As a rookie head coach for Saskatchewan in 2007, Austin was named CFL Coach of the Year after guiding the Roughriders to the Grey Cup Championship, beating the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 23-19. It made him the first CFL head coach to win a title for the same team from which he won the championship as a quarterback. He also mentored Riders QB Kerry Joseph to the league’s Most Outstanding Player honors. Prior to coming to Saskatchewan, Austin served as the offensive coordinator for the Toronto Argonauts from 200406. In 2004, he helped coach the Argos to a Grey Cup title, and in 2005, his work with quarterback Damon Allen helped the Argo signal-caller claim his first CFL Most Outstanding Player Award. In 2003, he made the transition into the coaching ranks when he served as the quarterbacks’ coach for the Ottawa Renegades. Austin played 10 seasons with the Roughriders, Argonauts, British Columbia Lions and Winnipeg Blue Bombers and retired in 1996 holding numerous CFL records. He remains the league’s ninth all-time passer with 36,030 yards, and his 57.6 yard completion average is third best only behind Doug Flutie and Tom Clements. In addition, Austin remains one of only four players to pass for more than 6,000 yards in a single season, having totaled 6,225 in 1992. In 1989, Austin led Saskatchewan to a Grey Cup crown, passing for 474 yards and receiving the MVP trophy in the victory over Hamilton. He went on to claim his second Grey

DAMERON SAFETIES 2ND YEAR ARKANSAS, 1983
KIM DAMERON BREAKDOWN COACHING CAREER In his 20-plus years in the coaching ranks, Kim Dameron has helped build some of the top-ranked defensive units in college football. Having served on previous staffs, Houston Nutt welcomed a successful, familiar face to his first Ole Miss staff on Dec. 4, 2007. In his first season, Dameron helped lead a Rebel defense that improved from 12th in the SEC to fifth in total defense and from 11th in the league to fifth in scoring defense. In addition, the Rebels ranked second in the SEC and fourth nationally in rush defense, 20th in the nation in scoring defense and 19th in the nation in total defense. As a unit, the Rebels tied for the nation’s lead in tackles for loss with 8.62 pg. In the secondary, Dameron tutored safeties Kendrick Lewis and Jamarca Sanford, both of whom finished in the top 16 in the SEC in tackles. Sanford was selected in the 2009 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings. Before arriving in Oxford, Dameron spent the previous three seasons as defensive coordinator at Louisiana-Monroe. In 2007, he helped ULM become bowl eligible for the first time since it made the jump to Division I-A in 1994 and end the season winning five of its last six games, including a 21-14 victory at Alabama. During his brief tenure in Monroe, the Warhawks had six All-Sun Belt honorees on defense, including recent NFL Draft fifth-round pick Kevin Payne. The ULM defense was one of the stingiest in the Sun Belt in 2006, allowing the fewest points in the Sun Belt. The defensive unit also ranked third
nationally in turnovers gained and ninth in interceptions. Dameron first worked alongside Nutt in 1983 as a graduate assistant under Lou Holtz at his alma mater, Arkansas, after earning his degree. Dameron was a four-year player for Holtz from 1979-82 at defensive back and wide receiver. As a Razorback, he participated in four bowl games, including the 1979 Sugar Bowl, and was named Southwest Conference Defensive Player of the Week for his performance against Texas A&M in 1979. Dameron continued his coaching career at Missouri State, managing the defensive secondary and special teams from 1986-91. The Bears were the 1989 and 1990 Gateway Conference champions. The 1989 squad was an NCAA quarterfinalist, while the 1990 squad advanced to the NCAA first round of the I-AA playoffs. After spending 1992 as the defensive secondary coach at UNLV, Dameron rejoined Nutt as the defensive coordinator at Murray State from 1993-95. The Racers won the 1995 Ohio Valley Conference championship. That year MSU was nationally ranked third in total defense, second in pass efficiency defense, 10th in rushing defense, and sixth in scoring defense. He coached first team All-American defensive back William Hampton. Dameron moved on to Cincinnati in 1996 to take a position as the defensive secondary coach. The 1996 squad ranked 13th nationally in total defense and 14th in pass efficiency defense. In 1997, he was promoted to defensive coordinator. The Bearcats won the 1997 Humanitarian Bowl,

That season the defense was ranked fifth nationally in rushing defense and 33rd in total defense. In 1998, he added special teams and academic liaison duties. Four former Bearcats under Dameron’s tutelage went on to the NFL. He took a break from coaching in the college ranks as a defensive secondary coach for the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL in 1999. Under his tutelage, Toronto ranked first in the CFL in total defense, scoring defense and passing defense, and ranked second in rushing defense. Corner Adrion Smith was a first team All-CFL pick. Dameron returned to college in 2000 at Eastern Illinois, where he served as defensive coordinator for the first-round playoff squad. EIU finished the season ranked No. 15 in I-AA. The Panthers finished the 2000 season ranked 27th in the nation in total defense, while pass efficiency defense finished ninth nationally. Dameron then moved on to be defensive coordinator at Stephen F. Austin, and success immediately followed. In 2002 and 2003, the Lumberjacks were ranked in the top-10 nationally for pass efficiency defense. The 2003 squad was also ranked 29th nationally in scoring defense and led the Southland Conference in scoring defense and pass efficiency defense, and ended up second in rushing defense and total defense. Dameron worked directly with special teams and the secondary, including 2003 Southland Conference Defensive Player of the Year and AFCA All-American free safety Brent Hafford. A native of Rogers, Ark., Dameron and his wife, Debbie, have one daughter, Krystle, who lives in Omaha, Neb.

RON DICKERSON JR. BREAKDOWN COACHING CAREER Houston Nutt welcomed a former pupil to his first Ole Miss staff when he announced the addition of Ron Dickerson, Jr., on Dec. 4, 2007. In his first season with the Rebels, Dickerson mentored a Rebel receiving corps that hauled in a total of 16 TD passes. Shay Hodge led that group with eight TD receptions, which was also tied for first in the SEC. Mike Wallace turned in all seven of his TD catches in the last five games of the season. Three receivers — Hodge, Wallace and Dexter McCluster — were honored as AllSEC performers by various outlets. Wallace led the SEC and ranked third in the nation in yards per catch (20.1), ranked third in the league in allpurpose yards (133.6 ypg) and ranked sixth in receiving yards (784). Hodge was eighth in the league in receiving yards (725) and in receptions (44), while McCluster finished seventh in the conference in all-purpose yards (98.5 ypg). Wallace was a third-round pick by Pittsburgh in the 2009 NFL Draft. Before coming to Ole Miss, Dickerson coached the previous three seasons at Louisiana-Monroe, where he served as defensive backs and assistant head coach in
2007. In his final year in Monroe, the Warhawks became bowl eligible for the first time since they made the jump to Division I-A in 1994 and ended the season winning five of their last six games, including a 21-14 victory at Alabama. Before moving to the defensive side, Dickerson had spent two seasons tutoring the ULM running backs, including 2006 All-Sun Belt first-teamer Calvin Dawson. Dawson became the Warhawks first 1,000-yard rusher since Bryant Jacobs in 2002. Prior to joining the ULM staff, Dickerson worked three seasons at Missouri State, where he coached running backs and special teams, in addition to serving as the team’s NFL liaison. Dickerson guided Bears tailback Cody Pratt to back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons, including the second-best rushing season in MSU history with 1,223 yards and 11 rushing touchdowns in 2003. Dickerson held positions with professional teams prior to his time at MSU. He worked in 2001 as an offensive and special teams intern with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and in 2000 as running backs and special teams coach with the XFL Las Vegas Outlaws.

MARKUSON
RUNNING GAME COORDINATOR/ OFFENSIVE LINE 2ND YEAR HAMLINE, 1979
MIKE MARKUSON BREAKDOWN COACHING CAREER
Houston Nutt has had only one offensive line coach in his 16 seasons as a head coach, and that post remains the same at Ole Miss with the addition of Mike Markuson, who was announced on Jan. 8, 2008. Markuson’s first season with the Rebels saw offensive tackle Michael Oher earn consensus first-team All-America honors. Oher is also the fifth Rebel to win the Jacobs Blocking Trophy, as the SEC’s best blocker. He was taken with the 23rd overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens. In addition to Oher, John Jerry was named second team All-SEC by the league’s coaches. Under Markuson’s watch, the Rebels finished second in the SEC in rushing (186.5 ypg), the seventh-straight season a Markuson-coached unit has finished in the top three of the SEC in rushing. In addition, the Ole Miss line ranked fourth in the conference, allowing only 20 QB sacks on the season. In Markuson’s decade at Arkansas, no other Southeastern Conference team was more effective at running the ball than the Razorbacks. In 2003, Markuson added the duty of running game coordinator, and the Hogs topped the SEC in rushing in four of the five campaigns under his watch. The 2007 season saw the Razorbacks lead the SEC and end the season fourth in the nation in rushing offense with 286.54 yards per game. Additionally, Arkansas ranked second in total offense (450.0) and third in scoring offense (37.31) in the SEC while sitting at No. 17 and No. 13, respectively, nationally in each category. Under Markuson’s tutelage, center Jonathan Luigs captured the Rimington Trophy, awarded to the outstanding center in college football, and was named a first team All-American by The Sporting News and Rivals.com. Luigs also earned a share (Alabama’s Andre Smith) of the Jacobs Trophy, given annually to the league’s top blocker becoming the first Razorback since

Shawn Andrews to win that award. Luigs helped pave the way for 37 100-yard rushing games in 36 career games, including a school-record 17 100-yard performances in 13 games as a senior. Luigs and guard Robert Felton were named to the Coaches All-SEC first team while tackle Nate Garner and guard Mitch Petrus earned second-team honors. Felton also earned second-team All-America honors from Rivals.com. Also under Markuson’s watch, Darren McFadden (1,830) and Felix Jones (1,162) each rushed for over 1,000 yards for the second-straight year, the 12th and 13th such seasons in school history. Seven of those 1,000-yard efforts came in the last six years with Nutt as head coach and Markuson in charge of the line. During the 2007 season, the McFadden-Jones duo earned 100 yards or more in the same game six times. McFadden was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Year and earned consensus first-team All-America honors, several national player of the year accolades and a second-consecutive Doak Walker Award. He also finished as the Heisman Trophy runner-up. Not only did Markuson’s offensive line create lanes for the Razorback running game, it also kept rushers away from the Hog quarterbacks in 2007. The Hogs finished the season fifth nationally allowing only 13 sacks, which equated to just one sack per game for Razorback opponents. The 2006 season was another banner year for Markuson’s unit. Arkansas led the SEC, ranked fourth nationally in rushing offense (228.5), 29th in total offense (378.0) and 31st in scoring offense (28.86). Markuson’s line ranked second in the nation in fewest sacks allowed (.64) and opened the gates for 1,000-yard seasons by McFadden and Jones. Arkansas featured three first-team All-SEC performers from Markuson’s offensive line in Luigs, Tony Ugoh and Zac Tubbs, while Stephen Parker was named second-team all-conference. The 42nd pick in the second round of the 2007 NFL draft, Ugoh was distinguished as a second-team All-American by CollegeFootballNews.com, and Luigs was an Associated Press third-team All-American and a finalist for the Rimington Trophy. Markuson helped the Razorbacks also top the SEC in rushing in 2005, 2003 and 2002, while the 2004 squad finished second despite the loss of all six starters. The 2003 Arkansas rushing attack ranked fifth nationally, and Andrews was an AllAmerican tackle and an Outland and Lombardi Trophy finalist. With 24 years of collegiate coaching experience, including two as an offensive coordinator, Markuson began his coaching relationship with Nutt at Oklahoma State where he was a graduate assistant in 1987 and 1988 while Nutt was the receivers coach. The two were reunited in 1993 when Nutt was named head coach at Murray State and brought Markuson in to serve as his offensive line coach. They’ve been together since, including the 1997 season at Boise State where Markuson served as Nutt’s offensive coordinator. A native of Farmington, Minn., Markuson began his coaching career at Farmington High School – his prep alma mater – as the school’s defensive line coach in 1983. He began his collegiate coaching career in 1984 with a two-year stint as the

RUNNING BACKS 2ND YEAR SOUTHERN MISS, 2002
DERRICK NIX BREAKDOWN COACHING CAREER Former Southern Miss player and assistant coach Derrick Nix joined Houston Nutt’s first Ole Miss staff on Jan. 2, 2008. In his first season with the Rebels, Nix helped tutor a running attack that ranked second in the SEC in rushing with a 186.5 yards per game average. Using a balanced attack, the Rebels featured three rushers that piled up at least 500 yards rushing in Dexter McCluster (655), Cordera Eason (647) and Brandon Bolden (542). McCluster was also named a second team All-SEC selection as an all-purpose player by the Associated Press. With his hiring at Ole Miss, Nix is reunited with his brother, Tyrone, who serves as the Rebels’ defensive coordinator. Before arriving in Oxford, Derrick Nix spent 2007 in the NFL as offensive assistant and quality control coach for Bobby Petrino’s Atlanta Falcons. Nix, one of the best-known players to ever wear a Golden Eagle uniform, began his four-year stint on the USM sidelines as a defensive graduate assistant in 2003. The following year, Nix was promoted to tight ends coach before being appointed to the running backs coaching position, where he spent two years.
In 2006 under Nix’s direction, the Southern Miss running backs ran for 2,378 yards and scored 23 touchdowns, the first time the Golden Eagles ran for over 2,000 yards since 1987. True freshman Damion Fletcher, who earned first-team All-Conference USA honors and Freshman All-American honors, ran for 1,388 yards and scored 11 touchdowns, the second most yards in a season in school history. Fletcher set the freshman rushing record at Southern Miss and for Conference USA, and he was also named a finalist for the Conerly Trophy, signifying the top player in the state of Mississippi. In 2005, Nix got career-best years from youthful players Larry Thomas and Cody Hull. Thomas posted three 100-yard rushing performances, while Hull started the final two games of the year and recorded his first 100-yard rushing outing in the New Orleans Bowl with 161 yards on 37 carries, setting the Bowl record and the Southern Miss all-time bowl record. Hull’s 37 carries tied for the fourth most in school history, matching Nix’s own 37-carry performance against Nevada in 1998. As the Golden Eagles’ tight ends coach in 2004, Nix’s crew, used primarily as blockers in the offensive scheme, was successful.

A three-time all-conference selection, Nix was a record-setting running back throughout his Southern Miss playing days and was named to the USM “Team of the Century.” He recently became one of only five players in the history of the football program to become a member of the Southern Miss Legends Club. Nix was the first Golden Eagle ever to rush for 1,000 yards in each of his freshman and sophomore campaigns and the only Southern Miss and C-USA player ever to rush for 1,000 yards or more in three seasons. His career achievements at Southern Miss also included being the C-USA Freshman of the Year and a first team Freshman All-American in 1998. A sprained ankle, along with a kidney problem, forced Nix to sit out a year and a half, before returning for a successful senior season in 2002, which earned him an invitation to the Senior Bowl. After successful kidney transplant surgery in June 2003, Nix began his coaching career as a graduate assistant for the Golden Eagles.

DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR/ LINEBACKERS 2ND YEAR SOUTHERN MISS, 1995
TYRONE NIX BREAKDOWN COACHING CAREER “Tyrone Nix is one of the up-and-coming, bright defensive coordinators in America,” said Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt when he selected Nix to serve that position on his first Rebel staff on Dec. 11, 2007. And in his first season with the Rebels, Nix orchestrated a dramatic turnaround in the Ole Miss defense. After ranking 12th in the SEC in total defense and 11th in scoring defense in 2007, Nix engineered a group that improved to fifth in the conference in both total and scoring defense. Nix also improved the Rebels’ rush defense from 11th in the league to second and fourth in the nation, allowing only 85.5 ypg. Using an attacking style, the Rebels tied for the nation’s lead in tackles for loss with 111 and finished first in the SEC and fourth in the nation in sacks with 38. In a shutout of Mississippi State, the Rebel defense posted a school-record 11.0 sacks and 15.0 tackles for loss. Under Nix’s leadership, two Rebels earned All-America honors, as Peria Jerry was named a first team All-American
and Greg Hardy was a third-team pick. Jerry and Hardy also earned first and second team All-SEC accolades, respectively. Nix, 36, has been one of the youngest defensive coordinators in Division I college football for the past eight years, directing defenses for his alma mater, Southern Miss, South Carolina and now Ole Miss. In 2007, he coached inside linebackers in addition to managing a Gamecock unit that topped the SEC and ranked fifth nationally in pass defense, allowing just 168.8 yards through the air. The USC defense in 2006 was sixth in the SEC and 29th in the country in scoring defense, surrendering 18.7 points per game, 4.5 fewer than in 2005 despite returning just one starter. Junior college transfer Jasper Brinkley led the team in tackles and earned first team All-SEC accolades at middle linebacker. In his first year in Columbia, Nix served as co-defensive coordinator and tutored the defensive line. Under his watch, a pair of Gamecocks, cornerback Johnathan Joseph and safety Ko Simpson, were selected in the NFL Draft. In addition, Simpson earned All-America accolades. During his 10 years on the Southern Miss staff, Nix coached every position on defense and served as defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach the last four seasons, when the Golden Eagles’ defense was among college football’s toughest. From 2001-03, USM was top 15 in the nation in both scoring defense and pass efficiency defense each season. In 2003, Southern Miss ranked No. 5 in the nation in pass defense, No. 13 in pass efficiency defense, No. 14 in scoring defense and No. 23 in total defense. Nix’s coaching efforts were recognized as he was a finalist for the Broyles Award, given to the nation’s outstanding assistant coach. In 2002, Southern Miss ranked No. 4 nationally in pass efficiency defense, No. 10 in pass defense and No. 15 in scoring defense. Nix entered the 2001 campaign with the distinction of being the youngest coordinator in the country at 29 years of age.

2009 REBELS
UNSATISFIED AFTER 2008 TURNAROUND, RISING REBELS AIM FOR MORE
What a difference a year makes ... When Houston Nutt was preparing to begin his first spring practice as the new Ole Miss head coach in March of 2008, the Rebels were mired in a four-year losing streak and coming off a 2007 season which produced exactly zero wins (0-8) in the Southeastern Conference. The general feeling surrounding the Ole Miss program was that Nutt was taking over a team with talent, but one that simply didn’t know how to win. Shortly after being introduced on Nov. 28, 2007, as the 36th head coach in Ole Miss football history, Nutt met with his new squad and laid the groundwork to convince the returning players that they could win and that a bowl game in 2008 was possible, if only they believed in themselves and the coaching staff. It was no secret that Nutt was bringing to Ole Miss a winning reputation which had produced eight bowl berths, three SEC Western Division titles, an average of more than seven wins per season and the ability to win big road games when playing the role of the underdog. Not one player in the team meeting room that day could raise their hand when Nutt asked if any of them had enjoyed the fruits of participating in a bowl game for Ole Miss. “We got the seniors to really buy in to what we were trying to do,” Nutt recalled. “They won’t do that until

they see that you care about them and you’re working for them. Once they realized we were going to go the extra mile for them and start caring for them, things started getting better.” Fast forward to spring of 2009: The late-season success enjoyed by the Rebels in 2008 was still the talk of college football, not only among the Ole Miss faithful, but also by the national media already pointing to the upcoming season. With a 9-4 record and a 5-3 mark in the SEC, Nutt led one of the greatest turnarounds in school history, marking the team’s best improvement from one season (3-9 in 2007) to the next since legendary Ole Miss Coach John Vaught’s debut in 1947. The 2008 campaign saw Nutt continue his reputation as a giant killer, knocking off three top-20 opponents away from Oxford, including the defending national champion in No. 18 LSU in Death Valley and the eventual national champ in No. 4 Florida in The Swamp. Not only did the Rebels win their final six games and dominate No. 8 Texas Tech, 47-34, in the 2009 AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic, Ole Miss finished second in the SEC Western Division and earned a No. 14 final national ranking. It was the highest finish since Eli Manning’s senior season of 2003 when the Associated Press selected the Rebels No. 13 and USA Today picked them No. 14. Nutt, who was honored as SEC Coach of the Year for the third time, had reversed the Rebels’ fortunes as he became just the fifth coach in the school’s history to guide Ole Miss to a bowl in his first season. When getting back to the reality of beginning his second season at Ole Miss, Nutt acknowledges that things are different in 2009, especially after the Rebels became one of the nation’s hottest teams down the stretch last year. That late season success has brought on a level of respect that now finds Ole Miss in many top 10 preseason rankings, including as high as No. 5 by one national magazine. Managing those lofty expectations from fans and media has become a focal point for Nutt, but he is confident his team understands the situation and won’t get caught up in the hype. “We appreciated our final ranking last year and we are proud of the respect we’re getting,” Nutt said. “However, the only way you can get better is to continue to work with passion every day. Ever since we got back from the Cotton Bowl, we’ve let them know that it took a lot of work to reach this point. All they have to do is ask Peria Jerry, Michael Oher, Jason Cook and Jamarca Sanford how long it took for them to go to just one bowl. As coaches, our antennas are up to make sure they understand that if you think you’re working hard, you’re probably not working hard enough. You have to earn

Junior QB Jevan Snead ‘s 2008 performance ranks behind only Eli Manning on the Rebel single-season passing charts for yards, TDs and efficiency. your wins and the bull’s-eye is a little larger than it was before.” While Nutt’s second spring found his Rebels returning six starters on offense and eight more on defense, having to replace two All-Americans and first round NFL draft picks – offensive tackle Michael Oher and defensive tackle Peria Jerry – drew plenty of attention. Oher, a consensus first team All-American, started 47 consecutive games over his career and Jerry finally stayed healthy as he became the emotional leader on a defense which ranked No. 2 in the SEC and No. 4 in the nation in rush defense (85.5 yards per game) and tied for first in the NCAA in TFLs (8.62 per game). Oher was selected by the Baltimore Ravens as the 23rd overall pick and Jerry was the 24th overall selection as he went to the Atlanta Falcons. It marked the first time in school history for two players to be picked in the NFL first round in the same year. “The goal during the spring was to really concentrate on fundamentals,” Nutt said. “It’s a great time for just coaching football, because there is no urgency to be working on the game plan. With the number of redshirts returning, we were anxious to put them into some situations.” Heading the list of starters returning on offense last spring was junior quarterback Jevan Snead, who completed 184 of 327 passes for 2,762 yards and 26 touchdowns in his first tour through the SEC. Those numbers were good enough to rank second in the league in TD passes (26), third in passing average (212.5 yards per game), third in pass efficiency (145.5) and fourth in total offense (217.1). “When you look at Jevan’s first six games and then his last six, it’s not even close,” Nutt said. “Jevan really matured as a quarterback and became much more knowledgeable. Coach Kent Austin did a tremendous job OLEMISSSPORTS.COM

with him. His reads got better, he was getting us out of bad plays, his accuracy improved and he just got more and more comfortable.” Snead, considered one of the nation’s top returning quarterbacks, used the spring to continue his development as the Rebel coaches added some new wrinkles to the offensive scheme while the offensive line was, to some extent, being rebuilt. “Jevan has demonstrated a real confidence and a real command in the huddle,” Nutt said. “He’s been around the playbook for a year and he’s just gotten better.” When the spring began, other returning starters on
offense included senior running back Cordera Eason, senior wide receiver Shay Hodge, senior tight end Gerald Harris, senior tackle John Jerry and senior center Daverin Geralds. Jerry is being projected as one of the nation’s top offensive linemen returning this season. Another key returnee is senior all-purpose player Dexter McCluster (5-8, 165), who had a total of eight starts last year as he was in the opening offensive series at three different positions. McCluster, the central figure in the “Wild Rebel” offense, was one of only two players (Florida’s Percy Harvin) in 2008 to rank top 10 in the SEC in rushing yards, receiving yards, receptions and

all-purpose yards. McCluster, who led the Rebels in rushing with 655 yards on 109 carries and tied for the team lead in receptions with 44 and ranked third in receiving with 625 yards, was named Offensive MVP in the Cotton Bowl, posting 180 all-purpose yards, rushing 14 times for a career-high 97 yards and catching six passes for 83 yards. With the loss of Mike Wallace to the NFL (3rd round pick to Pittsburgh), McCluster heads into the 2009 season as the starting flanker, with senior Shay Hodge, who tied McCluster for most catches (44) on last year’s team, returning at split end. Junior wide receivers Lionel Breaux and Markeith Summers, senior guard Reid Neely and senior fullback Andy Hartmann also drew starts a year ago. After losing Oher at left tackle, Darryl Harris at left guard and Maurice Miller at right guard, revamping the offensive line and building quality depth was a top priority in the spring. Sophomore Bradley Sowell, who was often used as a blocking tight end a year ago, was projected to fill Oher’s spot at left tackle. However, Sowell started slowly and actually was running with the second unit for a few days before coming on strong at the end of spring workouts to finally win the position heading into preseason drills. Highly recruited signee Bobby Massie is expected to join the mix when he arrives in the fall. Neely, who started five games at left guard last year, emerged from spring No. 1 at that spot and has the ability to play right guard as well as tackle. Sophomore Rishaw Johnson started out the spring on the left side, but was moved to the right side, which is considered his natural position, and earned the starting role at guard.

blocked,” Nutt said. “Hopefully, with the numbers we have, we can stay healthy and, by committee, get things done.” When it comes to special teams, the Rebels return one of the nation’s top place-kickers in junior Joshua Shene, who is the SEC active career leader in field goals with 42. Shene led the SEC in field goal percentage (81.0) a year ago, connecting on 17 of 21 attempts and PATs (1.000), hitting all 52 attempts. Senior long-snapper Preston Powers returns, but the Rebels must replace punter Rob Park. Senior Justin Sparks, who averaged 39.7 yards on 51 punts as a sophomore in 2007 before giving way to Park last season, emerged from spring as No. 1 again. Green, who led the team in punt returns last year, averaging 10.9 yards on 35 returns, is expected to once again have those duties, with McCluster also available. The departure of Wallace, who averaged 24.6 yards on 35 kickoff returns a year ago, means the Rebels will have a new look in that area. Possible kickoff returnees include Bolden, Green, Summers and McCluster, while some newcomers could figure into special teams plans. Spring drills was also a period when various players were called on to work at different positions as Nutt moved redshirt freshman Brandon Sanders from safety to linebacker, and sophomore defensive back Derrick Herman worked as a strong safety and nickel back. The Rebels will open the season Sunday, Sept. 6 in Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis against the University of Memphis Tigers. The game will be telecast nationally on ESPN.

#20 WAKE FOREST 30, OLE MISS 28
Game #1 • August 30, 2008 Attendance: 56,127 • Vaught-Hemingway Stadium • Oxford, Miss.
Game #2 • September 6, 2008 Attendance: 31,986 • BB&T Field • Winston-Salem, N.C.
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Jevan Snead hit Shay Hodge with touchdown passes of 64 and 15 yards and Ole Miss beat Memphis 41-24 in Houston Nutt 's debut as Rebels coach. With all eyes on Snead, making his first start, and Nutt, it was Dexter McCluster who provided the spark with 125 total yards and a touchdown run out of Ole Miss' new Wild Rebel formation. Despite Snead's long touchdown to Hodge in the first quarter, the Rebels struggled early. McCluster, working out of the shotgun in the same "Wildcat'' role played by Darren McFadden under Nutt the last two seasons at Arkansas, got Ole Miss rolling with a 32-yard run around the right end for a touchdown and a 14-7 lead late in the first quarter. It was the first time Ole Miss scored 40 or more points against a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent since a 43-40 win over South Carolina on Nov. 1, 2003. The Wild Rebel had a lot to do with the point total. Ole Miss rolled up 148 yards on 10 plays out of the formation and capped off the scoring with a 10-yard run from freshman tailback Brandon Bolden. He debuted with 61 of his 76 yards rushing coming in the new formation and hit Snead with a 37-yard pass out of the shotgun. McCluster finished with 64 yards rushing - 50 out of the Wild Rebel - and four catches for 61 yards receiving. With 56,127 fans in the stands and players making few mistakes, about the only setback for Nutt was the overeager fan who surprised him with a chestbump as the team made its way through The Grove a few hours before kickoff. Snead's debut was solid, though not particularly sharp as he completed 10 of 22 passes for 185 yards. He made few mistakes, but overthrew several receivers in his first action since 2006 when he played in a handful of games for Texas before sitting out last season under NCAA transfer rules. And Nutt appears to have made a difference for the Southeastern Conference's last-place defense. The Rebels intercepted two passes, setting up two field goals by Joshua Shene, and held Memphis in check except for a late 43-yard touchdown pass from Will Hudgens to Maurice Jones and a 1-yard scoring dive by Hudgens once the game was out of hand. Hudgens and starter Arkelon Hall struggled. Hall finished with 159 yards passing before leaving due to injury and Hudgens passed for 102 yards. Each threw an interception.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - Sam Swank kicked a 41-yard field goal with 3 seconds left to cap a dramatic final minute and give No. 20 Wake Forest a 30-28 win over Ole Miss on Saturday. After Jevan Snead's 5-yard touchdown pass to Cordera Eason on fourth down with 1:01 left gave Ole Miss the lead, Riley Skinner led the Demon Deacons on a 56-yard drive, keyed by a pass interference penalty against Marshay Green. Swank, the nation's active career leader with 65 field goals, calmly drilled the game-winning field goal for the sixth lead change of the game. Skinner completed 32-of-43 passes for a career-high 348 yards and two touchdowns and no interceptions, and D.J. Boldin caught 11 passes for 123 yards, including a 22-yard catch on the final drive.. The Rebels (1-1) were a minute away from giving first-year coach Houston Nutt a signature win in only his second season, when Snead led a 7-minute, 80-yard drive. Facing fourth-and-3 from the Wake Forest 5, Snead was quickly flushed out of the pocket, scrambled right, then left and back right again before finding Eason in the front of the end zone. Justin Sparks' extra-point broke the tie, but the experienced Demon Deacons weren't finished. Snead showed poise all afternoon, completing 20-of-33 for 360 yards and three touchdowns, often creating after the pocket collapsed. Snead scrambled away from a sack and found Dexter McCluster open in the flat, who raced past three defenders for a 31-yard touchdown to give Ole Miss a 21-20 lead early in the fourth quarter. It made up for Snead throwing interceptions on consecutive plays early in the third quarter. The second, a diving grab by Brandon Ghee, led to Swank's 27-yard field goal to get Wake Forest within 14-13. Early, Nutt's "Wild Rebel'' formation of direct snaps to running backs and receivers caused Wake Forest problems. Nutt promised to add wrinkles to the formation, and a gimmick play set up the tying touchdown late in the first quarter. A direct snap to McCluster turned into a reverse-flea flicker, with Snead finding Brandon Bolden for a 33-yard gain. That set up Snead's 4-yard TD pass to Gerald Harris.

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Marshay Green scored on a 77-yard punt return and Ole Miss used 31 unanswered points to easily defeat Samford 34-10. Samford (2-1), which plays in the Southern Conference, made it interesting until the final four minutes of the second quarter. The Bulldogs held a 7-6 advantage, scoring on a 13-yard run by Riley Hawkins after Jeremy Richardson set up the touchdown with a 36-yard interception return. Ole Miss (2-1) answered with 31 consecutive points in the next 20 minutes to make it a blowout. The Rebels assumed control with consecutive touchdown drives of 53, 91 and 63 yards late in the second quarter and early in the third quarter. The Rebels led 20-7 at halftime as Brandon Bolden and Cordera Eason had touchdown runs of 6 and 12 yards, respectively. Jevan Snead, who finished 13 of 24 for 222 yards, was especially sharp in the decisive scoring drives, going 4 of 5 for 102 yards. The Rebels dominated the second half, scoring on the opening series on a 5-yard run by Enrique Davis. Ole Miss added a Green’s punt return touchdown, turned in a goal line stand and finished with 422 yards of total offense. Samford’s John Paul Fraites kicked a 35-yard field goal with 5:03 left to cap the scoring. The Bulldogs finished with 198 yards of total offense, did not have a turnover and had a pair of interceptions, but could not match Ole Miss in the final 35 minutes.
OXFORD, Miss (AP) - Mike Wallace returned a kickoff 98 yards and Peria Jerry scored on a 13-yard fumble return, but the Rebel offense could not capitalize in the red zone in a 23-17 loss to Vanderbilt in the Rebels’ SEC opener. Ryan Hamilton tied a school record with three interceptions, scored a touchdown on an interception return and saved a score with a goal-line tackle to help Vanderbilt remain undefeated and notch its second league victory. The Commodores intercepted four of Jevan Snead’s passes to put themselves in position to be ranked for the first time since 1984 by surviving an early and odd Rebels scoring flurry. Vanderbilt was one spot out of the Top 25 entering the week and is 4-0 for just the fourth time since World War II. But the Commodores (2-0 Southeastern Conference) needed a pair of goal-line stands and a final interception as time expired to win. The Rebels (2-2, 0-1) appeared as if they might run away early after forcing a fumble deep in Vanderbilt territory with a 10-0 lead. But Hamilton stepped in front of Snead’s pass and returned it 79 yards for a score. His second interception of Snead and 23-yard return helped set up a field goal that rallied Vanderbilt to a 17-17 halftime tie. The Commodores could only manage two more Bryant Hahnfeldt field goals in the second half, but Hamilton and the defense made it stand up. Hamilton made a crucial tackle on Ole Miss’ first series of the second half, when he caught running back Cordera Eason from behind on fourth-and-inches at the goal line. Hamilton later recovered a fumble on a punt return to negate another Ole Miss drive and finished the game off with a pick on Snead’s pass around the Vanderbilt 10. Hamilton also recovered a fumble, but wasn’t the only playmaker on the Commodores defense. Reshard Langford killed another drive with a bobbling interception of Snead at midfield, then Chris Marve finished off another Rebels’ goal-line chance for a rally when he forced Dexter McCluster to fumble into the end zone. D.J. Moore fell on the loose ball Ole Miss had plenty of chances to pick up the program’s 600th victory after an early fumble return by Peria Jerry and a kickoff return by Mike Wallace put the Rebels up 17-7. But six turnovers, poor play from an out-of-sync Snead, who finished 12-of-25 for 184 yards in his first bad game, and seven penalties for 82 yards sent them to their ninth straight SEC loss and 13th in the last 14 games.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Houston Nutt needed just five games to get a signature win at Ole Miss. Jevan Snead threw two touchdown passes, ran for another score and led the Rebels to a stunning 31-30 victory at No. 4 Florida. Snead outplayed last year’s Heisman Trophy winner,and he did it in The Swamp, where Florida (3-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) had won 21 of its last 22 games. In his fifth career start, Snead was 9-of-20 passing for 185 yards, not great numbers, but he made plays when the Rebels (3-2, 1-1) needed them. His biggest was an 86-yard touchdown pass to Shay Hodge that put the Rebels ahead 31-24 with 5:26 to play. Tim Tebow brought the Gators back, driving them 78 yards in about 2 minutes, but the game-tying extra point was blocked by defensive lineman Kentrell Lockett. Florida coach Urban Meyer argued that Lockett illegally jumped over the offensive line, but the officials did not agree. Florida forced a punt and had one more chance, but Tebow was stuffed for no gain on fourth-and-1 at the Ole Miss 32-yard line. Snead took a couple of knees from there, running out the clock and setting off a raucous celebration in and around the small section of Ole Miss who made the trip. Tebow was 24-of-38 passing for 319 yards and a touchdown. He ran 15 times for 7 yards and two scores, a far cry from the 166 yards he had in Oxford last season. He also misfired on several long passes and underthrew one in the end zone. And on his lone TD toss to Percy Harvin, it came on a deflected pass that Kendrick Lewis nearly intercepted. Florida’s biggest problem was three turnovers and a miserable third quarter that might go down as the worst 15 minutes in the Meyer era. Leading 17-7, Harvin fumbled on the second play of the third. Ole Miss turned it into a field goal. Tebow fumbled on the next play, and Snead found Cordera Eason on a perfectly called screen pass for an 18-yard touchdown. Eason leapt over Markihe Anderson at the 5 and rolled into the end zone to tie the game. It got worse for the Gators, too. Tebow, under heavy pressure all day long, just couldn’t find a rhythm. Ole Miss did. Dexter McCluster, who lined up countless times in the “Wild Rebel’’ formation made famous by Darren McFadden under Nutt at Arkansas, busted through the line and rambled 40 yards for a touchdown that made it 24-17. The Gators regrouped in the fourth - Tebow even tied it with a short run early in the quarter - but the defensive collapse on the long pass play and the blocked extra point turned out to be the difference.
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Ole Miss put together a solid day offensively against the nation’s top defense, but fell 31-24 in its homecoming game against South Carolina. On-again, off-again starter Chris Smelley threw three touchdown passes for South Carolina. Given the starting job Thursday, Smelley completed 22 of 31 passes for a career-high 327 yards and led an 11-play, 95-yard drive midway through the fourth quarter to put away Ole Miss, which stumbled a week after knocking off then-No. 4 Florida. The Rebels (3-3, 1-2 Southeastern Conference) appeared to take control early, but a pair of fumbles helped the Gamecocks (4-2, 1-2) earn a critical win that kept them from exiting the SEC East race in early October. Smelley, who sat last week after coach Steve Spurrier chose to start Stephen Garcia, made several strong throws in the game and only one big mistake, a third-quarter interception that didn’t hurt South Carolina. After Smelley hit Jason Barnes with a touchdown pass on third-and-goal from the 20 early in the second quarter, Gamecocks defensive lineman Nathan Peppers scooped up Jevan Snead’s fumble and returned it 29 yards for a 14-point swing in exactly a minute that gave South Carolina a 17-14 lead. Ole Miss answered to take a 21-14 halftime lead on a 24-yard pass from Snead to Brandon Bolden, but another fumble in the second half turned the game for the Gamecocks. Chris Culliver forced Dexter McCluster to fumble at the South Carolina 6 midway through the third quarter. Emmanuel Cook returned the fumble to the 42. It was McCluster’s second critical fumble near the opponent’s goal line in the last three games. A similar play at the 1 helped Vanderbilt beat Ole Miss two weeks ago. Smelley was especially sharp on the ensuing drive, converting a pair of first downs with quarterback sneaks, including fourth-and-inches at the Ole Miss 10. That set up the second of his two touchdown passes to Barnes, a 6-yarder that put the Gamecocks up 24-21. After Ole Miss downed the ball at the 5 following a punt on the ensuing drive, Smelley and tailback Mike Davis marched South Carolina down the field. Davis rushed for 28 yards on the drive and Smelley hit 5 of 6 passes for 54 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown pass to Joe Hills. The Gamecocks were the nation’s top defense entering the game, allowing 105 yards passing and 221 total yards per game coming in. But the Rebels surpassed both marks by halftime. Snead completed 12 of 15 passes for 154 yards by the break and the team added another 78 yards rushing, including 29 yards and a 5-yard touchdown by McCluster out of the Wild Rebel formation.

Game #8 • October 25, 2008 Attendance: 74,168 • DWR Razorback Stadium • Fayetteville, Ark.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- After seeing Alabama reel off 24 straight points in the first half, Ole Miss responded with 17 unanswered points in the second half, but the Rebel drive in the final minutes stalled in UA territory as the second-ranked Crimson Tide escaped 24-20. John Parker Wilson threw for a season-high 219 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and the Crimson Tide (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) stopped the Rebels (3-4, 1-3) on fourth-and-5 from its 43yard line in the final minute, when Jevan Snead’s pass to Dexter McCluster fell incomplete. Ole Miss closed to within 24-20 on Joshua Shene’s 35-yard field goal with 6:09 left. The Tide pushed the ball across midfield on its next possession aiming to put the game away but the drive stalled. P.J. Fitzgerald’s short punt gave Ole Miss the ball at its own 24 with 3:03 left. Snead ran it on the first three plays, including one 5-yard gain on a pass that was batted right back into his arms by Bobby Greenwood. Brandon Deaderick then had a sack, Snead threw an incompletion and hit McCluster for a 10-yard gain to set up fourth down. Houston Nutt’s team cashed in on two big gambles on the opening drive of the second half to make it 24-10. Snead ran up the middle for 17 yards on fourth-and-4. Then, Ole Miss faked a field goal, with blocking back Jason Cook taking a shovel pass from holder Rob Park for a 9-yard touchdown. A later fourth-down try in Alabama territory didn’t pay off, when Don’ta Hightower stuffed Davis on fourth-and-inches late in the third. Ole Miss got more chances, though. After the teams exchanged fumbles in the fourth quarter, Snead hit Shay Hodge for a 17-yard touchdown with 9:27 left. Alabama went three-and-out to give Ole Miss the ball back near midfield. Snead kept the drive alive with a 31-yard pass to Lionel Breaux on third-and-11. His next two passes fell incomplete, forcing the Rebels to settle for Shene’s kick. Enrique Davis gained 70 yards on 11 carries for Ole Miss, most of that coming on a 62-yarder that set up Shene’s first field goal. It was the longest play from scrimmage yielded by Alabama this season. The Tide had outscored opponents 88-0 in the first quarter before that.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Jevan Snead threw two touchdown passes, and Ole Miss held off an Arkansas rally to give coach Houston Nutt a 23-21 win over his former team. The Rebels (4-4, 2-3 Southeastern Conference) led 23-14 with 1:45 remaining, but Arkansas quickly cut the deficit to two on Casey Dick’s 22-yard touchdown pass to Greg Childs. The Razorbacks (3-5, 1-4) then tried an onside kick, and Arkansas’ Aaron Fenton appeared to recover it. Officials initially ruled the play out of bounds, but the call was reversed on review, giving the Razorbacks the ball with 1:03 to play. London Crawford caught a pass near the Ole Miss 20, but it was called back for offensive pass interference, and Arkansas didn’t threaten again. Nutt coached the Hogs for 10 seasons before leaving after last regular season to take over for SEC West Ole Miss. The Rebels took control early with a pair of scores near the end of the first half. The win was a major boost to the Rebels’ bowl hopes and their first over Arkansas since 2003. Arkansas trailed 20-14 after Dick’s 8-yard touchdown pass to Lucas Miller with 4:28 remaining, but Snead found Mike Wallace for a 42-yard pass on the next Ole Miss possession, and Joshua Shene kicked a 28-yard field goal with 1:45 to play. After that kick appeared to put the game out of reach, the Ole Miss fans in one corner of the stadium began chanting ``Houston Nutt! Houston Nutt!’’ The Arkansas fans booed, and a few of them began chanting ``Bobby’’ in reference to Nutt’s replacement, Bobby Petrino. Petrino made a key call in the second quarter. The Razorbacks had already missed one field goal, so he decided to go for it on fourth-and-1 from the Ole Miss 13. Michael Smith took a pitch to the left and went untouched to the end zone for a 7-3 lead. The Rebels answered, scoring twice in the final two minutes of the half. Snead threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Shay Hodge to give Ole Miss the lead with 1:58 remaining, then Fon Ingram intercepted a pass and returned it 38 yards to the 17. The Rebels had time for one more play, a 34-yard field goal by Shene that made it 13-7 at halftime. Ole Miss went ahead 20-7 with 13:21 left in the game when Snead found Wallace wide open in the back of the end zone for an 11-yard touchdown. Arkansas’ offense came back to life after that with a 97-yard scoring drive.

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Jevan Snead threw two touchdown passes, Cordera Eason rushed for 104 yards and Ole Miss capitalized on a series of fourth-quarter mistakes by Auburn to beat the Tigers 17-7 on Saturday and move within a game of bowl eligibility. With representatives of six bowls in attendance, Ole Miss converted Kodi Burns’ second interception into a game-clinching touchdown late in the fourth quarter on a drive that was aided by three Auburn penalties. It was the third Southeastern Conference win for Ole Miss (5-4, 3-3 SEC) under first-year coach Houston Nutt, matching the total put up in the last three seasons. The win snapped a four-game losing streak to the Tigers (4-5, 2-4), who were 8-1 in Oxford coming into the game. The Rebels need one more win to clinch one of the SEC’s nine bowl bids. After a week off, they play Louisiana-Monroe before finishing the season at LSU and against Mississippi State. Ole Miss cornerbacks Cassius Vaughn and Marshay Green each had their first career interceptions, helping to kill drives with the game on the line. Ole Miss’ three interceptions of Burns were the most since four in the 2007 season opener against Memphis. Burns’ third and final interception ended Auburn’s last threat with less than 4 minutes left. The Tigers never crossed midfield in the first half and had just 80 yards in the first two quarters. They finished with 394 total yards of offense thanks to a handful of long pass completions, but never put together a consistent drive and were held to 75 yards rushing. Snead, meanwhile, got stronger as the game went on. He shook off a bad start to connect with Shay Hodge on a 2-yard touchdown late in the second quarter that was set up by a 29-yard catch and a 22-yard run by Dexter McCluster. Despite the difficult first half, Auburn quickly got back in the game on the opening drive of the second half on a 27-yard run by Ben Tate to make it 10-7. Two drives later, Auburn nosed into Ole Miss territory on a 29-yard pass from Burns to Montez Billings. But two plays later Johnny Brown tipped Burns’ pass and Vaughn picked it off at the Ole Miss 40. On the next drive, Burns led the Tigers to the Rebels’ 17, hitting Slaughter with a 42-yard pass. But three plays later Green stepped in front of a pass in the right flat and returned it to the 34. The Rebels drove 66 yards for the clinching score - a 3-yard pass to a wide-open Derrick Davis in the right flat. The touchdown was set up by two facemasks and a pass interference penalty. Snead finished 15-for-30 for 140 yards, connecting six times with Hodge for 62 yards. And Eason’s rushing total was a career high. The most important statistic for the Rebels, though, was zero turnovers. The team is now 5-0 when turning the ball over two or fewer times.
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Jevan Snead threw three touchdowns and added two rushing scores as Ole Miss became bowl eligible for the first time since 2003 with a 59-0 win over Louisiana-Monroe. It was the Rebels’ greatest margin of victory since a 69-7 win over Southern Miss in 1969. Ole Miss (6-4) built a 38-0 halftime lead after scoring on six of seven possessions. The first half offensive outburst was the most productive since a 40-0 halftime lead against Memphis in 1980. Snead was 6-of-12 for 170 yards and rushed three times for 11 yards to account for five touchdowns. Cordera Eason added 107 yards in 14 carries as the Rebels finished with 520 yards, 341 in the first half, in total offense. ULM (3-8) managed to cross midfield only twice and was limited to 131 yards in total offense Ole Miss covered 72, 54, 37, 31 and 94 yards on the first half touchdown series. Snead had scoring passes of 22 and 23 yards to Gerald Harris and Mike Wallace, between touchdown runs of 17 and 22 yards by Eason and Dexter McCluster. Snead capped the first half with a 1-yard scoring run before connecting on a 3-yard touchdown pass to Derrick Davis and a 9-yard scoring run for a 52-0 lead with 5:54 left in the third period. Enrique Davis added a 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth period.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Houston Nutt showed once again he knows how to win in Tiger Stadium which will certainly enhance his popularity at his new school. Jevan Snead threw two touchdown passes, Markeith Summers ran for a 13-yard score out of the “Wild Rebel’’ formation and Ole Miss won its fourth straight game with a 31-13 triumph over No. 18 LSU. Ole Miss (7-4, 4-3 Southeastern Conference) snapped a six-game losing streak against LSU (7-4, 3-4) with its first win in the long rivalry since 2001. Snead was 16-of-25 for 274 yards. His scoring passes went for 34 and 25 yards, both to Mike Wallace. Ole Miss was dominant on defense as well, knocking LSU starting quarterback Jarrett Lee out of the game and holding the Tigers to only one touchdown. The Rebels committed to shutting down LSU’s powerful running game, holding the Tigers to 37 yards on 29 carries. They dared LSU’s young quarterbacks to throw and the Tigers could not answer the challenge. Ole Miss had four sacks. Lee was 4-of-12 for 49 yards and one interception before he was sidelined with a right ankle injury late in the first half. Jefferson came on to lead LSU on its only touchdown drive. He wound up 10-of-20 for 129 yards, one TD and one interception. He was sacked three times, the final time when LSU tried to pass on fourth-and-23 in the fourth quarter. The Rebels needed only one possession to take a 7-0 lead. LSU got crossed up in pass coverage on third-and-17, leaving Wallace wide open over the middle for his 34-yard TD. Colt David’s 46-yard field goal made it 7-3. But Ole Miss struck back when Nutt called for a fake punt on fourth-and-4. Upback Jason Cook cut off the long snap and passed to Kendrick Lewis for a 33-yard gain to the LSU 5. Soon after, Brandon Bolden’s 3-yard run made it 14-3. The Rebels went 81 yards in five plays on their next drive, which was capped by Snead’s pinpoint loft down the sideline to Wallace in the end zone. Lee’s injury occurred on LSU’s next series. He was backpedaling under pressure when he lofted a first-down pass to Brandon LaFell just before being brought down hard by Ole Miss defensive tackle Jerry Peria. The 6-foot-2, 290-pound Peria landed on top of Lee and the quarterback’s right leg appeared to fold awkwardly under him. Jordan came on in relief and threw his 9-yard TD pass to Terrance Toliver four plays later, pulling LSU to 21-10 before halftime. David’s 52-yard field goal on the opening series of the second half made it 21-13 and the momentum appeared to be shifting, but Nutt has this Ole Miss squad playing with too much confidence to fold. Snead recognized another breakdown in LSU coverage and hit a wide open Lionel Breaux down the left sideline for 39-yards to the Tigers 16. Three plays later, the single wing formation known at Ole Miss as the “Wild Rebel’’ produced points when Summers took a handoff from Dexter McCluster and ran around the left end to make it 28-13.
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Jevan Snead threw for 213 yards and four touchdowns, Greg Hardy had three of Ole Miss’ school-record 11 sacks and the 25th-ranked Rebels beat Mississippi State 45-0 in the most lopsided Egg Bowl in 37 years. The Rebels (8-4, 5-3 Southeastern Conference), spurred by an opportunity to play in a top-tier bowl, scored 2:20 seconds in, led 24-0 after the first quarter and dominated the fading Bulldogs (4-8, 2-6) in every phase. The margin of victory was the largest in the series since Ole Miss beat Mississippi State 48-0 in 1971. Snead completed his first nine passes for 117 yards and touchdowns of 10 yards to Shay Hodge and 17 yards to Mike Wallace. Meanwhile, the Ole Miss defense hit Mississippi State’s quarterbacks on nine of their first 10 pass attempts, intercepted two of their first five passes and knocked starter Tyson Lee from the game twice with a bruised shoulder and a cut to his face. The Rebels finally slowed down in the second quarter, but Snead hit a wide-open Wallace sprinting down the right sideline on a 72-yard touchdown for a 31-0 lead with 42 seconds left until halftime. It was their best start in an SEC game since they went up on Alabama by the same score behind Eli Manning in 2003. Shay Hodge had 76 yards receiving and a touchdown in the first quarter alone and Wallace finished with 105 yards receiving. Dexter McCluster opened the scoring with a 36-yard touchdown run out of the Wild Rebel formation and finished with 68 yards rushing. It was the fifth straight win at home for Ole Miss, which has won five of the last seven Egg Bowls. Ole Miss finishes second in the SEC West and with Alabama and Florida both possibly playing in BCS bowls, the Rebels and Georgia figure to be selected next by affiliated bowls. The Rebels had 324 yards to the Bulldogs’ 29 at halftime and finished with an advantage of 46124. The Ole Miss defensive line was dominant. Already second in the nation with 8.36 tackles for loss per game, the Rebels turned it up against an overwhelmed Bulldogs offensive line. The Rebels finished with a school-record minus-64 rushing yards allowed and 14 tackles for loss. Defensive end Hardy and tackle Peria Jerry led the charge. Jerry had four tackles for loss, including two sacks. Fellow tackle Jerrell Powe finished with 1 1/2 sacks, two tackles for loss and an interception. Mississippi State crossed midfield just twice, but only once under its own steam after Karlin Brown returned a second-quarter interception into Ole Miss territory. A second foray across midfield was quickly pushed back across the 50 by a personal foul penalty.

HOUSTON NUTT - HEAD COACH • SEC Coach of the Year (Coaches, Touchdown Club of Atlanta) • Region 2 Coach of the Year (AFCA)
DALLAS (AP) - Ole Miss isn’t just the team that handed Florida its only loss. These Rebels are seriously on the rise. Behind Jevan Snead’s passing, Dexter McCluster’s squirming runs and some big returns by Marshay Green, No. 20 Ole Miss overcame an early deficit and beat No. 8 Texas Tech 47-34 Friday in the final Cotton Bowl played in the stadium of the same name. The Red Raiders (11-2) converted a pair of early turnovers into a 14-0 lead, but Snead led the Rebels to touchdowns on their next three drives, followed by a go-ahead field goal shortly before halftime. Once Green returned an interception 65 yards for a touchdown early in the third quarter, Ole Miss (9-4) was well on its way to capping coach Houston Nutt’s first season in grand style. This was Ole Miss’ sixth straight win, matching its longest streak since 2003, when Eli Manning was a senior. That also was the last time the Rebels had been to a bowl. This roll began when Ole Miss was only 3-4 and coming off consecutive losses following its stunning upset at the Swamp. Although Texas Tech pulled off huge comebacks in its last two bowls, McCluster ended any such thoughts by barreling into the end zone with 4:34 left. When Rebels fans finished clapping, they began chanting ``S-E-C! S-E-C!’’ They did so again with 1:37 left after Ole Miss snuffed out a 2-point conversion attempt, then again following a recovered onside kick. A little louder and the chants might’ve been heard at the Big 12 offices about 12 miles away. Still, the message that the fourth-best team in the SEC, according to the polls, is better than the third-best team in the Big 12 will certainly be noted as schools from these leagues - No. 1 Florida and No. 2 Oklahoma - meet next week in the national championship game. The Red Raiders had a direct path to playing in that game until getting crushed by the Sooners in late November. At the time, they were unbeaten and ranked second, the highest mark in school history. Getting drubbed in two of the last three games takes some shine off Tech’s season, and kept senior quarterback Graham Harrell from going out with the school’s record-setting 12th win. Harrell’s consolation was several statistical feats: most career touchdowns in major college football (four in this game made it 134 for his career, breaking the record of 131 set by Hawaii’s Colt Brennan) and first player with two 5,000-yard passing seasons. Harrell was 36-of-58 for a Cotton Bowl-record 364 yards, giving him 5,111 yards this season. Only five other quarterbacks have cracked 5,000, including Brennan and two others from Texas Tech. This was the 73rd Cotton Bowl and the last in its namesake home.

HISTORY & RECORDS
HISTORY OF OLE MISS FOOTBALL The University of Mississippi boasts a long and colorful football history, which includes the formation of the first football team in the state, as well as one of the winningest programs in the history of collegiate football. In its 116-year history, the Ole Miss football program has claimed three national championships (1959, 1960 and 1962), six Southeastern Conference titles (1947, 1954, 1955, 1960, 1962, and 1963), and one SEC Western Division title (2003), produced 44 first-team All-Americans and 163 All-SEC First Team selections, appeared in 32 bowl games with 20 wins, and sent 240 players into the professional ranks.
Rebel Football Beginnings
The beginnings of the program can be traced all the way back to 1890, when Dr. A.L. Bondurant, who would later serve as dean of the Graduate School, urged Ole Miss students to help in the formation of an Athletic Association in the interests of football, baseball and tennis. Such a group became a reality a short while later, and in 1893, a football team was organized, with Bondurant serving as the manager-coach. That first squad set a precedent that was to become an Ole Miss tradition, winning four of five games during that maiden season, including a 56-0 victory over Southwest Baptist University of Jackson, Tenn., in the inaugural game on Nov. 11, 1893. Early financial matters were the responsibility of the manager and support came largely from the Athletic Association, which was made up of a combination of students and faculty members willing to back the athletes by payment of a small fee. Although it has never been documented, it is thought that C.D. Clark of Tufts was the first paid football coach at Ole Miss. His name appears as manager of the team as shown in the Ole Miss Magazine dated November 1894.

the program for more than one season. Those early years were characterized by periods of both prosperity and difficult times: 1883-95, 12-3; 1896-1908, 24-36-1; 190914, 33-17-4; and 1915-24, 30-48. Since the formation of the Athletics Committee in 1925, the Rebels have had just 12 head coaches, with three of those also handling the dual responsibility of athletic director. The establishment of the committee on a faculty-alumni basis (a student representative has since been added) seemed to re-establish alumni support for the football program and a bright future lay ahead. Homer Hazel of Rutgers served as the head coach from 1925-29, winning 21 games, losing 22 and tying three before being succeeded by Ed Walker, a Stanford graduate, in 1930. While Walker’s record was a modest 38-38-8 over his eight-year stay, he firmly established the direction of the football program. He took Ole Miss to its The Pre-WWII Years Prior to 1925, a total of 22 coaches took their turn first bowl game in 1935, with the Rebels falling to Catholic as head coach at Ole Miss, with only seven heading up University, 20-19 in the Orange Bowl, and also coached the Rebels’ first All-America first teamer in Bruiser Kinard in 1936. Kinard, who also earned All-America first team honors in 1937, would be the first of 44 Rebels to earn the prestigious national accolade. Under Walker’s tenure, Ole Miss took another step to help cement a solid future for Rebel football and other athletic teams when it became a charter member of the SEC in 1933. The Rebels have competed in the league ever since. Prior to joining the SEC, Ole Miss had competed in the Southern Conference from 1922-32. Harry Mehre, from Notre Dame, became the head coach in 1938 and put together a pre-war record of 3926-1, which included several notable victories. Mehre led Ole Miss to its The 2009 season marks the 100th anniversary of the above 1909 team, sporting matching sweaters and turtlenecks. Coached by Dr. Nathan P. Stauffer and captained by first-ever victory over Vanderbilt in halfback-end William C. “Chuck” Trotter (with ball) of Winona, Ole Miss went 4-3-2 that 1939, its first win in 11 years over season. It was Stauffer’s first of three seasons, the longest tenure to that point by any LSU in 1938, and the first win over

Tulane in 25 seasons in 1941. The post-war period would prove to be the Rebels’ most glorious era as C.M. “Tad” Smith, a member of the Ole Miss athletic family since 1929, succeeded Mehre as director of athletics. Smith would serve as athletic director for 25 years before retiring on Feb. 1, 1971.

Vaught Places Ole Miss On National Football Map
John Vaught, a line coach under Drew and a former
All-American at TCU, remained in Oxford as head coach in 1947 and led the Ole Miss program to national prominence over the next 24 years. In his first season at the helm in 1947, the Rebels posted a 9-2 record and won the first of six SEC crowns (1947, 1954, 1955, 1960, 1962, 1963). That 1947 season also saw Ole Miss great Charlie Conerly become the first Rebel player to be a contender for the Heisman Trophy, placing fourth in the voting for the prestigious honor. Vaught’s first year proved to be a sign of good things to come for Ole Miss. During his 24-year tenure, the Rebels

would have only one losing campaign. Vaught’s squads, however, didn’t stop at just winning league titles, as the Rebels claimed three national championships in 1959, 1960 and 1962. Ole Miss won the 1959 Dunkel System national crown, the 1960 Football Writers Association of America, Dunkel System, and Williamson System national championships and the 1962 Litkenhous Ratings national title. Vaught’s 1959 squad, which was honored as the “SEC Team of the Decade,” was ranked the third best collegiate football team from 1956 to 1995, according to the Jeff Sagarin Ratings released in January of 1996. The Rebels were also among the winningest programs in the country under Vaught during the 1950s and 1960s. From 1950-59, Ole Miss posted an 80-21-5 record (.778 winning percentage). The 80 wins and 77.8 winning percentage were second to only Oklahoma during that decade. In the 1960s, Vaught guided the Rebels to a 72-20-6 record and a 76.5 winning percentage, which was the fourth best during that decade. Under Vaught’s guidance, Ole Miss made Hemingway Stadium (later named Vaught-Hemingway Stadium) one of the toughest places in the nation for opposing teams to play. In his 24 seasons at the helm, Vaught’s teams compiled an impressive 57-6-2 record in Oxford for an astounding 89.2 winning percentage. From 1952-1964, the Rebels put together an incredible 34-game homefield unbeaten streak (33-0-1), including 21-straight victories from 1952-59. In the 1950s and 1960s under Vaught, Ole Miss was a fixture in the national polls. The Rebels were ranked atop the Associated Press poll for three weeks during the 1960 season and one week during the 1961 campaign. In 1964, Ole Miss was ranked preseason No. 1 in the Associated Press poll. Vaught also made going to postseason play the norm rather than the exception for the Rebel football program. Ole Miss played in 15 consecutive bowl games from 1957-71 which, at that time, was a national record. In all, Vaught led Ole Miss to 18 bowl game appearances, posting a 10-8 record in those contests. For his efforts, Vaught was named SEC Coach of the Year six times (1947, 1948, 1954, 1955, 1960, 1962). During his time at the helm, Vaught coached some of the best players ever to wear the Red & Blue. In 24 seasons, Vaught produced 26 All-America first teamers. He also coached four players who finished in the top five in the Heisman Trophy voting. Along with Conerly in 1947, Charlie Flowers (5th in 1959), Jake Gibbs (3rd in 1960) and Archie Manning (4th in 1969, 3rd in 1970) were in the running for college football’s top honor. Failing health forced Vaught to resign his position in 1970 and the reins of the Ole Miss football program were turned over to Billy Kinard.
HISTORY & RECORDS
Harold (Red) Drew of Bates was brought in as head coach in 1946 and Ole Miss football stood on the verge of becoming one of the most powerful and respected programs in the country. A long-time assistant coach at Alabama, Drew remained at Ole Miss just one season before returning to Tuscaloosa as head coach, but his brief stay would prove to change the course of Rebel football.

Kinard became the first Ole Miss alumnus to head up the football program, while Frank “Bruiser” Kinard, an offensive line coach under Vaught since 1948, was named to replace Smith as athletic director that same year. The Rebels went 16-9 under Billy Kinard, including a 10-2 record and a 41-18 Peach Bowl victory over Georgia Tech in his first year in 1971. Kinard’s 10 victories are tied for fourth most by a first-year head coach in NCAA Division I history. Kinard coached the Rebels through the 1972 cam-

paign and the third contest of the 1973 season, before startling developments following the Sept. 22, 1973, game with Memphis State saw both Kinards replaced by Vaught. Vaught returned to the field to guide the Rebels through the remainder of the 1973 season while also taking on the responsibility of athletic director. Following the 1973 football campaign, Vaught resigned once again as head coach, but remained on as athletic director. His final record with the Rebels was an amazing 190-61-12. The 190 victories still rank Vaught among the top 25 winningest coaches in NCAA Division I history, and he is the fourth-winningest coach in SEC history behind Bear Bryant’s (Alabama) 323 wins, Lou Holtz’s (South Carolina) 238 wins and Vince Dooley’s (Georgia) 201 victories. In 1979, Vaught was inducted in the National College Football Hall of Fame. Ken Cooper, an assistant under Kinard since 1971, was named head coach on Jan. 17, 1974, and took Ole Miss through the 1977 season. Cooper compiled a 21-23 record during his four years at the helm, and his tenure is probably best remembered for one hot and humid day in September 1977. In one of the most memorable games in Rebel football history, Ole Miss upset Notre Dame, 2013 in Mississippi Memorial Stadium on Sept. 17, 1977, in Jackson. That loss was the Irish’s lone setback of the 1977 campaign, as Notre Dame finished the season with an 11-1 record and claimed the national title. Following the 1977 season, Steve Sloan was hired as the new Rebel boss and began his five-year stint in 1978. Sloan posted a 20-34 record from 1978-82.
Brewer Returns
After stepping outside the Ole Miss family football tree the previous nine seasons, Ole Miss looked for a familiar face to lead the football program, and the Rebels found that person when Billy Brewer returned to Oxford to take over as head coach in December of 1982. In only his first season in 1983, Brewer put the Ole Miss program on the road back to national prominence. Brewer guided the Rebels to their first winning regular season since 1977 with a 7-4 mark. The Rebels received their first bowl game invitation since 1971 and met Air

Force in the Independence Bowl. Ole Miss dropped a 9-3 decision to the Falcons and finished with a 7-5 record. Brewer followed his first season with 10 more at the helm of the Rebel program. During his tenure, he led the Rebels to five more winning seasons and four additional bowls, including Ole Miss’ 1990 New Year’s Day Gator Bowl appearance. The Jan. 1 bowl game was the program’s first since 1969. He was named SEC Coach of the Year in 1986 (8-3-1 record) and 1990 (9-3 record), and the 1986 season saw the Rebels return to the national rankings for the first time in over a decade. In his 11 seasons, Brewer also led Ole Miss to eight Egg Bowl victories over rival Mississippi State. Brewer coached 11 years (1983-93) and compiled a 67-56-3 record, making him the second winningest Ole Miss football coach behind Vaught. Brewer was dismissed just prior to the 1994 season, and Joe Lee Dunn took over as interim coach, directing the Rebels to a 4-7 record under difficult circumstances.
Rebels On The Rise
Jake Gibbs
In the mid-1990s, Ole Miss football was somewhat down, but not out, and it needed a boost of energy to revitalize the program. On Dec. 2, 1994, Tommy Tuberville was selected as the coach in charge of getting the Rebels on the right track. After serving as an assistant coach on the collegiate level for nine seasons (eight at Miami and one at Texas A&M), Tuberville began creating excitement in his first season in 1995, finishing the campaign with a 6-5 record and a Egg Bowl victory over Mississippi State. That excitement grew to a fever pitch in 1997, when Ole Miss recorded its best season since 1992 with an 8-4 record, a thrilling 15-14 Egg Bowl victory over Mississippi State and a Motor City Bowl win over Marshall. The bowl appearance was the program’s first since 1992, and the Rebels earned a final national ranking of No. 22 in both polls. The revitalized Ole Miss program continued its winning ways in 1998, despite a coaching change following the regular season. David Cutcliffe took over as head coach on Dec. 2, 1998. Cutcliffe, who came to Ole Miss
from his offensive coordinator post at Tennessee, took over the reins just 29 days before the Rebels’ Sanford Independence Bowl date versus Texas Tech. Despite the short preparation time for the game, Cutcliffe led the Rebels to a 35-18 victory over the Red Raiders, quite arguably the biggest upset of the 1998 bowl season.
Offensive Fireworks Over Oxford
Cutcliffe, who is recognized as one of the top offensive minds in collegiate football, brought with him to Oxford a high-powered offensive style that had Rebel fans waiting with anticipation for each season to start. In his six seasons, the Rebels averaged more than 350 points per year, including shattering the record for points scored in a season during the 2003 campaign with 442. The previous mark was 391 points by the 2001 squad. During Cutcliffe’s tenure, the Rebels set numerous game, season and career records. Cutcliffe’s football philosophy also translated into wins for the Rebel program. Under Cutcliffe, Ole Miss posted 44 overall victories, including four wins in the postseason. In the time from 1997-2003, the Rebels played in

six bowl games, tied with Arkansas for the most bowl appearances among SEC Western Division schools during that span. The only SEC teams that made bowl appearances all seven years were Florida, Georgia and Tennessee, all Eastern Division squads. In 2003 Cutcliffe guided the Rebels, who many picked to finish fifth in the SEC’s Western Division, to a 10-3 overall mark and a share of the SEC West title with eventual BCS National Champion LSU. The title was the Rebels’ first league football title of any sort since winning the conference crown in 1963. Following their 31-28 victory over Oklahoma State in the SBC Cotton Bowl Classic, the Rebels ended the 2003 campaign with a No. 13 national ranking. It was Ole Miss’ first New Year’s bowl since the 1991 Gator Bowl against Michigan. Cutcliffe preceded his 2003 campaign with four winning seasons in 1999 (8-4), 2000 (7-5), 2001 (7-4) and 2002 (7-6) becoming the first Rebel mentor since Harry Mehre (1938-41) to post winning marks in his first five years. Cutcliffe also directed Ole Miss to four bowl appearances in his first five seasons, and is the only head coach in Ole Miss history to do so.

Coach “O” Puts Rebels on Recruiting Map
On December 16, 2004, Ole Miss turned to one of college football’s premier recruiters and defensive line coaches in Ed Orgeron. He took control of the Rebel program after serving the previous seven seasons as defensive line coach at the University of Southern California, where he played a key role in Pete Carroll’s Trojans winning back-to-back national championships in 2003 and 2004. Orgeron also served as USC’s recruiting coordinator from 2001-2004 and was named the 2004 National Recruiter of the Year by The Sporting News and Rivals. com. Orgeron’s talent as a recruiter created a buzz among Rebel fans and drew national attention when Ole Miss’ 2006 signing class finished as high as ninth in the rankings. All three of his recruiting classes were listed among the best in college football.
The Houston Nutt Era Begins
The Ole Miss football program sought a proven winner in a head coach and found that man and more in Houston Nutt, who was introduced as the Rebels’ 36th head coach on Nov. 28, 2007. After guiding Arkansas to three SEC Western Division titles and eight bowl berths in his decade in Fayetteville, Nutt immediately reversed the Rebels’ fortunes and became just the fifth Ole Miss coach to guide the Rebels to a bowl in his first season. With a 9-4 record and a 5-3 mark in the SEC, Nutt led one of the greatest turnarounds in school history, re-

viving a Rebel squad that was coming off four straight losing seasons and a 3-8 campaign with no conference wins in 2007. It marked the team’s best improvement from one season to the next since legendary Ole Miss Coach John Vaught’s debut in 1947. Projected to place fifth in the SEC Western Division in the preseason, Nutt’s first Rebel unit finished second in the West, ended the season on a six-game win streak and earned a No. 14 final national ranking. Nutt’s efforts earned him SEC Coach of the Year honors (SEC Coaches and The Touchdown Club of Atlanta) for the third time in his decorated career and AFCA Region Coach of the Year accolades for the fifth time. The 2008 campaign saw Nutt continue his reputation as a giant killer, knocking off three top-20 foes away

from Oxford, including the defending national champion in No. 18 LSU and the eventual title holder in No. 4 Florida. The third win was a resounding 47-34 defeat of No. 8 Texas Tech in the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic. Ole Miss has always been committed to having one of the top football programs in the nation, and the University has strengthened that commitment in recent years. The stadium increased its capacity to 60,580 in 2002 with the bowling in of the south end zone, making it the largest facility in the state. With the additional seating, the Rebels have set record-breaking attendance figures over the last seven years. In addition, a new state-of-the-art, synthetic surface called AstroPlay was installed in the stadium for the 2003 season. The fan experience at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium was further enhanced last fall with the $6 million addition of a high definition scoreboard. A highlight of the athletics department’s recent growth in facilities is the IPF. The 150,000 square-foot enclosure features a full-sized indoor practice field among many other amenities. The tradition continues for a program with a proud and storied history.

HISTORY & RECORDS
OPPOSITION PUNTING
THE PERFECT TEAM 1962 ... The year stands as a benchmark of change in the life of Ole Miss. Legendary Rebel Head Coach John Vaught and his football team not only put together the only perfect season in the history of Ole Miss foobtall, but they also captured the Litkenhous Ratings national title and their fifth SEC championship. The season’s highlight came when the Rebels were invited to the prestigious Sugar Bowl, where they defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks 17-13. Vaught garnered SEC Coach of the Year honors. Those associated with the 1962 team donated the funds for the “Walk of Champions” arch, located at the entrance to the Grove near the Student Union plaza. The site is the route for the football team’s traditional “walk through The Grove” on game days. It was dedicated in the fall of 1998. The purpose of the arch is to remind all athletes that they play for national championships, SEC championships and Ole Miss pride. The names of the coaches,
players, trainers and managers who won the hearts of Rebel fans with their spirit and tenacity are listed on a plaque. “Joe Wilkins, Larry ‘Leo’ Johnson and I first discussed the idea of an arch in the fall of 1997 while we were visiting in the Grove, and we agreed to purse it,” said Samuel W. Owen of Nashville, a member of the 1962 team. “We want the arch to stand as a symbol of what can be accomplished with teamwork, loyalty and trust.”

THE LONGEST GAME
The November 3, 2001 contest between Ole Miss and Arkansas in Oxford kicked off at 6:06 p.m. (CT), and four hours and 14 minutes later, coaches, players, fans, media members and an ESPN2 national audience saw a game that will go down in the college football record books. The Rebels and Razorbacks stood toe-to-toe in an epic, seven overtime battle, that saw the Hogs come out on top 58-56. It is tied for the longest OT game in NCAA history, and it remains the highest scoring game (both teams combined) on the Ole Miss all-time charts.
Jason Armstead (9) is congratulated by Doug Zeigler (89), following one of Armsteadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three TDs versus the Razorbacks.

FIELD GOALS
Prior to 1959, modern-era college field goals were measured from the line of scrimmage to the goalposts. Since 1959, they have been measured from point of origin to the goalposts. To adjust, all goals kicked prior to 1959 were lengthened by seven yards. This rule was a suggested optional in 1958. Yards 59 58 57 54 54 52 52 52

3 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS | 6 SEC CHAMPIONSHIPS | 20 BOWL VICTORIES | 32 BOWL APPEARANCES
The following is the background as to how the Ole MissMississippi State football game came to be known as the “Battle of the Golden Egg” or even “The Egg Bowl.” Many of the excerpts are reprinted from the book “Mississippi Mayhem,” written by WIlliam Banner, III.
1926 Up until the 1926 meeting in Starkville, Ole Miss had only claimed five victories in the previous 23 football contests between the Rebels and Bulldogs. Thus, when Ole Miss claimed a 7-6 victory over then Mississippi A&M College, a celebration was due at Scott Field after that ‘26 contest. Oddly, huge roars went up from both sides at the final whistle, not just from the Ole Miss stands. While the A&M players walked slowly off the field with heads bowed, wrote one newsman, the Maroon student section stood and sang the alma mater. But on the east side, pandemonium. Well wishers rushed “like madmen onto the field,” Webb Burke said in his 1957 interview. Some fans made a dash for the goal posts. Irate Aggie supporters took after the ambitious Ole Miss group with cane bottom chairs, and fights broke out. The mayhem continued until most of the chairs were splintered. As explained by the Reveille, A&M yearbook, “A few chairs had to be sacrificed over the heads of these to persuade them that was entirely the wrong attitude.” As described in a story for the Commercial Appeal by Ben Hilbun, who one day would become president of the Starkville school, “The phantom of victory, that for thirteen years eluded Ole Miss, returned to the bearded Berserkers ... and they won over A&M, their traditional rivals, 7 to 6.” Ole Miss students fought for the goal posts, he continued, “but were restrained.” Ole Miss fans couldn’t believe their victory. Through all their 13 defeats since 1910 (they did not play in 1912, 1913 and 1914) they had only scored in three games, counted just 33 points to A&M’s 327, an average of 25-3. Injuries to players were expected. But not to spectators. Ole Miss and A&M students, shocked by the battle that erupted after the game, vowed that it must not happen again. The result was the Golden Egg, a trophy to cool the heat of battle, instituted the following season by joint agreement of the two student bodies. Meanwhile, “The Battle of Starkville” continued in student newspapers. The Reflector denounced other newspaper stories complimenting the clean play, especially that of Ole Miss. The Aggie writers thought the Ole Miss players used some unfair tactics. The Mississippian asked, “Why ‘gripe,’ ye Aggie Scribe? Wait til ‘next year’.”
The Reflector described the post-game battle. Only a band of “hoodlums,” a writer declared, would swarm onto a field of victory to secure souvenirs. The Mississippian replied that the Aggie chair brigade which defended the goal posts “came to the field with malice aforethought ... with the intent of staging a ‘free for all’ ...” 1927 The Golden Egg was first proposed by members of Iota Sigma, an Ole Miss honorary activities fraternity. As thoughts of last year’s game, Iota Sigma proposed that a trophy be awarded in a dignified ceremony designed to calm excited fans. One proposal that was rejected was to send the goal posts to the winning side each year. A&M approved the suggestion of an award, and Ole Miss, two weeks before the game, officially added its approval. The trophy, to be called “The Golden Egg”, would be a regulation-size gold-plated football mounted on a pedestal. Costs of approximately $250 would be shared by both schools. Ole Miss students held a tag day to raise funds. The joint resolution of the two student bodies declared they agreed on the trophy “in order to effect a better understanding in athletic relations, to foster clean sportsmanship, and to promote a lasting tradition...” A brand-new series between the University of Mississippi and Mississippi A&M College began on Thanksgiving Day, 1927; the first Battle of the Golden Egg. Of course, it was the Ole Miss-A&M slugfest, played before a crowd of 14,000 for the first possession of the gold football which was to become symbolic of supremacy in this annual feud-battle.
It was actually the 25th meeting of the two combatants. And for the second time in four years it was Push versus Pass, a heavier line versus a lighter passing attack. And once again the Pushers prevailed, except this time the pushing team was Ole Miss. The score was 20-12. Purser Hewitt of the Clarion-Ledger described it best: “On the sidelines a band garbed in red and blue played ‘Give ‘em Hell, Mississippi’ and on the gridiron a team wearing the same colors did that very thing...” Unlike last year’s brawl ending, the 1927 game closed with a highly dignified ceremony, the first presentation of the Golden Egg. As previously agreed in the inception of the egg, the schools first sang their alma maters, Ole Miss, as winner, sang first. The captains of the two teams, presidents of the two student bodies and the heads of the two schools met in the center of the field. B.M. Walker, president of A&M, presented the trophy to Alfred Hume, chancellor of the University, who turned it over to Ole Miss captain Applewhite. The Mississippian, Ole Miss’ student newspaper, reported “sincere handshaking” among players of both teams. And, “Throughout the day not a single demonstration of violence was committed...” Captain Applewhite, proudly holding the Golden Egg, was carried from the field on the shoulders of “a score of students.” The Egg is one of the most treasured possessions of either school. It is engraved with the score of each year’s game and stands in a place of honor. When a tie occurred, the previous year’s winner kept it for the first half of the year, then it went to the other school.

THE BATTLE FOR THE GOLDEN EGG
The Spoils of Victory: Members of the 2008 Ole Miss squad, including head coach Houston Nutt, raise “The Golden Egg” above their heads after dismantling Mississippi State 45-0 in Oxford, the largest margin of victory since the Rebels shutout the Bulldogs 48-0 in 1971.

HISTORY & RECORDS
1978 The Ole Miss-Mississippi State series took on a new twist in 1978, a season which saw the Rebels 4-6 and the Bulldogs 6-4 heading into the season finale. As Steve Doyle of the Jackson, Miss., Clarion-Ledger reported in the Nov. 20 edition, “In a year in which neither team will be remembered, the Battle of the Golden Egg is a bowl game. Intense, heated, unbelievable in its lore, this one is for supremacy of the season. Bragging rights, recruiting edges and sheer pride are the guts of it. Every cliche you’ve ever heard about a single game applies to it.” A year earlier, the Clarion-Ledger headline on game day had been “Egg Bowl Is Up For Scramble” and the following day it was “Egg Bowl ‘77: State 18, Ole Miss 14.” In 1978, with both teams apparently out of the bowl picture, Executive Sports Editor Tom Patterson decided to do something extra to spice up coverage of the annual grudge match, instructing his staff to follow the “Egg Bowl” theme throughout the week. The result was an award winning special section on Sunday, which recounted in great detail the Rebels’ stunning 27-7 victory over the highly-favored Bulldogs. In that game, John Fourcade made his first start at quarterback to become the first Ole Miss freshman since 1945 to receive the starting nod at the signal-caller slot. The special section was a big success and the die was cast. Patterson’s idea, for the most part, has been continued by the paper since 1978. Although it’s officially the “Battle of the Golden Egg,” most members of the media now refer to the annual bloodletting simply as the “Egg Bowl.”
Tommy Tuberville a triumph over the school’s biggest rival in his first Egg Bowl game. Dou Innocent rushed for a record 242 yards on 39 carries to help the Rebels overcome an early 10-0 deficit. The Bulldogs never entered Ole Miss territory in the second half. 1997 The 1997 contest provided another close contest and perhaps the most exciting finish ever in the series. Stewart Patridge hit Andre Rone for a 10-yard TD pass with 25 seconds left and then found Cory Peterson over the middle on the two-point conversion attempt to give the Rebels a 15-14 win over Mississippi State. The win propelled the Rebels to their first bowl game since the 1992 Liberty Bowl when they were rewarded with an invite to the inaugural Ford Motor City Bowl in Pontiac, Mich. 2000 Running back Deuce McAllister rushed for three touchdowns and passed for another to lead Ole Miss to a 45-30 victory on Thanksgiving Night. With Senior Night being celebrated at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, McAllister hooked up with fellow fourth-year Rebel Romaro Miller on a 20-yard halfback option TD toss. McAllister finished with 121 yards rushing on 24 carries, while Miller threw for 127 yards and ran for another 60. The win returned the Golden Egg to Oxford after a twoyear absence. 2003
1983 In one of the series’ most memorable battles, Ole Miss claimed a pulsating 24-23 victory over Mississippi State in Jackson, but it took some heroics on the part of the Rebels and a 40 miles-per-hour crosswind to decide the outcome. Down 17-0, Ole Miss got on the board when Timmy Moffett returned a punt 66 yards for a touchdown with 1:21 remaining in the first half. However, the Bulldogs added to their lead after the break, and the Rebels found themselves trailing 23-7 to start the fourth quarter. With the wind now at its back, Ole Miss utilized two fumble recoveries and an interception to take a late 24-23 advantage. But State made one last try and moved the ball to the Rebel 10 yardline with 24 seconds left. On fourth down, MSU kicker Artie Cosby attempted a 27-yard field goal, but as true as it was between the uprights, the ball never got there as the wind just slapped it down to give Ole Miss its first on-the-field winning season in eight years at 6-5 and a berth in the Independence Bowl. 1991 “The Battle of the Golden Egg” returned to campus in 1991 as Mississippi State hosted Ole Miss in Starkville. It marked the first on-campus meeting between the two teams since 1972. Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford was the site of the 1992 game, which Ole Miss won, 17-10 thanks to a thrilling goal-line stand. The series continues to rotate between campus sites. 1995 Ole Miss rode a school-record rushing performance and a stingy second-half deficit to a 13-10 victory over Mississippi State to regain the Egg Bowl Trophy. The win gave the Rebels a winning season and head coach

REBEL FOOTBALL 2009
Eli Manning passed for 260 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Rebels to a 31-0 shutout win in his final regular-season collegiate game. The Ole Miss defense held the Bulldogs to only 91 yards passing and picked off one Mississippi State pass in Jackie Sherrill’s final game as head coach on the rainy evening in Starkville. The win propelled the Rebels to the Cotton Bowl and their first 10 win season since 1971. The game was also the final of six straight Egg Bowls (1998-2003) played on Thanksgiving and televised nationally by ESPN. 2008 Jevan Snead threw for 213 yards and four touchdowns and Greg Hardy had three of Ole Miss’ schoolrecord 11 sacks, as the Rebels beat Mississippi State 45-0 in the most lopsided Egg Bowl in 37 years. The Rebels finished with a school-record minus-64 rushing yards allowed and 14 tackles for loss. Defensive end Hardy and tackle Peria Jerry led the charge. Jerry had four tackles for loss, including two sacks. Fellow tackle Jerrell Powe finished with 1 1/2 sacks, two tackles for loss and an interception. This year’s “Battle for the Golden Egg” will take place on Saturday, Nov. 28 at Davis-Wade Stadium in Starkville. Ole Miss has won five of the last seven battles. The match-up will be the 106th meeting between the two schools and the 82nd Egg Bowl.

REBELS’ BOWL SERIES RECORDS
HISTORY & RECORDS
OLE MISS BOWL HISTORY Ole Miss has a proud tradition of bowling that dates back to 1935, including what once was a national record of consecutive bowl appearances — from 1957 to 1972. It is a high standard of excellence which present-day Ole Miss football teams continue to strive for. Ed Walker coached the first Ole Miss bowl team, the high-scoring outfit of 1935 which out-played, but was nipped by Catholic University, 20-19, in the 1936 Orange Bowl. The next bowl for the Rebels was for the 1947 squad, a 12-year wait. But from there, with Coach John Howard Vaught at the Ole Miss helm, bowls came and kept coming after the Rebels following each season. Vaught took the Rebs to the ill-fated Delta Bowl in 1948, as the 1947 SEC Champions beat Texas Christian 13-9. Vaught had to wait until 1952 to go bowling again, but from that point forward, the Rebel mentor made post-season games a habit that was hard to break. All-in-all, the Rebels participated in six Sugar Bowls, two Gators, one Cotton, two Bluebonnets, two Liberties, one Sun and one Peach during that run of 15 straight. Vaught’s personal bowl record was 10-8, while Billy Kinard’s 1971 Rebels, with a 9-2 record, earned a bid to play Georgia Tech in the Peach Bowl, which produced a 41-18 triumph. Ole Miss dropped out of the bowl picture after that 1971 Peach Bowl appearance with Georgia Tech. When Billy Brewer became head coach prior to the 1983 season, the Rebels had not been bowling for 12 years. During Brewer’s 11 years as head coach, Ole Miss went to five bowls, twice to the Independence, twice to the Liberty, and once to the Gator. Brewer was 3-2 as a coach in bowl games. The Rebels returned to postseason action in 1997 for the first time since the 1992 Liberty Bowl, and for the first time under Tommy Tuberville, as Ole Miss was invited to the inaugural Ford Motor City Bowl in Pontiac, Mich. Played in front of a crowd of over 43,000 at the Pontiac Silverdome, freshman running back Deuce McAllister scored on a one-yard plunge with 31 seconds left to play to lift Ole Miss to a 34-31 win over the Marshall Thundering Herd in one of the most exciting bowl games of the 1997 postseason. The Rebels then followed with what was probably the biggest upset of the 1998 bowl season, as Ole Miss defeated heavily-favored Texas Tech, 35-18 in the Sanford Independence Bowl in head coach David Cutcliffe’s debut. Cutcliffe and Ole Miss returned to the Independence Bowl again in 1999, where it defeated Oklahoma 27-25, to win its third consecutive bowl game in three years. Ole Miss went to its fourth-straight bowl in 2000, but fell to West Virginia 49-38 in the Music City Bowl. Cutcliffe then went to 3-0 in the Independence Bowl in 2002 when the Rebels defeated Nebraska 27-23. He won his fourth bowl game with a 31-28 win over Oklahoma State in the Cotton Bowl. Ole Miss returned to the Coton Bowl in 2009 under first year head coach Houston Nutt, who lead the Rebels to a thrilling 47-34 victory over No. 8 Texas Tech.

In its inaugural bowl game, Ole Miss fell 20-19 to an opportunistic Catholic University squad from Washington, D.C., which at the time ranked as an Eastern power. The Rebels held a 15-7 advantage in first downs and outgained the Cardinal 265-172. However, Ole Miss was unable to overcome deficits of 13-0 and 19-7. Ray Hapes Catholic took a 7-0 lead after converting one of four Ole Miss picks on the day into a 51-yard scoring drive, capped by Bill Adamaitis’ two-yard touchdown run. The Cardinal increased its lead to 13-0 in the second quarter when Adamaitis connected with Speck Foley on a 48-yard touchdown pass. Ole Miss would pull to within seven at 13-6 before halftime when Ned Peters ran 67 yards for a score. The Rebels would hold Catholic without a first down in the second half; however, the Cardinal went up 20-7 by scoring a touchdown off a blocked punt. Ole Miss would get two fourth-quarter scores for the 20-19 final. Dave Bernard scored on a one-yard run to make it 20-12 after the PAT attempt failed, and Herb Baumstein found Buster Poole for a 24-yard touchdown pass.

Ole Miss recorded its first bowl victory with a 13-9 win over TCU in front of 28,120 at Memphis’ Crump Stadium in the 1948 Delta Bowl. Charlie Conerly passed for two fourth-quarter scores to rally the Rebels from a 9-0 deficit in his final game in an Ole Miss uniform. Conerly’s first touchdown pass was a 26-yarder to Joe Dixie Howell Johnson to cut the Horned Frog’s lead to 9-6. After a Bobby Wilson interception, Conerly hit Johnson for 52 yards to the TCU 13. Conerly then found Dixie Howell from 13 yards for a touchdown. Bobby Oswalt, who missed on his earlier PAT attempt, was accurate his second time around to make it 13-9. Red Buchanan then sealed the win with an interception at midfield to snuff out any TCU comeback attempt. OLE MISS TCU SCORING TCU — TCU — OM — OM —

Ole Miss 7 Florida 3 Jim Anderson’s one-yard touchdown run in the first quarter proved to be enough as Ole Miss knocked off Florida 7-3 on an overcast day in the 1958 Gator Bowl. The Rebels took the game’s opening kickoff and marched 70 yards for the game’s only touchdown. Florida would take the ensuing kickoff and score on Billy Booker’s Richard Price 27-yard field goal to make it 7-3 with 7:44 left in the first quarter. Neither team would score the rest of the game. The Gators had two opportunities to take the lead in the fourth quarter. A surprise quick kick by Florida’s Bobby Joe Green traveled 76 yards to just outside the Rebel 10 to start the final period. Milton Crain, looking for someone to block, stumbled over the ball, and Dave Hudson covered for the Gators. Florida would move to the two, but Richard Price stuffed a fourth-and-goal attempt for the Gators. After a short punt, the Gators took over at the Rebel 26 and advanced to the 15 before Bill Churchwell forced and recovered a fumble. The two teams would then exchange punts, however, Jimmy Dunn bobbled a Rebel punt at the Florida 48 and Ole Miss recovered. The Rebels then ran out the final 3:10 of the game.
A little over two months after Billy Cannon’s famous 89-yard punt return on Halloween night lifted LSU to a 7-3 win over Ole Miss in Baton Rouge, the second-ranked Rebels and third-ranked Tigers were rematched in the 1960 Sugar Bowl. This time, Ole Miss made sure there would be no heroics from Cannon. The Rebel defense limited Bobby Franklin the 1959 Heisman Trophy winner to eight yards on six carries. The Tigers managed just 74 yards total on the night and were a -15 in the rushing department. Ole Miss, led by Bobby Franklin’s two touchdown passes, totaled 363 yards of offense and rolled to a 21-0 victory. Franklin finished 10-of-15 passing for 148 yards and had touchdown passes of 18 yards to Larry Grantham and nine yards to George Blair in the second half. He would garner the game’s Outstanding Player honor. Ole Miss would finish the year 10-1 and was recognized as national champions by the Berryman, Billingsley, Dunkel and Sagarin ratings. The 1959 squad would also go on to earn “Team of the Decade” honors within the SEC by the Associated Press.

With the win, the Rebels finished the year 10-0-1, with the only blemish coming in the fashion of a 6-6 tie with LSU in October. Jake Gibbs scored both of Ole Miss’ touchdowns with runs of eight and three yards. Gibbs’ eight-yard scamper gave the Rebels a 7-0 lead Jim Anderson in the first quarter. The Owls used an 18-play, 77-yard scoring drive to make it 7-6 in the third. Butch Blaine completed the march with a two-yard run around the right end on fourth down. However, the PAT attempt failed, leaving the Rebels clinging to a one-point lead. Ole Miss iced the game in the fourth quarter behind the running of Jim Anderson. Anderson’s running helped set up Gibbs’ three-yard score with 5:16 left. Anderson finished the game with 59 yards rushing on 15 carries. Following the game, Ole Miss was awarded the national title by the Football Writer’s Association, and became the first SEC team to win the Grantland Rice Award. OLE MISS RICE

Later in the third quarter, the Rebels were stopped on fourth down at the Texas eight. Texas running back Chris Gilbert rushed for 156 yards on 26 carries, including a one-yard touchdown run to give the Longhorns a 12-0 lead in the third.

Ole Miss ended a 12-year drought with an appearance in the 1983 Independence Bowl. However, the Rebels return to the postseason wouldn’t be a succesful one as nationaly-ranked Air Force used three field goals from Sean Pavlich to forge a 9-3 win on a rainy evening in Shreveport, La. The Rebels held in check a powerful wishbone attack by the Falcons, one which averaged more Andre Townsend than 400 yards per game during the 1983 season. Ole Miss used a gallant goal line stand midway through the fourth quarter to stay within striking range. Pavlich gave Air Force a 6-0 lead with field goals of 44 and 39 yards. The Rebels got on the board just before halftime on a 39-yard field goal by Neil Teevan with four seconds remaining. Pavlich’s third field goal of the night, a 27-yarder with 7:59 left in the third quarter, marked the end of the scoring. Air FOrce held a 348-244 advantage in total offense and had a 37:13 edge in time of possession. Buford McGee rushed for 11 yards on 22 carries for the Rebels. The 1983 Independence Bowl marked Ole Miss’ first bowl appearance under head coach Billy Brewer. OLE MISS AIR FORCE SCORING AF — AF — OM — AF —

In a game billed to be an offensive shootout, Ole Miss outlasted Air Force 42-29 in the 31st annual Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tenn. Chucky Mullins, the defensive back who was paralyzed in an October 28, game with Vanderbilt, visited the Ole Miss locker room prior to the game in his first trip outside Baptist Memorial Hospital John Darnell in Memphis since the injury. The visit seemed to energize the Rebels as they raced to a 28-9 halftime lead. Liberty Bowl MVP Randy Baldwin rushed for 177 yards on 14 carries with two touchdowns, and John Darnell passed for 261 yards and a score. The two teams combined for 55 first downs and 1,046 yards of total offense. Ole Miss held a 30-25 advantage in first downs, and a 533-513 edge in total yards.

Sophomore quarterback Romaro Miller returned from a broken collarbone suffered three weeks earlier to pass for 216 yards and three touchdowns to lead Ole Miss to a 35-18 win over Texas Tech in the 1998 Independence Bowl. The game also marked the Rebel debut of head coach David Cutcliffe, who was hired less than a month before the game from his offensive Romaro Miller coordinator position at Tennessee. Miller completed 14-of-23 passes and was intercepted once. His three touchdown passes set a new Independence Bowl record, and he also garnered Offensive MVP honors. Junior defensive tackle Kendrick Clancy anchored an Ole Miss defense that limited the Red Raiders to 285 yards of total offense. Clancy would earn the bowl’s Defensive MVP honors. Sophomore running back Deuce McAlister scored three touchdowns on the evening. He scored on a 32-yard pass from Miller in the second quarter to give the Rebels a 14-7 lead. He later scored on a four-yard run to make it 28-10 and capped the scoring by returning an onside kick 48 yards with 38 seconds remaining. OLE MISS TEXAS TECH

Les Binkley’s 39-yard field goal as time expired lifted Ole Miss to a 27-25 win over Oklahoma, New Year’s Eve night in the 1999 Sanford Independence Bowl. The contest was the final college football game of the 20th century. The Sooners had taken a 25-24 lead with 2:17 left in the fourth quarter when Josh Heupel found Quenton Griffin for a 17-yard Les Binkley touchdown pass. Deuce McAllister would return the ensuing kickoff 42 yards to the Ole Miss 43. He then reeled off runs of eight and nine yards to move the Rebels into Sooner territory and helped set up Binkley’s game-winning field goal. McAllister finished with 239 all-purpose yards, including 121 yards rushing on 17 carries. He broke an 80-yard touchdown run in the second quarter to give the Rebels a 21-3 halftime lead.

Redshirt freshman quarterback Eli Manning came off the bench to throw three fourth-quarter touchdown passes, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a 49-9 deficit as Ole Miss fell 49-38 to West Virginia in the 2000 Music City Bowl. The game was the final one for Mountaineer head coach Don Nehlen’s 21-year career at the school. Leading 35-9 at the half, Shawn Terry returned the second half kickoff 99 yards to extend the West Eli Manning Virginia lead to 42-9. The Mountaineers then made it 49-9 on a 10-yard pass from Brad Lewis to Khori Ivy. Romaro Miller scored on a seven-yard run with 7:52 left in the third quarter to make it 49-16 before Manning would take over the offense. In the final 15 minutes, Manning threw touchdown passes of 23 yards to Jamie Armstrong, 18 yards to Omar Rayford and 16 yards to Toward Sanford. Manning’s three touchdown passes tied an Ole Miss bowl record. He finished 12-of-20 for 167 yards and was intercepted once.

Ole Miss 31 Oklahoma State 28 After a 42-year hiatus, the Rebels made a triumphant return to Dallas as 16th-ranked Ole Miss claimed a 31-28 win over 21stranked Oklahoma State in the 2004 playing of the SBC Cotton Bowl. Eli Manning led the charge for the Rebels as the senior quarterback and Heisman finalist passed for 259 yards and three touchdowns on his way to Offensive MVP honors as he rallied the Rebels Eli Manning from a 14-7 deficit in the second quarter. Manning finished the day 22-of-31 with one interception and two touchdown passes. Both teams traded punches early before Ole Miss drew first blood, scoring the first points of the game when Tremaine Turner took a 16 yard pass from Manning into the endzone at the 4:55 mark to give the Rebels a 7-0 lead after Jonathan Nichols connected on the PAT attempt. Oklahoma State struck right back, scoring on the next possession when Vernand Morency capped off a 69-yard drive with a four-yard touchdown run to tie the game with 1:17 to go in the first quarter. Oklahoma State took its first, and only, lead of the game as the Cowboys scored again early in the second quarter. Tatum Bell scampered into the endzone from three yards out to put the Cowboys up 14-7 after the successful PAT attempt from Luke Phillips at the 11:30 mark. The Rebels struck back quickly, though, tying the game on a 25-yard strike to Mike Espy from Manning to tie the game at 14 with 8:30 left in the first half. Ole Miss then took the lead for good when Nichols, the Lou Groza Award winner as the nation’s best kicker, split the uprights with a 33-yard field goal to give the Rebels a 17-14 halftime advantage. The Rebels came out after the break and continued to attack on the offensive side of the ball as Ole Miss increased the lead to 10 points when Tremaine Turner took the ball into the endzone on a two-yard run. The Ole Miss defense, led by Cotton Bowl Defensive MVP Josh Cooper, gave the Rebel offense the boost it needed, keeping the Cowboys out of the endzone and out of field goal range for the duration of the third quarter, and allowing Ole Miss the time it needed to build what would prove to be an insurmountable lead. Ole Miss extended its lead in the fourth quarter when Manning kept the ball on a one-yard run into the endzone to end a 97-yard drive that took 5:16 off the clock and gave the Rebels a 31-14 lead, the largest of the game for Ole Miss. The Cowboys weren’t done, though, as Oklahoma State charged right back at the Rebels, cutting into the lead with a scoring drive of its own that saw Morency take the ball into the endzone from one yard out to trim the Ole Miss lead to 10 points. Ole Miss was challenged once again, as the Cowboys mounted another drive, moving the ball 78 yards in 1:45 to cut the lead to three as Rashaun Woods took a 17-yard pass from Josh Fields into the endzone to pull Oklahoma State within three points at 31-28. Manning and the Ole Miss offense went to work in the final 4:38, closing out the game with a drive that started at the Ole Miss 20 yard line and ended when time expired with the Rebels at the Oklahoma State 15 yard line. With the victory, the Rebels celebrated the first Cotton Bowl appearance since 1962 with a win over a nationally ranked
program from the Big 12 and capped off the first 10-win season for the program since 1971 and improved the Rebels to a 2-1 record in the Cotton Bowl. OKLAHOMA STATE OLE MISS

2009 COTTON BOWL Ole Miss 47 Texas Tech 34 Ole Miss isn’t just the team that handed Florida its only loss. These Rebels are seriously on the rise. Behind Jevan Snead’s passing, Dexter McCluster’s squirming runs and some big returns by Marshay Green, No. 20 Ole Miss overcame an early deficit and beat No. 8 Texas Tech 47-34 Friday in the final Cotton Bowl played in the stadium of the same name. Jevan Snead The Red Raiders (11-2) converted a pair of early turnovers into a 14-0 lead, but Snead led the Rebels to touchdowns on their next three drives, followed by a go-ahead field goal shortly before halftime. Once Green returned an interception 65 yards for a touchdown early in the third quarter, Ole Miss (9-4) was well on its way to capping coach Houston Nutt’s first season in grand style. This was Ole Miss’ sixth straight win, matching its longest streak since 2003, when Eli Manning was a senior. That also was the last

time the Rebels had been to a bowl. This roll began when Ole Miss was only 3-4 and coming off consecutive losses following its stunning upset at the Swamp. Although Texas Tech pulled off huge comebacks in its last two bowls, McCluster ended any such thoughts by barreling into the end zone with 4:34 left. When Rebels fans finished clapping, they began chanting ``S-E-C! S-E-C!’’ They did so again with 1:37 left after Ole Miss snuffed out a 2-point conversion attempt, then again following a recovered onside kick. A little louder and the chants might’ve been heard at the Big 12 offices about 12 miles away. Still, the message that the fourth-best team in the SEC, according to the polls, is better than the third-best team in the Big 12 will certainly be noted as schools from these leagues - No. 1 Florida and No. 2 Oklahoma - meet next week in the national championship game. The Red Raiders had a direct path to playing in that game until getting crushed by the Sooners in late November. At the time, they were unbeaten and ranked second, the highest mark in school history. Getting drubbed in two of the last three games takes some shine off Tech’s season, and kept senior quarterback Graham Harrell from going out with the school’s record-setting 12th win. Harrell’s consolation was several statistical feats: most career touchdowns in major college football (four in this game made it 134 for his career, breaking the record of 131 set by Hawaii’s Colt Brennan) and first player with two 5,000-yard passing seasons. Harrell was 36-of-58 for a Cotton Bowl-record 364 yards, giving him 5,111 yards this season. Only five other quarterbacks have cracked 5,000, including Brennan and two others from Texas Tech. This was the 73rd Cotton Bowl and the last in its namesake home.

NOTE: The overall record for each season includes bowl victories. However, the total points for each year through 2001 includes only regular-season contests. For the years the Rebels played in a bowl game prior to 2002, the points are not included because the NCAA did not count bowl game statistics.

THE GROVE When Billy Brewer became head football coach at Ole Miss in 1983, he was searching for a way to allow his team to experience the atmosphere and pageantry Rebel fans enjoyed in The Grove while tailgating on gameday. The Grove is a 10-acre grassy plot of ground in the center of campus which is heavily shaded by large oak trees. Taking a different route two hours before kickoff each home game Saturday, Brewer would walk with the team from Kinard Hall, the athletic dormitory, across campus to VaughtHemingway Stadium. In 1985, Brewer started going the same route each Saturday as the team would break The Grove on the east side of the Student Union and proceed down a sidewalk that runs through The Grove. Ole Miss fans fight for position on both sides of the sidewalk and greet the players with loud cheers. The braver fans even reach out and touch the players as they pass before them. In the fall of 1998, a “Walk of Champions” arch was erected on the east side of The Grove, where the Rebel players begin their walk for every Saturday home game. The “Walk of Champions” arch was given to the University by the 1962 Rebel football team, which is the only squad in Ole Miss football history to finish a campaign with a perfect record (10-0). The 1962 team won the SEC title and was also named National Champion by the Litkenhous Widely recognized as one of the best tailgating experiences in the country, The Grove has been featured in such publications as The New York Times, Sports Illustrated and Ratings.

The Grove and Ole Miss produce one of the most unique college football experiences in the South and nationwide.

It was suggested by the late Miss Elma Meek of Oxford. Each succeeding issue of the annual has been given this copyrighted identity. The name gradually became synonymous with the University and is now a treasured segment of University history. The late Frank E. Everett, Jr., B.A. ’32, LLB ’34, put it best when he wrote: The name REBELS as Ole Miss’ official athletic nickname emerged in 1936. Suggested by Judge Ben Guider of Vicksburg, it was one of five entries submitted to Southern sports There is a valid distinction between The University and Ole writers for final selection from a list totaling more than 200 proposed nicknames.

The University is respected, but Ole Miss is loved. The University gives a diploma and regretfully terminates tenure, but one never graduates from Ole Miss.
In 1893, when Ole Miss’ first football team was in training for a five-game season, Dr. A.L. Bondurant, organizer and manager-coach, later recalled that “the team had much discussion as to the colors that should be adopted, but it was finally suggested by the manager that the union of the Crimson of Harvard and the Navy Blue of Yale would be very harmonious, and that it was well to have the spirit of both of these good colleges.” These were adopted as the football colors, and have since been adopted by the University as its athletic colors. The PMS numbers for the Ole Miss red and blue are as follows: Red 186, Blue 281.

Way down south in Mississippi There’s a spot that ever calls Where among the hills enfolded Stand ole Alma Mater’s halls Where the trees lift high their branches To the whisp’ring southern breeze There Ole Miss is calling, calling To our hearts’ fond memories. With united hearts we praise thee, All our loyalty in thine, And we hail thee, Alma Mater, May thy light forever shine; May it brighter grow and brighter And with deep affection true, Our thoughts shall ever cluster ‘round thee, Dear old Red and Blue. May thy fame throughout the nation, Thru thy sons and daughters grow, May thy name forever waken, In our hearts a tender glow, May thy counsel and thy spirit Ever keep us one in this, That our own shall be thine honor, Now and ever, dear Ole Miss.

By Tobie Baker Media & Public Relations Ole Miss football standout Charlie Conerly was an unassuming man – never one to blow his own horn. He rarely celebrated after scoring a touchdown. He would simply hand the ball to the referee and trot to the sideline. “Charlie was a shy man,” said New York Giants teammate Frank Gifford. “He didn’t want to stand out. He didn’t even like trophies. He was very sensitive about receiving praise.” Off the field, Conerly also remained reserved. Perian Conerly said that her late husband wouldn’t understand why the Charlie Conerly Memorial Athletic Scholarship at the University of Mississippi was named in his honor, but he would be thrilled about the opportunity the scholarship provided. “Charlie never would have gone to college without his football scholarship at Ole Miss,” she said. “That opportunity changed his life.” One of the greatest football players ever to wear an Ole Miss uniform and a beloved alumnus, Conerly will be remembered for generations to come through the Charlie Conerly Memorial Athletic Scholarship. The $100,000 endowment was set up by his wife for deserving student-athletes. “The endowment is a widow’s mite when compared to other donations, but it’s a very important scholarship for future players,” she said. A Clarksdale, Miss., native, Conerly passed away Feb. 13, 1996, after a lengthy illness. Affectionately known as Chunkin’ Charlie, the former quarterback thrilled Ole Miss
is open to all Mississippi players, regardless of school size or position. The original bronze sculpture is permanently housed in the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum in Jackson, and a replica is on display at Ole Miss in Hollingsworth-Manning Hall, the school's athletics memorabilia area located on the second floor of the Michael S. Starnes Athletic Training Center. To learn more about the endowment, including details about making a tax-deductible contribution, contact the University of Mississippi Foundation at 1-800-340-9542.
fans as he led the Rebels to their first Southeastern Conference Championship in 1947 and a victory over Texas Christian University in the Delta Bowl. Conerly earned three letters at Ole Miss, playing in 1942, 1946 and 1947, earning All-America honors his senior season and All-SEC accolades twice. He interrupted his undergraduate career to serve with the U.S. Marines in World War II. After graduation, Conerly joined the NFL’s New York Giants, leading them to the 1956 NFL Championship. He was named 1948 NFL Rookie of the Year and the League’s Most Valuable Player in 1959. Conerly ended his career in 1961 with 1,418 career completions, including 173 touchdown passes. His Giants number 42 was retired in 1962. “Charlie had an incredible arm and a great feel for the game,” said Gifford. “He was a tremendous athlete, and by the end of his career, he was a sports hero for New York.” Perian Conerly authored “Backseat Quarterback” (Doubleday 1963), detailing the couple's experiences during his professional football years. After retiring, Conerly and his wife returned to Mississippi, and they often traveled to Oxford on football weekends. Conerly’s honors include induction into the National College Football Hall of Fame, Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame, Ole Miss Alumni Hall of Fame, and Ole Miss Athletic Hall of Fame. He also received the Distinguished American Award from the Ole Miss Chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame and was selected by Rebel fans as a back on the Ole Miss Football Team of the Century. As a college player, Conerly was also named the Atlanta Touchdown Club’s SEC Back of the Year and the Nashville Banner's SEC Player of the Year. A prestigious trophy named in his honor, the Cellular South Conerly Trophy, is awarded annually to Mississippi’s most outstanding collegiate football player. Designed to be the Mississippi equivalent of the Heisman Trophy, the award

J.W. “WOBBLE” DAVIDSON SCHOLARSHIP
JOEY EMBRY MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
It’s a funny thing about sports and nicknames. They seem to go hand-in-hand. Whether it’s quarterbacks named “Easy” or linemen named “Slim”, a nickname follows you for the rest of your life. Such was the case with J.W. “Wobble” Davidson. Never one to let the spotlight hit him, Davidson spent three years playing left end for Ole Miss, before returning to his alma mater as an assistant coach. He gave up the idea of playing pro football to enter the Marine Corps to fight in World War II. He never thought twice about it. He never even left Oxford, returning after the war to spend his days at the place he called home. Davidson’s love for Oxford and his alma mater proved just as greatly in his family life as it did in his professional life. A proud father of two, Wobble, his wife Sara, son Don and daughter Debra all attended Ole Miss. Davidson spent 11 years as head tennis coach and 23 years as the M-Club Advisor, mentoring student-athletes into productive members of society. He and his family even lived in the athletic dorms on campus. It was his love for Ole Miss that the J.W. “Wobble” Davidson Scholarship fund was established. Given to the children of former Ole Miss letterwinners, the scholarship helps make sure that those who love the University as much as Wobble will always have the opportunity for their children to attend Ole Miss. Davidson graduated from Ole Miss in 1942, earning three letters in football, three in track and two in basketball for the Rebels. A member of Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and the Ole Miss Sports Hall of Fame, Davidson also earned his master's degree from Ole Miss. To learn more about the J.W. “Wobble” Davidson Scholarship Fund, including details about making a tax-deductible contribution, contact Clay Cavett at the UM Alumni Office at 662-9157375.
During football camps under sun-drenched skies on the Oxford campus, Joey Embry decided he wanted to be an Ole Miss Rebel. In 1995, at the end of his stellar prep career at Bruce (Miss.) High School, the scholarship offer came. Embry was a member of the Rebel football team for two years before his tragic death on May 19, 1998, when he drowned just months before he was expected to be a major contributor on the offensive line. His Rebel teammates dedicated the 1998 season to his memory and wore Embry’s name and number on their helmets. Family and friends are keeping his spirit alive through the Joey Embry Memorial Scholarship Fund, established to help student-athletes at The University of Mississippi. “I think Joey would be really proud of the scholarship fund,” said his mother, Gwen Embry, “not because it is honoring him, but because it will help so many other students.” Embry’s roommate and fellow teammate Bobby Killion, a former Ole Miss center, said, “Joey touched the lives of so many people while having an influence on those who came in contact with him. He was a great man and is missed by a lot of people. I know I’ll miss him for the rest of my life.” Embry left a strong impression on the Ole Miss community, providing leadership both on and off the playing field. As a business administration major, he excelled academically, making the UMAA Honor Roll and the SEC Academic Honor Roll. He also was active in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). In addition to the scholarship fund, Weyerhaeuser Co. donated equipment to Ole Miss’ Starnes Athletic Training Center in memory of the Ole Miss football player. Individuals and organizations can contribute to the Joey Embry Memorial Scholarship Fund through The University of Mississippi Foundation, P.O.

LARRY L. JOHNSON SCHOLARSHIP
WESLEY WALLS SCHOLARSHIP
Larry L. Johnson of Jackson wants to help young men benefit from the same opportunity in life he received: a football scholarship to the University of Mississippi that enabled him to participate in the sport he loved while pursuing degrees for a successful career. The retired BellSouth executive - whose football career at Forest High School in Scott County captured the attention of UM coaches - has established a scholarship endowment with more than $100,000. The first in his family to attend college, Johnson received an athletics scholarship that allowed him to earn two business degrees and play wingback and outside linebacker on three championship football teams (1961, ‘62 and ‘63). Desiring to give back to his college and home community, Johnson’s scholarship agreement stipulates that preference should be given to Scott County football signees when possible. Known to the Ole Miss family as “Larry Leo,” Johnson has been active in the M-Club alumni chapter for athletes. He served on the M-Club's board of directors and has organized and directed many team reunions. As Student M-Club president in 1963, Johnson helped establish the J.W. Davidson Scholarship fund to honor the legendary Ole Miss coach and has been a regular contributor since that time. He also is a UMAA Foundation member. He holds undergraduate and master's degrees in business and is past chair of the Business Advisory Board at the UM School of Business Administration. He is a major contributor to the Business Order and has also guest lectured under the business school's Otho Smith Fellows Program. An active civic leader in Jackson, Johnson continues to give of his time and resources in the community in many areas since retiring from BellSouth in 2000 after 33 years as an executive with the company. Both of Johnson's sons, Rick and Scott, graduated from Ole Miss. Larry and his wife, Rita Parks Johnson, live in Madison, and they have a blended family of five, with multiple grandchildren.
Former Ole Miss All-America tight end Wesley Walls of Pontotoc, Miss., and his wife, Christy, have endowed a football scholarship at Ole Miss. The $100,000 gift is used to provide a football scholarship to any Ole Miss signee from Pontotoc County. Walls, a five-time Pro Bowler with the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League, enjoyed a 14-year NFL career, playing with San Francisco and New Orleans prior to joining the Panthers. He retired in 2004 after one season with the Green Bay Packers. “I received so much from Ole Miss, not only an education and a chance to play college football, but also as a person,” Walls said. “I met my wife here and we truly love Ole Miss and her people. This scholarship represents a way to come back and help Pontotoc County. There are a lot of good athletes over there. At Ole Miss, Walls earned four letters and excelled both on the field and in the classroom. He came to Oxford in 1985 as a defensive end, but also played tight end his senior campaign when he became one of the nation’s few two-way players in 1988. Following his senior year, Walls was selected first team All-America at tight end by the Associated Press. He was also a first team All-Southeastern Conference pick, was selected Mississippi’s Amateur Athlete of the Year and was chosen as one of three permanent Ole Miss team captains. Off the field, Walls compiled a 3.41 GPA in General Engineering, earned Academic AllAmerica honors, was a three-time Academic All-SEC pick, was selected Colonel Rebel at Ole Miss, was named to the University of Mississippi Hall of Fame and received an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. He was selected as one of 11 National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame Scholar-Athletes and was chosen to give the response at the awards dinner in New York City. Walls finished his NFL career with 450 catches for 5,291 yards and 54 touchdowns. Upon his retirement, he was considered one of the premier tight ends in the game.

On the southeast side of the University of Mississippi campus stands historic Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, a landmark of Ole Miss tradition and an anchor for the strong future of Rebel football. Among the newest upgrades to the facility was a new $6 million integrated system featuring a large high definition video display that was installed at the open of the 2008 season. The Daktronics video display is one of the largest true high definition display in the Southeastern Conference. A new sound system rounded out the stadium’s newest upgrades. The stadium increased its capacity to 60,580 in 2002 with the bowling in of the south end zone, making it the largest facility in the state. With the additional seating, the Rebels have set record-breaking attendance figures over the last seven years, drawing all 10 of the largest single-game crowds in school history. The momentous Ole Miss-LSU encounter in 2003 attracted a crowd of 62,552, the largest ever to watch a football game on campus in Mississippi. The Rebels’ matchup with Tennessee in 2004 gathered 62,028 fans, and the incredible upset of No. 6 Florida in 2002 drew 61,140. Vaught-Hemingway received another upgrade in the summer of 2003, as AstroPlay synthetic grass was installed on the stadium’s playing surface (surface had been natural grass since 1984, Astroturf from 1970-84). The state-of-the-art turf provides a safer surface, is virtually maintenance free and boasts a life-span of up to 20 years. AstroPlay has been used by Illinois, Oklahoma State, Kansas and the NFL’s Buffalo Bills. The stadium, known as Hemingway Stadium for much of its existence, began its long historic life in 1915 when students at the University helped in the construction of the first football grandstand at the site of the present field. The construction of the stadium and its permanent foundation was a three-year, federally-sponsored project.
Stadium capacity was originally listed at 24,000. During the summer of 1988, the stadium received a major facelift, highlighted by a new press box, new aluminum sideline seating and a club level section for 700 people. Renovations continued in the summer of 1990 when lights were added to the stadium. A Sony JumboTron scoreboard/message center was added for the 1997 season. In 1998, the Guy C. Billups Rebel Club Seating area was completed, placing an upper deck on the east side of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The addition, which includes a special seating section with an enclosed concession and lounge area, pushed capacity to over 50,000. The stadium is named for Coach John the late Judge William Hemingway Vaught
(1869-1937), professor of law and longtime chairman of the University’s Committee on Athletics. On Oct. 16, 1982, John Howard Vaught saw his name added to the stadium. Vaught compiled a 190-61-12 record as head football coach at Ole Miss and brought the Rebels National Championships in 1959, 1960 and 1962. At the 1998 season opener vs. Memphis, the field was named in honor of Dr. Jerry Hollingsworth for his continuing generous support to Ole Miss athletics.

INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY Among the finest facilities in all of college athletics, the Ole Miss Indoor Practice Facility is the crown jewel in the growing athletics compound surrounding Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. “With the addition of this magnificent indoor facility, we find that Ole Miss athletes and coaches have the opportunity to practice and play games in state-of-the-art facilities, on the finest fields and courts,” Chancellor Robert C. Khayat said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Nov. 22, 2004. “They are in a position of being nationally competitive. As we look forward to finding out what is going to happen in athletics at this university and with the university in general, we can move forward knowing that we have provided the infrastructure and facilities that needed to be provided.” Located beside the South End Zone of VaughtHemingway Stadium, the Rebels moved into the spectacular $18 million multi-purpose structure in fall 2004.
The 150,000-square-foot enclosure is a result of UM's Commitment to Excellence in Athletics Campaign, a $35 million initiative to upgrade the university's athletics programs. In addition to the IPF, the campaign has also resulted in a recently built golf facility, renovations to C.M. "Tad" Smith Coliseum and a recently constructed track and field complex, which sits just south of the IPF. Also, an endowment has been created to fund scholarships and maintain the new facilities. Numerous Rebel supporters contributed financially to the construction of the indoor practice facility, including legendary Rebel quarterback Archie Manning. In May 2004, former Ole Miss running back Deuce McAllister donated $1 million toward the building of the facility. The architects of the facility were Ferguson & Associates of Jackson.

FedEx Corporation announced on April 14, 2005, a $2.5 million gift over five years to the University of Mississippi to create an academic support center for student-athletes. In May 2007, the vision became reality as the FedEx Student-Athlete Academic Support Center opened its doors to Rebel athletes. The center provides state-of-the-art computer facilities and space for study halls and tutoring for men and women student-athletes, as well as additional classrooms for all students. “FedEx has always been a strong supporter of educational initiatives at all levels,” said Mike Glenn, executive vice president, marketing development and corporate communications. “This contribution to the University of Mississippi is an extension of our commitment to helping improve the academic resources available to students, and student-athletes in particular.” Glenn said FedEx and Ole Miss are committed to providing a strong academic foundation to enable students to reach their full potential.
The money has been used to renovate a portion of the Starnes Athletic Center—which formerly housed football locker rooms, a weight room and training facilities—next to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on All-American Drive. The 22,500-square-foot building now houses the Office of Student-Athlete Academic Support, including offices, conference rooms, 20 large and small group tutoring rooms, a large study area, a multi-media classroom, computer lab and 150-seat high-tech auditorium. The project was completed in May 2007 with an approximate cost of $5 million. In accepting the FedEx gift, university officials said the new center provides an important link in the university’s goal to compete at the highest level in every aspect of its intercollegiate programs. “American public universities are the best in the world largely because of the generosity of American corporations,” said then-UM Chancellor Robert Khayat. “FedEx sets the standard for philanthropy by which others are measured. In this case, Ole Miss student-athletes are the primary beneficiaries, but all our students will benefit and, as a result, our
entire state benefits.” Athletics Director Pete Boone said the FedEx Academic Support Center plays a valuable role in preparing studentathletes for success after their collegiate playing days are concluded. “In recruiting, we make a commitment to young men and women and their parents. We promise to provide a positive environment of support to help them achieve their maximum potential in their academic and athletic pursuits,” said Boone. “The FedEx Academic Support Center enables Ole Miss to go beyond that promise. The Center’s front-line technology and classroom environment provide our studentathletes one of the best learning environments in the country.” In addition to its latest gift to the university, FedEx supports several endowed scholarship programs, the Whitten Chair in Law, the Lott Leadership Institute, the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation and William Faulkner’s historic home, Rowan Oak.

FEDEX ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER
STARNES ATHLETIC TRAINING CENTER Every aspect of Ole Miss Athletics is geared toward the success of its student-athletes. The Michael S. Starnes Athletic Training Center provides a valuable role in the development and display of that success. The multi-purpose Starnes Center has undergone many transformations through the years. It currently houses Ole Miss Sports Medicine, FCA and CHAMPS Life Skills headquarters and includes a 10,000-square-foot weight room and a sizeable memorabilia collection. Formerly the Doc Knight Field House, the Training Center stands just north of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and within walking distance of Tad Smith Coliseum, Swayze Field and the main athletics office complex. The primary training room on the Ole Miss campus is used by several Rebel sports. The training area has four offices for the athletic training staff, room for at least 13 treatment tables, six taping stations and countless rehabilitation equipment. It also contains a wet room with a whirlpool that help make up an environment for top-notch care and injury prevention for Rebel athletes.
The facility extends to the east into a similar structure which holds a massive weight room, a lobby, conference room and offices. Connected to the west end is the FedEx Academic Support Center, a state-of-the-art complex opened in May 2007. Starnes, the building’s benefactor, donated $1 million toward the facility as part of an extensive $2.5 million renovation in 1995. A 1968 Ole Miss graduate, Starnes is president of Tennessee California Express, Inc., a transportation company. Much of the history and the many accolades of Rebel athletics are displayed in two rooms on the second floor of the Starnes Center that make up Hollingsworth-Manning Hall. The larger room is divided into four zones, with the North Wing reserved to honor the nine Ole Miss Rebels in the College Football Hall of Fame. The East Wing spotlights the 42 Ole Miss first-team All-Americans as well as Hall of Fame Coach John Vaught and the legacy of Chucky Mullins. The West Wing is reserved for baseball, track, tennis and golf

All-Americans as well as Bruiser Kinard, the only player in Ole Miss history inducted into the College and Professional Football Halls of Fame. The South Zone honors Ole Miss All-Americans in men's and women's basketball as well as C. M. "Tad" Smith, who played and coached at Ole Miss and also served as Athletics Director. The smaller room of Hollingsworth-Manning Hall is devoted entirely to an impressive memorabilia collection from the family of Ole Miss legend Archie Manning, which includes items of all three sons, Cooper, Peyton and Eli. The focal point of the exhibit are Super Bowl MVP photos of both Peyton and Eli hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. Dr. Jerry Hollingsworth, an Ole Miss alumnus and general practitioner in Ft. Walton Beach, Fla., joined forces with former Rebel quarterback Archie Manning to establish the recruitment/memorabilia center. It is faithfully maintained and updated by Langston Rogers, Senior Associate Athletics Director for Media Relations.

OBJECTIVE: The primary objective for the University of Mississippi Strength and Conditioning program is to help each athlete be the best they can be. In order to reach this goal, there are several components that must be addressed. There are general needs such as speed, power, agility and strength that must be met for each athlete. But in further development, functional training is used to meet the athletes specific needs based on their sport and position. Lastly, there is a mental component that helps the athlete prepare for the demands that will be placed on them during competition. Ole Miss athletes use a wide variety of training methods, from Olympic-style lifting, to high intensity machine training, to the use of chains, tires and sandbags, all combining together to help each athlete be their best. There are no greater facilities at which to train athletes than the majestic Indoor Practice Facility. When entering the IPF’s 10,000-square-foot weight room, the Ole Miss players are

quickly reminded of the championship philosophy that head football strength coach Don Decker and the Rebel staff set forth. The facility, which is entering its fifth year of existence, is enhanced with visual messages and houses state-of-the-art training equipment. Besides the hundreds of weights, the room also contains a variety of Hammer Strength machines, numerous Life Fitness cardiovascular machines and a fully-stocked nutrition counter. With the IPF’s full-sized indoor practice field, the Rebels’ extensive workouts touch on every area of fitness and conditioning and prepare their bodies fully for intense SEC battles. As a staff we are always trying to improve our program to give our student-athletes an edge in performance. WE'RE EITHER GETTING BETTER OR GETTING WORSE, WE NEVER STAY THE SAME.

OLE MISS SPORTS MEDICINE Prevention. Treatment. Rehabilitation. Education. Those are the four primary phases of athletic training, and the Ole Miss Sports Medicine staff strives to fulfill all four areas when working with the student-athletes on a daily basis. “Our Athletic Trainers are allied healthcare professionals and we strive to provide quality healthcare based on the latest in medical research,” said Shannon Singletary, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Sports Medicine/Strength & Conditioning. “By doing this we hope to not only provide our athletes with a better chance of winning on the field, but also give them an opportunity to lead a healthy lifestyle.” Ole Miss student-athletes are offered the best care possible by the Sports Medicine staff that includes nine full-time athletic trainers, five graduate assistants and several student assistants. The staff serves the student-athletes nearly around-the-clock and at numerous facilities on campus. The Athletic Trainers begin treatments and rehabilitation as early as 6:30 a.m. and are available until the last student-athlete is through. There are currently five athletic training facilities on campus. The staff treats out of two primary athletic training rooms, in the Indoor

The IPF and Starnes Center training rooms are stocked with equipment such as stationary bikes, hand weights, therapeutic modalities, and recent technology like underwater treadmills and Biodex testing equipment. Each component is strategically designed to not only give the student-athletes the best care, but also to aid in returning them to competition as quickly and safely as possible. Singletary, though, said the emphasis is on the student-athlete's health, first and foremost. Ole Miss Sports Medicine has strong working relationships with local physicians and Baptist Memorial Hospital, located less than five minutes from the campus. In addition, specialists from the University's Medical Center are often consulted.

TEAM SUPPORT
STUDENT-ATHLETE ACADEMIC SUPPORT Ole Miss student-athletes not only have the opportunity to play in one of the best conferences in the nation, they also attend a university that is world-renowned for its academics. Under Karen Schiferl, the Senior Associate Athletics Director for Academic Support, the Office of Student-Athlete Academic Support has made great strides in improving the environment for Ole Miss student-athletes. Schiferl is assisted by an associate director, two assistant directors, three full-time academic counselors, four learning specialists and numerous tutors and academic mentors. The mission of the Office of Student-Athlete Academic Support is to provide quality developmental and need-based programs to help student-athletes become independent and self-reliant learners. In an environment that promotes student development, the staff provides support for all student-athletes from the time they arrive on campus through graduation. The staff provides resources, experience and knowledge empowering each student-athlete to

reach his/her academic, career and personal potential. The OSAAS staff pursues this mission by promoting academic success with integrity, strict adherence to university, SEC and NCAA rules, and a dedication to excellence. Ole Miss has a long history of academic success among its football players, ranking first among Southern schools in Academic All-America selections and second in total football academic award recipients. Last year, Ole Miss football had more than its share of studentathletes named to the school’s various academic honor rolls, while placing 16 players on the Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll. In 2005, Rebel linebacker and captain Rob Robertson was named the H. Boyd McWhorter SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Robertson and punter Cody Ridgeway also took home Academic All-America first team accolades, giving the Rebel football program 24 selections in its storied history. In 2001, Eli Manning nabbed Academic All-America second team honors, and in 2003, he was one of 15 student-athletes selected nationally as National Football Foundation Scholar-Athletes. Manning was also selected to the 2004 NCAA Today’s Top VIII. Over the last six years, the Rebel program has had a pair of players inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s oldest and most prestigious undergraduate honors organization — Chad Pilcher in 2004, and Ben Boatright in 2003. Among all sports, Ole Miss has had 118 student-athletes named to the SEC Academic Honor Rolls over the past year. With Ole Miss athletics taking its place amongst the best in the nation, the Student-Athlete Academic Support staff hopes that Rebel graduates of today have a great impact in the future of tomorrow.
REBEL READY Rebel Ready - CHAMPS Life Skills is a well-rounded program for student-athletes to develop individual skills necessary to lead successful lives and become leaders for our communities and nation. The program consists of these five vital components: • The Commitment to Academic Excellence is promoted through a full range of services that include orientation, advising, tutoring, academic skills training and the recognition of academic excellence. • The Commitment to Athletic Excellence is developed by the department’s 10 women and eight men intercollegiate sports teams. The sponsorship is based on equity and compliance to all University, NCAA and Southeastern Conference rules and regulations.
• The Commitment to Career Development is a joint effort of the Ole Miss Athletic Department and Career Center. The goal is to prepare student-athletes for their transition out of sports and into the career development process. Career development components of the program include special workshops and programs for student-athletes and a senior resume brochure. • The Commitment to Personal Development is promoted through life skills and personal development seminars and sponsorship of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. • The Commitment to Service is promoted—in conjunction with the University Counseling Center—through many community service projects throughout the year. The Ole Miss student-athletes are very involved in the community and the community service program continues to grow.
NCAA COMPLIANCE Who Is A Prospect?
A prospective student-athlete is defined as an athlete who has begun classes for the ninth grade. However, it is possible for a younger student to be considered a prospect if the institution (or a representative of its athletic interests) provides the student (or family member) benefits not provided to prospects generally.
tion for dates. There is no limit to the number of times a prospect may visit a campus at his/her own expense. Prospects may receive an expense paid visit ("official visit") only after they have begun classes for their senior year and have registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center and submitted transcripts and test scores to the institution. Prospects are limited to a maximum of five official visits with no more than one per institution.
Who May Contact a Prospect During the Recruiting Process?

PETE BOONE | ATHLETICS DIRECTOR
From an early age, Dr. Daniel W. Jones knew his career aspirations revolved around medicine and leadership. And while a physician leading a comprehensive university isn’t a common arrangement, Jones’ appointment as the 16th chancellor of the University of Mississippi is no surprise to anyone familiar with his record of leadership and achievements at the UM Medical Center in Jackson and the American Heart Association. Jones became chancellor on July 1 and oversees the campuses in Oxford, Jackson, Southaven, Tupelo and Grenada. Vice chancellor for health affairs and dean of the School of Medicine since 2003, Jones served as the Medical Center’s chief executive officer, overseeing five schools and the health system. Under his leadership, UMMC restructured its clinical enterprise to create a more agile, market-responsive organization focused on quality, efficiency and clinical leadership. The work resulted in a turnaround in financial performance and selection as one of the Thomson Top 100 Hospitals in America. Jones’ leadership team also expanded the Medical Center’s commitment to minority scholarships, rural medicine and the elimination of health disparities. Enrollment of underrepresented medical students increased 80 percent in five years. They also led a campaign that raised $53 million, expanded the medical school’s class size from 100 students to 120 students per class and reorganized the medical faculty clinical practice plan from 17 individual practice groups to a single, unified one, facilitating more efficient management and improved patient care. Under his watch, the Medical Center’s research enterprise has been reinvigorated with completion of the Arthur C. Guyton Research Center, acquisition of funding for a research park and increased research funding. A native Mississippian, Jones graduated from Mississippi College in 1971, earned his M.D. in 1975 at UMMC and completed his residency in internal medicine there in 1978. He had a private practice in Laurel, then went to Korea as a medical missionary in 1985. He returned to the UM Medical Center as a faculty member in 1992 and was named the school’s Herbert G. Langford Professor of Medicine in 1998. He directed the hypertension division and led many clinical studies funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of health. He played a crucial role in the acquisition of funding from NHLBI to create the Jackson Heart Study and was its first principal investigator. As the only large scale study of cardiovascular risk factors in African-Americans, Jones had to overcome the understandable reluctance of African Americans to participate in research and to build consensus among the three participating institutions - Jackson State University, Tougaloo College and UMMC. Neither had ever collaborated in such a massive undertaking. The new chancellor began volunteering for the American Heart Association 20 years ago and became its national president in 2007-2008. He was one of the early voices in AHA leadership to call attention to the growing problem of childhood obesity and heart disease in women. He was AHA’s national spokesperson on high blood pressure. Jones is married to Lydia Channell Jones, also a Mississippi College graduate. They have two children, Jennifer Jones Flechas of Oxford and Jason Jones of Clinton.
In his 11 years as the University of Mississippi’s Director of Athletics, Pete Boone has overseen dramatic facility improvements across the athletics department, allowing Ole Miss student-athletes and teams to compete at the highest levels in the nation’s most competitive conference. Now in his 12th year, Boone works with a budget of more than $45 million, compared to the $10-million budget he oversaw when he first took over the position in 1995. Boone’s personal relationship with Ole Miss runs deep, beginning in 1968 when the Grenada, Miss., native first stepped on the Oxford campus as a center on the Rebel football team, playing first for legendary coach John Vaught and then coach Billy Kinard as he earned three letters (1970-72). During Boone’s 11 years as Director of Athletics, Ole Miss has experienced continued growth from adding sports to his overseeing in excess of $125 million in athletics improvements. A number of projects are currently in the final planning stages or recently completed as Ole Miss continues to meet the challenges of the 21st century both on and off the field of competition. The athletics department moved into its new athletics administration building on All-American Drive in October of 2007, and construction of a $13 million basketball practice complex for both the men’s and women’s programs will be completed in December 2009. One project completed in 2009 was the ongoing renovation of Oxford-University Stadium, home of the 2009 Southeastern Conference Champion Rebels, which played host to NCAA Baseball Championship Oxford Regional and Super Regional. The 2009 Oxford Regional drew 54,984 fans, and the Super Regional was the most attended Super Regional in the nation with 29,646 fans coming to O-U Stadium/Swayze Field for the three games against Virginia. It also boasted the highest average attendance with 9,882 fans per game. The Rebels have now hosted four of the top 10 crowds for a Super Regional held at an on-campus facility in NCAA history. Prior to the recent expansion, which increased seating capacity to over 10,000, Ole Miss hosted the 2005 and 2006 Oxford Regional and Super Regional, as well as the 2004 and 2007 Oxford Regional. In addition, a new office suite in front of the stadium was completed in the spring of 2007 that houses the Rebel coaches and support staff. May of 2007 saw the opening of the FedEx Student-Athlete Academic Support Center, a 22,500- square-foot facility located next to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. With an approximate cost of $5 million, which included a major gift from The FedEx Corporation, the center houses the Office of Student-Athlete Academic Support and provides state-of-the-art computer facilities and space for study halls and tutoring for men and women student-athletes as well as additional classrooms for all students. Under Boone’s watch, the athletics department remains committed to young men and women student-athletes and their parents, promising to provide a positive environment of support to help them achieve their maximum potential in their academic and athletic pursuits. The FedEx StudentAthlete Academic Support Center’s front-line technology and classroom environment provide Ole Miss student-athletes one of the best learning environments in the country. Another project which generated the excitement of Ole Miss fans became a reality in the fall of 2008 with the installation of a $6 million integrated system featuring a large high definition video display at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium/Hollingsworth Field. The new scoreboard, which boasts a true high definition display, immediately enhanced the gameday experience and entertainment for Rebel football fans during the memorable 2008 campaign. A complete sound system from Daktronics Sportsound® division completed the integrated system. Plans are also well underway for a $3 million renovation of the Palmer/Sallom Tennis Center, site of many men’s and women’s NCAA Regionals and home of the 2009 SEC Champion Ole Miss Rebels. While Boone’s focus has been to provide student-athletes, coaches and administrative staff with every opportunity to succeed, he is also representing Ole Miss and the Southeastern Conference on a number of regional and national committees. In August of 2008, Boone was elected Chairman of the SEC Athletics Directors Committee, succeeding long-time chair Larry Templeton of Mississippi State, who was retiring as athletics director. He is in his fourth year as a member of the NCAA Committee on Academic Performance (CAP) and serves as Chairman of its Subcommittee on Appeals. He recently served as a member of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Academic Enhancement Group. Following 22 years in the banking business, Boone’s first tenure as athletics director at Ole Miss began in January of 1995, and success quickly followed. Several Ole Miss programs achieved success at the regional and national levels, winning conference titles and advancing to postseason play. In 1998, Boone returned to private business, but was once again drawn back to his alma mater when he resumed his athletics director duties at Ole Miss on June 1, 2002. Boone, a 1972 graduate of Ole Miss with a bachelor’s degree in banking and finance, is married to the former Scottye Howard of Grenada. The couple has two sons, Taylor and Lexie. Taylor is married to the former Laurel Joachim of Atlanta, Ga. Taylor and Laurel have two future Ole Miss Rebels -- a son, Morgan (7) and a daughter, Pharis Louise (2).

3 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS | 6 SEC CHAMPIONSHIPS | 20 BOWL VICTORIES | 32 BOWL APPEARANCES
Ole Miss was one of the first football programs in the Southeastern Conference, as well as the nation, to have a game broadcast on television. On Nov. 13, 1948, WMCT-TV in Memphis, Tenn., telecast the Ole Miss-Tennessee game from Crump Stadium in the “Bluff City.” The game, won by the Rebels, was reported to be the first football game televised from the Mid-South. The Rebels’ first network televised football game was in the 1952 season when they faced Georgia Tech in the 1953 Sugar Bowl on ABC-TV. Since then, Ole Miss has appeared on 168 regional and national telecasts, and on every major sports network, including ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, ESPN2 and FOX Sports Net. With the rise of the Rebels’ football fortunes since 1997, the television programmers have taken notice, placing Ole Miss on the tube a total of 84 times over the last 12 campaigns. In the 2002 and 2003 seasons, the Rebels appeared on television a record 10 times. Last year, the Rebels appeared on television seven times, including CBS twice and Fox Sports for the nationallytelevised Cotton Bowl.
Beginning with the 2009 season, all Ole Miss football games, except for non-conference road games, will be televised on either CBS or the ESPN family of networks. ESPN and the Southeastern Conference (SEC) reached a milestone 15-year agreement beginning in 2009-10 and continuing through 2023-24. The landmark deal will result in ESPN entities carrying more than 5,500 SEC events - including the rights to every SEC home football game (excluding those on the network broadcast package). The Rebels’ history on television has been a storied one. The memorable 1969 Ole Miss-Alabama game, which had national recordsetting performances by Rebel quarterback Archie Manning and Tide signal caller Scott Hunter, was the first college game televised at night.
Ole Miss has compiled a 75-91-2 record in television games, and 90 of the telecasts have been to national audiences. The first Rebel game to be televised in color was the 1960 Sugar Bowl when Ole Miss shut out LSU 21-0.
