Oct. 22, 1949 • Fort Worth, Texas • TCU 33, Ole Miss 27: Ole Miss led 20-6 midway through the second quarter in this offensive showdown, but 19 penalties against the Rebels contributed to their downfall in the 33-27 defeat at TCU.

Oct. 16, 1982 • Oxford, Miss. • Ole Miss 27, TCU 9: A Homecoming crowd at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium witnessed a 27-9 Rebel victory over TCU.

Jan. 2, 1956 • Dallas, Texas • Cotton Bowl • #10 Ole Miss 14, #5 TCU 13: Quarterback Eagle Day led Ole Miss to its first major bowl win with a 14-13 victory over TCU in the 1956 Cotton Bowl.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Ole Miss is making its third straight bowl appearance for the first time since 1998-2000. Hugh Freeze is the first coach in school history to take his team bowling in each of his first three years at the helm. This is the fifth game in the all-time series that both teams have been nationally ranked and the first since 1999. Ole Miss is tied for ninth all-time among Division I teams with 23 bowl victories. The Rebels are tied for 18th all-time among Division I teams with 36 bowl appearances. Ole Miss is tied with Florida State for the longest current bowl winning streak, prevailing in six straight. This is Ole Miss’ second appearance in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl ... The other was a win over Georgia Tech in 1971. Ole Miss and TCU are meeting for the seventh time, with the Rebels holding a 5-1 edge in previous outings ... Ole Miss leads 2-0 in bowl games, winning the 1948 Delta Bowl and 1956 Cotton Bowl. Ole Miss is the designated road team for this game. The Rebels’ nine regular-season wins are the most since 2003. Ole Miss is the only school in the country with wins over three 10-win squads (Alabama, Mississippi St., Boise St.). At No. 9 in the AP and CFP polls, Ole Miss has its highest final regular-season ranking since 1963. Ole Miss leads the nation in scoring defense (13.8 ppg) and fewest touchdowns allowed (18).

OLE MISS HEAD COACH HUGH FREEZE Hugh Freeze (Southern Miss, 1992) is in his third season at the Ole Miss helm. He inherited a team that went 2-10 and winless in SEC games in 2011 and has brought them all the way to a 9-3 record and No. 9 national ranking in less than three years. A finalist for the 2014 Bobby Dodd and Bear Bryant Coach of the Year awards, Freeze owns a 24-14 mark in Oxford and a career record of 54-21. His .632 winning percentage at Ole Miss is the third-best of any Rebel coach in the last 100 years. The 2013 Grant Teaff FCA Coach of the Year has led the Rebels to back-to-back bowl victories and has also ramped up the Rebels’ recruiting efforts with back-to-back top-15 signing classes, including the 2013 class that ranked top five in the nation. Under Freeze, Ole Miss has set numerous school records and the program has also seen attendance and ticket sales soar to new heights. He was named the University’s 37th head football coach on Dec. 5, 2011, coming to Oxford after one year as head coach at Arkansas State where he led the Red Wolves to a 10-2 season and the 2011 Sun Belt Conference title and was tabbed Sun Belt Coach of the Year. It is his second stint at Ole Miss, as he was a member of the Rebel coaching staff from 2005-07, including the final two seasons as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator with two of the top classes in school history. TCU HEAD COACH GARY PATTERSON Gary Patterson (Kansas State, 1983) is TCU’s all-time winningest football coach, while his 131-45 record (.744) ranks fifth among active coaches nationally with a minimum of 10 years experience. Patterson is one of just six current coaches with 100 or more victories at their current school. Routinely recognized as one of the nation’s best coaches, Patterson has been tabbed 2014 National Coach of the Year by multiple outlets. In leading TCU to back-to-back BCS appearances in the 2009 and 2010 seasons, including a 2011 Rose Bowl championship, Patterson received 10 National Coach of the Year honors. He has produced at least 10 wins in nine of the last 13 years, including seven seasons of 11 or more victories. He has helped lead the Horned Frogs to seven conference titles and 14 bowl games in 16 years. TCU SCOUTING REPORT TCU (11-1, 8-1 Big 12) was one of the final teams in the conversation for the fourth spot in the inaugural College Football Playoff after an outstanding turnaround season. The Horned Frogs were just 4-8 last season, but a resurgence on both sides of the ball has helped them win all but once this year (61-58 at No. 3 Baylor on Oct. 11). The offense ranks second nationally in scoring (46.8 ppg) and fourth in yards (542.2 ypg). Despite giving up 61 points to Baylor, the TCU defense still ranks 16th nationally in scoring (20.3 ppg). The Horned Frogs hold opponents to a 28.4 percent success rate on third downs, fifth-best in the land. National awards candidate Trevone Boykin has been superb at quarterback, ranking third nationally in total offense (363.0 ypg), fifth in points responsible for (234) and seventh in passing yards (309.5 ypg). He has tossed 30 touchdowns with only seven interceptions. Other touchdown machines include running backs B.J. Catalon (10) and Aaron Green (8) and wide receiver Josh Doctson (9). 2014 TCU Schedule Aug. 30 SAMFORD Sept. 13 MINNESOTA Sept. 27 at SMU Oct. 4 #3 OKLAHOMA* Oct. 11 at #3 Baylor* Oct. 18 #15 OKLAHOMA STATE* Oct. 25 TEXAS TECH*

FUN FACTS • Pop superstar Katy Perry was the guest picker for ESPN’s College GameDay in The Grove ... Other celebrities in Oxford for the Ole Miss-Alabama game: Woody Harrelson, Ronnie Dunn, Zac Efron, Liam Hemsworth, Octavia Spencer and several Memphis Grizzlies, including Mike Conley and Vince Carter. • This year is the first time ever that Ole Miss and Mississippi State have been ranked in the top 10 at the same time. • When Deterrian Shackelford was a freshman at Ole Miss in 2009, most of the members of this year’s freshman class were starting the eighth grade. • Denzel and Robert Nkemdiche entered the 2014 season with the third-most career tackles (151) among current college football brother tandems. Only Duke’s Kelby and Kyler Brown (315) and Utah State’s Zach and Nick Vigil (290) had more. • Twelve current Ole Miss players have already earned their college degrees - Justin Bell, Will Denny, Dylan Dyer, Lavon Hooks, Chase Hughes, Carlton Martin, Nicholas Parker, John Ratliff, Vince Sanders, Deterrian Shackelford, Walker Sturgeon and Bo Wallace.

game notes SUPER SOPHOMORES • In the Rebels’ sophomore class alone, there are three 2014 All-Americans (TE Evan Engram, DT Robert Nkemdiche, OT Laremy Tunsil) and five All-SEC picks (Engram, Nkemdiche, Tunsil, DB Tony Conner, WR Laquon Treadwell). • Engram, a John Mackey Award semifinalist, is a three-time National Tight End of the Week performer this year (Vanderbilt, Auburn, Mississippi State) and was named All-America third team by Sports on Earth and fourth team by Athlon and is a consensus All-SEC first team pick ... His 651 receiving yards top all SEC tight ends and are a singleseason record for a Rebel tight end, while his 17.6 yards per catch lead all tight ends nationally. • Nkemdiche, a semifinalist for the Rotary Lombardi Award, is an All-America first team pick by College Sports Madness, second team by USA Today and CBS Sports and fourth team by Athlon ... A first team All-SEC pick by the AP, his constant pressure in the backfield helps Ole Miss lead the nation in scoring defense (13.8 ppg). • Tunsil has been tabbed All-America second team by College Sports Madness and Sports on Earth and third team by Athlon, while he is an AP All-SEC first teamer ... He has allowed only one sack from his left tackle spot this year. • Conner was picked All-SEC second team by the AP and leads the team with 9.0 TFLs, while ranking second in tackes. • Treadwell, last year’s SEC Freshman of the Year, ended his season ranked fourth in the league in catches (5.3/game), sixth in receiving yards (70.2 ypg) and tied for seventh with five TD catches after suffering a broken fibula and dislocated ankle against Auburn ... He was chosen All-SEC second team by Athlon. ODDS AND ENDS • With a 9-3 record, Ole Miss secured its most regular-season wins since going 9-3 in 2003 ... A win over TCU in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl would give the Rebels their first 10-win season since that 2003 campaign. • Ole Miss has wins over the top-two ranked non-Power Five schools (Boise State, Memphis). • Ole Miss is fourth in the SEC and tied for 26th nationally with a +7 turnover margin. • Ole Miss has scored 31 more touchdowns than it has allowed (49 scored, 18 allowed). • Ole Miss has outscored opponents 102-49 in the fourth quarter (seventh-best in nation) this season. • Seventeen different Rebels have scored a touchdown this season (13 on offense, four on defense). • Ole Miss is 21-4 under Freeze when scoring first, including an 8-1 mark this year. • Ole Miss is 20-2 under Freeze when it rushes for 150 or more yards, 4-12 when it rushes for less than 150 yards. • With wins over No. 1 Alabama (Oct. 4) and No. 14 Texas A&M (Oct. 11), Ole Miss was victorious over ranked teams in consecutive weeks for the first time in program history. • Rebel opponents have set attendance records in two of the last three road games - 110,633 at Texas A&M (SEC record, state of Texas record, school record) and 102,321 at LSU (tied school record). • The team’s 41-3 win over Vanderbilt was its largest SEC margin of victory since 2008 (45-0 over Mississippi State). • The Rebels are one of a handful of schools in the country to keep their entire coaching staff intact from last season. • Ole Miss played its first two games of the season at NFL stadiums (Atlanta’s Georgia Dome and Nashville’s LP Field).

game notes LANDSHARK At Ole Miss, “Landshark” is a term adopted by the Rebel football team’s defensive unit. As part of that identity, defensive players will celebrate big plays by putting a hand to their forehead in the shape of a shark fin. A battle cry of “fins up” also contributes to the players’ persona. With the popularity of both the players and the “Landshark” celebration, Ole Miss student-athletes from other sports have even performed the hand gesture as a tribute to their fellow Rebels on the football team. Roots of the “Landshark” at Ole Miss date back to 2008. After four straight losing seasons, the Rebel football team returned to national prominence with a 9-4 record and a victory over 7th-ranked Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl. Leading the charge was a defensive squad that ranked fourth in the nation in rushing defense and included All-Americans Peria Jerry and Greg Hardy and eventual All-SEC standout Jerrell Powe. The term “Landshark” originated that season from senior linebacker Tony Fein, an Army veteran who served a one-year tour in the Iraq War before arriving in Oxford. A two-year letterman after transferring from Scottsdale (Ariz.) Community College, Fein was the 2008 recipient of the Pat Tillman Award by the Military Order of the Purple Heart. Fein passed away in October 2009, but his legacy at Ole Miss continues through the “Landshark.”

CHUCKY MULLINS COURAGE AWARD In the spring, graduate LB Deterrian Shackelford became the first ever two-time recipient of the Chucky Mullins Courage Award, which goes to a defensive player each year. The award, in its 25th year of existence, honors the late Chucky Mullins, who had his Ole Miss career come to an end during the 1989 Homecoming game against Vanderbilt when he was paralyzed after making a tackle. After returning to his studies at Ole Miss, Mullins passed away May 6, 1991. Shackelford wears the No. 38 jersey in Mullins’ honor this season. WESLEY WALLS ELECTED TO COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME Former Ole Miss All-American Wesley Walls was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame on Dec. 9. One of the most acclaimed players in Ole Miss history, Walls received first team All-America honors in 1988 at tight end while also being recognized as an NFF National Scholar-Athlete. He is only the 29th person to be inducted into the Hall of Fame while also receiving the prestigious Scholar-Athlete accolade. The Pontotoc, Mississippi, native, who went on to enjoy a successful NFL career, is the ninth former player or coach to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as an Ole Miss Rebel and the 11th overall member of the Ole Miss family to be inducted. LONG-TIME OLE MISS RADIO REPORTER STAN SANDRONI PASSES AWAY Long-time sideline reporter Stan Sandroni passed away suddenly of a heart attack Sept. 10. In his 26th season with Ole Miss, Sandroni handled the football sideline reports and Locker Room Show until his passing. In his career in Oxford, he had also announced men’s and women’s basketball games and served various other roles on the Ole Miss Radio Network. STAN HINDMAN NAMED SEC LEGEND Stan Hindman, one of the finest interior linemen in Ole Miss football history, is Ole Miss’ representative for the 2014 class of Southeastern Conference Football Legends. Hindman was an offensive guard and linebacker for John Vaught’s great Rebel teams from 1963-65. He excelled on and off the field, earning both All-America and Academic All-America honors. A three-time first-team All-SEC selection, he helped lead the Rebels to three bowl games and the 1963 SEC championship. An NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipient in 1966, he was selected in the first round of the 1966 NFL Draft by San Francisco and played seven seasons with the 49ers. He went on to become a successful architect in the San Francisco Bay Area. MANNING CENTER GIVES OLE MISS ELITE FACILITIES The newly renovated home of Ole Miss Football is now known as the Olivia and Archie Manning Athletics Performance Center. The renovation and expansion of the Manning Center, which features a top-of-the-line weight room, dining facility (Grill at 1810), locker room, players’ lounge and team meeting room, has been made possible by gifts to the Forward Together Campaign. In partnership with Ole Miss Athletics, the Manning family and the family of Billy Van Devender made significant contributions to the campaign in order to honor Olivia and Archie in this special way. FORWARD TOGETHER Ole Miss’ Forward Together Capital Campaign is seeking to raise $150 million to build a new basketball arena, renovate the Manning Center and expand and enhance VaughtHemingway Stadium. The stadium improvement plans include an update to the South End Zone and expanding the North End Zone. To date, the campaign has raised $125 million. The Manning Center renovations are complete. Work has already begun on the Pavilion at Ole Miss, and renovation of the South End Zone will begin soon and be ready for the 2015 football season. When the expansion is complete at the start of the 2016 season, seating capacity will be 64,038, making Vaught-Hemingway the largest stadium in Mississippi. The first phase will be a renovation and expansion of the South End Zone, which includes adding 30 luxury suites and 770 club level seats. All 30 luxury suites have already been sold, and 60 percent of the club level seats have been sold. The second phase will be a renovation and expansion of the North End Zone that will include the completion of the stadium seating bowl with a new brick and stone exterior that matches campus architecture. Other additions include new video boards and a new sound system.

ATLANTA, Ga. - Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. For the No. 18 Ole Miss football team, it wasn’t always pretty Thursday night at the Georgia Dome, but at the end of the night the Rebels accomplished their goal and sit at 1-0 after a 35-13 victory over Boise State in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game. For those who love strong defense, the Rebels opened the season with flying colors. For the folks who love seeing touchdowns, the first three quarters were forgettable, while the fourth quarter was a thing of beauty. Either way, Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze knows his team has room to improve, and it will do so with a victory in hand. The Ole Miss defense caused three turnovers in the opening half, all interceptions, and despite the Broncos recording seven plays inside the Ole Miss 5-yard line, the Rebels held Boise State to just three points and went into the half with a 7-3 lead. After the Broncos cut the Rebels’ lead to one on a field goal with 1:02 remaining in the third quarter, Ole Miss broke the game open in the fourth quarter. After scoring just seven points in its first 59 plays, the Ole Miss offense then scored 28 points over a nine-play stretch. The Rebels’ 28 fourth-quarter points were the most points in a quarter by an Ole Miss team since scoring 28 in the fourth quarter against Memphis in the 2009 season opener. With interceptions from Senquez Golson, C.J. Johnson, Cody Prewitt and Tony Conner, the Ole Miss defense recorded its most interceptions in a game since picking off four passes against Southern Illinois in 2011. On the ground, Ole Miss racked up eight tackles for loss and three sacks. In special teams play, redshirt-freshman punter Will Gleeson hit four punts for a 47.2-yard average. Three of Gleeson’s punts landed inside the 20-yard line, including a long punt of 70 yards which settled on the Broncos’ 7. So while the first half was a struggle at times, and the number of penalties was eyebrowraising, Ole Miss was still able to come away with a convincing victory on a big stage on college football’s opening night. Now that is a thing of beauty.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - No. 15 Ole Miss scored early and often, while the Rebel defense gave up only a field goal in the fourth quarter en route to a dominating 41-3 win over Vanderbilt in both teams’ SEC opener Saturday. With the exception of that first half against Boise State, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze is very happy with how his Rebels have started this season. Bo Wallace threw for 320 yards and a touchdown to lead the charge. He is now one passing touchdown shy of Jevan Snead (46) for second place on the Rebels’ all-time list. The Rebels (2-0) have beaten Vanderbilt in Nashville in consecutive seasons after the Commodores had won five of the previous six. The Rebels won in dominating fashion with their largest margin of victory against an SEC opponent since beating Mississippi State 45-0 in 2008. Ole Miss scored on seven of its first eight possessions with the shortest drive covering 67 yards, and the Rebels never punted. Jaylen Walton started the scoring with a 20-yard TD, and I’Tavius Mathers and DeVante Kincade also ran for TDs. Wallace put the Rebels up 20-0 with a 20-yard TD pass to Cody Core, and he was sacked as the first half ended with Ole Miss threatening to score again. Playing an hour north of his hometown in Pulaski, Tennessee, Wallace had 249 yards by halftime, and his day was done after Mathers’ TD with 9:29 left in the third quarter. Ole Miss outgained Vandy 331-76 in total offense at halftime and finished 547-167. The Rebels also piled up 34 first downs -- the most in a game under Freeze. Cliff Coleman returned an interception 39 yards less than a minute into the second half, and Mathers, from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, padded the lead to 34-0 with a 2-yard TD run. Vanderbilt didn’t get past midfield against the Rebels until the final couple minutes of the third quarter, and the Commodores had to settle for a field goal after recovering Kincade’s fumble at the Ole Miss 5 in the fourth quarter.

OXFORD, Miss. - On a cloudy Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, the Ole Miss football team’s offense and defense shined brightly, shutting down the Louisiana-Lafayette offense and shredding the Ragin’ Cajun defense en route to a 56-15 victory in the Rebels’ home opener. The Rebel offense accumulated 554 total yards of offense, including 340 yards through the air and 214 yards on the ground. The defense held Louisiana-Lafayette to 322 total yards, including just 129 through the air. The Rebels’ “Landshark Defense” has now allowed just 189 yards passing over the past two games combined, and has allowed just two touchdowns all season. Senior quarterback Bo Wallace completed 23 of his 28 pass attempts for 316 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. With his four touchdown passes, the Pulaski, Tennessee, native passed Jevan Snead for second all-time in Ole Miss history with 49 career touchdowns. Saturday was also the 10th 300-yard passing game of Wallace’s career, which ties him with former Rebel great Eli Manning for the most in program history. Ole Miss had a balanced rushing attack, as juniors Jaylen Walton and I’Tavius Mathers totaled 146 yards and two touchdowns on just 10 carries. Walton’s day was highlighted by a career-high 71-yard touchdown run, while Mathers opened the scoring for Ole Miss with a 56-yard scamper to the endzone. Through the air, senior Vince Sanders had a career day with eight receptions for 125 yards and two touchdowns (all career highs). Even more impressive, all of the Macon, Mississippi’s production came in the first half of the game. Senior cornerback Senquez Golson picked off two passes Saturday, and returned one of the two interceptions 59 yards for a touchdown.

OXFORD, Miss. - On a night where the Ole Miss offense couldn’t avoid the dreaded turnovers, the Rebel defense bowed up to shut down the visiting Memphis Tigers for a 24-3 victory on a beautiful Saturday night at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. “Our kids showed great resolve and I’m extremely proud of our defense,” said Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze, whose birthday was Saturday. “We haven’t had a better effort than that in our two and a half years here. They were phenomenal, and Memphis is a team that has been putting up really good numbers.” Ole Miss (4-0) recognized the M-Club Class of 2014 at halftime, and celebrated the career and life of former player Chucky Mullins, after renaming Coliseum Drive in his honor on Friday. It was fitting then that the defense was led by linebacker Deterrian Shackelford, the only two-time recipient of the Chucky Mullins Courage Award. Shackelford, who wears the No. 38 jersey in Mullins’ honor, led the Rebels with eight total tackles, including four solo tackles and one tackle for loss. The Rebels allowed just 104 total yards the entire evening, including 23 rushing yards on 31 carries. Excluding one 42-yard pass play by Memphis (2-2) in the first quarter, the Rebel defense allowed just 62 total yards on the other 61 plays from scrimmage. Sophomore Tony Conner and junior Denzel Nkemdiche each had two tackles for loss, while junior C.J. Johnson, freshman Marquis Haynes, senior Bryon Bennett and senior Lavon Hooks each had a sack. Haynes also forced a fumble, which junior Issac Gross recovered, and junior Trae Elston recorded an interception. The Ole Miss offense generated 426 total yards, but 10 penalties for 117 yards, four turnovers and two missed field goals limited its final score. Sophomore wide receiver Laquon Treadwell had five catches for 123 yards and two touchdowns, while junior running back Jaylen Walton had 10 carries for 78 yards and a touchdown. Senior quarterback Bo Wallace finished 22-37 for 248 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Ole Miss opened the game’s scoring on a 63-yard strike from Wallace to Treadwell with 12:01 remaining in the first quarter. The first quarter ended with the Rebels leading just 7-3 though, as Memphis hit a 40-yard field goal with 2:51 remaining. The Rebels didn’t get on the board again until the fourth quarter, but they scored 17 points in the final frame to stretch their lead out to 21 points. Following a 19-yard field goal from senior Andrew Fletcher, Walton ran 23 yards to pay dirt, and Treadwell caught a 17-yard pass in the back of the end zone with 1:18 remaining.

OXFORD, Miss. - There are times in people’s lives when they will say to themselves, ‘I will never forget this moment.’ For the 61,826 fans that packed Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on a beautiful, cool, fall afternoon, No. 11 Ole Miss’ thrilling 23-17 victory over No. 1 Alabama was a moment that won’t soon be forgotten. On one of the biggest weekends in Ole Miss football history, the Rebels’ impressive defense stood tall once again, and the offense rallied and took advantage of opportune turnovers to top the Crimson Tide. It was the first win over a top-ranked team in program history, and it was the Rebels’ first win over Alabama (4-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) since 2003. A weekend that began with Ole Miss’ (5-0, 2-0 SEC) first appearance on ESPN’s popular pregame show “College GameDay,” was closed out in style by outscoring Alabama 20-3 in the second half to move to 5-0 for the first time since 1962, and send thousands of the Rebel faithful onto the Hollingsworth Field in euphoria. The Ole Miss defense’s first string allowed its first touchdown of the season Saturday, but not much else, despite facing an opponent that entered the game averaging 42.0 points. The Rebels held Alabama to 3.8 yards a carry, which is nearly two yards fewer than its season average. The opportune Landshark Defense also created two turnovers, one of which the Rebels ultimately won the game on, and the other effectively ended the game as senior Senquez Golson picked off Alabama quarterback Blake Sims with 37 seconds left in the game. Ole Miss senior quarterback Bo Wallace went 18-31 for 251 yards, three touchdowns and no turnovers. The oft-critiqued senior from Pulaski, Tennessee, showed his moxie late in the game, completing each of his final three pass attempts for 57 yards and two touchdowns. “Sometimes these kids take way more criticism than they deserve,” Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said. “I don’t know that they get the equal treatment on the other side of it. … In the second half, he made some big-time plays. He just played so solid. On that last touchdown, that ball was right where it needed to be for us. Who knows what the next week holds, but tonight, Bo led his team to defeat the No. 1 team in the country. He deserves credit for being a big part of that.”

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - If the No. 3 Ole Miss football team’s win over Alabama last week was a statement win, Saturday night’s 35-20 thumping of No. 14 Texas A&M on the road was a validation victory. Throughout the week, the Rebels (6-0, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) faced questions as to whether they would experience a hangover of sorts coming off such a big victory as the one against Alabama. Those questions were answered quickly in front of a record-breaking crowd of 110,633 at Kyle Field. Ole Miss scored 14 points in the first quarter and shutout the Aggies 21-0 in the first half, marking the first time ever that a Kevin-Sumlin coached team at Texas A&M had been shutout in the opening half. The win over Texas A&M (5-2, 2-2 SEC) was the Rebels’ first-ever against the Aggies, and it marked the first time in program history Ole Miss had defeated AP top-25 ranked opponents in back-to-back weeks. “I’m really pleased to come into Texas A&M, a very hostile environment, and I thought our kids handled it very well,” Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said. “They handled the preparation all week long very well. To come out of here with a victory in this difficult environment against a very difficult, talented team is very exciting for our program and our fans. We have some great fans who made the trip. I could hear them all night. You get into this deal to play in atmospheres like this and it was awesome to see.” Senior quarterback Bo Wallace went 13-19 for 178 yards, one touchdown and no turnovers, and ran for another 50 yards and two touchdowns on 14 rushes. Sophomore wide receiver Laquon Treadwell had five catches for 53 yards, while fellow sophomore wideout Quincy Adeboyejo had two catches for a career-high 64 yards and a touchdown. On the ground, junior running back Jaylen Walton had nine carries for 49 yards. Defensively, the Rebels forced three turnovers, upping their season total to an SEC-high 13, and returned two of the turnovers for scores. The front seven also had a very strong night. In addition to recording two sacks, Ole Miss held Texas A&M to 54 yards rushing, which is 134 yards shy of its season average.

OXFORD, Miss. - Gosh almighty, that defense is good. As it has done all season, the No. 3 Ole Miss football team displayed an impressive performance en route to a victory, and as has been the case throughout the year, it was the Rebels’ famed “Landshark” defense that shined brightest. Holding the visiting Tennessee Volunteers to zero yards rushing, Ole Miss cruised to a 34-3 victory and improved to 7-0 on the year and 4-0 in the Southeastern Conference. “I’m really proud of a lot of things tonight. There are also a lot of things that will most certainly keep us grounded,” Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said. “We need to work on some things to be more efficient and get better. We’re a team that plays to our strengths until we get the right opening. We’re playing so well right now. We held them to zero rushing yards. Our punt and coverage unit is playing so solid. ... We found some things right before the half and were able to get more efficient rushing the ball. Offensively, we didn’t turn the ball over. That’s huge in league games. Hopefully that trend will continue.” Playing in front of the third-largest crowd in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium’s history (62,081), Ole Miss forced four turnovers and a turnover on downs. As a unit, the Rebels now have 15 interceptions on the year, which leads the country, and the Ole Miss defense has forced a turnover in 30 straight games, which is the second longest active streak among FBS schools. Individually, CB Senquez Golson continued his fantastic senior campaign by picking off two passes, giving him seven on the year, which is tied for the fourth most in a season in program history. Similarly, DE Marquis Haynes continued his fantastic freshman campaign with 2.5 sacks and a fumble recovery. With the defense playing as well as it is, Freeze said it has allowed them to be a bit more conservative with their offensive play calling so as to not give the opposition a shorter field with a turnover. “You can tell from our play calling that we’re comfortable as long as the defense is playing like they are,” Freeze said. “We’re very cautious at times. You have to figure if we can score 17-20 points then we have a chance to win a lot of games with the way we’re playing.” Senior QB Bo Wallace threw for 199 yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers. Wallace still has yet to turn the ball over in SEC play, while throwing seven touchdowns and running in another two. Junior RB Jaylen Walton led Ole Miss on the ground with 60 yards and one touchdown, while senior WR Vince Sanders paced the Rebels through the air with 108 yards receiving and one touchdown.

BATON ROUGE, La. - The No. 3 Ole Miss football team forced four turnovers at No. 23 LSU on Saturday night, but the Ole Miss offense couldn’t find a rhythm and the Rebels (7-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) lost their first game of the season, 10-7. While the Ole Miss “Landshark” defense further cemented itself as one of the best in the country, the offense couldn’t get enough points to support it, proving to be the difference in the game. Seniors Deterrian Shackelford and Cody Prewitt each forced fumbles in the first half, while senior Senquez Golson and junior Mike Hilton each picked off passes in the second half. Senior quarterback Bo Wallace finished 14-33 for 176 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. Wallace also ran for a team-high 40 yards on a dozen rushes. Sophomore wide receiver Laquon Treadwell led Ole Miss through the air with 70 yards receiving on four catches. Junior wide receiver Cody Core had four catches for 45 yards, and scored Ole Miss’ lone touchdown. The Rebels hadn’t allowed an opponent to top 200 rushing yards all season, but couldn’t stop the Tigers’ three-headed monster of Leonard Fournette, Kenny Hilliard and Terrence Magee, who led the way for LSU en route to 264 rushing yards. In doing so, LSU (7-2, 3-2 SEC) won the time of possession battle by 12 minutes despite logging just three more total plays. Ole Miss was fortunate in the first quarter to escape with a 7-0 lead. On its opening drive, LSU drove down to the Rebels’ 12-yard line, but missed wide left on a 28-yard field goal attempt. Then, on its second drive of the game, LSU again drove down the field, but fumbled at the 1-yard line and Prewitt recovered the ball in the end zone for a touchback. The Rebels’ offense took advantage of the turnover, going 80 yards in six plays, finishing with a 15-yard touchdown pass from Wallace to Core. It was Core’s team-leading fifth touchdown reception of the year. LSU got on the board with 2:47 remaining in the half on a 21-yard field goal to cut the Ole Miss lead to 7-3 going into the break. After a scoreless third quarter, LSU seized the lead in the fourth quarter with a 3-yard touchdown pass to senior tight end Logan Stokes with 5:07 remaining. Ole Miss couldn’t answer the Tigers in the fourth quarter, as Wallace was intercepted with two seconds left, marking the first time all year he has been picked off in SEC play. The Ole Miss defense, which entered Saturday night tied for the lead nationally with 15 interceptions, now has 17 picks. The Rebels have also now caused a turnover in 31 consecutive games, which is the second longest active streak in the country.

OXFORD, Miss. - The No. 4 Ole Miss football team played a hard-fought game against No. 3 Auburn on Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, but two fumbles on the Auburn 1-yard line in the fourth quarter proved to be too costly to overcome and the Rebels lost 35-31. Trailing by four with less than two minutes to play, sophomore wide receiver Laquon Treadwell caught a pass down the middle and broke for the end zone. Dragging a defender, Treadwell fought his way toward the goal line, but had his ankle rolled over and fumbled into the end zone, and the Tigers (7-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) recovered the ball. The play left the crowd of 62,090 in stone silence and the Rebels’ hopes of victory shaken. Ole Miss got the ball back with 35 seconds remaining, but couldn’t advance the ball in the waning seconds. Treadwell, a preseason first team All-SEC selection, finished the night with a career-high 10 receptions for 103 yards and one touchdown. The complete extent of his injury was not known immediately following the game, but Freeze did say it was definitely a fracture. Though marred by 19 penalties, the game was highly entertaining as the two sides traded leads throughout the second half. Ole Miss (7-2, 4-2 SEC) senior quarterback Bo Wallace completed 28-of-40 passes for 341 yards and two touchdowns, and ran for another 56 yards and one touchdown on 14 rushes. In total, the Rebels accumulated 492 yards, while the Tigers had 507 – the most by an Ole Miss opponent all season. In addition to Treadwell’s 103 yards receiving, sophomore tight end Evan Engram (123 yards, one touchdown) and senior Vince Sanders (105 yards) also topped the century mark. It is the first time Ole Miss has had three receivers top 100 yards in the same game in the Freeze era. The two teams exchanged leads three times during the second half, but a 6-yard run by Cameron Artis-Payne with 10:23 to go in the game proved to be the game-winner.

OXFORD, Miss. - The No. 11 Ole Miss football team (8-2) rushed for 402 yards and passed for another 238 as it cruised to a 48-0 victory over Presbyterian (5-5) on a cool Saturday afternoon at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Redshirt-freshman Jordan Wilkins rushed for a career-high 171 yards on 10 carries and one touchdown, and sophomore Mark Dodson logged a career-high 128 yards on just three carries, thanks to a pair of touchdown runs over 60 yards. “It’s a happy locker room in there,” Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said. “Some of the joyous things that happened today are seeing kids like John Ratliff get a catch, who has spent years as a walk-on in this program. Lakedrick King broke up a pass on third down. It was a lot of fun to see our teammates be successful. It was quite rewarding.” Ole Miss’ 640 total yards is its second-highest total in program history. The Rebels’ 402 rushing yards were their most since 2010. Ole Miss posted its first shutout since 2012, and racked up a season-high 12 tackles for loss, including two sacks. Presbyterian gained just 67 yards through the air and 89 yards on the ground. The Rebels were especially stingy on third downs, holding the Blue Hose to a 2-for-12 conversion rate. Senior quarterback Bo Wallace went 11-15 for 140 yards and two touchdowns, and also ran for one touchdown. The Pulaski, Tennessee, native was taken out at halftime, and redshirtfreshmen Ryan Buchanan and DeVante Kincade handled the second half. Senior wide receiver Vince Sanders caught four passes for 110 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore wide receiver Derrick Jones caught his first five career passes for 55 yards and his first touchdown, a 31-yard grab from Kincade. On the defensive side of the ball, senior defensive end Carlos Thompson led the Rebels with a career-high seven tackles. Senior linebacker Serderius Bryant picked off the first pass of his career, extending Ole Miss’ nation-leading turnover streak to 33 games in the process and giving Ole Miss 19 interceptions, which also leads the country. Junior defensive end Channing Ward caused a turnover, forcing his third fumble of the year, which ties him for the lead in the SEC.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – A strong opening quarter by Arkansas and six turnovers were too much to overcome for the No. 8 Ole Miss football team, and the Rebels lost 30-0 on a rainy Saturday afternoon at Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Paced by a strong rushing attack and favorable field position throughout much of the first half, the Razorbacks (6-5, 2-5 Southeastern Conference) jumped out to a 17-0 lead by the end of the first quarter. Entering Saturday’s game, Ole Miss (8-3, 4-3 SEC) had outscored its opponents 83-10 in the opening quarter, the fifth-best mark in the country. “It was a tough one,” Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said. “They put it to us pretty good. I was concerned all week, for whatever reason, that we weren’t locked in totally. I think that showed in the beginning of the game.” Ole Miss was plagued by turnovers throughout the game, throwing four interceptions and also fumbling the ball twice. The Ole Miss defense forced a fumble, extending its streak of games with at least one turnover caused to 34 games, which is the longest such streak in the country. “You can’t turn it over the number of times that we did and expect to win,” Freeze said. “I just kept hoping we could get something good going and cut that thing to a score or two and I think our defense would have played well enough to give us a chance but we never did.” Saturday’s game between Ole Miss and Arkansas had large postseason implications on the line. With Arkansas’ win, every team in the SEC Western Division is now bowl eligible for the first time in conference history. Despite the loss, several Rebels put their names in the school record book. Sophomore Evan Engram had five catches for 65 yards, taking over the single-season school record for receiving yards by a tight end with 475 yards. With 218 yards of total offense in the game, senior quarterback Bo Wallace surpassed Eli Manning as the all-time school record holder with 10,090 career total offensive yards. Wallace also moved past Johnny Manziel into ninth place all-time in SEC history. Finally, junior running back Jaylen Walton returned two kicks for 40 yards and surpassed Mike Wallace for the all-time Ole Miss record with 1,429 career kickoff return yards. After going into the halftime break trailing 17-0, Ole Miss allowed 10 more points in the third quarter to enter the final frame trailing 27-0. Arkansas would tack on an 18-yard field goal in the fourth quarter to give the game its final score of 30-0.

OXFORD, Miss. – In the face of adversity, whether it was season-ending injuries or heartbreaking losses, Ole Miss reclaimed the Egg Bowl with a 31-17 win over No. 4 Mississippi State to cap a 9-3 regular season, their best regular season since 2003. “To win a rivalry game against a very good football team and reclaim the prize of this program in the Egg Bowl, it’s a priority we have every year,” head coach Hugh Freeze said. “To get that done tonight facing some adversity with injuries and other things, I’m so proud of our young men that put everything in the trash and prepare for this one with clear hearts, mind and eyes.” No. 18 Ole Miss (9-3, 5-3 SEC) held Mississippi State (10-2, 6-2 SEC) to 17 points, tied for their fewest points scored in a game this season, and a red-zone stand sealed the win for the Rebels. Offensively, senior quarterback Bo Wallace threw for nearly 300 yards, and junior running back Jaylen Walton and sophomore tight end Evan Engram turned in career games. Walton finished with a career-high 148 yards on 14 carries, including a highlight-reel 91-yard touchdown run that proved to be the game-winning score for the Rebels. With injuries to Laquon Treadwell and then to Vince Sanders, who suffered a knee injury in the second quarter, Engram stepped up, hauling in five catches for a career-high 176 yards, the fourth-most receiving yards in a game in school history. He moved into second place on the school’s all-time list in receiving yards among tight ends. Despite those injuries, the Rebels accumulated 532 yards of total offense, their fourth game with 500-plus total yards this season and the second-most against an SEC opponent. Ole Miss struck first, as Wallace found Engram over the middle for a 46-yard to the 1-yard line. On the next play, Wallace punched it in for the 7-0 lead. Mississippi State answered with a 45-yard field goal on its next drive, the last scoring play before halftime. The Rebels held the Bulldogs to 128 total yards and just 3.6 yards per play in the first half. Coming out of halftime, the Bulldogs took their first lead, 10-7, on a 1-yard touchdown run by junior quarterback Dak Prescott. The Rebels would score on their next three drives to build a 24-17 lead going into the fourth quarter. Looked to be stopped for no gain, junior running back Jaylen Walton reversed field, made a couple of Mississippi State defenders miss, and took it 91 yards to the house, the longest play this season and third-longest touchdown run in school history, to give the Rebels a 24-10 lead.

HUGH FREEZE A Mississippi native, inspirational leader and one of the nation’s top rising coaches, Hugh Freeze was the first choice to return championships to Ole Miss Football and was introduced as the Rebels’ 37th head coach on December 5, 2011. He certainly is off to a good start. Inheriting a team that won just two games in 2011 and had lost 14 straight Southeastern Conference games, Freeze has directed Ole Miss to three bowl appearances in his first three years – the first coach in school history to do that. The Rebels have increased their win total in each year under Freeze, including their first nine-win regular season since 2003 this year. Ole Miss has been nationally ranked throughout this entire season, rising as high as No. 3 for the first time since 1964. A finalist for the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year and Bear Bryant Coach of the Year awards, Freeze has overseen a Rebel team ranked No. 1 in the nation in scoring defense (13.8 ppg) and with some big victories to show for it. Ole Miss is the only team in the country that won three games over 10-win teams, all of which ended up in “New Year’s Six” bowls - Alabama (Sugar), Mississippi State (Orange) and Boise State (Fiesta). The Oct. 4 win over No. 1 Alabama was the program’s first ever win over the nation’s top-ranked team at the time of the game. The Crimson Tide and Bulldogs were the only two teams ranked No. 1 in the 2014 College Football Playoff rankings, and Ole Miss knocked off both of them. In all, Freeze has a 54-21 career college coaching record and 24-14 mark at Ole Miss entering the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl matchup against TCU. He has guided Ole Miss to three straight winning seasons for the first time since 2001-03. After leading the Rebels to a 2013 Music City Bowl win and 8-5 final record, he was named the 2013 Grant Teaff Coach of the Year by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. With the support of a rabid Rebel Nation, Ole Miss has

set season attendance records and season ticket sales records each of the last two seasons. Freeze and his staff have helped transform the makeup of the Ole Miss roster (back-to-back top-15 signing classes, including a 2013 class that ranked as high as No. 2 nationally) and the production on the field (Ole Miss has set numerous school records and ranks highly in the nation in many categories). Freeze has helped develop quarterback Bo Wallace into one of the best in school history and has seen 10 players earn All-SEC honors during his tenure, including first team All-Americans Cody Prewitt (2013) and Senquez Golson (2014). The fans that filled Vaught-Hemingway Stadium each Saturday in 2013 were treated to another exciting offensive season. The Rebels eclipsed 500 total yards of offense in four of their final five home games, including a program-record 751 yards in a rout of Troy. The Rebel offense finished the season with a school-record 6,153 total yards and ranked 21st nationally and fifth in the SEC in total offense (473.3 ypg). A month after the Rebels capped off the 2012 season with a 38-17 win over Pittsburgh in the BBVA Compass Bowl, Ole Miss was the talk of National Signing Day when Freeze and Co. landed a consensus top-10 class that was ranked as high as No. 2 by 247Sports and No. 5 by ESPN - the highest recorded signing class rankings in school history. The Rebels’ 7-6 record in 2012 could have been even better had they not lost three tight SEC games (Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, at LSU) by a combined 10 points. The Rebel offense saw a dramatic turnaround under Freeze in 2012. With many of the same players, he took a team that had ranked at or near the bottom of the SEC in every statistical category in 2011 to rank top five in the league and top 50 in the nation in scoring, total offense and passing. The 2012 Rebels soared up the school record books

and cracked the top four single-season totals in scoring, total offense and passing. Under Freeze’s watch, quarterback Bo Wallace has posted some of the best numbers in school history. In three seasons as the starter, Wallace is first or second in every major quarterback statistical category and has cracked the SEC’s all-time top 10 in both total offense and passing yards. Wallace has a chance to become the first quarterback to ever lead the Rebels to three bowl wins. Freeze has led a resurgence in team attitude and effort that extends to the defensive side of the ball, as well. The 2014 unit leads the nation in scoring defense, allowing just 13.8 points per outing and a nation-low 18 touchdowns. The Rebels rank among the top 15 nationally in nearly every defensive category. An undersized, but feisty Rebel D finished first among SEC teams and fourth nationally in tackles for loss (7.9/ game) and second in the SEC and 11th nationally in sacks (2.9/game) in 2012. Freeze, a noted speaker and recruiter throughout his career, has enjoyed success at nearly every coaching level over the past 20 years, from high school to NAIA to FBS, and each stop has featured a high-scoring offense and the ability to motivate young people. Before returning to Oxford, the former Ole Miss assistant experienced a recordsetting run at Arkansas State. With Freeze as head coach in 2011, the Red Wolves captured the Sun Belt Conference championship and became just the third school in Sun Belt history to finish undefeated in league play with a perfect 8-0 mark. The 10-2 overall record marked the program’s first 10-win season since 1986, when ASU was a member of the I-AA Southland Conference. In the best debut season ever by an A-State head coach, Freeze became just the 14th FBS first-year head coach to win 10 regular season games. He also returned ASU to a bowl game for the first time since 2005. Freeze was named Sun Belt Coach of the Year, while 13

of his pupils earned all-conference honors, including both the Offensive Player of the Year in junior quarterback Ryan Aplin and the Defensive Player of the Year in senior lineman Brandon Joiner. While dominating the Sun Belt statistical categories, the Red Wolves finished the season ranked top 25 in the nation in total offense (24th), total defense (24th), passing offense (16th), rushing defense (13th), pass efficiency defense (21st), scoring defense (25th), tackles for loss (eighth) and sacks (15th). They were also one of only two teams in the NCAA to lead their conference in both total offense and defense. Freeze’s high-octane offense saw Aplin shatter the school record for career pass completions. He established new single-season standards for total offense and passing yards per game while ranking No. 10 in the nation in total offense. Wide receiver Dwayne Frampton broke the Red Wolves’ single-season record for receptions and ranked 13th nationally. The Freeze defense also impressed in 2011 led by Joiner, who tied for third in the NCAA in sacks and 10th in TFLs. Senior DB Darryl Feemster registered six interceptions and tied for 14th in the nation in that category. Freeze’s first season in Jonesboro saw him serve as Arkansas State’s offensive coordinator, guiding the Red Wolves’ offense to a record-breaking year in 2010. He made an immediate impact on ASU’s program, leading the offense to a No. 43 national ranking in total offense one year after the Red Wolves finished toward the bottom of the NCAA FBS rankings at No. 95. In just their first year under Freeze’s up-tempo offense, the Red Wolves broke nine offensive school records that included 4,841 yards of total offense, which ranked No. 2 in the Sun Belt Conference. ASU, ranked 42nd in the nation in scoring offense, finished the season averaging 30 points a game and recorded at least 20 points in 11 consecutive games for the

first time in school history. Freeze’s offense scored 46 touchdowns for the fourth-most in school history and the most since the 1975 season. In addition to working as ASU’s offensive coordinator, Freeze was also the quarterbacks coach for the Red Wolves. Under Freeze’s direction, Aplin exploded onto the scene in 2010 to emerge as a Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year candidate as a sophomore. Aplin not only broke the ASU records for total offense, passing yards, passing touchdowns and completions, he posted numbers that rank among the top 10 in Sun Belt history in the same categories. Prior to his arrival at Arkansas State, Freeze compiled a 20-5 record over the 2008 and 2009 seasons at the helm of the Lambuth University football program. Freeze was named the American Football Coaches Association’s Southeast Region Coach of the Year in 2009 after leading the Eagles to their best regular season in school history with an 11-0 record. Under Freeze’s direction, Lambuth won the Mid-South Conference West Division, advanced to the second round of the NAIA playoffs for the first time since 1999, finished the year with a 12-1 mark and ascended to the No. 6 ranking in NAIA. The Mid-South Conference Coach of the Year oversaw the offense and called plays for a Lambuth team that averaged more than 40 points per game and ranked ninth nationally in total offense (465 ypg). The Eagles also ranked first in the nation in fourth-down conversions, fourth in first downs per game and third-down conversions, fifth in passing and eighth in scoring offense. Prior to taking over as head coach at Lambuth, Freeze served on the Ole Miss staff from 2005-07, including the final two seasons as an assistant coach. He originally arrived in Oxford as Assistant Athletics Director for External Affairs before being named the Rebels’ recruiting coordinator and tight ends coach before the 2006 season.

The Freeze family: Hugh and Jill with daughters Jordan, Madison and Ragan

coaches & staff In his first year as recruiting coordinator, he helped bring in the nation’s ninth-ranked recruiting class, the highest recorded rank in the history of the program at that time. Ole Miss’ 2007 signing class was tabbed 25th nationally, and he was responsible for nine commitments in the 2008 signing class. While maintaining his duties as recruiting coordinator, he moved to wide receivers coach in 2007 and tutored current NFL star Mike Wallace to a top-10 SEC finish in receiving yards. Freeze also coached Shay Hodge, who later became Ole Miss’ first 1,000-yard receiver, and Dexter McCluster, who went on to become the first player in SEC history with 1,000 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards in the same season. Before going to Ole Miss, Freeze served 13 years at Briarcrest Christian School (Memphis, Tenn.) as a classroom teacher, coach and administrator. He was the Saints’ head football coach from 1995 to 2004, running the no-huddle “spread system” for six years that led to six straight state championship games. Freeze compiled a 99-23 record, which included an undefeated season in 1996 while at Briarcrest and led the school to state championship titles in 2002 and 2004. Briarcrest won regional titles in 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2001 and 2002, and Freeze was named the Region 8-AA Coach of the Year five times and Associated Press Coach of the Year four times. Among his talented pupils during that period were eventual Rebels and current NFL starters Michael Oher and Greg Hardy. Before assuming the role of head coach at Briarcrest, Freeze served as the Saints’ offensive coordinator and defensive backs coach from 1992-94, as the Saints reached the TSSAA state semifinals twice. A 1988 graduate of Senatobia High School, Freeze received an associate’s degree from Northwest Mississippi Community College in 1990 and earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics with a minor in coaching and sports administration from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1992. It was while attending USM that he became active in mission projects, serving as a missionary in Houston, Salt Lake City, St. Petersburg, Russia and Australia. Freeze also served as the state president for the Mississippi Baptist Student Union. Born in Oxford and raised in Independence, Mississippi, Hugh, 45, and his wife, Jill, are the parents of three daughters, Ragan (16), Jordan (15) and Madison (12).

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT COACH FREEZE ARCHIE MANNING

SEARCH COMMITTEE CO-CHAIR NFL QB (1971-84), TWO-TIME PRO BOWLER OLE MISS (1968-70), TWO-TIME ALL-AMERICAN “Coach Freeze impressed me immediately with his energy, passion, excitement and very detailed plan to build a championship program at Ole Miss. His leadership and integrity, his approach to recruiting and his understanding and love of Ole Miss set him apart from other candidates. He has been very successful and earned great respect everywhere he has been, and it’s clear that he is a rising star in the head coaching fraternity.”

BRUCE FELDMAN

COLUMNIST/COMMENTATOR, FOX SPORTS “When I talk to people who are unfamiliar with Hugh Freeze, the first thing that I bring out is that he is probably the best speaker I’ve ever been around. That’s no hyperbole. If you get a chance to see Hugh Freeze give a speech to a team or a group, it will really make an impression on you. He will get people’s attention. I think he’s a good recruiter because he’s committed to it. He knows the area. ... He knows what Ole Miss has to offer. He knows the pulse of that region, and I think that’s important.”

GUS MALZAHN

AUBURN HEAD COACH

MICHAEL OHER

“He’s very talented. He’s good at what he does. He’s a great communicator and a very good football mind.”

BALTIMORE RAVENS (2009-13) TENNESSEE TITANS (2014-PRESENT) OLE MISS (2005-08), 2008 ALL-AMERICAN “Coach Freeze knows the game inside-out. His track record speaks for itself. He’s been successful everywhere he’s been. Players will love him. He’s a player’s coach, but he’s going to be hard on you, because he wants to get the best out of you. As he’s being hard on you, you’re going to learn to love him, because you know he wants the best for you. Offensively, he has the mind of a genius. I’m looking for Ole Miss to be in the top half of the conference, if not the nation, in points per game.”

KIRK HERBSTREIT

COLLEGE FOOTBALL ANALYST, ESPN COLLEGE GAMEDAY “Hugh Freeze has proven he can do more than recruit. Ole Miss has a bright future with him. I am really impressed, and they are young.”

MAURICE HARRIS

ASSISTANT COACH | TIGHT ENDS RECRUITING COORDINATOR FOR OFFENSE | 3RD SEASON

Maurice Harris returned to Ole Miss with Hugh Freeze as tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator for offense on Dec. 8, 2011. This marks Harris’ second stop at Ole Miss as he served as the Assistant Athletics Director for Internal Football Operations for the Rebels in 2006. Harris has helped develop sophomore Evan Engram into one of the best tight ends in school history and among the best in the nation right now. Engram has proven to be a mismatch for opposing defenses and a difference-maker, especially since the injuries to receivers Laquon Treadwell and Vince Sanders. A semifinalist for the John Mackey Award and an AllAmerica and All-SEC pick in 2014, Engram leads all SEC

tight ends with 651 yards receiving and tops the nation’s tight ends with 17.6 yards per catch. Engram’s 651 receiving yards are the most in a season by an Ole Miss tight end and his 919 career receiving yards total is the second-most all-time by an Ole Miss tight end. With uncertainty at the tight end position entering the 2013 season, Harris helped turn the question mark into an exclamation point with the play of a rookie Engram. Before going down with an ankle injury, Engram turned in one of the best seasons ever by a freshman receiver with 20 catches for 265 yards and three touchdowns. Despite missing half the season, he was honored by the AP with second team All-SEC honors, becoming one of the first two true freshmen in school history to be named All-SEC. In 2012, Harris worked to improve the tight ends unit, which recorded a combined 313 receiving yards, along with four touchdowns. They also provided blocking for a vastly improved Rebel offense that finished top five in the SEC and top 50 in the nation in scoring, total yards and passing yards. His efforts on the recruiting trail have helped Ole Miss land back-to-back top-15 signing classes, including the 2013 haul that was ranked as high as No. 2 in the nation by 247Sports. Harris was tabbed one of the top 50 recruiters in the nation by that media outlet in 2013. In 2011, Harris was part of an Arkansas State offense that led the Sun Belt conference in total offense (447.85 ypg) and scoring (32.46 ppg). His tight ends unit also helped an A-State rushing attack that ranked second in the conference in yards (154.23 ypg). During his time in Jonesboro, Harris coached All-Sun Belt Conference selections David Johnson, who was also drafted by the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers, and J.T. Jordan. Harris also helped develop Kedric Murry into a starting tight end for the Red Wolves as just a redshirt freshman in 2009, and Trevor Gillott ranked third on the team in receptions and set individual career-best marks last season under his watch. Murry continued to develop under Harris, recording career-high numbers for both receptions and touchdowns as a sophomore in 2010. Harris also mentored Jeff Blake as he made the move from fullback to tight end for his senior season last year. Blake became a big factor in ASU’s blocking attack that helped ASU post a schoolrecord 4,481 yards. During Harris’ first two seasons, the tight ends were responsible for 90 receptions for 1,166 yards and 12 touchdowns. His 2009 tight ends corps helped lead the way for 21 rushing touchdowns, the third-most in the Sun Belt

Conference, and paved the way for three different ASU players rushing for more than 100 yards in at least one game. The tight ends were a big part of ASU’s line that helped the offense to its most yards of total offense (484) against an FBS opponent since the 2007 season. The tight ends were also heavily involved in the ASU running game that ranked No. 18 in the nation and No. 2 in the Sun Belt Conference in 2008. Harris returned to his alma mater as tight ends coach after serving as Alabama State’s offensive coordinator and running backs coach during the 2007 season. Harris worked with Alabama State head coach Reggie Barlow to design the overall offensive game plan and calling plays. Harris helped the offense improve its total yards and points from the previous season and coached the Southwestern Athletic Conference’s leading rusher and MVP in Jay Peck. Prior to his return to Alabama State, where he also served as the running backs coach and recruiting coordinator from 2004-05, Harris spent the 2006 season at Ole Miss. During his first stint at Alabama State, Harris helped lead the football team to a 10-2 record in 2004 and the SWAC championship. In addition to his duties as a position coach, Harris was responsible for organizing and planning the Hornets’ recruiting strategy. Harris was a four-year letterman at Arkansas State, including the 1996 season when he recorded a teamhigh 100 tackles from his safety position. After earning his bachelor’s degree from ASU in 1998, he went to Whitehaven High School in Memphis, Tennessee, as an assistant coach. Harris headed Whitehaven’s offense, which was tops in the area, and improved its yardage by more than 100 yards per game from the previous season. He was promoted to head coach at Whitehaven two years later and was named West Tennessee Coach of the Year in 2001 after leading his team to the city and region championships in 2001. He followed the 2001 campaign with another city title in 2002 and was named assistant coach in two all-star games. He was named head coach for the Liberty Bowl High School All-Star Game in Tennessee. During his three seasons as head coach at Whitehaven, Harris posted a 23-12 record and had 32 players sign scholarships to play college football. Harris and his wife, LaQuesha, have two children, Arami, Cortlynn, and a Godson, DeVonte’.

passing offense (275.6 ypg) in 2014. The Rebels set a school record with four straight games boasting a 100-yard receiver, a stretch that included 100-yard receiving games from a trio of wide receivers in Laquon Treadwell, Vince Sanders and Cody Core. Ole Miss was the only SEC school to place three receivers in the top 12 in touchdown catches, led by Sanders and Core with six each, followed by Treadwell with five. Sanders moved up to ninth in school history with 11 career touchdown catches and 17th with 107 career receptions. Treadwell was on his way to a record-breaking season before suffering a broken leg and dislocated ankle against Auburn. Despite the injury, he still ranked among the SEC’s best in receptions per game (5.3) and receiving yards per game (70.2). In just two seasons, he ranks 13th in school history with 120 career receptions and tied for seventh with three career 100-yard receiving games. Ole Miss wide receivers flourished in 2013 as Treadwell (5.58) and Moncrief (4.42) each ranked inside the top eight of the SEC in receptions per game, and Moncrief was No. 6 in the SEC in receiving yards per game (68.8). As a team, Ole Miss broke school records for total offense (473.3 ypg), pass completions (310) and pass attempts (490) in 2013. The Rebels ranked third in the SEC in passing offense (283.3 ypg) and fifth in total offense, while finishing top 25 in the NCAA in both categories. Treadwell, the 2013 SEC Freshman of the Year, had the best rookie campaign by an Ole Miss receiver in program history, setting freshman records in catches (67), receiving yards (557) and touchdown catches (5). Treadwell led all freshman receivers in the SEC in catches, yards and touchdowns and broke the Ole Miss freshman record with nine catches at Vanderbilt in his first game wearing a Rebel uniform. Moncrief declared for the NFL Draft after his junior year and finished his career in the top three in school history in catches, yards and touchdowns by a receiver. He was selected by the Indianapolis Colts with the 90th overall pick (third round). In 2012, with many of the same faces at receiver as the previous year, Heard helped turn the Rebel offense around, improving the team’s passing average from 173.3 yards per game in 2011 to 249.9 in 2012. Heard also helped turn Moncrief into a superstar during his sophomore campaign, as he averaged 75.3 yards per game (fifth-best in the SEC) with 10 touchdowns, tying the school record for TD catches in a season.

Heard helped Arkansas State to a record-breaking year in 2011 led by his star pupil, Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Year Ryan Aplin. The junior quarterback established school single-season records for total offense and passing yards per game while ranking No. 10 in the nation in total offense. Heard’s passing attack ranked 16th in the nation, and the Red Wolves were 24th in total offense en route to a Sun Belt championship and an appearance in the GoDaddy.com Bowl. Heard spent the 2008 and 2009 seasons as the offensive coordinator at Lambuth. During the 2008 campaign, the Eagles offense accumulated 5,861 yards while becoming the No. 1 offense in NAIA. Lambuth finished third in the nation in scoring offense and fourth in passing efficiency. A wide receiver during his collegiate career (19962000), Heard helped lead Ole Miss to four bowl games and graduated as the Rebels’ all-time leader in career receptions and touchdowns. He earned his bachelor’s degree in 2001. Following his college days, Heard was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2002 and sent to play in NFL Europe. In 2001, he appeared in several preseason games for the San Francisco 49ers. Heard began his coaching career as the quarterbacks, wide receivers and special teams coach at Jackson (Miss.) Preparatory High School in 2002 before moving on to Hargrave Military Academy where he coached wide receivers and helped them to an 8-1 record in 2003. He joined the college ranks in 2004 as offensive graduate assistant at N.C. State. He returned to Ole Miss as offensive graduate assistant in 2005-06, when he assisted in coaching the receivers and tight ends. He tutored future NFL players Mike Wallace, Shay Hodge, Marshay Green, Mike Espy and Taye Biddle. Heard spent the 2007 season with Western Michigan coaching the Broncos’ wide receivers. He mentored First Team All-MAC honoree Jamarko Simmons, the 15thranked receiver in the nation, and the receiving corps gained over 3,000 yards and scored 23 touchdowns. Heard is married to the former Renata Nowacki, who was a four-year letterwinner on the Ole Miss volleyball team (1997-2000), and the couple has one son, Jayden. Heard’s brother Ronnie was also a standout for the Rebel football team and currently serves as Associate Director of Development for the Ole Miss Athletics Foundation.

Golson’s nine interceptions are one shy of tying the Ole Miss single-season record and moving into the top 10 alltime in SEC history. Cornerback Mike Hilton is the Rebels’ leading tackler with 66 tackles, to go along with 4.0 tackles for loss, three interceptions and four pass break-ups. Tony Conner, who plays the hybrid Huskie position, earned All-SEC honors after being named a Freshman AllAmerican in 2013. He tops all SEC defensive backs with 9.0 TFLs this year. In his first year with the Ole Miss cornerbacks, Jones helped teach a young and exciting unit that allowed 31 fewer passing yards per game (215.5 ypg) than a year earlier (246.5 ypg). Despite a number of injuries to the team’s corners, Jones helped guide Golson and Hilton to strong seasons. Jones arrived in Oxford after five seasons at Oklahoma State, where his teams amassed a 49-16 record. In his time in Stillwater, Jones coached three different Cowboy corners to first team All-Big 12 honors and a pair of Thorpe Award semifinalists in Perrish Cox (2009) and Brodrick Brown (2011). Cox was a first team All-American in 2009, as well. With Jones serving as position coach, Cox led the nation in passes defended per game in 2009 and Brown ranked third in the same category in 2011. As a team, OSU led the

nation with 44 turnovers forced in 2011 and was fifth with 34 in 2010. Jones also helped develop former high school QB Justin Gilbert, who became the eighth overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft as a cornerback. As a unit, the Oklahoma State defense was among the nation’s most opportunistic from 2009-12, as the Cowboys forced 130 turnovers to rank second nationally in that span. Jones came to Stillwater from Tulsa, where he served as cornerbacks coach and special teams coordinator in 2007. He helped the Golden Hurricane to a 10-4 record, an appearance in the Conference USA championship game, and a 63-7 win over Bowling Green in the 2008 GMAC Bowl. Success has followed Jones at each of his coaching stops. In 2006, Jones served as the cornerbacks coach at Rice University, helping the Owls to their first bowl trip in 45 years as the Owls competed in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. In his first stint at Tulsa, Jones coached cornerbacks and helped the Golden Hurricane to a Conference USA championship and an appearence in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. With Jones leading the Tulsa secondary in 2005, the Hurricane defense ranked third nationally in takeaways (36) and interceptions (22) and was 11th nationally in pass efficiency defense and 17th in pass defense. Jones’ cornerbacks totaled 13 of those interceptions and had 29 passes defended. His first coaching job came as a graduate assistant at Alabama, where he helped his alma mater to an appearence in the Music City Bowl. Born Nov. 13, 1977, Jones is a 2001 graduate of the University of Alabama with a degree in financial planning. He was a two-year starter at defensive back for the Crimson Tide and was part of three bowl teams, an SEC West championship in 1996 and SEC championship in 1999. Jones earned a master’s degree from Alabama in sports management in 2005. He and his wife Kysha have three children, Andrew, Jace and Jarah.

top-five signing class that ranked as high as No. 2 by 247Sports. He was also tabbed one of the nation’s top 50 recruiters by 247Sports and helped the Rebels land a second straight top-15 class in 2014. Kiffin helped develop one of the deepest and most talented defensive lines in not only the SEC, but the nation in 2014. Ole Miss leads the nation in scoring defense (13.8) and fewest touchdowns allowed (18). The Rebels have held every opponent below their average scoring output. Ole Miss is tied for first in the SEC and ranks 10th nationally with 7.5 tackles for loss per game and upped its sack total from 20 in 2013 to 25 so far in 2014. Statistically, the unit is led by Freshman AllAmerican Marquis Haynes with 8.5 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks, which is tied for eighth in SEC and ranks third among the nation’s freshmen. A semifinalist for the Rotary Lombardi Award and an All-America pick by several outlets, Robert Nkemdiche continues to be a force inside, recording 3.0 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks and generating constant pressure in the backfield that has contributed to the Rebels leading the SEC and ranking ninth in the nation, forcing 28 turnovers. With Kiffin guiding him, Nkemdiche made a major impact on the defensive line in 2013 by ranking third on the team in tackles for loss (8.0) and second among SEC freshmen in TFLs per outing (0.73). Nkemdiche was named first team Freshman All-America and SEC All-Freshman. Kiffin helped coach a much-improved Rebel front line in his first year in Oxford. His unit helped Ole Miss rank first in the SEC and fourth nationally in tackles for loss (7.9/game) and second in the SEC and 11th nationally in sacks (2.9/game). Those numbers were dramatic improvements over 4.75 TFLs and 1.08 sacks per game in 2011. Under Kiffin, defensive end C.J. Johnson saw tremendous improvement from his rookie campaign as he recorded 6.5 sacks, tied for eighth-most in the SEC, versus just one sack in 2011. Nose tackle Issac Gross was named first team Freshman AllAmerica and SEC All-Freshman after he tallied 10.0 TFLs (second-most by an SEC freshman behind teammate Denzel Nkemdiche) and 2.5 sacks. Kiffin spent the previous season as Arkansas State’s defensive line coach.

The younger brother of former Southern Cal head coach and current Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin, and son of coaching legend Monte Kiffin, he helped coach an ASU defense that led the Sun Belt Conference in total defense (331.46 ypg), scoring defense (20.77 ppg) and ranked in the top 25 in the NCAA in both categories. Arkansas State also led the league and ranked eighth in the nation in tackles for loss (7.62 pg) and tied for 15th in the NCAA in QB sacks (2.69 pg). In 2011, Kiffin mentored Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year Brandon Joiner, who tied for third in the nation in sacks and 10th in TFLs. He also coached Dorvus Woods to second team all-conference honors. Kiffin joined the A-State coaching staff after serving as an administrative assistant for the USC defense in 2010. The Trojans finished the year 8-5 with a 28-14 victory over UCLA in Rose Bowl stadium. Prior to joining the staff at USC, Kiffin was in charge of offensive quality control at Nebraska from Feb. 2008 through Feb. 2010. During his two seasons at Nebraska, the Cornhuskers compiled 20-8 record and played in two bowl games, including a 33-0 victory over Arizona in the 2009 Holiday Bowl. Before Nebraska, Kiffin was a quality control intern with the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2006. During his time with the Bucs, Kiffin gained experience working with the defensive line during off-season OTAs and mini-camps. A four-year football letterman as a defensive tackle at Colorado State from 2000-05 under thenhead coach Sonny Lubick, Kiffin earned his bachelor’s degree from the school in 2005. Following his time at Colorado State, he was a student assistant at Idaho during the 2005 and 2006 campaigns. Chris and his wife, Angela, have three children: daughters, Grace and Taylor, and a son, Christian.

MATT LUKE

ASSISTANT HEAD COACH | OFFENSIVE LINE CO-OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR | 7TH SEASON

Ole Miss alum Matt Luke is in his third season as cooffensive coordinator and offensive line coach on Hugh Freeze’s staff and seventh season overall. Having to replace three starters due to graduation, Luke has helped this year’s Rebel squad rank seventh in the SEC in total offense (443.3 ypg) and tied for fifth in yards per play (6.33 ypp). The offensive line also helped the Rebels rank fourth in the SEC and 30th nationally in passing offense (275.6 ypg).

PERSONAL • Mentored All-American and two-time All-SEC pick Laremy Tunsil into one of the nation’s top offensive tackles. • At Duke, his offensive line ranked among the ACC’s top five in fewest sacks allowed throughout his tenure, including finishing third in 2009 and 2010. • Served at the recruiting coordinator at Tennessee where his 2007 class was rated third-best nationally by Rivals.com and fourth-best in the country by Scout.com. • Lettered four seasons (1995-98) as a center at Ole Miss. • Graduated in May of 2000 with a degree in business administration. • He and his wife, Ashley, have two sons, Harrison and Cooper.

Laremy Tunsil was named All-America by several outlets and won the second-ever Kent Hull Trophy, presented to the most outstanding offensive lineman in Mississippi. He played in and started every game at left tackle except two and gave up only sack this year. As a unit, the offensive line helped pave the way for Ole Miss to rack up 500 or more total yards in four games this season, including a season-high 640 total yards, the second-most in school history, against Presbyterian. In 2013, Luke helped oversee a Rebel offense that broke the school record for total offense (473.3 ypg). The Rebels ranked third in the SEC in passing offense (283.3 ypg) and fifth in total offense, while finishing top 25 in the NCAA in both categories. As a unit, the offensive line helped pave the way for the Rebels to rack up 500 or more total yards in five games, including a program-record 751 against Troy. His guidance of the offensive line included plugging in star freshman Tunsil to the starting lineup early in the 2013 season and seeing immediate results. One of only two true freshmen in the country to be a full-time starter at left tackle, Tunsil allowed just one sack while protecting quarterback Bo Wallace’s blind side. When Tunsil was named to the AP All-SEC second team, he became one of the first two true freshmen in school history to be tabbed All-SEC (along with TE Evan Engram). In his first season under Freeze, Luke helped Ole Miss improve in almost all offensive categories from the 2011 season, including total yards per game (281.3 in 2011 to 423.8 in 2012) and points per game (16.1 in 2011 to 31.5 in 2012). Luke developed an inexperienced offensive line into a unit that could hold its own in the SEC, as the Rebels ranked fifth in the league in rushing (173.9 ypg), up from 10th the previous year (129.6 ypg). A former Rebel player and assistant coach, Luke spent the previous four seasons as Duke’s offensive coordinator/running game while coaching the offensive line. His line ranked among the ACC’s top five in fewest sacks allowed throughout his tenure, including finishing third in 2009 and 2010. Luke’s 2010 offensive front helped Duke to its highest yards per game average since 1989 as Sean Renfree became the fourth quarterback in school history to throw for 3,000 or more yards in a single season. Nearly doubling its rushing totals from the previous year, the Blue Devil run game produced 19 touchdowns - Duke’s highest total since 1995 - and the squad repeated that total again in 2011. Behind All-ACC quarterback Thaddeus Lewis in 2009, Duke led the conference and finished ninth nationally in passing offense, while Lewis and wide receiver Donovan

Varner ranked first in the ACC in total offense and pass receptions, respectfully. Under Luke’s guidance, both guard Dave Harding and tackle Perry Simmons received Freshman All-America honors in 2010. In 2009, guard Brian Moore was a Freshman All-ACC pick by Sporting News. Luke came to Duke following two seasons at Tennessee where he served as recruiting coordinator while coaching the tight ends and assisting with the offensive line. During his two-year stay (2006-07) in Knoxville, the Volunteers went 19-8 with an SEC Eastern Division championship and two appearances in the Outback Bowl. In 2007, Tennessee tight end Chris Brown caught 41 passes for 282 yards and six touchdowns while fellow end Brad Cottam’s 31-yard touchdown reception proved to be the difference in the Vols’ 21-17 win over Wisconsin in the Outback Bowl. On the recruiting front, Tennessee’s 2007 class was rated third-best nationally by Rivals.com and fourth-best in the country by Scout.com. A native of Gulfport, Mississippi, Luke lettered four seasons (1995-98) as a center at Ole Miss. A starter in 33 career games for the Rebels, he served as team captain in 1998 as Ole Miss posted a 7-5 ledger and defeated Texas Tech in the Independence Bowl. He was named the 1998 Ole Miss Most Valuable Senior by the Jackson (Miss.) Touchdown Club and twice earned Academic All-SEC honors. Following his playing career, he served as a student assistant coach at Ole Miss in 1999, helping the Rebels to an 8-4 mark with regular-season wins against Auburn, South Carolina, LSU and Arkansas as well as a 27-25 triumph over Oklahoma in the Independence Bowl. He graduated in May 2000 with a degree in business administration. Luke then spent two years (2000-01) coaching the offensive line at Murray State before returning to his alma mater to guide the Rebel tight ends and offensive line for four seasons (2002-05). Ole Miss won two bowl games during that stretch, defeating Nebraska in the Independence Bowl to close the 2002 season and upending Oklahoma State in the Cotton Bowl a year later to cap a 10-3 campaign that included a share of the SEC Western Division championship. Luke is married to the former Ashley Grantham of Oxford, Miss., and the couple has two sons, Harrison and Cooper. His father, Tommy, was a defensive back at Ole Miss in the 1960s while his brother, Tom, quarterbacked the Rebels from 1989-91. Tom is also on the Ole Miss football staff as assistant athletics director for player development.

DERRICK NIX

ASSISTANT COACH | RUNNING BACKS 7TH SEASON

Derrick Nix is in his seventh year as Ole Miss’ running backs coach and third as a member of Hugh Freeze’s staff. At Ole Miss, Nix has tutored three of the most productive backs in school history in Dexter McCluster, Brandon Bolden and Jeff Scott, while the Rebels have ranked top three in the SEC in rushing twice. With a variety of running backs with different styles and strengths at his disposal, Nix has helped this year’s Ole Miss squad rank seventh in the SEC in total offense (443.3 ypg) and tied for fifth in yards per play (6.33 ypp). The Rebels topped 500 yards of total offense in four games this season and 150 yards rushing in seven games. Jaylen Walton emerged as the leader of the group, rushing for 583 yards and averaging a career-best 5.9 yards per carry. He rushed for a career-high 148 yards

DERRICK NIX BREAKDOWN COACHING CAREER • 2008-Pres....... Ole Miss • 2007 ............... Atlanta Falcons • 2004-06.......... Southern Miss • 2003 ............... Southern Miss^ ^served as graduate assistant

PERSONAL • Has coached record-setting Rebel running backs Brandon Bolden, Dexter McCluster and Jeff Scott. • 2002 graduate of Southern Miss with a bachelor’s degree in sports administration. • First running back in Southern Miss and C-USA history to rush for 1,000 yards or more in three seasons. • Selected as C-USA Freshman of the Year and first team Freshman All-American in 1998. • Three-time all-conference selection. • Married to the former Allison Story.

and finished with a career-high 203 all-purpose yards in the Egg Bowl win over Mississippi State. Walton was one of three 100-yard rushers this season, along with Jordan Wilkins and Mark Dodson, who accomplished the feat against Presbyterian, the first time Ole Miss had a pair of 100-yard rushers since 2010. In 2013, Nix helped the Ole Miss offense rank top five in the SEC and top 25 nationally in total offense (473.3 ypg), which also broke the school record. Led by a bevvy of talented rushers, the Ole Miss ground game was a headache for many opposing defenses to try and stop. Scott averaged 61.6 yards per game in eight contests before going down with injury. In his stead, young backs I’Tavius Mathers and Walton each played well, setting respective career highs for rushing yards in a game and each topping the 100-yard plateau in a game. Walton, a threat on runs, catches and returns, ranked ninth in the SEC with 111.8 all-purpose yards per league game. In 2012, Nix helped Scott, who finished the season with career-best totals of 846 yards and six touchdowns, develop into more of a feature back while the Rebel run game increased its average by 40 yards from 2011 to 2012. The Rebels finished fifth in the SEC with 173.8 rushing yards per game. Nix also helped with Randall Mackey’s transition from quarterback to running back, where as a senior Mackey ran for 325 yards and four touchdowns while also lining up at slot receiver. The Nix backfield stable helped Ole Miss register the third-best ground game in the SEC in 2010 (207.58 ypg), while Bolden ranked No. 5 in the league in rushing (976 yards). A Nix pupil for the duration of his career, Bolden finished second in school history in both total touchdowns (33) and rushing TDs (27), third in all-purpose yards (3,681) and fourth in rushing yards (2,604). In 2009, McCluster became the first player in SEC history with 1,000 rushing yards (1,169) and 500 receiving yards (520) in the same season. The first team AllAmerican recorded the second-highest rushing total in school history and went on to be drafted in the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. In his first season with the Rebels, Nix helped construct a running attack that ranked second in the SEC. Using a balanced attack, the Rebels featured three rushers that piled up at least 500 rushing yards in McCluster (655), Cordera Eason (647) and Bolden (542). McCluster was also named a second team All-SEC selection as an all-purpose player. Before arriving in Oxford, Nix spent 2007 in the NFL as offensive assistant and quality control coach for the Atlanta Falcons.

Nix, one of the best-known players to ever wear a Southern Miss uniform, began his four-year stint on the Golden Eagles 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 100yard 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. The Attalla, Alabama, native was born Feb. 22, 1980 and is a 2002 Southern Miss graduate with a bachelor’s degree in sports administration. Nix is married to the former Allison Story of Frankfort, Kentucky, who also attended USM and played forward on the women’s basketball team.

worked alongside Freeze on the Rebels’ offensive staff in 2006 and 2007. Under Werner’s tutelage, quarterback Bo Wallace broke Ole Miss school records for total offensive yards (10,383), 300-yard passing games (11), completion percentage (63.4) and pass efficiency (142.5) and improved to 24-14 as the Rebels’ starting quarterback. In just three years as starter, he ranks in the SEC’s top 10 all-time in total offense and passing yards. Wallace has been named a semifinalist for the Maxwell Award and Davey O’Brien Award after passing for 22 touchdowns and putting up more gaudy stats in 2014. He ranks second in the SEC in passing offense (257.1 ypg) and total offense (274.8). He also ranks third in completion percentage (61.2), fifth in passing touchdowns (22) and fifth in pass efficiency (147.7). Behind Wallace, Ole Miss ranks seventh in the SEC in total offense (443.3 ypg) and tied for fifth in yards per play (6.33 ypp). The Rebels also rank fourth in the SEC and 30th nationally in passing offense (275.6 ypg). Wallace excelled in 2013 under the leadership and guidance of Werner, who was a nominee for the Broyles Award, which is given annually to the nation’s top assistant coach. Wallace finished third in the SEC and 26th nationally with 257.4 yards per game passing, and was also third in the SEC and 26th nationally in total offense with 284.7 yards per game. As a unit, the Ole Miss offense again scored more than 30 points per game. Ole Miss broke school records for total offense (473.3 ypg), pass completions (310) and pass attempts (490). The Rebels ranked third in the SEC in passing offense (283.3 ypg) and fifth in total offense, while finishing top 25 in the NCAA in both categories. In 2012, Werner helped turn around a Rebel offense that ranked at or near the bottom of the SEC in every statistical category in 2011 to rank top five in the SEC and top 50 in the nation in scoring, total offense and passing. Wallace shined in his first year under Werner’s tutelage. The 2012 Conerly Trophy winner ranked fifth in the SEC and 45th in the NCAA in total offense (260.3 ypg), fourth in the SEC in points responsible for (14.3/game) and fifth in passing (230.3 ypg). In his first stint in Oxford, Werner’s offense fueled BenJarvus Green-Ellis to a record-breaking two-year run. The future NFL running back became only the second player in school history to reach the 1,000-yard single-season mark twice, and he ended his tenure No. 5 on the Rebels’ career rushing list. As quarterbacks coach, Werner developed Seth Adams from a walk-on to the SEC’s seventh-ranked passer with 1,979 yards in 2007. That season also saw future NFL receivers Mike Wallace and Shay Hodge each haul in six TD passes, while Dexter McCluster and Marshay Green were key offensive weapons. Werner boasts three decades of coaching experience, including a total of eight years in two terms at the University of Miami when he tutored outstanding quarterbacks and directed some of the best offenses in college football.

Werner helped Miami to eight bowls, four national championship games and three national titles during his combined tenure. He also played an integral part in the development of several of the Hurricanes’ greatest QBs, including 2001 Maxwell Award winner Ken Dorsey, 1992 Heisman Trophy winner Gino Torretta and Heisman candidates Steve Walsh and Craig Erickson. The Miami passing game flourished under Werner’s guidance. In 2001 and 2002, Dorsey posted totals impressive enough to place high in voting for the Heisman Trophy both years. In 2004, he tutored Brock Berlin to a resurgence, as Berlin moved into the Miami record book with single-season rankings of ninth in passing yards, seventh in touchdown passes and 10th in total offense. Over his last five seasons (2001-05) at Miami, Hurricanes quarterbacks threw for more than 14,500 yards and 114 touchdowns under Werner, giving balance to an offensive philosophy predicated on equality between the run and the pass. The 2005 Canes finished 9-3 and ranked third in the Atlantic Coast Conference in scoring offense (27.1) and pass efficiency (133.6). Werner’s second stint in Coral Gables was preceded by a spectacular 2000 season as offensive coordinator at Murray State. He built the Racers offense into one of the most potent on the FCS level, as the team ranked 11th nationally in total offense (452 yards per game) and 13th nationally in passing yardage (276 yards per game). Prior to his lone season at Murray State, Werner was an offensive consultant to Auburn head coach Tommy Tuberville during the 1999 season. Before the job at Auburn, Werner was an assistant coach at James Madison University for four seasons from 1995-98. He began his tenure at JMU as assistant head coach/quarterback coach/passing game coordinator in 1995. In 1997 he was promoted to offensive coordinator/assistant head coach. From 1991-94 Werner coached at Louisiana Tech, where he was an assistant coach in charge of running backs and inside receivers. In 1993 he was promoted to offensive coordinator/quarterback coach. Werner joined the coaching staff at UNLV in the spring of 1990. At UNLV, he was an assistant coach in charge of quarterbacks. In the fall of 1990, Werner left the college game for one season to serve as offensive line coach at Miami’s Southridge High School.

turnovers, including 19 interceptions, the most in the SEC and fourth-most in the nation. The Rebels are tied for first in the SEC and rank 10th nationally with 7.5 tackles for loss per game. The defense has also been dominant in key situations. Ole Miss is tied for first nationally, giving up only 12 touchdowns in opponents’ 32 red zone attempts, and leads the SEC and ranks 11th nationally, limiting opponents to 31.2 percent conversions on third down. Among his safeties, Cody Prewitt became a two-time AllAmerican and All-SEC pick this season from his free safety position. As a unit, the Ole Miss defense continued its improvement in 2013, allowing four fewer points per game (23.7) than it did the previous year and ranking top 40 nationally in scoring defense, total defense and pass defense. Under Wommack, Prewitt enjoyed one of the best seasons of any defensive back in the country. He was selected first team All-America and All-SEC after leading the league and tying for seventh nationally with six interceptions. He topped the Ole Miss defense with 13 passes defended and was second with 71 tackles. After ranking last in the SEC in total defense in 2011 (419.3 ypg), Ole Miss improved to seventh (375.9 ypg) in Wommack’s first year in Oxford. Following a 38-17 BBVA Compass Bowl win over Pitt, the Rebels finished the 2012 season first in the SEC and fourth nationally in tackles for loss (7.9/game) and second in the SEC and 11th nationally in sacks (2.9/game), dramatic improvements from 2011 (4.75 TFLs and 1.08 sacks per game). Wommack, a native of Kimberling City, Missouri, has spent 14 years as a secondary coach and also serves as the Rebels’ safeties coach. The 1999, 2000 and 2011 Broyles Award nominee has coached on nine teams that won a conference championship and also participated in trips to the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs in 1989 and 1990. He boasts 18 years of experience as a defensive coordinator, also holding the position at Georgia Tech, Arkansas, Southern Miss, UNLV, Missouri State and Bemidji State. In 2011, Wommack led an Arkansas State defense that led the Sun Belt Conference in total defense (331.46 ypg) and scoring defense (20.77 ppg) and ranked in the top 25 in the NCAA in both categories. Arkansas State also led the league and ranked eighth in the nation in tackles for loss (7.62 pg) and tied for 15th in QB sacks (2.69 pg). He also helped coach four defensive players to first team All-Sun Belt conference honors and three more players to second team all-conference honors, including Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year Brandon Joiner. Before going to Arkansas State, Wommack spent the 2008 and 2009 seasons as defensive coordinator at Georgia Tech, helping lead the Yellow Jackets to the 2009 ACC championship and a trip to the Orange Bowl. Georgia Tech’s defense was ranked No. 28 in the nation his first year at the school when the Yellow Jackets were ACC Coastal Division co-champions and appeared in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. He coached three defensive players that went on to play in the NFL, including defensive back Morgan Burnett, defensive end Derrick Morgan and defensive lineman Michael Johnson. Wommack spent two different stints at Southern Miss, the last in 2007 as linebackers coach when the Golden Eagles ranked first in scoring defense and second in total defense in

Conference USA and played in the PapaJohns.com Bowl. He also coached future NFL player Gerald McGrath in 2007. His first stop in Hattiesburg covered the 1994-2000 seasons, leading a Southern Miss defense that ranked among the top eight in the nation his final two years as defensive coordinator. While he was defensive coordinator for both the 1999 and 2000 seasons, he was also elevated to assistant head coach in 2000. The Golden Eagles ranked eighth in the nation in total defense in 1999 and won the Liberty Bowl. The 2000 squad won the GMAC Bowl while ranking second in the nation in total defense. He coached the Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year both seasons, Cedric Scott in 2000 and Adalius Thomas in 1999. He was the Golden Eagles’ defensive backs coach from 1994-98, tutoring five future NFL players that were among a secondary that consistently ranked in the top 20 in the nation. The Golden Eagles ranked first in the nation in turnovers gained in 1994 and fourth in 1995. The 1996 team ranked first in Conference USA in turnovers and the 1997 team ranked first in the league in scoring defense, total defense and pass defense. The 1998 squad ranked 18th in the nation in total defense and 22nd in scoring defense. Following his initial seven years at Southern Miss, Wommack spent 2001-04 at Arkansas before joining the South Carolina staff for the 2005 and 2006 seasons. His first year with the Razorbacks, Wommack was the defensive backs coach before being elevated to defensive coordinator his final three seasons at the school. He was a part of three bowl teams at Arkansas that competed in the Cotton Bowl, Independence Bowl and Music City Bowl. The 2002 team won the SEC West division. During his time as Arkansas’ defensive coordinator, the Razorbacks led the SEC in turnovers (2002 and 2003) and ranked second in the SEC in rushing defense (2002) and third in sacks (2002) and red zone defense (2002). The 2003 squad also ranked 21st in the nation in pass defense and 36th in total defense. He coached three NFL players, including Caleb Miller, Ken Hamblin and Ahmad Carroll. Wommack coached defensive backs and outside linebackers for two years (2005-06) at South Carolina before returning to Southern Miss for the 2007 season.

administration DR. DANIEL W. JONES | CHANCELLOR From an early age, Dr. Daniel W. Jones knew his career aspirations would revolve around medicine and service. It was years later that his passion for leadership also surfaced. Success in each area ultimately led to Jones’ appointment as the 16th chancellor of the University of Mississippi, an honor that was no surprise to anyone familiar with his record at the UM Medical Center in Jackson and the American Heart Association. Jones became chancellor on July 1, 2009, and oversees the campuses in Oxford, Jackson, Southaven, Tupelo and Grenada. As vice chancellor for health affairs and dean of the School of Medicine from 2003 to his appointment as chancellor, Jones served as the Medical Center’s chief executive officer, overseeing five academic divisions 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 just five years. The team also led a campaign that raised $53 million, expanded the medical school’s first-year class from 100 to 120 students 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 the completion of the Arthur G. 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 the university’s medical school and completed his residency in internal medicine there in 1978. He had a private practice in Laurel, then went to Korea in 1985 to fulfill a passion for health care service to the under-served. He returned to the 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. Heading the only large-scale study of cardiovascular risk factors in African-Americans, Jones had to overcome the reluctance of many in the African-American community to participate in research. He also had to build consensus among the three participating institutions: UMMC, Jackson State University and Tougaloo College. Neither JSU nor Tougaloo had collaborated in such a massive undertaking. Jones has a passion for volunteer service and since becoming chancellor has encouraged all UM employees to engage in community service. In addition to his service in Korea, he began volunteering for the American Heart Association more than 20 years ago and served as 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. The chancellor is married to Lydia Channell Jones, whom he met in a freshman zoology class at Mississippi College. They have two children, Jennifer Jones Flechas of Columbia, South Carolina, and Jason Jones of Clinton.

ROSS BJORK | ATHLETICS DIRECTOR Ross Bjork was announced on March 21, 2012 as the seventh full-time Director of Athletics at Ole Miss. Bjork, 41, is the youngest AD among power five conference institutions and came off a successful stint in that post at Western Kentucky University. In two short years, Bjork’s tenure with the Rebels has produced energetic hires, structural progress, team success and a new spirit surrounding Ole Miss Athletics. Bjork set the tone early by hiring two of the country’s top rising coaches in their sports in Brian O’Neal (track and field) and Matt Insell (women’s basketball) and has since brought Steven McRoberts (volleyball), Mike Smith (softball) and Chris Malloy (men’s golf) on board, while promoting Toby Hansson, one of college tennis’ best assistant coaches, to head men’s coach. He also appointed three executive level administrators for external relations, academic support and facilities/game operations. The external relations post was a new umbrella position at the center of Bjork’s reorganization of that area of Ole Miss Athletics, including the Foundation, ticket operations, marketing and communications and the relationship with Ole Miss Sports Properties. Progress has continued in that division with the rebranding of the Ole Miss Athletics Foundation and a partnership with new multi-media rightsholder, IMG Properties. Bjork also created the unit for Health and Sports Performance, which combined sports medicine, strength and conditioning, nutrition and counseling services and added a local orthopedic sports medicine component that provides primary sports medicine care for all student-athletes. Bjork’s vision in facilities has resulted in a development plan for the Manning Center, which was recently renamed to honor Olivia and Archie Manning. Projects include the Grill at 1810 (a full service dining facility), the Williams-Reed Football Foyer, Burns team meeting room, VanDevender Family locker room, weight room, player lounge and visuals throughout the complex. The $12.5 million renovation was completed in phases and is ready for 2014-15. Ole Miss has enjoyed unprecedented support under Bjork. New single-season records for football attendance and season ticket sales were established in 2013 and shattered again in 2014 while the stadium was sold out of season tickets. During the 2012-13 season, 810,000 fans attended home events,

with football and baseball recording the second-best attendance seasons in school history and men’s basketball posting sevenstraight sellouts for the first time ever. The athletics budget has risen from $62 to $75 million, and the Forward Together capital campaign has risen from $62 to $125 million in cash and pledges toward its goal of $150 million. Campaign plans include a new basketball arena to open during the 2015-16 season, an expansion plan for Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, renovation of the Gillom Center, FedEx Academic Support Center and Starnes Athletic Training Center, as well as other future projects. Bjork’s leadership has also translated to immediate success in the competitive arena. After a two-year postseason drought, the Rebel football team has earned bowl berths in each of its first three seasons under Hugh Freeze. The staff also assembled a top-five recruiting class, the highest ranked in school history. Other highlights include the first College World Series appearance in 42 years, as the baseball team reached the final four in Omaha and captured the SEC Western Division title in 2014. In 2013, men’s basketball claimed the SEC Tournament Championship and the school’s first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2002. Baseball and men’s hoops are among eight Rebel programs to earn postseason berths under Bjork’s watch, along with soccer, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, women’s golf, men’s track and women’s track. Bjork’s reign has also featured a pair of national championships, as Sam Kendricks took home the pole vault title at both the 2013 and 2014 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. The 2013 SEC West champion men’s tennis team also vied for a national title, as the doubles team of Nic Scholtz and Jonas Lutjen advanced to the final four. Men’s outdoor track & field registered a program-best eighth-place finish at the 2013 NCAA Championships, while men’s tennis finished top-10 in the national polls. Off the field, Bjork’s emphasis on academics resulted in a record 2.88 GPA among the student-athlete population in 201314, and he has established a goal of 3.0 moving forward. In the community, student-athletes participated in more than 20 service projects, and even bigger plans are on the horizon. Throughout his career, Bjork has placed a great importance on diversity, and in 2013, the athletics department partnered with the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation to establish a Racial Reconciliation Week which took place during the 2013 football season. Bjork’s first full week at the post in 2012 was spent on the inaugural Rebel Road Trip, a six-day, 16-stop tour of the region that served to unite the Rebel fanbase. In the first three years of the tour, Bjork and Co., have visited more than 10,000 fans.

At WKU, Bjork made a midseason coaching change with the men’s basketball program, and the Hilltoppers went on to capture the 2012 Sun Belt Conference Tournament title and advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Women’s Volleyball won the conference regular season and tournament in 2011 and reached the NCAA tournament each of his last two years, while men’s and women’s cross country each won conference team titles in 2011. Women’s swimmer Claire Donahue finished second in the nation in the 100 yard butterfly, the highest finish in the program’s history, and then won a pair of gold medals at the 2011 Pan American Games to become the only WKU athlete to ever claim Pan Am gold. WKU’s football program posted the greatest one-season improvement in conference wins in the history of the Sun Belt in posting a 7-1 league mark and second-place conference finish. WKU football also signed the conference’s top recruiting class each of his last two seasons. WKU’s soccer program also reached the Sun Belt Conference tournament championship game in 2011 before falling in overtime in their bid to achieve the program’s first ever NCAA Tournament berth. During his tenure, each of WKU’s men’s and women’s athletic teams exceeded the NCAA required 925 Academic Progress Report Rate (APR), and WKU had more individuals honored for their academic achievements by the Sun Belt Conference than any other institution in 2011-12. For the first time in program history, the overall cumulative average GPA was over 3.0 for all 391 student-athletes and 228 maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. Ten of the university’s 15 athletic programs posted a cumulative team GPA of 3.0 or better. Bjork has an extensive career in intercollegiate athletics with two decades of experience as an administrator and student-athlete, having worked on the senior staffs at UCLA, the University of Miami and the University of Missouri. He began his administrative career at WKU as an Assistant Development Coordinator in 1996-97. Bjork is a native of Dodge City, Kan., and received his bachelor’s degree in recreation administration from Emporia State University in 1995 where he was a two-year starter at fullback. He earned a master’s degree in athletic administration from Western Illinois University in December 1996. Bjork has quickly established a leadership role in the SEC by being appointed as Chair of the awards committee and selected to the NCAA basketball issues committee and the NCAA recruiting cabinet. He and his wife, Sonya, have two boys: Payton (8) and Paxton (4).

bowl history

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 outplayed, 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., where they defeated Marshall 34-31. 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. Ole Miss went 4-1 in the five bowl games it played in under Cutcliffe as head coach, including three victories in the Independence Bowl, and one victory in the Cotton Bowl (2004). Ole Miss returned to the Cotton Bowl in 2009 and 2010 under Houston Nutt, who led the Rebels to 47-34 and 21-7 victories, respectively. Hugh Freeze is the first coach in school history to guide the Rebels to bowl appearances in each of his first three years at the helm. Ole Miss defeated Pittsburgh 38-17 in the BBVA Compass Bowl on Jan. 5, 2013, followed by a 25-17 win over Georgia Tech in the Music City Bowl on Dec. 30, 2013. Ole Miss will play in the very first “New Year’s Six” bowl selected by the College Football Playoff committee when it matches up with TCU in the 2014 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. The Rebels have won six straight bowl games, which is tied with Florida State for the longest active streak in the nation. Editor’s Note: Most of this section on Ole Miss’ Bowl History was compiled and written by the late Billy Gates. Gates served as Sports Information Director at Ole Miss for 35 years until his death on Nov. 5, 1976. While serving as SID at Ole Miss, he helped promote 29 Rebels to All-America status in the sport of football and was a charter member of the CoSIDA Hall of Fame.

bowl history LEGENDARY COACH GUIDED REBELS TO 18 BOWL APPEARANCES, SIX SEC CROWNS AND THREE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS John Howard Vaught left an indelible mark on Southern football during his 24+ seasons as the head coach at Ole Miss. Vaught's first 24 teams won 185 games, lost 58 and tied 12, and that record -- up to the time of his heart seizure in October of 1970 -- was second-best nationally among active major college coaches. He returned as the Rebels' head coach three games into the 1973 season when asked to replace Billy Kinard. Ole Miss went 5-3 during the remaining eight games to finish the year 6-5. When Vaught finally stepped down for good, his overall coaching record at the University of Mississippi stood at 190-61-12. Vaught's teams won six Southeastern Conference championships from 1947-70 and only one other coach in the league had claimed that many titles at that time. He was selected SEC Coach of the Year six times by the Associated Press, twice by United Press International, and twice by the Nashville Banner. In 1993, he was chosen by Ole Miss fans as the "Coach of the Century" (1893-1993) when the University of Mississippi celebrated the school's first 100 years of football. He raised Ole Miss football from ninth in the then-12 member Southeastern Conference in 1947, to third in all-time SEC standing. Vaught's 1959 machine, which finished 10-1 and gave up only three touchdowns all year, emerged with SEC Team of the Decade (1950-59) accolades by way of an Associated Press poll. That squad was also selected by the Sagarin Ratings as the third highest rated college football team from 1956 to 1995. He developed 18 first team All-American players and countless players who gained All-Southeastern and All-South recognition. Three of his teams -- 1959, 1960, and 1962 -- are recognized in the official NCAA record book as being selected national champions by at least one rating system. The 1959 team was named national champion by Berryman, Billingsley, Dunkle, and Sagarin, while the 1960 squad was recognized as the national champion by the Football Writers (Grantland Rice Trophy), DeVold, Dunkle, Football Research, National Championship Foundation, and Williamson). The 1962 Rebels, which finished with a perfect 10-0 record, was chosen national champs by the Litkenhouse Ratings. In results against Southeastern Conference members, Vaught was 2-4 against Alabama, 3-2 against Auburn, 4-2 against Florida, 4-3 against Georgia, 18-8-1 against Kentucky, 15-7-3

against LSU, 19-2-4 against Mississippi State, 13-7 against Tennessee, 15-3 against Tulane and 16-4-2 against Vanderbilt. Vaught left a legacy of 14 consecutive bowl games, a national record at that time, and 18 of his teams participated in post-season classics in New Orleans, Dallas, Jacksonville, Houston, Memphis and El Paso. At one point, his Rebels held two Sugar Bowl records -- most appearances with eight and most victories with five. Including the 1971 Gator Bowl loss (28-35) to Auburn, with Vaught watching on TV from his home and Archie Manning handicapped by the brace protecting his broken arm, the Ole Miss Bowl record under Vaught was 10-8. Manning was the last of a number of spectacular quarterbacks developed by Vaught. The first Rebel hero under Vaught was Charlie Conerly, who played in the last year of the Notre Dame system on the Ole Miss campus. That was 1947, Vaught's first season as the Rebel head-master, and Conerly set a national record with 133 completions and 18 touchdown passes. Also on that team was end Barney Poole, who set a new national record with 52 catches, 44 from Conerly. The Rebels won the first of their six SEC crowns that autumn. Quarterbacks Farley Salmon, Rocky Byrd, Jimmy Lear, Eagle Day, Ray Brown, Bobby Franklin, Jake Gibbs, Doug Elmore, Glynn Griffing, Perry Lee Dunn and Jim Weatherly were other great Rebel performers. The name of the game with Johnny Vaught football was "excitement." Born on May 6, 1909 in Olney, Texas, and a graduate of Polytechnic High School in Fort Worth, Vaught played that way as a football collegian at Texas Christian University in 193032. He was All-America at guard in 1932, captain of a Southwest Conference championship team that season, and was All-SWC for two seasons. Vaught served as a line coach at North Carolina with Ray "Bear" Wolf from 1936-41. As a Lt. Commander in the Naval Preflight program during World War II, he was stationed at North Carolina in 1942 and Corpus NAS in 1945, serving at those stations as line coach in football. And as line coach with Harold "Red" Drew at Ole Miss in 1946, he was Drew's chief assistant and took over as head coach when Drew returned to Alabama in January, 1947, to replace the ailing Frank Thomas. Vaught's unexcelled record of excellence followed, starting in 1947. Vaught was one of the great innovators in American college football. He altered shift patterns in the old Notre Dame box style

Legendary Ole Miss head coach John Vaught was on hand to help honor former Ole Miss QB Eagle Day in a pregame ceremony prior to the 2003 home game versus Texas Tech. Day was recognized for his induction into the SBC Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame. Day led Vaught’s 1955 team to a 14-13 win over TCU in the 1956 Cotton Bowl. Representing the Cotton Bowl was Larry Cantrell (left) and John Scovell (right).

to station Conerly at tailback for all action, with the right halfback utilized as a flanker or in motion. A year later, he introduced Split-T football to the Deep South. Thereafter, he pioneered in roll-out and sprint-out pressure out of the Wing-T and was among the first college coaches to utilize the "I" and Power-I formations. Vaught football at Ole Miss became the model for many college and high school mentors. His 24+ years as a college head coach produced a record that ranks among the most productive at any institution across the nation ... in any era.

Vaught Led Rebels To 1956 and 1962 Cotton Bowl Appearances During his legendary career at Ole Miss, John Vaught led Ole Miss to 18 bowl appearances, including two trips to the prestigious Cotton Bowl. Vaught’s Rebels made trips to Dallas for the 1956 game versus TCU and for the 1962 contest against Texas. Ole Miss defeated the Horned Frogs 14-13 and fell to the Longhorns 12-7. The 1956 win over TCU was Ole Miss’ first major bowl win in four attempts. The Rebels lost 20-19 to Catholic University, a major college football power at the time from Washington D.C., in the 1936 Orange Bowl, and dropped 24-7 and 21-0 contests to Georgia Tech and Navy, respectively, in the 1953 and 1955 Sugar Bowls. In the 1956 Cotton Bowl, Ole Miss had to rally from a 13-0 deficit. Following Jim Swink’s 39-yard run to give TCU a 13-0 lead in the second quarter, QB Eagle Day got the Rebels going with a four-play, 66-yard blitz to the end zone. Starting at the Ole Miss 34, Day connected for 28 yards with Earl Blair, then for 14 to Billy Kinard. FB Paige Cothren rambled for 21 yards to the Horned Frogs’ three and then ran over left tackle the following play to post the Rebels’ first points. TCU would carry the 13-7 lead into the fourth quarter. However, Day would engineer a 64-yard scoring drive. To keep the march alive, Day had to deliver a 13-yard pass to Cothren on fourth down to move the ball to the TCU 32. Two plays later on third down, Day sprinted 25 yards to the Horned Frog five. Billy Lott would cap the drive with a five-yard run and Cothren broke the 13-13 tie with his PAT attempt to give the Rebels a slim one-point lead with 4:22 remaining. Eddie Crawford’s interception would kill any chances of a TCU comeback as Day ran out the clock to give the Rebels the win. Vaught brought a 9-1 Rebel team into the 1962 Cotton Bowl against the Longhorns. Ole Miiss entered the game having outscored its opposition 326-40 and its lone setback was a 10-7 loss to LSU. The Rebels, though, would have to play the 1962 Classic without the services of All-America fullback Billy Ray Adams, who was injured in a car accident after returning from Jackson to attend a Touchdown Club meeting. With Ole Miss without its top rusher, Texas made sure QB Glynn Griffing wouldn’t do damage through the air. The Longhorns held Griffing and Doug Elmore to a combined 15-of-37 passing for 192 yards and intercepted five passes. Texas would build a 12-0 halftime lead and allow only a 20-yard scoring pass from Griffing to Reed Davis to record what was considered a major upset. Ole Miss’ 1962 Cotton Bowl appearance was the Rebels’ fifth in a then-national record run of 15 consecutive postseason trips. Forty-two years later, Ole Miss once again brought a ninewin team into the historic Cotton Bowl and defeated the Oklahoma State Cowboys 31-28.

In its inaugural bowl game, Ole Miss was beaten, 20-19 by opportunist Catholic University, a team from Washington, D.C., which ranked them as an Eastern power. The Eastern representative in the 1936 Orange Bowl was outgunned by 15 first downs to Ray Hapes seven, and 265 scrimmage yards to 172. Ole Miss had compiled a 9-2 record to earn the bid as Dixie’s representative. But the final win, a 14-6 conquest of Mississippi State, had proven costly for Clarence (Big Un) Hapes, a 225-pound fullback, who was knocked from the ranks by a knee injury. He could have made the difference in Miami. Catholic put together a 51-yard march to open the scoring, the drive stemming from an intercepted pass. Bill Adamaitis got the touchdown on a lateral from Dranginis from the two-yard line and Mulligan kicked the PAT for 7-0 in the first quarter. The score went to 13-0 in the second quarter when Adamaitis and Speck Foley collaborated for 48 yards via an aerial marker. The placement for 14-0 was blocked. The Rebels countered in the same period when Ned Peters, climaxing an 80-yard parade, swept left end for 67 yards, but Bill Richardson was hurried on his placement and missed. That was for 13-6 at halftime. Early in the second half, Dave Bernard’s bid for a punting advantage against the wind via a quick kick had been telegraphed, and the right side of the Cardinal line broke through to block the punt. Rydzewski grabbed the ball on the run and scored. Makofskie kicked the PAT for 20-7. Ray Hapes, sophomore halfback sprinter who was injured in the opening half, returned in the final quarter to spark the Rebels to their second TD. Starting on his 30-yard line after intercepting a pass, Hapes led the march. He carried the ball most of the way. A 17-yard aerial, Dave Bernard to Buster Poole, was the only pass. Bernard scored from the one-foot line, but missed the point after and it was 20-12. Late in the game, Herb Baumsten launched a series of air raids, and passes to Poole for 15 and 24 yards brought a touchdown in the final minute of play. Richardson kicked the PAT.

Although wayward conversions ultimately brought defeat, the Rebels were victimized on another front as well. Once on a double reverse out of the Warner double-wing offense, Ray Hapes broke in the clear only to skid on the sandy turf. He was headed left. Later, Bernard matched Hapes’ breakaway going right only to slip and fall. Catholic failed to muster a first down after intermission. OLE MISS CATHOLIC

28,000. What it was was the first Delta Bowl, a short-lived promotion. Texas Christian University was the party of the second part, and the Horned Frogs were stubborn in losing to the Rebs, 13-9. Ole Miss, who had signed for the game in midsummer, was to carry its first Southeastern Conference title into what was a fourth quarter story for the Rebs. TCU led 9-0 when Conerly and mates cranked up to claim their first bowl victory. From the Ole Miss 20-yard line, they began moving with deadly purpose late in the third stanza, with Farley Salmon and Red Jenkins eating up yardage to the Horned Frog 42 as the final quarter opened. Conerly threw strikes to Jack Stribling and Joe Johnson to advance to the 26, then followed with a touchdown pass to Johnson. Bobby Oswalt missed the conversion for 9-6. Bobby Wilson intercepted a Bobby Berry pass seven plays later, and, from the Rebel 36, Conerly and Johnson collaborated for a 52-yard aerial advance to the TCU 13. Dixie Howell handled the next Conerly peg and struck for paydirt with Barney Poole riding shotgun. This time Oswalt’s kick was accurate, and scoring in a 28-mile wind had been ended. TCU was not counted out in a hurry, however. The kickoff was fumbled and covered at its two, but it took Red Buchanan’s interception at midfield to snuff what was building into an overpowering Horned Frog march. Starting the game, Conerly’s aerials took the Rebels to the Horned Frog 10 before an interception set the Texans in motion. They overpowered the Ole Miss front wall to the Rebel 20, then charged back to the 26 where they were again stymied. Then Berry intercepted Wilson’s pass and ran 28 yards for the TCU touchdown midway through the second quarter for 7-0. Scant minutes later, Edwards blocked Conerly’s punt from the Rebel 12 and the ball bounced out of the end zone for a safety.

SUGAR BOWL Georgia Tech 24 Ole Miss 7

The 1953 Sugar Bowl Classic, which had No. 2-ranked Georgia Tech vs. seventhranked Ole Miss, emerged as the game of the big grumble. Not a member of the Rebel entourage spoke a post-game word, official or otherwise, but loud protests over the officiatJimmy Lear ing filled a good many newsprint columns. Even the Governor of Mississippi, the Honorable Hugh White, had his say. Be that as it may, the score was — and remains — 24-7. It was Ole Miss’ first major bowl appearance, and the first of eight (through 1970) in the Sugar. And the Rebels had gained the berth via an 8-0-2 campaign and a 21-14 win over nationally top-ranked Maryland, a 20-point favorite. Ole Miss started with a touchdown. The Rebels barely missed on two other shots, one which should have put them out front, 14-0. And the Engineers, talented, powerful and poised, took confident advantage of a bagful of breaks. Quite likely, this was Tech’s best team of all time. It finished at 12-0-0, and, through the Sugar Bowl, had not been beaten in 25 starts. The game opened with Lee Pasly returning the Tech kickoff 32 yards up the West sideline to the Rebs 43. Jimmy Lear registered four completions on a march that was highlighted near the end by Wissy Dillard’s 14-yard smash, a Lear keeper for eight, a Harol Lofton plunge for four and a first at the Tech four. Dillard scored in two licks, and Lear booted the margin to 7-0. It happened at 3:45 into the first quarter. Punts were swapped, and Tech started on its nine. Billy Teas fumbled at the 19, Jim Ingram recovered and there was the break that could have meant everything. On the first play, Dick Westerman took a Lear pitchout for 10. Dillard threw a surprise pass to Westerman on the seven, and Westerman tore off four at guard. There was an offsides tax against the Rebels, but Lofton made a great catch of a Lear pass at the two, and Westerman was stopped at the one. Now it was fourth down, and Dillard tried to score over left guard. Was he in? Subs began to pour in from both benches for the conversion, but it was ruled that Dillard had been halted at the one-foot line. Tech momentum lifted in the second period when Trainer covered a bobble at the Ole Miss 49. Teas and Leon Hardeman and Glen Turner picked up short but steady yardage, then Turner ran four times, and Bill

Brigman sneaked it across, and Pepper Rodgers tied the score. From the 20 following the kickoff and a penalty, the Rebels drove to midfield, and Lear, faking a handoff, whirled and threw to end Bud Slay, and only a great tackle by George Morris at the five saved a touchdown. After two charges by Dillard and Lofton, the ball was 40 inches away, but Lear slipped and couldn’t advance, and Dillard was trapped at right end on the two. The Rebels never got that close again. Tech went to the Rebel six, was denied there, and Rodgers booted a field goal just before the half for 10-7. Early in the second half, there were two Rebel fumbles sandwiched around a Billy Kinard interception. Tech ended up with the ball on the Ole Miss 18. Brigman passed to Jeff Knox, a Rebel defender batted the ball into the air, and Hal Miller, a tackle who was downfield, made a grab at the six. Hardeman skidded across three plays later, and it was 17-7. Tech finalized scoring early in the final period when Rodgers passed for 26 yards to Knox and converted. OLE MISS GEORGIA TECH

Navy 21 Ole Miss 0

By the time the kickoff hour approached, Ole Miss had been installed a scant fav-orite over Navy, the irresistible exponent of explosive football from out of the East. It was the 1955 Sugar Bowl game, matching teams of high national rank. George Harris At the end, it was Navy 21, Ole Miss 0. The Rebels were explosive in their own right, were Southeastern Conference champions and had scored 283 points and given up only 47. But Navy, as it turned out, its bench and its followers, were cheering first downs in the fourth period. They called it “The Team of Desire.” As for the Rebels, one observer noted, “You would figure Ole Miss would get high for a bowl game and playing Navy. They had about as much pep as an old Southerner who sat on the porch waiting for rain to hit the cotton field.” As for Navy, the Middies could not have cared less. Twice the Rebels kicked off, starting each half. Twice the Middies marched downfield to score. Ole Miss won the flip and chose the South goal. Navy started the gameopening drive from its 30-yard line. In the first series, it was fourth-and-one at the Navy 39, and the Rebels drifted into position to handle the punt. Instead, George Welsh sent Joe Gattuso over left guard and knifed through for three. The decision brought gasps at that juncture, but it was to pay dividends. On down to the Rebel eight, and a pitchout cost the Middies four, and 15 yards were added on a penalty, back to the 27. But John Weaver ran around right end for 24 to the three, and Gattuso smashed at right tackle, and it was 6-0, Weaver adding the point. It was only 7-0 at intermission, though Navy still was dominant. They had driven down to the Rebel one in the second stanza, and led 188 yards to 71 in total offense. The Middies got the second half underway from their 14. Eleven plays later, Welsh passed 16 yards to Weaver for 13-0, and Weaver again tacked on the point. After Eagle Day quick-kicked 72 yards to the Navy six, another 11-play Middie march was capped at the end by a second Gattuso TD and a third Weaver conversion for a final 21-0. That was with a full fourth quarter plus 4:15 of the third left in the game. But the scoring was over.

Ole Miss 14 TCU 13

Ole Miss’ first win in a major bowl came at an opportune time — right on the button. Texas Christian, with Jim Swink running, and he was fabulous, was favored. The Rebels were repeat SEC champs, the 1955 record of 9-1 matching 1954 into the Eagle Day Navy Sugar Bowl game, but they had not been as impressive in winning. However, the schedule had been tougher, and, in the 1956 Cotton Classic, that is what counted. The Horned Frogs were beaten, 14-13, in the first of five consecutive Rebel bowl victories. TCU bogged at the start, then flashed impressively. Its first scoring drive spanned 72 yards, and Swink contributed 31 yards to spark the initial charge. Ray Taylor broke off the right side and sped 46 yards to the Rebel one-yard line. On third down, Swink took it in, and Harold Pollard kicked the point with 0:54 left in the opening period. Eagle Day’s passing then carried Ole Miss to the TCU 25, but that was all, and TCU, after punting, was awarded the ball on the Rebel 39 via a 15-yard penalty. Swink then broke off right tackle and zig-zagged the distance for 13-0. And there it remained when Pollard missed from 18 yards out after a holding penalty had voided an accurate conversion. This was second-quarter action. It was at this juncture that Ole Miss launched its great comeback. It was a 66-yard, four-play blitz. From the Rebel 34, Day passed 28 yards to Earl Blair, then for 14 to Billy Kinard. Paige Cothren ran the fullback draw for 21 to the TCU three, then ran left tackle for the touchdown and toed the conversion for a 13-7 halftime score. Eventually, after punts were swapped, the Rebels took over on their 34 and rode on in, chiefly on Day’s passing and running. There was a fourth-down pass to Cothren for 13 down to the TCU 32, and a 25-yard sprint by Day on third down to the Horned Frog five. The run was a real swinger. Billy Lott then broke around right end on a pitchout and school was out, Cothren snapping the 13-13 deadlock with a perfect placement. A fat 4:22 remained, but Eddie Crawford applied the final knife after three plays when he intercepted Finney’s pass, and Day killed time to the final gun. Day, fabulous in winning, emerged as the “Mississippi Gambler” in newsprint and was named the game’s Outstanding Back. Guard Buddy Alliston was chosen Outstanding Lineman. Day completed 10-of-21 passes for 137 yards.

Ole Miss 39 Texas 7

Some days, it doesn’t pay to get out of bed. Texas had to figure it that way on New Year’s Day in 1958, in the Sugar Bowl Classic, for Ole Miss and its thunderous infantry troops bounced the classy Longhorns, 39-7. Ray Brown Johnny Vaught’s Rebel squad, with its first Sugar Bowl win in three games, led 6-0 after 15 minutes, 19-0 at the half, and 26-0 after three periods. Ray Brown, All-SEC at quarterback in 1957, highlighted the final-period explosion by sprinting 92 yards to score and become the first unanimous choice as the game’s Outstanding Player. Up to that play, sophomore QB Bobby Franklin had been in hot pursuit for the award. A Texas fumble, with Ken Kirk covering, set the Rebels in motion at the Texas 33-yard line early in the game, and Brown counted the first of his two TDs from the one-yard line six plays later. Starting again on the Texas 45, with the Steers taxed 20 yards in penalties following the kickoff, the Rebels had a first down on the UT four as the quarter ended, and Brown passed to Don Williams for 12-0 three plays later. Bob Khayat converted for 13-0. Texas’ drive to the Ole Miss 18 was bottled. The Rebels eventually regained field position, with Franklin’s 21-yard sweep the big gainer, and Brown punted out on the Texas seven. At that juncture, Brown picked off the first of three interceptions and returned nine yards to the Texas 20. Kent Lovelace then added the third Rebel TD on a left-side sweep from nine yards out. That was a five-play march. After fumbles had been swapped, Franklin set another parade in motion from the Ole Miss 48 with a 16-yarder off right tackle and scored eight plays later from the Texas three. Khayat converted for 26-0. The Longhorns had a pair of promising third-stanza pushes broken by fumbles, and Leroy Reed intercepted to trap another one at the Rebel seven. But the Texans revved up again, this time on the Ole Miss 38 and took it in. Allen ran for 17, 10 and eight yards to the Rebel one, and Blanch scored over the middle. Lackey converted for 26-7. Texas got the ball back pronto on a Rebel fumble, but Brown’s interception at the seven broke that one off. He was back to punt from the eight on fourth down, had handled a bad snap when he saw that Texas’ right end might block the kick. He broke outside the wingman and set sail on a 92-yard record run that (1) lifted Longhorn

pressure and (2) broke Longhorn hearts. Khayat added the point for for 33-7. There was another Texas fumble, Bob Owens covered, and Billy Brewer took over at QB. He then passed to Warren Jenkins for 13, ran for eight, then pegged to Tommy Taylor for the final touchdown. OLE MISS TEXAS

Ole Miss 7 Florida 3

The Ole Miss Rebels ran the gamut from offense to defense — from Sugar to Gator — in shading Florida, 7-3 in the 1958 Gator Bowl. It was their seventh bowl game, their fifth since 1952, their second in a string that was to reach 15 straight through Richard Price 1971. Overcast skies brought rain in light measure as the Classic was launched, Ole Miss taking the kickoff by choice and parading 70 yards for the game’s only touchdown. En route, volatile fullback Charlie Flowers was hurt and left the game for the remainder of the afternoon. Flowers and Kent Lovelace ate up short yardage to the Gator 40-yard line where Lovelace ran at left end for four, and Flowers left, nursing an injured eye. The big gainers were Bobby Franklin’s 12-yard pass to Jerry Daniels at the 20 and Franklin’s 15-yarder to Larry Grantham to the Gator one. Jim Anderson, in the saddle for Flowers, carried it in, Bob Khayat converted and it was 7-0 with 9:51 left. Jimmy Dunn, a flea-flicker quarterback, electrified a good many Gators by zipping 56 yards with Khayat’s kickoff, down to the Rebel 30, and the end result was a 27-yard field goal by Billy Booker. So, it was 7-3 with 7:44 left in the opening quarter. And that is how it ended, but not without thrills aplenty for the near-capacity 41,312. Both clubs threatened thereafter, Khayat missed a field goal from the Florida 30, and the Rebels continued with fine field position via a Franklin punt that bounced out at the Florida one. But Cowboy Woodruff bobbled Green’s return kick to the Ole Miss 46, Dave Hudson covered, and it was all Florida up to intermission. Sparring throughout the third chukker was virtually even — no hits, no runs, no errors. But Bobby Joe Green’s surprise quick kick starting the final period traveled 76 yards just outside the Rebel 10. Milton Crain, looking for someone to block, stumbled over the ball, and Hudson recovered for Florida. So Milby ran right end on a pitchout, and Grantham stopped him at the eight. Milby again, this time Jimmy Hall making a great stop at the three. Milby again, wide right, Hall repeating at the two. And Richard Price never let Dunn get his fourth-down play underway. He smashed through and flung Dunn down at the five. Billy Brewer punted short to the Rebel 26, and Florida moved up to the 15 where Bill Churchwell forced a Dunn fumble and covered. Punts were exchanged, then Dunn bobbled another Rebel boot at the Florida 48, and

Ole Miss 21 LSU 0

Leaving the Gator Bowl, Larry Grantham had issued a dressing room chant - “All the way in ‘59-National Champs.” The Rebels did not make the throne room, not quite. They were second-ranked nationally in every major poll, had lost 7-3 to LSU in the muck Bobby Franklin and mire of okra-slick Tiger Stadium, and — wonder of wonders — were rematched with the Tigers in the 1960 Sugar game. And as one New Orleans scribe wrote it, probably for the first time, “The score was closer than the game indicated.” At that, it was a solid 21-0. The Tigers netted a minus 15 yards rushing. They netted 74 in total offense with six first downs. The Rebels ran for 140, passed for 223 and had 19 first downs. At the game’s end, wee Bobby Franklin made it two Outstanding Player trophies in a row. He had passed for two second-half touchdowns. Jake Gibbs, at the T-throttle most of the season for Johnny Vaught’s 59ers, provided a 7-0 intermission advantage when he passed 43 yards to Cowboy Woodruff with just 38 seconds remaining. Franklin converted the PAT. It was Franklin, starring for the second time in the Sugar, who led the Rebels 74 yards for their second TD, starting with the second half kickoff. Running plays by Woodruff, Franklin and charger Charlie Flowers ate up 20 yards. Franklin passed for 14 yards to George Blair, for 12 to Bobby Crespino then for 18 to Grantham and 13-0. Bob Khayat added the conversion with the clock showing 12:33 left in the quarter. Four plays into the final chapter, Flowers picked up 11 from the Rebel 26-yard line to touch off a final scoring binge. Blair for seven, Franklin for two, Blair for nine, and it was first down at the LSU 45. Blair for a yard, then a Franklin pass to Dewey Patridge, and the first down was registered at the 26. Then, Franklin to Flowers for 17 to the nine and Franklin to Blair for the TD. Khayat converted for 21-0 with 9:18 left in the game. Following the final Rebel TD, LSU logged yardage to the Ole Miss 38, then to the 34, but wound up surrendering the ball at the Tiger 42. Otherwise, they played backyard football all afternoon. And if Franklin had not cornered the MIller-Digby Outstanding Player award, Grantham would have. His was the finest afternoon of defensive end play ever by a Rebel, or anyone else for that matter.

SUGAR BOWL Ole Miss 14 Rice 6

Defending Sugar Bowl champion Ole Miss returned for its fifth game in the 1961 New Orleans classic with Rice of the Southwest Conference, coached by the venerable Jess Neely. Ole Miss won its fifth-consecutive bowl decision 14-6, Jim Anderson with All-America Jake Gibbs scoring both touchdowns. It brought a fourth win over SWC opposition, and it cemented the Rebels’ first National Championship. They were so recognized in post-bowl balloting by the FWAA (Football Writers Association of America), the first SEC member to receive the Grantland Rice Award. To capsule the game, it was a case of Gibbs and his mates corralling a touchdown from the opening kickoff, sitting on that margin until the Owls picked up six points in the third, then driving back to wrap it up midway through the fourth and final stanza. For the first strike, Ole Miss’ troopers drove downfield 65 yards from kickoff with Jim Anderson running for 13, Gibbs and Anderson driving for 10, and Bobby Crespino adding 27 and a first down at the Owl 15-yard line. After Anderson lost a yard at right tackle, Gibbs passed for eight to George Blair and then struck at left end for eight and the TD. Allen Green added the conversion. Rice camped in Rebel territory through the second quarter, but pass interceptions by Green and John Robinson and Gibbs’ solid punting preserved the Reb advantage through halftime. And the Owls drove 57 yards to the Reb 13 starting the second half where Max Webb’s field goal bid was wide right. Rice finally cashed in a series later from 77 yards out, on an 18-play parade. Butch Blume scored around right end on a fourth-down, two-yard sweep. On their fourth penetration inside the Reb 20, the passing of Billy Cox and the running of Blume, Cox and Bob Wayt carried the distance, but Webb missed the conversion with 1:04 left in the quarter. Ole Miss charged to the Owl 41 following the kickoff, then picked up momentum from its 43 following a swapping of punts and Gibbs topped the 13-play drive by going in from the three on fourth down. Anderson ran twice for 13 yards, the Owls drew a five-yard penalty, Art Doty ran at right tackle for four, and Anderson at left tackle picked up seven to the 28. Doty ran right tackle for 11 to the 17. Gibbs passed to Crespino for seven to the 10, and Anderson at left tackle picked up five to the five for another first. Anderson

whacked for two, failed to gain, Gibbs failed to gain, then scored at right end from the three. Green again converted with 5:16 left, the day’s scoring at an end. OLE MISS RICE

COTTON BOWL Texas 12 Ole Miss 7

Billy Ray Adams was AllAmerica at fullback in 1961, a thunderous, halfback-type powerhouse of a runner and a skilled blocker and corner linebacker. Through a 9-1 campaign in which the Rebels had scored 326 points while allowing 40 and had a 10-7 loss to Reed Davis LSU as their lone defeat, Adams and All-America QB Glynn Griffing had been the Ole Miss barnburners. But Adams was lost to football for good two nights following the 37-7 campaign-ending win over Mississippi State, a car accident victim. He was returning from Jackson after attending a Touchdown Club meeting. And so, the Rebels had Buck Randall and Fred Roberts, a pair of sophomores, for the Cotton Bowl fullbacking, and Randall injured a knee early in the second quarter. The entire sequence was to cost the Rebels against Texas in the 1962 Cotton, with the Longhorns a 12-7 winner. The victory was recorded as a major upset. Texas won by covering Griffing’s pass receivers like bugs on water, by scoring 12 points before the Rebels could counter, and by hanging on like grim death. The field, too, was brick-hard. “I could never get my cleats anchored to throw,” Griffing complained. The Horns rambled for 34 yards in the first period following an interception. Mike Cotton took Texas across in nine plays, Jim Saxton scoring across the right side from the one. Elton Moritz missed the conversion at 0:47. For an encore, Texas struck for 72 yards in nine plays, utilizing a swing pass from Cotton to Saxton and Ford to good advantage. Cotton ran for 27 to the 37, hit Saxon for 12, then passed to Jack Collins who galloped in from the 16. A run for the two-pointer was smothered. The Rebel bid for a score before the half was frustrated from the eight. Griffing’s passes to Woody Dabbs, Louis Guy and Art Doty had accounted for 72 yards. It was on first down that Griffing’s TD pass attempt was tipped by a Horn defender — a leaping hand — and intercepted by Jerry Cook. In the seventh minute of the second half, Saxton quick-kicked 73 yards to the Rebel 14, and it was from that vantage point that Ole Miss struck for gold. Griffing ran left for eight, threw to A.J. Holloway for 17, and cut left for 29. Reed Davis made a remarkable catch of a 20-yard touchdown pass, and Wes Sullivan toed the point. Texas swept back to the Ole Miss seven, and was throttled there by Richard Ross’ interception. The Rebs

had banged right back at the Horns and had fourth and two at the 26 when Griffing was hauled down by end Bob Moses. That was the final Rebel bid. OLE MISS TEXAS

Ole Miss 17 Arkansas 13

In the 1963 Sugar Bowl, as in the 1960 exchange with LSU, it was another case of “the score being closer than the game.” Only, this time it was 17-13 for posterity, a lot closer. The Ole Miss victim was Arkansas, which had voided relations between the two nextLouis Guy door neighbors following the game of 1961. The win extended the Rebels’ perfect record for 1962 to 10-0-0. Mostly, it was a Glynn Griffing afternoon. He completed 14-of-23 passes for 242 yards and a touchdown, scored one on his own, had 257 yards in total offense and broke Davey O’Brien’s 24-year-old Sugar Bowl record for aerial yardage. And he lacked only six votes of gaining unanimous acclaim in winning the Miller-Digby Outstanding Player Award. Starting from its 20-yard line, Ole Miss, by land and air, charged to the Arkansas 13 where, on fourth-andfive, Billy Carl Irwin missed a 30-yard field goal. Next time from the Arkansas 49, the Rebs rode back, and Irwin’s field goal from the 13 at 11:48 in the second period set the score at 3-0. Billy Gray found the Rebel secondary in absentia from the Razorback 19 immediately following the kickoff and passed to Jerry Lamb at midfield, and Lamb would have gone all the way had not Buck Randall’s diving grab tipped Lamb off balance. He went down at the Reb 13, and Arkansas finally settled for three points on Tom McKnelly’s field goal from the 13. Again from kickoff, it was Ole Miss’ turn, and the Rebels swept 67 yards in seven plays for 10-3, a score that stood up to intermission. Jim Weatherly’s passes to Dave Jennings and Randall accounted for 14 yards. Griffing, back in, threw to Chuck Morris for 17 to the Arkansas 33, then to Louis Guy for the touchdown. Irwin, at 2:13, added the extra point. A pair of Rebel fumbles, the second one covered at the Ole Miss 18, opened the door for Arkansas’ deadlocking TD starting the second half. Jesse Branch ran left tackle for 13 to the five; then Billy Moore passed to Branch at the right corner for the six points and McKnelly tied it up with 12:18 left. It took the Rebels just 5:26 to regain the lead. The march spanned 80 yards. The big gainers were Griffing’s passes to Guy for 18 yards and to Guy for 35 to the Arkansas 20. Jennings and Griffing picked up a first at the Razorback seven, then Griffing ran twice to score. Irwin converted again — 17-10. Arkansas, on its only coordinated push of the after-

noon, moved from its 31 to the Rebel five where McKnelly kicked a 22-yard field goal. It was 17-13 with 1:33 showing in the quarter and that is how it ended. OLE MISS ARKANSAS

Alabama 12 Ole Miss 7

The bowl game that landed in New Orleans’ Sugar on January 1, 1964, was a disaster. It did not have to happen. But it did. And Alabama profited, 12-7. Believe it or not, four-plus inches of snow pelted New Orleans the day before the Perry Lee Dunn game. Snow, which banked the borders of the field, was much underfoot in the stadium when the game got underway. And the football did not have a handle. What happened was football. Alabama’s Tim Davis kicked a record four field goals. They traveled 46, 31, 34 and a record 48 yards. As for the handle, Ole Miss fumbled 11 times, and lost it six times. Not to be outdone, Alabama’s fumble totals were six and three. The Rebs failed to make a first down in the opening half, were behind 9-0 at intermission and 12-0 when they finally came to life. At the half, the Tide led 8-0 in first downs, 83 to 19 in land yardage, 29-15 by air. This was an unbeaten team (7-0-2), SEC champs who had whipped a fine LSU club, 37-3. Seconds remained in the third chukker when Perry Lee Dunn ran for nine to the Ole Miss 35-yard line to light a Rebel fire, and Fred Roberts hit the middle for five. Two plays later, Dunn passed for 42 yards to Dave Wells and a first at the Alabama 18. Roberts, Mike Dennis and Dunn advanced 13 yards to the Tide five, and Dunn pegged left to Larry Smith for the game’s only touchdown. Billy Carl Irwin converted, and it was 12-7. The drive carried 74 yards in nine plays. Bobby Robinson topped a Tide fumble at the Tide 32 three plays later, and Dunn passed 23 yards to Roberts to the nine. Dunn ran for six. Mechanics broke down when Roberts took a handoff from Dunn at the midsector, and the collision cost a yard. Dunn’s pass to Allen Brown was completed, but Brown came down out of the end zone. And Dunn’s hard-charging sweep at left end was turned back on the two. Back on the Tide 41, following French’s punt, Dunn passed to Dennis for 21 yards to the 20. Then he threw a strike to Joe Pettey for 11 to the nine. But Pettey, at the sidelines, fumbled, the ball rolled out of bounds against a snow bank, rolled back in, and was recovered by Eddie Versprille for Alabama. And that’s how it happened. The Rebs wound up with 248 scrimmage yards to Alabama’s 194, but they wound up too late. It was their first loss in the Sugar Bowl after four straight victories for an overall 4-3 Sugar Bowl record.

BLUEBONNET BOWL Tulsa 14 Ole Miss 7

The Bluebonnet Bowl was the aftermath of a 5-4-1 Ole Miss campaign. The date in Houston was Dec. 19, 1964. It was a Jerry Rhome afternoon. Rhome played for Tulsa, and Tulsa won 14-7. The Rebels had been top-ranked nationally into Jim Weatherly 1964, and they had opened at 30-0 over a Memphis State team they had deadlocked 0-0 the year before. But circumstances did mitigate, including an overdose of injuries. Jim Weatherly was the Ole Miss quarterback, and Weatherly completed 16-of-24 passes against Tulsa, but for only 113 yards and one TD. Rhome hit on 22-of-36 for 252 yards and one TD and scored the game-decider himself. Start to finish, the Rebels played a fine game against a national and bowl record-setting aerial offense and a husky defense. It was a prestigious win for the Hurricanes. Ole Miss opened scoring at the start of the second quarter. The Rebels traveled 57 yards in nine plays. The big gainer was Weatherly’s 30-yard pass to Frank Kinard. Otherwise it was short yardage, before and after. The 30-yarder got to the Tulsa 24-yard line. A key play was Weatherly’s throw to Mike Dennis for seven to the four. Dennis followed for three yards at left tackle, and Weatherly drove in at right guard. Billy Carl Irwin’s kick was good for 7-0 with 10:53 left. Tulsa retaliated by advancing 72 yards on eight plays. Rhome scored on fourth down from a yard out. He opened by sending Bob Daugherty around left end for 17 yards. Another big gainer was a 15-yard penalty on the Rebels. Rhome then ran down the middle for 23 to the five, and four plays later was across. Howard Twilley kicked the game into a halftime 7-7 knot at 6:15. There was always the big play for Rhome. Tulsa went out front to stay midway through the third period, and a 37-yard pass to Daugherty and a 35-yard scoring pass to Eddie Fletcher were apt illustrations. Twilley kicked again for 14-7. That was the bell on scoring, but there was a rhubarb of sorts. Bill Clay, who limited Twilley, the fabulous Tulsa receiver, to a pair of catches, intercepted a Rhome pass thrown from the Tulsa 38 and returned it 22 yards to midfield. There was a Rebel clip on the return. Then, with Clay down, a personal foul was called against Tulsa. Offsetting penalties? But after the interception? Nevertheless, the ball went back to Tulsa at the 38. It was

Ole Miss’ last chance for a big strike. The loss was Ole Miss’ second in as many bowl ventures. It set the Rebel bowl record at 7-6 and was their first loss in Houston. OLE MISS TULSA

LIBERTY BOWL Ole Miss 13 Auburn 7

In the first of its Liberty Bowl exposures, in a midafternoon start before a record 38,607 Liberty Bowl audience, Ole Miss shaded Auburn in what was properly assessed as a down-to-the-wire cliff-hanger. The score was 13-7. The Rebels protected their Jimmy Keyes narrow margin at the wire by overwhelming Tiger QB Alex Bowden. At the Ole Miss nine-yard line, Auburn had driven 54 yards with the goal in sight, and Bowden had called for a pass on fourth down. Bowden’s problem was 33 seconds — the time he had remaining. Jim Urbanek, Marvin McQueen, Jimmy Keyes and Jerry Richardson crashed through to end the tension. “That,” Johnny Vaught said, “was the turning point,” when the Rebel foursome broke through to upend Bowden. What it was was fierce football on the part of a pair of hardy SEC members, Ole Miss’ fifth in a bowl against a member of the clan, a 3-2 record. Ole Miss scoring went like this: 3-0, 3-7, 10-7, then 13-7. Following first-quarter sparring, QB Jimmy Heidel’s 32-yard sprint to the Tiger 25 set the stage for ace kicker Keyes’ 42-yard field goal. Auburn bounced right back and traveled 74 yards in six plays to take over at 7-3. On third-and-one at the Reb 44, fullback Tom Bryan broke off the left side and went all the way. Don Lewis added the point with 6:58 left in the half. The Rebels drove 59 yards in 10 plays from the second-half to overtake the Tigers at 10-7. Heidel stuck to the ground for the most part with tailback Mike Dennis’ 11- and 12-yard runs keynoting the march. The touchdown came on a six-yard peg from Jody Graves to Doug Cunningham, with Cunningham making a diving catch. Keyes, All-SEC at middle guard, added the point. Tommy James’ interception of a Bowden pass and return for five to Auburn 23 put Keyes back on the firing line, and his second fielder, tying a Liberty Bowl record, went through from 30 yards out. As for time, 11:55 remained at that juncture. Punts were swapped before the Tigers began hustling goalward, only to find the pressure of time and the Rebel defense too much to cope with.

BLUEBONNET BOWL Texas 19 Ole Miss 0

The Rebels returned to the Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston with a tremendous defensive machine. They had allowed only six touchdowns, a total of 46 points, had blanked five foes, and all but blanked two tremendous offensive teams. The season-long record Bruce Newell was 8-2. Texas had finished as the best team in the Southwest Conference. And the Longhorns rode into Houston the afternoon before the game. The Rebs, changing from the usual in procedure, had gone in as guests in time to spend Friday on tour, up to the final workout. That night, they were weary up to the point of skipping the pregame movie. They played that way the next afternoon. It was a 19-0 Texas “norther.” Texas’ scoring marches spanned 89, 68 and 53 yards. The Rebels made only two serious scoring threats. On the first, Jimmy Keyes’ 43-yard bid for a three-pointer was wide. On the second, in the third chukker, a 65-yard march was stymied on fourth down at the Longhorn eight. An offsides penalty figured in the first Texas patrol. The Steers faced a fourth-and-one situation from their 20-yard line, and Bill Bradley punted, but an offsides tax gave Texas new life at its 25. Chris Gilbert immediately broke through the Rebel middle and raced 50 yards to the 25. Bradley then turned around left end and raced into the end zone. It was 6-0 into the half, the Rebels still in the game, after Dave Conway missed the extra point at 8:36. Shortly after the episode, Jim Urbanek cornered Bradley back to punt, and the Rebels had the ball at the Steer 29, but Keyes’ field goal bid from the 26 was off line. Tommy Luke picked off the first of his Bluebonnetrecord three interceptions four plays later, and the Rebels set up camp on the Horn 39. Doug Cunningham’s long pass for a TD was inches high, but he followed with 11 yards to right end, four at left tackle, and Bruce Newell threw to Mac Haik for six to the 18. Newell missed the next pass, ran left for a pair, then was intercepted by Derrick on third-and-eight. That was the high water mark for the Rebels. Texas took the second-half kickoff and paraded 68 yards, all of it infantry business, with Gilbert scoring from the one on the 12th play. And with 1:38 left, Bradley circled left end for four and the last Texas TD, winding up a seven-play drive from the Steer 47. Jody Graves had passed, and Texas handled the last of four interceptions

to set the stage. Conway kicked the PAT for 19-0. Each team had four interceptions to set a Bluebonnet record, and Texas lost three fumbles. The seven turnovers helped Ole Miss defensively. The four Texas interceptions choked off three Rebel pushes almost before they got underway. It was that kind of afternoon, certainly a bitter pill for an Ole Miss team that had made defense its way of living.

Texas-El Paso 14 Ole Miss 7

The University of Texas at El Paso, known as Texas Western for many years and as Texas School of Mines during pre-war seasons, was probably the finest football team the Rebels ran into during all of 1967. The Miner formula was throwing and defense, and it Mac McClure was passing and defense that beat the Rebels 14-7, before a record 34,685 in the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas. The opening period was scoreless. Ole Miss led 7-0 at intermission. Thereafter, UTEP rode the range. The Rebels rode out front when right end Mac McClure picked off a Billy Stevens aerial and raced 47 yards to the Miner one-yard line. QB Bruce Newell scored two plays later, Van Brown kicked the placement and it was 7-0 with 8:41 left in the half. UTEP’s scoring was compressed into the final quarter. And the second half was 10 minutes old before the Miner offense began to function authoritatively. Stevens clicked on six-of-seven passes on a 76-yard march and got the deadlocking touchdown with 14:18 left in the game, throwing for five yards to Dave Karns. The clock showed 7:32 left when UTEP scored again. The Rebels bobbled on the Ole Miss 23, and Stevens sent Larry McHenry into the line four times, and McHenry got the TD from the four with 7:32 left. Jerry Waddles added both conversions. Stevens, completing 13-of-26 passes, was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. All-America linebacker Fred Carr drew the Most Valuable Lineman award by a single vote over Ole Miss tackle Dan Smith. OLE MISS UTEP

LIBERTY BOWL Ole Miss 34 Virginia Tech 17

Virginia Tech was king for a quarter — Ole Miss was king for the day. Back in the Liberty Bowl, with a brand new football team, the Rebels wumped the infantry-minded Hokies 34-17. The Liberty Bowl was 10 years of age, and the attendance, on a Steve Hindman bright, bitterly-cold afternoon, was a record 42,206. With warmer atmosphere, it would have stretched Memphis Memorial Stadium’s 50,160 capacity. Tech pulled a Country Boy tactic out of the hat just 37 seconds into the game. And if you were watching on the tube and reached back for sarsaparilla, you missed it. Neither team had huddled. The Rebels had yet to issue a defensive signal to establish their alignment. They were awaiting the Hokie huddle. But the Hokies did not huddle. They were standing around, with QB Al Kincaid near the ball. Eventually, he scooped it up, pitched left and back to tailback Ken Edwards, and Edwards ran left and rambled 58 yards to paydirt. He had a freedom avenue down the west sidelines. Then, on the first Rebel series, Archie Manning fumbled when hit and Waddey Harvey covered for VPI. That was on the 27-yard line, and four plays later Terry Smoot crashed seven yards to score. Jack Simcsak booted both conversions inside of the first two minutes. He followed with a 29-yard field goal and Tech led 17-0 with 1:49 left in the first period. It was Ole Miss’ 12th consecutive bowl game, an extension of a national record, and it looked like the biggest disaster of all was in the making. But the Hokies were too greedy. They attempted an onside kick, and it failed to go the distance. The Rebels were fired up and in business on the VPI 49. They bounced back in a hurry. Manning’s pass to tailback Hank Shows ate up 11, tailback Steve Hindman picked up a first down at the 24 on a three-yard lick, then Manning found Shows down the right sideline, and Shows made a great run in taking the ball across for the first Ole Miss breakthrough. Van Brown booted the score to 17-7 three plays into the second quarter. Tech was stacked up near its goal line, punted to Riley Myers, and Myers scooted 27 yards on the return. Enter tailback Leon Felts and Manning targeted him in the end zone from 23 yards out to almost square accounts. Van Brown added the conversion for 17-14 with 4:35 left in the half. The second half was a bare 21 seconds old when

Steven Hindman broke off right tackle and charted a course for 79 yards and the go-ahead touchdown. It was 21-17 after Brown contributed his point. The Rebels barely missed a follow up TD when Bobby Winstead covered a Tech bobble at the 25 from the kickoff, but it was ruled that Manning — not the ball — was across from the two on fourth down after 10 plays. Manning was bitter, but accounts remained at 21-17 into the final stanza. The Hokies, powerful on the ground, covered Bo Bowen’s fumble at the Rebel 25 three minutes into the last chapter, and Tech had its inning. But after a 15-yard penalty setback, Kincaid’s pass was picked off at the 30 by middle linebacker Robert Bailey, and Bailey scooted 70 yards to score. Johnny Aldridge blocked out Kincaid, last man in Bailey’s tackle orbit, to help pave the way for the score. It was Ole Miss 28, Virginia Tech 17, after Brown tacked on the point at 11:54. Fred Brister’s interception opened the door for Brown’s 46-yard field goal, the longest in Liberty Bowl history, at 9:09, and Brown added a 26-yard field goal with two seconds left to wind up the scoring for the day. The Rebels had gone from 0-17 to 7-17, 14-17, 21-17, 28-17, 31-17 and a finishing 34-17. Hindman was named the game’s Most Valuable Player and Outstanding Offensive Back. He netted 122 yards rushing in 15 carries. Bailey, whose 70-yard interception return was the longest in Liberty Bowl history, was chosen Outstanding Defensive Back, and sophomore tackle Worthy McClure won the Outstanding Offensive Lineman award. Brown tied Rebel Jimmy Keyes’ 1965 game record with his two field goals.

SUGAR BOWL Ole Miss 27 Arkansas 22

Climaxing a campaign which was downright sensational, occasionally controversial and individually spectacular, Ole Miss overturned Arkansas’ powerhouse Razorbacks, 27-22 New Year’s Day in the 36th Annual Sugar Bowl. Bo Bowen The Sugar Bowlers tapped the Rebels halfway through November, campaigning when they upset Tennessee, 38-0. It was Texas or Arkansas for the opposite berth into their national-televised national-championship accounting Dec. 6 in Fayetteville. The Longhorns’ comeback for a 15-14 win sent the Razorbacks to New Orleans for their fourth Sugar Bowl game, their first as defending champs. The Razorbacks, 9-1 and third-ranked nationally, were favored over 13th-ranked Ole Miss, who owned a 7-3 report. At the end, it was Ole Miss by a whisper in a game Johnny Vaught’s Rebels had dominated through most of the first half. Archie Manning and his touchdown-scoring platoon won the decision, but it took All-America safety Glenn Cannon and the defensive unit to save it. Arkansas led the nation in defense against scoring, allowing an average of 7.6 points per game — 76 in all. The Rebels counted 27 in one outing and had 24 at the half. It was Arkansas coach Frank Broyles’ sixth skirmish with the Rebels and Vaught. He had yet to win, losing in 1958, 1959, 1960 and 1961, and in the 1963 and 1970 Sugar Bowl games. Ole Miss all but buried the Razorbacks up to intermission. At the half, it was Ole Miss 24, Arkansas 12. But a second-period Rebel six-pointer had been voided by penalty, and the Rebel defense had allowed a 47-yard Arkansas touchdown just before the half. The margin could have been 31-6, and it should have been 24-6. With 1:15 left in the game from the Ole Miss 36, Razorback passing whiz Bill Montgomery threw a strike to catching whiz Chuck Dicus for 11 yards. Cannon clobbered Dicus with the reception, forcing and covering a fumble to wrap it up. It was that close. Archie Manning won the Miller Digby Trophy as the game’s Outstanding Player. He was tremendous. However, had the balloting been conducted as the game ended, Cannon might have been the winner. The Rebels were penalized 101 yards throughout the afternoon on 11 calls, with every inch flagged down by Southwest Conference officials. And it was an offen-

sive interference call, registered after the play, that voided what would have been the third Ole Miss sixpointer. Manning threw a quickie to wingback Buddy Jones for 20 yards, 10 plays after an Arkansas touchdown, but it was erased, and Cloyce Hinton followed with a Sugar Bowl-record 52-yard field goal with 5:01 remaining. Just 2:24 later, the Rebels scored again. From his 45-yard line, Manning completed three-of-four passes to span the distance, the payoff strike to Studdard covering 30. Studdard sprinted the last 15 yards, and King toed the point. It was 24-6 with 2:37 left. Arkansas countered with an 80-yard overhead march. It was after 33 yards of throwing that Montgomery and Dicus paired for their 47-yard spectacular. It trimmed the Razorback deficit to 24-12. Dicus just kept running on a broken pass play and was picked up late — too late — by the Rebel secondary. Bill VanDevender smeared Mont-gomery’s bid for a two-pointer. Ole Miss was in business at the Arkansas nine early in the third period following Manning’s 31-yard sprint, but another penalty spiked that bid, and Hinton booted his second field goal, this one for 36, to set the totals at 27 and 12 with 7:23 left. That was all for the Rebels in the score mart. Arkansas collected a three-point dividend four minutes later, McClard kicking a 35-yarder, and it was 27-15 with a quarter left. Then, a Manning pass was intercepted at the Ole Miss 41, and Berner returned 30 yards to the 11. On third-and-five, Montgomery wheeled right and hit tailback Bill Burnett for the marker. This time McClard hit the conversion, to make it 27-22 with 10:15 left. Early in the fourth quarter, Cannon had intercepted a tailback pass by Maxwell in the Rebel end zone. The Razorbacks were camped at the 11. Later, from the Rebel 38, he broke up three successive Montgomery passes. Then, from the Ole Miss 40, Montgomery fired to Dicus, and Cannon made his final great defensive stop, and the ball and the game belonged to the Rebels. It was for a record fifth Sugar Bowl-game win in a record-tying eighth Sugar Bowl game. The Rebels had won it without the services of two of their ranking receivers, Floyd Franks and Riley Myers, and a starting offensive guard, Billy Coker. Arkansas was their fourth top 10 victim, after Georgia, LSU and Tennessee in scheduled play. The Rebels traveled 80 yards for their first touchdown, a full 100 — adding 20 yards in penalties — for the second. Fullback Bo Bowen climaxed a four-play parade by breaking for 69 epic yards to open the scoring 7:55 into the game. Manning broke for 18 and the sec-

110

ond six-pointer. A big play in this parade was Manning’s 57-yard bomb to Vern Studdard. Perry King added both conversions. It was 14-0 with 1:15 left in the opening period. Scoring followed this Rebel pattern: 7-0 and 14-0 in the first stanza, then 14-6, 17-6, 24-6 and 24-12 at the half. It was 27-15 after three periods. Oddly, Ole Miss’ scoring in the first quarter followed field goal misses by Razorback ace Bill McClard. It was fourth-and-two on both attempts, from the Rebel five for 22 yards and the 15 for 36. Arkansas broke through with an 81-yard drive at this juncture, with Bill Burnett running the last 12 to climax a 13-play operation. McClard missed this conversion at 5:43 in the second quarter. That was for 14-6. OLE MISS ARKANSAS

GATOR BOWL Auburn 35 Ole Miss 28

At Jacksonville, on the second day of January, 1971, it was a case of Archie Manning — and Ole Miss — running out of high-octane gas in a 35-28 loss to Auburn in the 26th annual Gator Bowl game. Observed Archie after the fracas, witnessed by a nearShug Chumbler record 71,138 limp spectators: “All that scrambling got me,” he said after the game. “My wind left me, and those weeks out of action showed up. That old hospital bed never got off my back. As a matter of fact, I felt like it rode down the field with me a couple of times.” Manning said the plastic sleeve used to protect his broken left arm was three or four pounds lighter than it was when the Rebels bowed to LSU (61-17) on Dec. 5 in Baton Rouge. However, he added that “It was hard going to the left. That baby got kinda heavy, and it was hard to get turned around and get moving. But it wasn’t my arm that hurt me so much,” he added. “It was my physical condition.” It was a fantastic exhibition. Manning was magnificent as he ran and passed the Rebels back into contention and had the Tigers clinging to a jittery seven-point advantage when time ran out on the offensive spectacular. The great Pat Sullivan had fired Auburn into a 21-0 lead before the Rebels and Manning got cranked up. Then it was 21-14 at the half, 28-14, 28-21, 35-21 and 35-28 for the final. Shug Chumbler spelled Manning as the Rebel quarterback and passed beautifully to Jim Poole for the third Ole Miss touchdown and scored the finale. For the score: Auburn put together a 14-point first quarter with Sullivan hitting Terry Beasley and Al Bresler on eight and seven-yard scoring passes. The drives spanned 62 and 59, and Gardner Jett added both conversions. In between, the Rebels stymied an Auburn march at their one-foot line. Sullivan ran 37 yards after faking a pass for 21-0 early in the second quarter. Manning ran and passed, and Greg Ainsworth, replacing injured Bobby Knight at tailback, clippered 25. Archie ran nine to the two then took it in, and Jim Poole added the first of his four conversions for 21-7. Wallace Clark for the Tigers then capped a five-play, 73-yard drive to the Rebel one by fumbling out of the end zone when hit, and it took Manning and his mates four plays to travel the 80 yards. He threw to Floyd Franks for the last

34 for the score, and it was 21-14 at intermission. A 42-yard Sullivan-Beasley overhead keynoted Auburn’s first third-quarter marker. It went to the Rebel five, and Mickey Zofko blasted for six on second down. That was for 28-14 after Jett’s conversion. Next up was Archie. He ran perhaps 75 yards for a net advance of 42, down to the Auburn 23. Winded, he was replaced by Chumbler who lofted a beauty to Jim Poole for 28-21. Next time, the Tigers were stymied at the Ole Miss two after 69 yards, and Larry Northam eventually punted 47 yards to the Tiger 46. From that point, on a down-themiddle return, Larry Willingham broke for 54 yards and a 35-21 Auburn lead. Tackle Elmer Allen’s interception stumped the Tigers next time, and Archie then zig-zagged 37 yards, reversing his field twice, to get the Tiger 34. He staggered to the sidelines, Chumbler taking over, and a pair of his passes to Vernon Studdard, for 19 and 18 to get to the one, set it up for Chumbler to push across for the final Rebel points. The Rebels played without Wyck Neely, right halfback starter on defense. They lost Knight at tailback and Randy Reed at fullback early in the first period to a broken leg and rib. And Manning was completely exhausted when he went out the last time. Still, it was a great Rebel effort against a great Auburn offensive team. Only three times did they get the ball outside their 33-yard line. And they stymied three Tiger drives right at the goal line. Ole Miss netted 209 yards by land to 208 by Auburn, Archie running 11 times for 95 and completing 19 of 28 passes for 180. Chumbler hit on four of 11 for 76, making it a 23-of-39 afternoon for 256, or 465 yards in total offense. Sullivan completed 27 of 43 for 351, and the Tigers had 559 yards in total offense. The combined 1,063 yards in total offense was one of the several new Gator Bowl records. Poole caught nine passes for 111 yards, Franks seven for 78. Beasley handled eight for 143 for the Tigers.

PEACH BOWL Ole Miss 41 Georgia Tech 18

After Alabama and Georgia in October, Ole Miss football, it was felt by many, had been left for dead. But that was before Southern Miss, then Vanderbilt at home, LSU in a gigantic overturn in Jackson, Tampa and Chattanooga, then a final smashing of Mississippi State. Norris Weese With a 9-2 worksheet, the Peach Bowl beckoned, and Georgia Tech, the first Rebel foe in a major bowl game, was tapped as the hometown opponent. The weather, beautiful to good through most of the Rebels’ five-day visit to Atlanta, drew two soggy hours, heavy rain from 6:30 in Atlanta Stadium where the grassless, sandy sod was turned into a morass by the 8 p.m. kickoff hour. The net result was that the Engineers were drowned throughout the first half and were eventually walloped, 41-18. The halfway score was 38-6. And everyone in the stadium — 39,771 paid, cut short undoubtedly by the reports of rain, but also because of Tech fans’ disillusionment with recent Tech football fortunes — had counted on a stirring battle. Tech, indeed, was favored. The Rebels also dominated postgame awards, QB Norris Weese getting the Most Valuable Offensive trophy, and linebacker Crowell Armstrong the Most Valuable Defensive trophy. The Rebels poured five touchdowns and a field goal in the hopper before Tech scratched, and were content to play out the second-half for their 11th bowl win, their 15th consecutive bowl game in 20 post-season bids. In the opening quarter, Weese climaxed a 56-yard drive with a turn of left end from a yard away, and Cloyce Hinton made it 7-0. Hinton booted a 25-yard fielder for 10-0 at the quarter. Jim Porter collected the first of his two touchdowns early in the second chukker, crashing across from the two and ending a 55-yard parade. From that 17-0 deficit, Tech began its string of mistakes. The Engineers contributed three fumbles and a pair of interceptions, registered by Mickey Fratesi and Henry Walsh, and the alert Rebels turned every error into scoreboard additions. They were playing like it wasn’t raining. Halfback Brent Cunningham bobbled at the Tech 34, and seven plays later Porter slashed across from the 10, and with Hinton adding the third of his five conversions, the score mounted to 24-0. One minute, four seconds later, safety Mickey Fratesi picked off an Eddie McAshan and ripped back to the

Georgia Tech 15. Ailing QB Kenny Lyons, out since midOctober with the shoulder injury against Southern, came on and fired to senior wingback Leon Felts, and it was 31-0. Alan Hennesey’s fumble turn followed, and his boot was pounced on by Armstrong, and it was Crowell’s second recovery, this one at the Jackets 21. Weese then threw to co-captain Riley Myers for the fifth and final Rebel marker, and it was 38-0. Tech counted just before the half, going 61 yards to goal. The Jackets went 25 yards in the third chukker, then 90 in the last one for their touchdowns, with a final bid checked at the one by a great Rebel goal line stand. Just ahead of that last Tech drive, Hinton had booted his second field goal for the final Rebel points — the highest Ole Miss total in a bowl outing. Weese completed seven-of-14 for 116 yards with no interceptions, ran 11 times for 32 yards. TB Greg Ainsworth ran 28 times for 119, Porter eight for 26 with two six-pointers. OLE MISS GEORGIA TECH

Air Force 9 Ole Miss 3

A 12-year drought in postseason bowl games came to an end for the Ole Miss Rebels on a rainy Saturday night in Shreveport, La. However, the Rebels dropped a hard-fought 9-3 decision to nationallyranked Air Force in the 1983 Independence Bowl. Andre Townsend Four field goals, three by the Falcons’ Sean Pavlich and one by the Rebels’ Neil Teevan, was all the scoring both clubs could muster on a rain-soaked Independence Stadium playing field. A crowd of 41,274 braved the elements and a national television audience watched as the Air Force Academy jumped out to a 6-0 second quarter advantage and was never headed. The Rebels held in check a powerful wishbone attack by the Falcons, one which averaged over 400 yards per contest in the 1983 season. And, it was a gallant goalline stand by the determined Rebels midway through the fourth quarter that kept Ole Miss within striking range. Air Force got on the board first, marching 65 yards in 10 plays to set up a 44-yard field goal by Pavlich. The big play in the drive was a 22-yard completion from quarterback Marty Louthan to tight end Jerry Rose to put the Falcons in Rebel territory. Pavlich connected with his first threepoint try to make the score 3-0 with 7:37 left in the opening quarter. Pavlich knocked in a 39-yard field goal with 7:39 left in the second period to move the Falcons in front, 6-0. As was the case the last half of the season, the Rebels made the most of a mistake, as the Air Force Academy found out. After Ole Miss’ Bill Smith missed a 46-yard field goal try with under two minutes left in the half, the opportunistic Rebel defense came up with a Louthan fumble to give Ole Miss possession at the Air Force 42. Rebel signal-caller Kelly Powell went immediately to work and drilled flanker Jamie Holder with a 14-yard toss them and hit tailback Buford McGee with a six-yarder. The two completions was all Teevan needed, as the 5-foot-11 place-kicker split the up-rights from 39 yards to make it 6-3 at the half. Air Force ended the scoring by driving 71 yards on its first possession of the third quarter. Pavlich was true on his third field goal attempt, this time from 27 yards to move the Falcons in front 9-3 with 7:59 left in the stanza. Both squads exchanged punts until the Rebels staged a precious goal-line stand with 8:40 left in the contest to take over at their own one-yard line. Air Force,

with a first-and-goal at the Rebel five, could not dent the Ole Miss end zone as All-American Andre Townsend, voted Defensive Player of the Game, stopped Louthan in mid-air just short of the goal to give the Rebels the ball on fourth down. Ole Miss threatened after 17- and 18-yard passes from Powell to split end Timmy Moffett. However, the Rebels could get only to the Air Force 34, before Powell’s fourth down toss to Moffett fell incomplete. Dwayne Nesmith, Ole Miss linebacker, picked up the Senior Spirit Award as did Air Force’s Jeff Kubiak. Louthan was tabbed Offensive Player of the Game, while Townsend got the Defensive Award.

Ole Miss 20 Texas Tech 17

Ole Miss rode the 343 yards passing of quarterback Mark Young to pick up its first bowl victory in 15 years, a 20-17 win over Texas Tech in the 1986 Independence Bowl. Young shattered five Ole Miss bowl records, all held by former standout Archie Mark Young Manning, on his way to being named Offensive Player of the Game. Young completed 31-of-50 passes and had 314 yards of total offense in 62 plays — all new Rebel marks. On Ole Miss’ second drive of the evening, Young put the Rebels on the scoreboard. Young connected for 11 yards with Shawn Sykes, another 20 to J.R. Ambrose, and hit fullback Joe Mickles on an 18-yard screen pass to move the football to the Tech five-yard line. Two plays later, tailback Willie Goodloe bounced over from a yard out for the touchdown. Bryan Owen added the PAT, and the Rebels led 7-0 with 8:21 left in the opening period. Young guided Ole Miss 80 yards in 15 plays on the very next possession. In the drive, Young hit Ambrose with passes of 12, 10 and 12 yards, setting up a nineyard scamper by Mickles for the touchdown on the very first play of the second quarter. Owen added the PAT, and Ole Miss led 14-0 with 14:57 left in the period. Texas Tech came right back with an impressive march of its own, going 76 yards in 17 plays. Red Raider running back James Gray finished the drive with a one-yard run, putting Tech on the scoreboard. Scott Segrist added the PAT, and the Ole Miss lead was cut in half, 14-7 with 7:47 left in the second quarter. Owen gave Ole Miss a 17-7 cushion at halftime, nailing a 21-yard field goal with one second left in the second quarter. The Rebels drove 75 yards in 14 plays, as Young and Ambrose connected for passes of 11, 16 and 10 yards in the march. The Red Raiders got new life early in the third quarter when linebacker Merv Scurlark stepped in front of a Young pass for a 33-yard interception return and a score. Segrist added the PAT, and suddenly, Ole Miss led just 17-14 with 11:16 left in the third quarter. Tech tied the contest early in the fourth quarter as a result of another lengthy offensive drive. The Red Raiders marched 62 yards in eight plays, getting as close as the Ole Miss one but had to settle for a 19-yard field goal by Segrist to knot the score 17-17 with 14:52 left. Ole Miss and Young responded with a scoring march, resulting in a 48-yard field goal by Owen to pull the Rebels back in front, 20-17 with 12:16 left to play. The Rebels made one last serious offensive drive,

moving the pigskin to the Tech two where a fourth-andgoal pass from Young to Ambrose fell incomplete with 2:35 remaining. The Red Raiders then made their last attempt to win the contest. Tech quarterback Billy Joe Tolliver moved his squad to the Red Raider 49, but his second-and-10 pass was intercepted by Rebel free safety Jeff Noblin to end the threat and give Ole Miss its first bowl win since 1971.

LIBERTY BOWL

OLE MISS AIR FORCE

Ole Miss 42 Air Force 29

In what was slated to be an offensive shootout, the Ole Miss Rebels did just that in outlasting the Air Force Falcons 42-29 in the 31st annual Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tenn. The emotion-filled Rebels came out of the gates like a well-trained thoroughJohn Darnell bred, bolting to a 28-9 halftime lead en route to their 13th bowl victory in 23 appearances. Perhaps it was the fact that of the record-crowd of 60,128, some 20,000 were Ole Miss fans. Perhaps it was the fact that Chucky Mullins, the Rebel defensive back who was paralyzed in the Oct. 28 Vanderbilt contest, visited the Ole Miss locker room before the Liberty Bowl kickoff — his first trip outside Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis since his injury. Leading the Rebel charge were quarterback John Darnell and running back Randy Baldwin. By halftime, the Darnell-Baldwin tandem had combined for almost 300 yards of total offense. Baldwin had rushed for 121 yards on seven carries and had tallied two scores, while Darnell had passed for 165 yards and a touchdown. To top that, Ole Miss kick-return specialist Pat Coleman had electrified the crowd with a 58-yard punt return for a score. Before the record-crowd could settle into its seats, Ole Miss had already jumped on the scoreboard. On the Rebels’ first possession, Darnell hit for 38 yards on his first two pass attempts, and Baldwin scampered for 10 yards to the Air Force 32. Two plays later, Darnell found paydirt, hitting Reid Hines on a timing pattern in the end zone. Greg Hogue added the PAT, and the Rebels led 7-0. Air Force soared right back to answer the score with a tally of their own. Highly-touted quarterback Dee Dowis drove the Falcons to the Ole Miss 19-yard line before Joe Wood came on to boot a 37-yard field goal at the 11:16 mark. The Ole Miss offensive machine rolled to another score on its next possession, driving from its own 33 to the Falcons 23-yard line, where Baldwin went around right end and fought off two potential tacklers to score his first TD of the game. Hogue was again perfect on the PAT, and the Rebels led 14-3. Dowis quickly marched his Falcon troop down the Liberty Bowl Stadium field and scored Air Force’s first touchdown of the game at the 3:19 mark of the first quarter on a two-yard scamper. The try for the two-point conversion failed, closing the scoring in one of the wildest first quarters in Liberty Bowl history. The second stanza saw the Ole Miss offense con-

tinue its success in moving the pigskin, while the Rebel defense anchored in to stifle the Air Force attack. Baldwin scored on a 21-yard run for his second touchdown of the game with 10:20 left in the quarter, and Coleman turned in his 58-yard punt return with only 1:21 left before intermission to excite the Rebel fans. Meanwhile, the Air Force offense sputtered, failing to register a second quarter score. The Falcons were forced to punt on two of their three second-quarter possessions, and Rebel defensive lineman Doug Jacobs recovered a Dowis fumble on the third attempt. Air Force rallied in the third quarter for a quick score, taking the initial possession and driving downfield deep into Ole Miss territory. Greg Johnson capped the 72-yard drive when he went over from three yards out. A 61-yard jaunt by Dowis highlighted the scoring drive. The Falcons again went for the two-point conversion, but failed. On their second play from scrimmage, Rebel linebacker Phillip Kent recovered a Dowis fumble at the 21, and Ole Miss was in business. Coleman turned the turnover into six points on the Rebels’ second play, scoring on an 11-yard reverse. Hogue hit his fourth conversion kick, and Ole Miss led, 35-15, heading into the final quarter. Ole Miss tallied its final score of the night early in the fourth quarter as backup quarterback Russ Shows found Ed Thigpen open in the endzone from eight yards out. Hogue nailed his fifth extra point and extended the Rebels’ lead to 42-15. Air Force added two later scores on two touchdown passes by backup quarterback Lance McDowell to split end Steve Senn, one for 35 yards and another good for 21 yards. Baldwin finished the night with 177 rushing yards on 14 carries and two touchdowns, and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player and Outstanding Offensive Player. Darnell also turned in a brilliant performance in his final collegiate game, connecting on 19-of-33 pass attempts for 261 yards and a touchdown. Jeff Carter, a walk-on who was thrust into action during the season due to a rash of injuries in the Ole Miss secondary, was named as the game’s Outstanding Defensive Player, recording eight tackles, one interception and one pass breakup. Shawn Cobb received the Liberty Bowl ScholarAthlete Award for his effort both on and off the field. The third Ole Miss Liberty Bowl was a record-setting affair, from the crowd to the individual performances by Baldwin, Darnell and Coleman, plus the team totals. The Rebels set new Liberty Bowl records with their 30 total first downs and their 17 passing first downs. Also, the 42 points, the six extra points, the 533 yards of total offense

GATOR BOWL

OLE MISS MICHIGAN

Michigan 35 Ole Miss 3

When Ole Miss officials were informed that the Rebels had been extended an invitation to participate in the 46th Annual Mazda Gator Bowl, they were ecstatic to be returning to a New Year’s Day bowl. The Rebels were finally earning the national recogniBrian Lee tion they deserved after completing a 9-2 regular season and a 5-2 Southeastern Conference mark. Ole Miss would also receive national attention by going toe-to-toe with collegiate football powerhouse Michigan in the Jan. 1 affair with a national ESPN cable television audience and 68,927 inside Gator Bowl Stadium looking on. The Rebel football program would receive unparalleled exposure, and Ole Miss fans flocked to Jacksonville in droves to watch their beloved Red and Blue take on the Big Ten Wolverines. However, Michigan, which came within six points of capturing the National Championship, used a solid offensive attack and stingy defense to post a 35-3 victory over Ole Miss in the 46th renewal of the Gator Bowl. Michigan came to the Gator Bowl with an 8-3 record, losing at Notre Dame by four (28-24), and to Michigan State (28-27) and Iowa (24-23) by one. In all three of those contests, the Wolverines came within an eyelash of victory and a perfect 11-0 record. The Wolverines also headed to sunny Florida on a five-game win streak after outscoring their last five opponents by a 156-80 margin. Head coach Gary Moeller’s squad knew they were only a heartbeat away from Pasadena, Calif., the Rose Bowl, and their fifth National Title. For Ole Miss, the 1990 season culminated with the invitation to the Gator Bowl, the first New Year’s Day bowl for a Rebel team since a Jan. 2 Gator Bowl date with Auburn in 1971. The Rebels opened the 1991 slate at 1-1 before an inspiring 21-17, last-second victory over Arkansas in Little Rock that sent Ole Miss on a sevengame winning streak and put them in the thick of the SEC race. Only a 22-13, CBS-nationally televised loss to Tennessee at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis stood between Ole Miss and a spot in the USF&G Sugar Bowl as the Southeastern Conference champion. Michigan was making its 16th straight bowl appearance. Meanwhile, Ole Miss was making its second consecutive bowl appearance, its fourth under head coach Billy Brewer and its 24th postseason bowl date since 1936.

A dense fog, overcast skies and temperatures in the high 50s could have very well signaled a sign of things to come for Ole Miss. The weather, as it was reported, seemed more appropriate for Wolverine home contests in Ann Arbor than the resort area of Northeast Florida. Ole Miss took the opening kickoff at its own 27-yard line and moved inside Michigan territory at the 49, as quarterback Tom Luke had three nice scampers for 15 yards. The Wolverine defense stopped the Rebels’ drive when outside linebacker Martin Davis sacked Luke for a 10-yard loss, and Luke just missed wide receiver Vincent Brownlee on a fly pattern down the right sidelines. After a 28-yard punt by Charles Childers, Michigan drove from its 27 to the Ole Miss 23 in 12 plays and appeared to be heading for the initial score of the contest, but Rebels’ defensive back Tyrone Ashley picked off a Wolverine pass at the seven and dashed 60 yards to the Wolverine 33 to set up Ole Miss’ first scoring opportunity. However, Rebel fullback Ed Thigpen mishandled a pass from Luke that Michigan linebacker John Milligan recovered at the Wolverine 24, which stopped the Ole Miss drive. Michigan finally broke the drought when quarterback Elvis Grbac connected with wideout Desmond Howard on a 63-yard scoring bomb. Ole Miss rallied to cut the lead to 7-3 midway through the second quarter on a Gator Bowl-record 51-yard field goal by Brian Lee. After suffering through a dismal regular season, hitting only three-of-13 field goal attempts, Lee nailed the 51-yarder, giving hope for the large contingent of Rebel fans on hand. Michigan scored once more before halftime, capping a seven-play, 78-yard drive with a seven-yard touchdown pass from Grbac to Jarrod Bunch with just over four minutes remaining. The third quarter proved to be the turning point for the Wolverines. What was a close contest at the intermission, 14-3, turned into an all-Michigan affair in that third quarter. The Wolverines scored three times, twice on long passes from Grbac, and turned up their defensive pressure to thwart any and all Ole Miss scoring threats. The Ole Miss defense did stop Michigan in the final quarter on two of the Wolverine’s three possessions, forcing a fumble and an interception by cornerback Danny Boyd. Michigan ran out the clock on its final possession of the afternoon. Statistically, the numbers backed up Michi-gan’s performance on the playing field. The Wolverines totaled 35 first downs and 715 yards of total offense, while limiting the Rebels to 20 first downs and 333 total yards. Ashley turned in a fine overall performance for Ole

For the third time in 10 years, Ole Miss and Air Force faced each other in a bowl game. For the second time in four years, the Rebels and the Falcons were pitted against each other in the Liberty Bowl. The 1992 Liberty Bowl on New Year’s Eve in Memphis, Russ Shows Tenn., looked to be a rematch of the 1989 classic that saw the Rebels outscore Air Force 42-29. This contest, however, would have a relentless defense against a ground-churning offense. Ole Miss entered the game as the nation’s sixth-best defense and the third-stingiest against the run, while Air Force boasted one of college football’s most powerful ground attacks. In the end, defense won out as the Rebels blanked the Falcons, 13-0, marking the first time in 150 games that an Air Force team had been shut out. Ole Miss defensive coordinator Joe Lee Dunn’s defense, who wreaked havoc on all 12 opponents in 1992, was responsible for the shutout. The Rebel defensive troops limited Air Force to 104 yards on the ground on 47 carries, only the third time an opposing offense broke the 100-yard rushing barrier against Ole Miss. The Falcons finished the game with 185 total yards, an average of 2.9 yards per play. The defensive unit was responsible for the shutout, marking the fourth game in the season in which Ole Miss did not allow its opponent into the end zone. The New Year’s Eve crowd at Liberty Bowl Stadium was exposed to a windy, gloomy, 38-degree winter evening, with a wind-chill factor that dipped the temperature into the teens. The fans were warmed, however, by the Rebels’ defensive performance which held Air Force to the second-lowest yardage total of any Ole Miss foe in 1992. On the first play of the game, Obasi Onuoha, one of the Falcons’ speedy wishbone backs, darted off left tackle for 15 yards. Onuoha’s gainer proved to be Air Force’s longest run from scrimmage in the game. The defense stiffened after two Air Force first downs and turned the ball over to the offense at the Ole Miss 24-yard line. After senior quarterback Russ Shows converted a first down on a third-down play, fullback Marvin Courtney raced up the middle for 12 yards to the 46, and Shows scampered around right end on the option for a 24-yard gain. The drive stalled at the Air Force 29, and senior Brian Lee’s 46-yard field goal was blocked by Stephen Russ and scooped up by Mike Rodgers. Rodgers advanced the ball 31 yards to the Ole Miss 47.

The Falcons reached the Rebel 30-yard line, but Chris MacInnis’ 47-yard field goal try was short. The Rebels got on the scoreboard on their next possession. On the initial play of the series, Shows connected with wideout Eddie Small on a 49-yard bomb that placed the Rebels on the Falcon 21-yard line. Six plays later, tailback Dou Innocent spun into the end zone for a five-yard touchdown run. Lee’s point after gave Ole Miss a 7-0 lead. Innocent, who led all rushers with 65 yards on 17 attempts, carried the ball five times on the drive for 19 yards. The Ole Miss defense showed its might on the Falcons’ first series of the second quarter. Air Force fullback Joe Parisi botched a handoff, and Rebel linebacker Cassius Ware pounced on the loose ball at the Falcon 15-yard line. Ware collected 10 tackles for the game, including two sacks for minus 11 yards. The junior college transfer, in his first year in an Ole Miss uniform, was voted the Most Outstanding Defensive Player. The Rebels cashed in on the gift and, after three plays, netted eight yards. Lee then nailed a 24-yard field goal to increase the Ole Miss lead to 10-0 with 11:11 to play in the first half. The second quarter wound down on a wild note. With 5:28 left, the Rebels lined up first-and-10 on their own 22. Falcon Johnny Harrison stripped Innocent of the ball, and Matt Newby recovered to place Air Force at the Rebel 26. The Falcons were knocking on the goal line, threatening to cut into the Rebel lead. On third-and-six from the nine-yard line, halfback Wayne Young lofted a pass intended for receiver Clarence Hopkins. Ole Miss cornerback Danny Boyd picked off the pass in the end zone, his ninth career interception, to keep the Falcons off the scoreboard. The Rebels, however, gave the ball back to the Falcons on the next series. Richard Chisholm’s punt was blocked by Jason Bowers, placing Air Force in good field position at the Rebel 38 with 2:01 left in the half. Five plays advanced Air Force to the 24-yard line and, on fourth down, MacInnis’ 41-yard field goal attempt was wide left, and the Rebels took a 10-0 lead into halftime. The next Ole Miss possession began with a 38-yard throw and catch from Shows to Germaine Kohn. Shows completed nine of 19 passes on the night for 163 yards and was named the Liberty Bowl’s Most Outstanding Offensive Player. The Rebels got inside the 10-yard line and had to settle for a 29-yard Lee field goal, which was enough to put the game away and give Ole Miss the 13-0 win. The victory was the Rebels’ fourth in as many Liberty Bowl appearances and 14th overall bowl win.

The win gave the Rebels an 8-4 mark for the season and the national pollsters rewarded their efforts with a No. 22 ranking. It was also Ole Miss’ 15th bowl victory in 26 trips.

MOTOR CITY BOWL Ole Miss 34 Marshall 31

Ole Miss returned to postseason action after a four-year hiatus, and for the first time under head coach Tommy Tuberville, with a trip to the inaugural Ford Motor City Bowl in Pontiac, Mich. The return to post-season capped a memorable year for Deuce McAllister the Rebels that included a 36-21 win over No. 8 LSU in Baton Rouge and a dramatic 15-14 last second win over arch-rival Mississippi State that sent Ole Miss bowling with a 7-4 record. Ole Miss’ opponent was the upstart Marshall Thundering Herd, which came into the contest with a 10-2 record and claimed the Mid-American Conference championship in their first year of competition at the Division I-A level. Marshall possessed a high-powered offense that averaged 37.8 points and 444.9 yards in total offense per game and featured Heisman Trophy finalist wide receiver Randy Moss, the Biletnikoff Award winner as the country’s top receiver. In what was one of the most exciting contests of the 1997 bowl season, the Rebels and the Thundering Herd combined for over 1,000 yards in total offense, changed leads six times and provided one of the most exciting finishes in Ole Miss’ tradition-rich bowl history. Freshman running back Deuce McAllister and senior quarterback Stewart Patridge keyed a nine-play, 75-yard scoring march, culminating in McAllister’s one-yard plunge with 31 seconds remaining to give the Rebels a 34-31 lead. Marshall had enough time for one last desperate attempt. On the game’s last play, Thundering Herd quarterback Chad Pennington connected with Moss on a 32-yard pass to the Rebel 34, however, as Moss caught the ball senior linebacker Broc Kreitz jarred the ball loose. Kreitz recovered the ball as time expired to allow Ole Miss to hang on for the win. Patridge earned Most Valuable Player of the Game honors with his 332-yard passing performance, completing 29-of-47 passes with a career-high three touchdowns. McAllister carried the ball eight times for 71 yards and caught one pass for a 20-yard score that put Ole Miss up 21-17 in the third quarter after trailing 17-7 at halftime. Patridge helped give Ole Miss an early 7-0 lead as he connected with sophomore receiver Grant Heard for a 54-yard pass on the game’s first play to move the ball down to the Marshall one-yard line. Senior running back

OLE MISS MARSHALL

John Avery, who would gain 110 yards on 27 carries, scored on the next play to give Ole Miss the early 7-0 lead just 24 seconds into the game. Marshall would answer, though, on its first play from scrimmage when Pennington hit Moss on a fly pattern and out-ran the Rebel secondary for an 80-yard touchdown to tie the game at 7-7. Marshall grabbed its first lead of the game at 10-7 on Billy Malashevich’s 36-yard field goal near the end of the first quarter. The Herd made it 17-7 when Larry Moore intercepted a Stewart Patridge pass and returned it 16 yards to the Ole Miss 44 to help set-up Pennington’s 19-yard scoring pass to LaVorn Colclough six plays later. Ole Miss had a golden opportunity to trim the lead before the half. The Rebels marched nearly the length of the field down to the Marshall three-yard line with under a minute left in the half. However, a five-yard penalty moved the Rebels back to the eight-yard line and Patridge was stopped at the three-yard line on last play of the half. The Rebels regrouped at halftime. Ole Miss forced Marshall to punt on its first possession of the half and senior H-Back Andre Rone returned the kick 22 yards to the Marshall 39. The Rebels also picked up an additional 10 yards on a Herd penalty, bringing the ball up to the 29. Ole Miss capitalized on its good fortune four plays later when Patridge hit Rone from 13 yards out for a touchdown. Lindsey’s extra point cut the deficit to 17-14 with 11:46 left in the third. The Rebels then grabbed their first lead since the game’s opening moments on their next possession. Patridge hit McAllister in the right flat, and the freshman raced untouched 20 yards into the end zone for a 21-17 lead. Ole Miss would carry that lead into the start of a wild fourth quarter in which the lead would change hands four times. The Thundering Herd regained the lead when Pennington hit Doug Chapman on a six-yard screen pass to make it 24-21 with 10 minutes left. A 19-yard pass from Patridge to Heard put the Rebels back up, but Lindsey misfired on the extra point to keep Marshall within three at 27-24 with 5:39 left to play. Marshall drove right down the field on the next possession, going 80 yards in nine plays, capped by Chapman’s nine-yard burst up the middle to take its final lead, 31-27 with 2:40 to play. However, that was more than enough time for Ole Miss as Patridge drove the Rebels 75 yards in nine plays for the game-winning score. Patridge completed four-of-five passes for 36 yards

bowl history

INDEPENDENCE BOWL Ole Miss 35 Texas Tech 18

The story of the 1998 Ole Miss Rebel football postseason could be read as an “against-all-odds” story. And, while Ole Miss had a storybook ending to its postseason with a 35-18 upset of Texas Tech in the Sanford Independence Bowl, it was not an easy road to victory. The hope of postseason action did not look promising immediately Romaro Miller following the regular season. Ole Miss, which had a 6-2 record at the end of October, dropped its final three games of the regular season to finish at 6-5. Following their loss to Georgia on Nov. 21, the Rebels suffered possibly a greater loss when starting quarterback Romaro Miller was injured on the final play of the game, knocking the sophomore signal caller out for the finale versus arch-rival Mississippi State. Then, after the loss to the Bulldogs on Nov. 26, the Ole Miss program lost its head coach when Tommy Tuberville accepted the head coaching post at Auburn on Nov. 28. The bowl invitations were just over a week away, but the prognosis for a Rebel bowl game did not look good. However, Ole Miss picked up the pieces quickly. On Dec. 2, David Cutcliffe, the offensive coordinator for the eventual national champion Tennessee, was named head coach of the Rebel football program. With the quick move of hiring Cutcliffe as head coach, the Rebels moved back into the bowl picture. Then, on Dec. 6, the Rebel team and Ole Miss fans received the news it wanted to hear — the Rebels were going to play in the postseason for the second straight year, this time in the Sanford Independence Bowl in Shreveport. Ole Miss’ opponent in the Sanford Independence Bowl was Texas Tech from the Big XII Conference, but after the invite, another opponent for the Rebels was time. It was less than a month until the game, and Cutcliffe had to assemble a staff and learn his players and the Ole Miss offensive playbook. Cutcliffe put his staff in place, and after first semester final exams, the Rebels took to the practice fields in preparation for the bowl game. The team and coaching staff were making progress as the bowl game got closer, and when the team departed for a short break over Christmas, Ole Miss was ready — with the exception of few game-week preparations — to meet the Red Raiders. However, the Rebels were dealt another big blow when they arrived in Shreveport on Dec. 26. The team learned that Cutcliffe had been hospitalized in Knoxville with pancreatitis the past week. The Rebel mentor was able to join the team on Dec. 27, and the final pieces of the game plan were put in place. The only seemingly good news was the probability that Miller, who was injured just five weeks earlier, would be able to play. Now, only the game remained. The day of the Sanford Independence Bowl arrived, and if the Rebels were not ready to play prior to their arrival at the stadium, they were when they took the field after Cutcliffe’s inspirational pregame speech. With many players calling it the best pregame speech they

had ever heard, the Rebels took the field and gave Cutcliffe a 35-18 win in his first game as head coach. The bowl victory, which was Ole Miss’ second in as many years, was considered the biggest upset of the 1998 bowl season. Miller led the Rebel offense, which piled up 355 total yards, with his 216-yard, three-touchdown performance and was named the bowl’s Offensive MVP. Miller’s three scoring tosses set a Sanford Independence Bowl record. The Ole Miss defense was equally as impressive, with Kendrick Clancy, the bowl’s Defensive MVP, leading a free-flying unit that held Texas Tech to 285 total yards and only 82 yards rushing. The Red Raiders entered the bowl contest with the nation’s fourth-leading rusher, Ricky Williams. However, the Ole Miss defense limited Williams, who averaged 144 yards per game during the regular season, to only 85 yards on 23 carries. The Rebel secondary also proved to be just as tough, holding Texas Tech’s top receiver, Donnie Hart to only four catches for 50 yards. Rebel strong safety Anthony Magee tied a Sanford Independence Bowl record with two interceptions. As good as the final score and the postgame honors felt, the contest did not begin well for the Rebels. After the teams exchanged their first possessions in the first quarter, Ole Miss had the ball on its own 38 yardline when Miller fumbled. Texas Tech’s Ty Ardoin recovered the Rebel miscue and returned it to the Rebel 25. Four plays later, the Red Raiders were on the board, as quarterback Dan Peters connected with Derek Dorris on a 22-yard scoring strike. The tandem of King’s and Ole Miss’ defensive stand gave the Rebel offense a golden opportunity at the Texas Tech 33, and Miller took advantage of the opportunity — immediately. On the first play from scrimmage, Miller hit Ken Lucas for a 33-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 7-7 at the end of the first quarter. Ole Miss carried that momentum over to the second quarter, as the Rebels took the lead for good with an 11-play, 75-yard drive that ended in a Miller’s second touchdown pass of the game, a 32-yard connection with Deuce McAllister. The Red Raiders then responded with their own scoring drive, which ended in a Chris Birkholz 49-yard field goal to cut the Ole Miss lead to 14-10. Following the Texas Tech score, the Rebels had 2:18 to put some points on the board before halftime. However, Miller was intercepted on the fourth play of the drive, giving the ball — and some momentum — back to Texas Tech. The Red Raiders took over on their own 44 with 30 seconds on the clock and moved the ball to the Rebel 35, but quarterback Matt Tittle was unable to connect with Dee Jackson in the end zone as time expired. After a scoreless third quarter, the Rebels took control of the game on both sides of the ball in the final 15 minutes of action. On the Rebels’ first possession of the fourth quarter, Miller threw his bowl-record third touchdown pass to a diving Cory Peterson in the end zone, giving Ole Miss a 21-10 advantage. As the Rebel lead grew, so grew the momentum and the confidence of the Ole Miss defense. Already playing a solid game, the Rebel defensive unit got even stronger in the final quarter. After the Rebel touchdown, the defense gave the ball

119

right back to the offense, as Magee intercepted a Tittle pass and returned it to the Texas Tech 31 yardline. Eight plays later, McAllister scored his second touchdown of the game, this time on a four-yard rush. The score gave the Rebels a commanding 28-10 lead with only 3:28 left in the game. The Red Raider offense could not mount a response to the Rebel touchdowns. On consecutive Texas Tech possessions, the Ole Miss defense stopped the Red Raiders on a fourth-and-two opportunity and another Magee interception. Magee’s second pick setup the Rebel offense at its own 13, but Kevin McCullar scooped up a Ole Miss fumble and returned it 14 yards for the score. With the following two-point conversion, Texas Tech had climbed to within 10 points at 28-18 with only 44 seconds left in the contest. Still needing a miracle for a comeback, the Red Raiders attempted an on-side kick, but the miracle proved to be for the Rebels. Birkholz’s on-side kick popped up to McAllister at the Texas Tech 43, and the sophomore running back rambled all the way to the end zone for his third score of the game, putting the game away and placing a “feel-good” ending to a wild postseason ride for the Rebels.

Griffin led the Sooners with 86 yards on 12 carries, while Daniels was Oklahoma’s top receiver with six catches for 109 yards. Ole Miss and Oklahoma combined for two Independence Bowl records with 592 passing yards and 57 completions.

INDEPENDENCE BOWL Ole Miss 27 Oklahoma 25

It was December 31, 1999, and how appropriate that two of college football’s most storied programs over the past 100 years would meet in the final football contest of the 20th century when Ole Miss and Oklahoma faced each other in the 1999 Sanford Independence Bowl. In one of the most exciting games of the 1999 bowl season, Lew Binkley the Rebels pulled out a dramatic, last-second win over Oklahoma, 27-25 for its second straight Sanford Independence Bowl victory. Ole Miss junior kicker Les Binkley booted a 39-yard field goal in the game’s final seconds to give the Rebels’ their fourth straight bowl win. In the early stages of the fourth quarter, the Rebels were clinging to a 21-18 lead when they drove 70 yards in 14 plays to set up a Binkley 29-yard field goal to increase the Ole Miss lead to 24-18. Following the Ole Miss score, the Sooners were driving to take the lead and had moved the ball to the Rebel 24 yard line. However, Sooner quarterback Josh Heupel was sacked by Shane Elam and fumbled the ball. Anthony Sims recovered the fumble for the Rebels and halted the Oklahoma scoring threat. Ole Miss, however, was unable to put together a gameending drive and punted the ball back to the Sooners with 4:15 left in the contest. Oklahoma took over on its own 21, and on the strength of Heupel’s arm, drove 79 yards in only six plays to tie the contest at 24-all. The Sooner score came on a 17-yard toss from Heupel to Quenton Griffin, and following Tim Duncan’s PAT, Oklahoma had its first lead of the game at 25-24 with a little over two minutes left on the clock. Down for the first time in the contest, the Rebels needed a big play if they had hopes of winning their fourth straight bowl game. Ole Miss got that big play on the ensuing kickoff when junior Deuce McAllister took the kickoff at the one yard line and returned it 42 yards to the Rebel 43 yard line with 2:17 remaining. Following his kickoff return, McAllister tore off runs of eight and nine to put Ole Miss into Oklahoma territory. Helped along by a pair of Sooner penalties, the Rebels got an eight-yard completion from Romaro Miller to L.J. Taylor and a five-yard run from Toward Sanford, moving the ball to the Sooner 22 yard line with only three seconds on the clock. After an Oklahoma timeout, Binkley sent his kick through the uprights as time expired for the game winner. Ole Miss dominated the action in the first half, jumping out to a commanding 21-3 lead at halftime. After the teams traded possessions early in the first quarter, the Rebels put the first points of the game on the scoreboard, driving 80 yards in only four plays. Miller, who completed 12-of-17 passes for 158 yards in the first half, keyed the Ole Miss scoring driving, as he connected on all three pass attempts for 77 yards. Miller started the drive with a seven-yard completion to Toward Sanford. After a Joe Gunn run gave the Rebels a first down at their own 30 yard line, Miller unloaded a 45-yard strike to Maurice Flournoy which moved Ole Miss to the Sooner 25. On the next play, Miller struck again, hitting McAllister for a 25-yard touchdown to give Ole Miss a 7-0 lead with 9:09 left in the first quarter.

OLE MISS OKLAHOMA

The Sooners responded later in the first with a short scoring drive after the Oklahoma defense intercepted a Miller pass and returned it to the Rebel 20 yard line. The Sooners, however, could not capitalize fully on the turnover with a touchdown, and settled for a Tim Duncan 34-yard field goal to cut the Ole Miss lead to 7-3. In the second quarter, the Rebel extended their lead with two touchdowns for a 21-3 advantage. Ole Miss’ second touchdown came on a 12-play, 62-yard drive that took nearly six minutes off the clock. Miller was hot again, hitting on all five of his pass attempts for 38 yards. Miller’s fifth completion of the drive was a nine-yard touchdown strike to senior tight end Adam Bettis, giving Ole Miss a 14-3 lead. Again the Sooners tried to answer the Rebel score on their next possession. Oklahoma began its drive on its own 31 yard line, and two plays later, the Sooners were in Ole Miss territory. The Oklahoma drive continued, as the Sooner offense mixed up the run and the pass and moved the ball to the Ole Miss nine yard line. With second-and-4 from the Rebel nine, Heupel, who was 21-of-32 for 184 yards in the first half, took to the air again, but his pass attempt was picked off by Rebel senior Tim Strickland in the end zone, halting the Sooners scoring threat. After the Strickland interception, the Rebels took over on their own 20 with only 4:18 on the clock, looking to put together another scoring drive before halftime. The Ole Miss drive took only one play, a McAllister 80-yard touchdown run to give the Rebels a 21-3 lead. The 80-yard scoring run was the longest run from scrimmage and the longest scoring play in Independence Bowl history. The third quarter proved to be a different story than the second. After the intermission, the Sooners were the more aggressive team on offense, scoring touchdowns on two long drives to get back in the contest. The Oklahoma comeback began with its opening drive of the second half. The Sooners took over on their own 27 and went 73 yards in nine plays to score their first touchdown. Oklahoma scored when Heupel, the Independence Bowl Offensive MVP, hit Jarrail Jackson on a three-yard touchdown toss to pull the Sooners to within 21-10. After an exchange of punts, Oklahoma received the ball on its own 20 yard line to begin its second scoring drive of the quarter. The Sooners took to the air on the drive, as Heupel was 6-of-6 passing for 80 yards. Heupel’s final connection was a 41-yard scoring strike to Brandon Daniels to pull OU to within 21-16. The Sooners decided to go for the two-point conversion, and were successful on Heupel’s toss to Chris Hammons, making the score 21-18 and setting up the fourth-quarter fireworks. McAllister finished the game with 239 all-purpose yards, 121 on the ground, and two touchdowns (1 rushing, 1 receiving). Miller was 18-of-28 passing for 202 yards and two touchdowns, while senior Cory Peterson led the Rebels with five receptions for 51 yards. Defensively, sophomores Eddie Strong and Syniker Taylor led Ole Miss with nine total tackles apiece. Strickland had four tackles and a caused fumble to go along with his interception. McAllister’s 80-yard touchdown run was the second longest of his career, and the second longest in Rebel bowl history. His two touchdowns raised his career bowl total to seven touchdowns, which is an Ole Miss career record. Miller’s two touch-

bowl history OLE MISS WEST VIRGINIA

MUSIC CITY BOWL West Virginia 49 Ole Miss 38

For the fourth straight year, the Rebels went bowling following the 2000 regular season. But, unlike the previous three bowl appearances during the run, Ole Miss came up on the short end, falling 49-38 to West Virginia in the Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tenn. Eli Manning With its fourth consecutive bowl game in the four seasons (1997-2000), Ole Miss was, at the time, the lone Southeastern Conference Western Division school to accomplish that feat. The Music City Bowl was also the final game of West Virginia head coach Don Nehlen’s career. Nehlen finished his career with 202 career victories in his 21 seasons at the helm of the Mountaineer program. Despite the setback, the Rebels proved to be a gutty bunch, posting a furious second-half rally that fell just short. Down 49-9 with under 10 minutes to play in the third quarter, Ole Miss began its march back. In a quick four-play, 65-yard drive, the Rebels scored their first touchdown of the game to cut the Mountaineer lead to 49-16 with 7:52 remaining in the third quarter. Ole Miss senior quarterback Romaro Miller scored the touchdown on a seven-yard run. That scoring drive would be the final one of Miller’s prolific career at Ole Miss, as he would turn over the reins to redshirt freshman quarterback Eli Manning in the fourth quarter. Miller completed 16-of-31 passes for 221 yards in his Music City Bowl appearance. In the final quarter, Manning directed the Rebels to three scoring drives totaling 22 points that cut the West Virginia advantage to 49-38 with nearly seven minutes left to play. Manning finished the drives with touchdown tosses of 23 yards to Jamie Armstrong, 18 yards to Omar Rayford and 16 yards to Toward Sanford. Miller came back on the field for a successful two-point conversion pass to L.J. Taylor following Sanford’s score. Manning’s three touchdown passes tied an Ole Miss bowl record. Down 49-38, the Rebel defense stopped West Virginia with 3:32 left in the game, giving the quick-strike Ole Miss offense another opportunity to cut the lead even further. The Rebels took over on their own 39 yard line, but on the first play, Manning’s pass attempt — under heavy pressure — was under-thrown and Mountaineer defensive back Lance Frazier picked it off. Frazier intercepted the pass at the West Virginia 33 yard line and returned it 40 yards to the Ole Miss 27. From there, West Virginia ran out the final 3:16 on the clock to send

the retiring Nehlen out with a victory. The Rebels found themselves facing a tall secondhalf mountain to climb as a result of West Virginia’s offensive explosion in the first half. The Mountaineers got things going on their first possession when fullback Wes Ours turned a short screen pass into a 40-yard score for a 7-0 lead. That scoring drive was the first of five straight for West Virginia in the first half. In the second quarter, the Mountaineers added four more touchdowns on three Brad Lewis scoring strikes of 11 yards to Khori Ivy and 35 and 60 yards to Antonio Brown and an Ours one-yard run. The Rebels answered West Virginia’s first three touchdowns with Les Binkley field goals. One of Binkley’s three field goals was a career-long 47-yarder. The Mountaineers, though, held a 35-9 advantage at the break. After halftime, West Virginia continued to ride high on its emotional wave, opening the second half with a Shawn Terry 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdowm to push the lead to 42-9. The Mountaineers added another score — a Lewis 10-yard pass to Ivy — before the Rebels’ began their comeback. Manning finished the contest with 167 yards on 12-of-20 passing. Freshman Chris Collins led the Rebel receiving corps with five catches for 65 yards. Joe Gunn was the Rebels’ leader on the ground with 34 yards on eight carries. Defensively, Kevin Thomas led Ole Miss with seven tackles and two TFLs. Syniker Taylor added six tackles and an interception. For the Mountaineers, Lewis hit on 15 of his 21 pass attempts for 318 yards and five touchdowns. The five scoring passes were a Music City Bowl record. Brown (156 yards) and Ivy (99 yards) each caught six passes and two touchdowns apiece. Avon Cobourne led the West Virginia ground attack with 125 yards on 27 carries.

INDEPENDENCE BOWL Ole Miss 27 Nebraska 23

After the 2001 season ended in disappointment without a bowl bid, the 2002 Ole Miss squad delivered what many Rebel fans wanted for the holiday season — a return to the postseason. In early December, the Rebels got the invite to the MainStay Independence Bowl, but Ole Miss’ opponent would be quite arguably the biggest challenge the program Jessie Mitchell had faced. The foe was Nebraska, the perennial powerhouse of college football. The third-winningest program in the history of college football, the Cornhuskers were crowned the “Team of the 1990s” with three national titles and 108 wins during the decade. From 1997-2001, Nebraska had posted the most wins of any team in the nation (55). Although the Cornhuskers came into the Independence Bowl with only a 7-6 mark in 2002, they were still the favorite to record a 21st bowl victory in their history. The Rebels, though, were undaunted entering a bowl game many said they could not win. Sure, the Ole Miss players and coaches had tremendous repsect for Nebraska and its history. But, the Rebel program had a great deal more to play for than just pride. A win would give Ole Miss a winning record for the sixth straight year, marking the longest streak of consecutive winning seasons since the Rebel teams of 1965-71 put together seven straight winning campaigns. A victory would also make David Cutcliffe the first Rebel mentor to post winning records in his first four seasons since Harry Mehre did so from 1938-41. Behind Eli Manning’s 313-yard passing performance and an inspired Rebel defense, Ole Miss posted one of the program’s most defining victories with a thrilling 27-23 win over Nebraska. The win gave the Rebels a 7-6 record. The setback dropped the Cornhuskers to 7-7, marking the first time the storied program had a .500 or worse record since the 1961 team went 3-6-1. The outcome didn’t look like it would favor the Rebels in the early going. Though Nebraska led only 3-0 after the first quarter, the Cornhuskers dominated the yardage game, outgaining Ole Miss 125 yards to 36. Josh Brown’s 29-yard field goal gave Nebraska the 3-0 lead, and just three plays into the second stanza, the Big Red Machine increased its lead to 10-0 on a 41-yard touchdown connection from Jammal Lord to Matt Herian. The Rebels were stopped on their next drive, and it looked as if Nebraska would put the game away early. But, Cody Ridgeway’s punt pinned the Cornhuskers deep inside the 20. After picking up one first down, Lord went for the deep ball against the Rebel secondary, but Von Hutchins picked off the attempt and ran it back to the Cornhusker 27. Six plays later, Ole Miss was back in the contest when Manning hit Kerry Johnson for an 11-yard score to cut the Nebraska lead to 10-7. After an exchange of possessions, Ole Miss took over at its own 13, but was unable to pick up a first down. Ridgeway then boomed a 46-yard punt that Nebraska All-America DeJuan Groce returned 60 yards for a score, giving the Cornhuskers a 17-7

advantage with only 2:43 left before halftime. The Rebels got the ball back at their own 12 with a little under three minutes on the clock. Not content with sitting on the ball, Manning and the Ole Miss offense aggressively moved the ball down the field. Manning directed an impressive 88-yard drive in a little over a minute that ended with a Toward Sanford 1-yard run for the score. On the drive, Manning was 6-of-8 passing for 87 yards. Despite the last minute drive, Nebraska still looked in control on the stat sheet. The Cornhuskers had outgained Ole Miss 262 yards to 179, including a commanding 207 yards to -8 on the ground. Aside from the Rebels’ two scoring drives, Ridgeway proved to be the first-half constant for Ole Miss. He punted five times for a 47.4 average and pinned the high-powered Nebraska offense inside the 20 twice. While the Cornhuskers controlled the first half of play, the second half proved a different story. The Rebels came out strong on their first drive, culminating in a Jonathan Nichols’ 37-yard field goal to tie the game at 17-all. The Rebel ground game got into gear on the drive, netting 31 yards after having negative yardage in the first half. The Cornhuskers, however, responded on the ensuing drive. After returning the kickoff to near midfield, Nebraska’s running game picked up where it left off in the first half. The drive’s first three plays netted 48 yards rushing, and put the Cornhuskers at the Ole Miss 6 yard line. But, that’s when the Rebel defense dug in and began to take over the game. The Ole Miss defensive unit held Nebraska to zero yards on the next two plays, and the Cornhuskers had to settle for a Brown 23-yard field goal to retake the lead at 20-17 with 7:06 left in the third quarter. Although there was nearly a quarter and a half to play, the Rebels claimed their victory on that drive, and the numbers — from that point on — told the story. After Nebraska had moved to inside the Rebel 10, the Cornhuskers had 255 yards rushing. By game’s end, the visitors from Lincoln had 266 yards on the ground, as the Rebel defense held the vaunted Nebraska ground attack to only 11 yards the final 22:06. The passing game didn’t do much better, as Lord was only 4-of-9 for 38 yards over that same span of time. With the defense clicking, the Rebel offense used that momentum to give Ole Miss its first lead of the game with 1:00 left in the third. Sanford scored his second touchdown of the game on a 1-yard run. The Rebel five-play scoring drive began at the Nebraska 35 yard line after a Cornhusker fake punt attempt failed. Following Nichols’ PAT, the Rebels led 24-20. In the fourth quarter, an exchange of possessions gave Ole Miss the ball at its own 3. Unable to pick up the first down, the Rebels punted and Nebraska took over at the Ole Miss 39. The Cornhuskers moved the ball to the 10 yard line, but again, the Rebel defense held. With first-and-goal on the 10, Nebraska lost two yards on the three plays and had to settle for another Brown field goal, this time from 29 yards. The Cornhuskers had cut the lead to 24-23, but the momentum remained with the Rebels. The Ole Miss offense took that momentum and translated it into points on the next drive. Manning guided the Rebels to the Nebraska 25, where Nichols added a 43-yard field goal for a 27-23 advantage. Manning was only 2-of-3 on the drive for 51

122

yards, but both completions came on key second-and-10 situations. On their next two possessions, the Cornhuskers managed only six total offensive plays for 18 yards. Nebraska’s final chance ended at the buzzer when Travis Johnson intercepted a Lord pass. What looked like Cornhusker offensive domination in the halftime stats turned in Ole Miss’ favor at the end. The Rebels outgained Nebraska in total yards 365 to 359, but the story was the Ole Miss defense in the second half. The Cornhusker offense managed only 59 yards rushing and 38 passing after the break. Manning, named the bowl’s Most Valuable Offensive Player, finished the game completing 25 of his 44 attempts for 313 yards. Manning connected with eight different receivers, including Chris Collins and Bill Flowers with six catches apiece. NEBRASKA OLE MISS

After a 42 year hiatus, the Rebels made a triumphant return to Dallas as 16th-ranked Ole Miss claimed a 31-28 win over 21st-ranked Oklahoma State in the 2004 playing of the SBC Cotton Bowl. Eli Manning led the charge for the Rebels as the senior Josh Cooper quarterback and Heisman finalist passed for 259 yards and three touchdowns on his way to Offensive MVP honors as he rallied the Rebels 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 Eli Manning 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 afour-yard touchdown run to tie the game with 1:17 to go in the first quarter. Oklahoma State took the 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.

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 Marshay Green and beat No. 8 Texas Tech 47-34, Jan. 2 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 halfDexter McCluster time. 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-EC!’’ 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 took

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.

Ole Miss 21 Oklahoma State 7

Dexter McCluster gave Ole Miss fans a finale to remember, rushing for 184 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead 2-yard run on a direct snap with 4:03 left as the Rebels beat No. 18 Oklahoma State 21-7 in the Cotton Bowl on Saturday. McCluster also had an 86-yard TD run in the second quarter after the senior had already become the Dexter McCluster first Southeastern Conference player with 1,000 yards rushing and 500 yards receiving in the same season. Ole Miss (9-4) had five turnovers in the game, but Oklahoma State had six in the fourth quarter, and seven overall. The Rebels failed to capitalize on Kendrick Lewis’ two interceptions, but McCluster scored after a fumble to break a 7-7 tie. Patrick Trahan picked up another fumble Patrick Trahan and returned it 34 yards for a touchdown less than a minute later, then intercepted a deflected fourth-down pass by Oklahoma State’s Zac Robinson on the next drive. The Cowboys (9-4) missed a chance for their first 10-win season since 1988 when coach Mike Gundy was their starting quarterback. Ole Miss coach and former Oklahoma State quarterback Houston Nutt was one of their coaches then. Nutt has led to Rebels to consecutive 9-4 seasons, both capped by Cotton Bowl victories. Ole Miss had lost all eight of its SEC games in 2007 before Nutt arrived. Ole Miss and Oklahoma State, also 9-4 a year ago, came into this season with unprecedented expectations. Both were in the AP preseason Top 10 before early losses. Each entered the Cotton Bowl, the first in Cowboys Stadium instead of the game’s namesake stadium, coming off decisive losses against their instate conference rivals in their regular-season finales. They finished with a mistake-filled game in which both teams had missed opportunities - each was stopped on fourthand-goal from the 1, and Ole Miss missed two field goal attempts. McCluster was the obvious standout, the game’s offensive MVP for the second year in a row. He had 34 carries along with five catches for 45 yards. He leaves Ole Miss with 3,923 career all-purpose yards, second in school history behind Deuce McAllister’s 4,889. After becoming only Ole Miss’ fourth 1,000-yard rusher on his third carry of the game, McCluster surpassed 500 yards receiving on the final play of the first quarter. Yet, his best was still to come. McCluster’s 86-yard TD run in the second quarter came on a handoff from freshman quarterback Nathan Stanley. McCluster went to the right and through a gap, running untouched for the second-longest run in the 74-year history of the Cotton Bowl. That was Ole Miss’ first offensive play after Jevan Snead threw an interception and was hit so hard on a blindside block while pursuing the defender with the ball that his helmet got

knocked off. Snead, a junior QB, returned to the game and finished 13 of 23 for 168 yards. Robinson was 13 of 27 for 118 yards with four interceptions in his last game. Oklahoma State tied the game at 7-7 midway through the third quarter when running back Keith Toston took a direct snap on third-and-goal from the 1. He made a step toward the line, then stopped and threw a jump pass to Wilson Youman for a touchdown. Ole Miss made it to the 3 after Lewis’ first interception. But after a penalty, two sacks of Snead and an incomplete pass, Joshua Shene was wide left on a 38-yard field goal try. Shene, who missed only three kicks in the regular season, hit the left upright on a 41-yard attempt in the third quarter after a 63-yard punt return by Marshay Green set the Rebels up at the 13. At the Rebels 19 after the second miss, Robinson thought he had a free play when there was no whistle despite an Ole Miss defender already over the line after a Cowboys lineman might have moved before the snap. But there was no flag, and Lewis picked it off in the end zone. On third-and-goal from just outside the 1 in the first quarter, Ole Miss’ 330-pound defensive tackle Jerrell Powe lined up at fullback like he had done several times this season. Powe got his first carry, but was stuffed just short by linebacker Donald Booker. The Rebels lined up and tried again with the same result, with Booker stopping Powe. Powe got payback in the third quarter when Oklahoma State tried to score on fourth-and-goal from the 1. Powe wrapped up Toston’s legs behind the line before Lewis hit him high to stop him short.

It was Ole Miss’ first bowl appearance since topping Oklahoma State 21-7 Bo Wallace in the 2010 AT&T Cotton Bowl. The 38 points scored by Ole Miss is a BBVA Compass Bowl record. “I try to not make too much out of a single game either way, but it’s no question that this advances our journey a bit and the process we’re on to develop in the SEC West year in and year out,” Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said. Ole Miss has now won nine of its last 10 bowl games and each of its last five. The win moves Ole Miss’ bowl record to 22-12. The Rebels’ 22 bowl victories are tied for the 10th most in the country with Auburn and LSU. Ole Miss sophomore quarterback Bo Wallace, the BBVA Compass Bowl MVP, finished the game 22-32 passing for 151 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. The Rebels spread the ball around through the air with three receivers catching five or more passes. Freshman running back I’Tavius Mathers led Ole Miss on the ground with six carries for 96 yards, including a 62-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, the longest in BBVA Compass Bowl history. On the defensive side of the ball, junior middle linebacker Mike Marry led Ole Miss with seven tackles, four tackles for loss and a forced fumble. Playing in front of a predominantly red-clad BBVA Compass Bowl record crowd of 59,135, Ole Miss got off to a quick start. Rebels cornerback Senquez Golson dropped back into coverage and picked off Pitt quarterback Tino Sunseri’s pass and returned it to the Panthers’ 23-yard line. The interception was Golson’s third of the season, with all three coming in the last three games. Following Golson’s interception, which was just the third against Sunseri this season, Wallace capped off a five-play, 23-yard drive with a 14-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Ja-Mes Logan to give the Rebels a 7-0 lead. Wallace later completed his eighth consecutive pass to start the game with a 27-yard touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Randall Mackey, who made a gorgeous diving catch in the end zone to give the Rebels a 14-0 lead. Mackey’s touchdown reception was the first of his career. Following a Pitt touchdown, Wallace completed his third touchdown pass of the game with an 18-yard strike to sophomore wide receiver Vince Sanders. The touchdown pass, Wallace’s 22nd of the year, moved him up to fourth on the Ole Miss single-season list, surpassing Eli Manning’s 2002 total of 21.

The Rebels closed out the first half with a 31-yard field goal from Bryon Rose that gave the Rebels a 24-10 lead going into the break. Ole Miss’ 24 first-half points tied the BBVA Compass Bowl record for most points scored in a half. Ole Miss took a 21-point lead with 21 seconds remaining in the third quarter on a one-yard quarterback sneak from Barry Brunetti that put the game on ice. The Rebels’ defense gave up just four yards in the entire third quarter, and did not allow a single first down. Following the game, Freeze was doused with yellow Gatorade and spoke about how far Ole Miss came during the season after being picked to finish last in the Southeastern Conference in the preseason prognostications. “Our guys really chose to buy in and decided we can determine who we want to be. We don’t have to have someone else determine that,” Freeze said. “I didn’t know if we could (go to a bowl) or not, but I knew we could attack each week as an individual challenge and game. I was very clear with our goal in year one, that was to play with passion of football for our great university. I have no question, it was not always the prettiest thing, but I don’t doubt one single game that we didn’t give passion for our university.”

MUSIC CITY BOWL

OLE MISS GEORGIA TECH

Ole Miss 25 Georgia Tech 17

Ole Miss junior quarterback Bo Wallace threw one touchdown and ran for two more, and the Rebels’ defense held the Georgia Tech tripleoption attack in check en route to a 25-17 victory Monday afternoon at LP Field in the 2013 Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl. The Rebels’ victory was their sixth straight bowl victory, which is Bo Wallace currently the longest in the country. Auburn and Florida State, which play each other in the national championship game Jan. 6, each have bowl winning streaks of five games. “I have been careful to say that one game doesn’t really define where a program is, particularly in the early stages,” head coach Hugh Freeze said. “I still believe that, but I also said that there is no question that winning a bowl game is very advantageous heading into recruiting and the offseason and for the confidence of our young men. “Ole Miss is tied for the nation’s longest bowl win streak right now, and I didn’t want to screw that up today. To win two bowl games in our first two years with what we inherited says that we’re headed in the right direction for sure. It’s a very positive step.” Wallace, who was named the game’s MVP, finished the game 22-32 for 256 yards, as well as a career-high 86 yards rushing on 13 carries. The Pulaski, Tenn., native’s 342 total yards Monday pushed his season total to 3,701, topping Eli Manning’s school record of 3,572 yards set in 2003. “I have said that there’s no way we would be sitting here with 15 wins, including two bowl victories, in two years had Bo not been here with us,” Freeze said. “I knew from watching him prepare that the way we ended the season didn’t set well with him, nor did it for me. I liked the way he prepared and I’m proud that he was able to have the game he had today.” Junior Donte Moncrief led the Ole Miss receiving corps with six catches for 113 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, junior linebacker Serderius Bryant and sophomore defensive tackle Issac Gross each had eight tackles, while freshman Tony Conner and senior defensive end D.T. Shackelford had seven tackles. Bryant led the Rebels with a team-high six solo tackles, and Gross recorded a team-high three tackles for loss. Despite just over a month of time elapsing since its last game, the Ole Miss offense came out flying, going 75 yards in a fast-paced 15 plays, capped off by a 17-yard touchdown run by Wallace on third and long. Georgia Tech followed Ole Miss’ drive with an equally impressive opening drive, going 74 yards in 14 plays to tie the game at seven points apiece. The Ole Miss defense clamped down after that though, allowing just 34 total yards for the remainder of the half, and 75 total yards in the Yellow Jackets’ seven drives after their score. “We knew that there would be an adjustment to the speed at which Georgia Tech operates offensively,” Freeze said. “I

couldn’t be more proud of (defensive coordinator) Dave Wommack, his staff and the job they did in scheming and giving us a plan. We had some outstanding individual efforts from Issac Gross, D.T. Shackelford and certain others, too.” Wallace broke open the 7-7 tie with 7:59 remaining in the first half when he hit Moncrief in stride down the right sideline for a 28-yard touchdown. It was Moncrief’s sixth touchdown reception of the year. On Georgia Tech’s second drive of the third quarter, sophomore Mike Hilton caused a fumble which was recovered by fellow sophomore Trae Elston at the Yellow Jackets’ 44-yard line. Ole Miss took advantage of the game’s first turnover with Wallace scampering 10 yards up the middle for his second rushing touchdown of the day, giving Ole Miss a 20-7 lead. Down 23-7, Georgia Tech scored 10 unanswered points in 1:18 of game time in the fourth quarter to pull within six at 23-17. The Ole Miss defense sniffed out a Georgia Tech reverse play with 4:22 remaining in the game and forced a fumble. The fumble was recovered by the Yellow Jackets in their own end zone, resulting in a safety, which gave the Rebels a 25-17 lead. Facing third and 13 with less than 2:30 remaining in the game, Wallace found freshman wide receiver Laquon Treadwell down the middle of the field for 27 yards to extend the Ole Miss drive and keep the Georgia Tech offense off the field. The Yellow Jackets would eventually take over with 37 seconds remaining in the game, but junior Senquez Golson
