FOOTBALL 2012 “MY FIRST GAME AT WHAT WAS THEN HEMINGWAY STADIUM WAS IN 1960 WHEN OLE MISS PLAYED LSU, AND I HAD NEVER BEEN MORE EXCITED THAN I WAS THAT DAY. OF COURSE, THE STADIUM IS MUCH LARGER AND MORE IMPRESSIVE NOW THAN WHEN I PLAYED. I LOVE THE ON-CAMPUS EXPERIENCE AT OLE MISS, STARTING WITH THE GROVE, THE TEAM TAKING THE SHORT WALK TO THE STADIUM AND THE OVERALL ATMOSPHERE OF GAMEDAY.” - ARCHIE MANNING

REBELS IN THE SPOTLIGHT

“The word F-A-M-I-L-Y is a big part of our program. The ‘F’ stands for faith in one another. We have to care more about the guy sitting next to us if we are going to be successful. ‘A’ stands for attitude. We have to define who we are to ourselves and not pay attention to how others define us. ‘M’ is for mental toughness. We will change the lives of young men and make them mentally tough for all that life has to throw at them. ‘I’ is for integrity. We have to tell each other the truth. The ‘L’ is my favorite. It stands for the love we have to have. We are going to love one another. ‘Y’ is for you. It is for everyone who loves this place.” ad oach He gh C reeze Hu F
REBEL FAMILY “When Patrick left home to attend Ole Miss, we had the comfort of knowing that he would be cared for as part of his new family. That was never more evident than when Patrick lost his brother. His Ole Miss family was there to provide the support he needed at his lowest point. At Ole Miss, family is not just a word. It is real.” - CHRIS AND JULIE FINLEY Patrick Willis’ parents
“We didn’t know a lot about Ole Miss before Jason enrolled, but I can truly say that everything has been a wonderful experience. Everyone from the coaches down have treated us like family and taken care of Jason. I can’t say enough about the people and a great atmosphere at Ole Miss.”
- BRENDA JONES Jason Jones’ mother
15
If I could do it over, I would choose (Ole Miss) again 100 times. - Eli Manning
REBEL PRIDE
Former Ole Miss student-athletes can be found across the country, and even the world, proving successful in many areas of business, education, athletics, medicine, law, and the list goes on. Those who have donned the Red and Blue for the gridiron Rebels include former University of Mississippi Chancellor Dr. Robert C. Khayat; NCIS special agent James Reed; renowned Johns Hopkins professor and physician Alan Partin; former NFL star, national spokesman and football analyst Archie Manning; and many others, some of whom may be lesser known, but no less important in their communities and workplaces.

“My days as an Ole Miss Rebel football player were tremendous. As an NCIS Special Agent, I have traveled and worked with many law enforcement counterparts nationally and internationally. As a student-athlete at Ole Miss, I met many people on and off the field who positively influenced my life. Those relationships helped me mature and grow professionally and prepared me to handle many challenges I now face on a daily basis.”
- JAMES REED NCIS Special Agent
“I will always be indebted to Ole Miss. The University and the Ole Miss family have provided me opportunities and experiences beyond my expectations. It was an honor and pleasure to represent this University - on and off the field. Most importantly, the lessons I learned in preparation, perseverance and execution are the tools that have directly contributed to my successes as an attorney. Thank you, Ole Miss, for allowing me to be a part of something special.”
- JESSE MITCHELL Attorney in Jackson, Miss.
“The friendships I made and the lessons I learned as a member of the Ole Miss football team shaped my life more than any other. Being a member of a team is a privilege that enables a person to establish relationships that last for a lifetime. The lessons learned in competing, winning and losing through football are invaluable. Perhaps the most important lesson is that the play clock continues to run, and the football will be snapped at 30-second intervals. Each player has three choices: (1) to play, (2) to be trampled, or (3) to get off the field. That football rule is also a life rule, and if we are going to make a difference, we must choose to participate.”
- DR. ROBERT C. KHAYAT
Chancellor, University of Mississippi (1995-2009)
“My time at Ole Miss from 1997 through 2000 greatly prepared me for the military career I have now. The family experience and wealth of knowledge gained on and off the football field continue to shape the way I approach missions daily. What I learned and experienced with my brothers at Ole Miss has helped me keep myself and my soldiers alive through the toughest of times.” - MAJOR SHELDON MORRIS U.S. Army, HHT/6-9 CAV Troop Commander
“I believe it was meant for me to be a 49er, but I believe it all started with being at Ole Miss. I was really fortunate to be a Rebel. Like I say all the time, I wouldn’t want to have played at any other place than Ole Miss.” - PATRICK WILLIS 5-time Pro Bowl Linebacker, San Francisco 49ers 2007 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year

CHUCKY MULLINS COURAGE AWARD
Roy Lee “Chucky” Mullins was born on July 8, 1969, in Russellville, Ala. After his mother’s death when he was in the seventh grade, and at his request, Chucky was placed under the guardianship of Carver and Karen Phillips. Chucky graduated from Russellville High School in 1988. He earned All-Conference, All-Area and All-State honors in football as a junior and senior. He was team captain and most valuable player on his high school team. He also earned three letters in football, basketball and baseball. Because of his athletic and leadership abilities, Chucky was awarded a four-year scholarship to Ole Miss, and he arrived on campus in the summer of 1988. He was redshirted in 1988 but later saw action as a “nickel” defensive back for the Rebels and was rapidly emerging as a defensive force in the Southeastern Conference.
18
Tragically, his injury on Oct. 28, 1989, in the Homecoming game against Vanderbilt ended his football career and left him paralyzed. He was treated at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis until February 1990, when he was transferred to Spain Rehabilitation Center in Birmingham. Chucky’s battle with his physical disability and his undefeatable spirit changed the University of Mississippi. For months after the tragic accident, Chucky endured the grueling challenges of rehabilitation. During the difficult time, Chucky’s gritty determination and positive “It is an honor to receive the Chucky Mullins Award and join such a great group of players. I just want to live up to Chucky’s legacy on and off the field.”
2010 Mullins Award Winner Kentrell Lockett
spirit touched the lives of literally hundreds of people. More than a million dollars was raised for the Chucky Mullins Trust Fund. He was visited in the hospital and later at home by such stars as Walter Payton, Janet Jackson and President George Bush. Chucky’s accident and his unbroken spirit transcended football. The people of Mississippi, the South and the entire United States rallied around this remarkable young man. When Chucky returned to Oxford in August 1990 to begin living in the specially-equipped house built by the Trust Fund donations, he announced a determination to return to Ole Miss and pursue a degree. Against all odds, in January of 1991, he did return to the classroom. However, on May 1, 1991, as he prepared for class, he suddenly stopped breathing. Rushed to the hospital, he never regained consciousness and died five days later from complications resulting from a blood clot. While Chucky did not have a long life, it was a particularly special one. His teammates and coaches said Chucky was a teacher. He taught others how to live their lives to the fullest and how to maintain their focus on the truly important aspects of a precious life. In the state of Mississippi, Chucky Mullins will be forever young and
never forgotten. In the spring of 1990, the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity at Ole Miss initiated the Chucky Mullins Courage Award to be given each spring to an outstanding defensive player, who is chosen by the Rebel coaching staff in conjunction with the Chucky Mullins Courage Award Banquet Committee, which is comprised of representatives from the athletics department, university staff, Oxford community and Phi Beta Sigma and Phi Kappa Psi fraternities. Recipients are presented the award at the Chucky Mullins Courage Award banquet, with the proceeds from the banquet going to a special fund created to help Ole Miss students that are involved in serious accidents. Each award recipient receives a framed Mullins jersey and has the honor of wearing Mullins’ No. 38 on the field the following season. In 2006, the number was officially retired, joining Archie Manning’s No. 18 as the only retired numbers in the Rebels’ storied football history. A 38 patch, rather than the jersey number, was worn from 2006 until 2010. The decision was made in March 2011 for the jersey to remain retired and be worn only by the Chucky Mullins Courage Award winner each year.

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

Vaught-Hemingway Stadium’s mega-sized video scoreboard is among the largest true High Definition displays of any college football stadium in the country.
Rebel fans continually pack Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, as Ole Miss averaged more than 55,000 fans per game last season. Ole Miss has topped the 60,000 mark in attendance 15 times in the last 10 years.
FORWARD TOGETHER CAMPAIGN
As demand for seating in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium grows, so too does the need to expand the north endzone. The proposed expansion will bring capacity over 70,000 and will feature additional club seats and suites as well as a north endzone plaza that will offer the perfect place to gather with family and friends to enjoy the sights, sounds and pageantry of Ole Miss Football. Not only will bowling in the north endzone provide more symmetry and continuity throughout, it will also serve to enhance the gameday atmosphere for our coaches, student-athletes and fans. The proposed expansion will create an impressive “Front Door” to the stadium and transform Vaught-Hemingway into a premier college football venue.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE Ole Miss student-athletes not only have the opportunity to play in one of the best conferences in the nation, they also attend a university that is world-renowned for its academics. Under Derek Cowherd, the Senior Associate Athletics Director for Academic Support, the Office of Student-Athlete Academic Support has made great strides in improving the environment for Ole Miss student-athletes. Numerous full-time academic counselors, learning specialists and tutors assist Cowherd, and the $5 million FedEx Academic Support Center, completed in May 2007, provides the perfect environment for learning. Last year, Ole Miss football had more than its share of student-athletes named to the school’s various academic honor rolls, while placing 20 total players on Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Rolls. With Ole Miss athletics taking its place among the best in the nation, the Student-Athlete Academic Support staff hopes that Ole Miss graduates of today have a great impact in the future of tomorrow.

COACHES & STAFF
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. Freeze, a noted speaker and recruiter throughout his career, has enjoyed success at nearly every coaching level over the past 18 years, from high school to NAIA to FBS, and each stop has featured a high-scoring offense and the ability to motivate young people. The most recent stop for the former Ole Miss assistant was a record-setting 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-league 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. Freeze led the ASU offense to other school records such as total plays (856), first downs (262), pass attempts (438), pass completions (266), completion percentage (.607), passing yards (3,057), passing yards per game (254.8) and passing touchdowns (23). The Red Wolves’ potent offensive attack averaged 403.4 yards per game, eclipsing 300 yards all 12 times it took the field for the first time in the history of the program. A-State posted at least 400 yards of total offense in seven games during the 2010 campaign, the most ever as an NCAA FBS member. 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. While the Red Wolves’ 23 passing touchdowns broke the school record, their 23 scores on the ground were the most by an ASU team since 2002. Their 360 total points were the most since 1987 and tied the fourth most in ASU history. Under Freeze, the A-State offense was among the most dangerous in the Sun Belt Conference in 2010. The Red Wolves were ranked among the top two teams in the league in scoring offense, passing offense, total offense, pass efficiency, red zone offense and first downs. In addition to its No. 40 national ranking in total offense and No. 42 spot in scoring offense, ASU ranked among the top 50 teams in the nation in red zone offense at No. 28. 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. Aplin was named the Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Week three times in 2010.

COACHES & STAFF
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 the plays for a Lambuth team that averaged more than 40 points per game and ranked ninth nationally in total yards per game (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 offense and eighth in scoring offense per game. 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.
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. 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. Before going to Ole Miss, Freeze served 13 years at Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis, Tenn., as a classroom teacher, coach and administrator. He was the Saints’ head football coach from 1995 to 2004, running the nohuddle “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.

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.”
MICHAEL OHER BALTIMORE RAVENS (2009-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.”
BRUCE FELDMAN COLUMNIST/COMMENTATOR, CBS 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 went to Southern Miss, coached in Memphis, coached at Ole Miss as an assistant and even being at Arkansas State, which is not that far away. He knows what Ole Miss has to offer. He knows the pulse of that region, and I think that’s important.”

those schools had a losing record the season prior to Allen’s arrival. Last season with the Red Wolves, Allen assisted a 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). Allen coached first-team all-conference selection Demario Davis and second-team pick Nathan Herrold in 2011. Davis was drafted in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft by the New York Jets. Allen came to Arkansas State after spending the 2010 season as the defensive coordinator and linebacker coach at Drake, where he led the Bulldogs to an NCAA FCS No. 36 national ranking in total defense. Under his direction, Drake allowed just 330 yards per game while also ranking No. 6 nationally in rush defense (94.2 ypg), No. 8 in sacks (33), No. 17 in tackles for loss (81), No. 25 in scoring defense (20.4 ppg) and No. 28 in red zone defense. While at Drake, Allen mentored seven All-Pioneer Football League players, one All-America selection and the PFL Defensive Player of the Year. The New Castle, Ind., native had equally impressive results as Lambuth’s assistant head coach, defensive coordinator and linebackers coach in 2008 and 2009 while the program was under the leadership of Hugh Freeze. He was part of two Mid-South Conference championships, and Lambuth’s 2009 squad produced the school’s first undefeated regular season (11-0). Nationally, his 2009 defense ranked No. 4 in scoring defense, No. 7 in pass defense and sacks, No. 9 in total defense and No. 12 in third down conversions. While at Lambuth, Allen mentored eight first team all-conference players, one NAIA All-America selection and a Mid-South Conference Freshman of the Year. Allen made a stop at Wabash (Ind.) College as its secondary coach and special teams coordinator in 2007, helping the team win the NCAC championship and advance to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division III playoffs. He coached three defensive backs that were named to the All-NCAC Team and tutored Wabash’s First Team All-NCAC punter.

Prior to joining the college coaching ranks, Allen served as the head football coach at Ben Davis (Indianapolis) High School from 2004-06 and was also the head coach at Temple Heights (Tampa) High School from 1992-94. In between his time at Temple Heights and his elevation to head coach at Ben Davis, Allen was defensive coordinator and linebacker coach at Armwood (Sefner, Fla.) High School from 1995-96 and held the same positions at Marion (Ind.) High School in 1997 and at Ben Davis from 1998-2003. He led Ben Davis to the 2004 and 2006 IHSAA Sectional 6 championship as head coach and was part of three state championships as the school’s defensive coordinator and linebacker coach. Allen’s only year at Marion saw his defense rank No. 1 in the conference in scoring and run defense, helping the team post an undefeated season and a final ranking of No. 7 in the Indiana state poll. The Armwood defense allowed just 7.3 points per game during Allen’s final year at the school, which qualified for the state playoffs for the first time in school history in 1996 and posted an 8-2 record in 1995. Allen began his coaching career at Temple Heights, where as head coach he led it to the state playoffs for the first time in 18 years in 1994. He was named a 1994 “Coach of the Year” finalist in Hillsborough County, which was home to 22 high schools.

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 school-record 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.

Luke also serves as cooffensive coordinator. 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.

PERSONAL • 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.
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 AllAmerica honors in 2010. In 2009, guard Brian Moore was a Freshman All-ACC selection 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 (200607) 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, Miss., 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.

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.

The group was also responsible for returning interceptions for TDs in three consecutive games for the first time in school history. McGriff tutored senior Casey Hayward to AllAmerica status from several sources, including the Walter Camp Foundation and Rivals.com. He finished the regular season fourth in the SEC in interceptions. In addition, junior Trey Wilson put together his finest year with career highs in interceptions, passes defended and total tackles. McGriff’s season in Nashville was preceded by four at Miami, where he mentored some of the ACC’s top defensive backs. He coached former Hurricane All-American safety and 2009 NFL firstround draft pick Kenny Phillips for two seasons, as well as All-ACC cornerback Brandon Harris and safety Ray-Ray Armstrong. McGriff also helped mold Sam Shields from a wide receiver to a defensive back, who has gone on to play for the Green Bay Packers. McGriff’s 2010 unit helped Miami rank second nationally in pass defense allowing just 164.3 yards per game. The Hurricanes, who posted their third straight winning season and a Sun Bowl appearance, also ranked No. 16 nationally in total defense (317.2 ypg) and No. 21 in scoring defense (19.7 ppg). Strong play in the secondary helped the Hurricane defense rank sixth nationally in quarterback sacks.

Ole Miss’ running backs coach for the past four years, Derrick Nix returns in that post under firstyear head coach Hugh Freeze. In his time in Oxford, Nix has tutored two of the most productive backs in school history, while the Rebels have ranked top three in the SEC in rushing twice. The Nix backfield stable helped Ole Miss register the third-best ground game in the SEC in 2010 (207.58 ypg), while Brandon 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, Dexter 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 All-American 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 allpurpose player. As a recruiter, Nix played a key role in Ole Miss assembling top-20 signing classes in three straight seasons, including a No. 15 ranked group in 2010. With the bulk of his focus on in-state talent, Nix helped ink a 2011 class that included Mississippi’s top five recruits and a record eight of the “Dandy Dozen.” 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 AllConference USA honors and Freshman All-American honors, ran for 1,388 yards and scored 11 touchdowns, the second-most yards in a season in school history. Fletcher set the freshman rushing record at Southern Miss and for Conference USA, and he was also named a finalist for the Conerly Trophy, signifying the top player in the state of Mississippi. In 2005, Nix got career-best years from youthful players Larry Thomas and Cody Hull. Thomas posted three 100-yard rushing performances, while

Hull started the final two games of the year and recorded his first 100-yard rushing outing in the New Orleans Bowl with 161 yards on 37 carries, setting the Bowl record and the Southern Miss alltime bowl record. Hull’s 37 carries tied for the fourth most in school history, matching Nix’s own 37-carry performance against Nevada in 1998. As the Golden Eagles’ tight ends coach in 2004, Nix’s crew, used primarily as blockers in the offensive scheme, was successful. A three-time all-conference selection, Nix was a record-setting running back throughout his Southern Miss playing days and was named to the USM “Team of the Century.” He recently became one of only five players in the history of the football program to become a member of the Southern Miss Legends Club. Nix was the first Golden Eagle ever to rush for 1,000 yards in each of his freshman and sophomore campaigns and the only Southern Miss and C-USA player ever to rush for 1,000 yards or more in three seasons. His career achievements at Southern Miss also included being the C-USA Freshman of the Year and a first team Freshman All-American in 1998. A sprained ankle, along with a kidney problem, forced Nix to sit out a year and a half, before returning for a successful senior season in 2002, which earned him an invitation to the Senior Bowl. After successful kidney transplant surgery in June 2003, Nix began his coaching career as a graduate assistant for the Golden Eagles. The Attalla, Ala., native was born February 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, Ky., who also attended USM and played forward on the women’s basketball team.

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 Torreta 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. As a graduate assistant at Miami during the 1987-88 seasons, Werner worked with UM quarterbacks Steve Walsh, Craig Erickson and Gino Torretta during an era in which the Hurricanes went 23-1 and won the 1987 national championship. In 1989, he was a volunteer assistant coach working with the wide receivers on another Miami national championship team. Werner began his college coaching career in 1986 as an assistant at Cornell University. Prior to going to Cornell, Werner coached five seasons on the high school level. He began his coaching career as a college student, offering his services to local schools around Western Michigan University: Dowagiac Junior High, Portage Central High School and Kalamazoo Christian High School. His first full-time job came in 1983 at Tarpon Springs High School as the junior varsity defensive coordinator. In 1984-85, Werner was the offensive coordinator at Countryside High School in Clearwater, Fla. Between his Ole Miss terms, Werner returned to the high school ranks for three years. Following the passing of his wife Kim in February 2009, Werner chose to keep his two young children, Maya and Ian, close to their Oxford home. Thus, he left the offensive coordinator post at Northwestern State after just one month to accept the head coaching position at North Delta in nearby Batesville. From 2009-11, he led the Green Wave to back-to-back district championships with a 27-7 record, including an 11-1 district mark. Werner graduated from Western Michigan University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in education in 1983. He attended Parkway Central High School.

In 2010, Batoon coached First Team All-Sun Belt Conference safety M.D. Jennings, who recorded 84 tackles, three interceptions, four pass break-ups, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble in 2011. Jennings and Keclie McCray ranked second and third on the team in tackles, respectively, as the duo combined to post 163 tackles last season. Both Jennings and fellow safety Adrian Hills were named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Week once last season, and the safety corps was responsible for OLEMISSSPORTS.COM | OLEMISSFB.COM | 49
COACHES & STAFF seven of ASU’s 11 interceptions. His first season at ASU saw the Red Wolves’ secondary help lead the defense to a No. 1 ranking in total defense and No. 2 ranking in passing defense in the Sun Belt. Batoon came to Arkansas State after spending the previous 11 seasons as the assistant head coach, defensive coordinator and secondary coach at Northern Arizona. He also spent time as the special teams coordinator during his time with the Lumberjacks. Batoon developed the Lumberjacks into one of the top defensive units in the Big Sky Conference while earning NAU a reputation nationally for its defensive play. He tutored 42 student-athletes to all-conference honors 61 times and developed four NFL players during his tenure. His defensive unit ranked among the top two units in the conference and top 20 in the country against the run three times as well. In his final season in Flagstaff, Batoon’s defense led the Football Championship Subdivision in rushing yards allowed at 59.8 yards per game while leading the nation in sacks. NAU’s rushing yards allowed per game and total yards allowed both set Big Sky Conference single-season records. One of Batoon’s top prodigies was NFL product K.J Gerard, who he coached to back-to-back All-America seasons in 2007 and 2008. Gerard set the school record for interceptions with 19, the fifth-best total in Big Sky history, and finished his career ranked tied for first in interceptions among active career leaders in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) and Division I overall with 19. In 2006, linebacker Chris Hunsaker led the nation in tackles for loss, earning All-America third-team honors from three different media outlets. Gerard also led the Big Sky in interceptions and ranked second on the team with 73 tackles in 2005, earning All-Big Sky second team honors. Safety Jeff Singleton was third on the team in tackles with 70, garnering ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District honors. Batoon played a major role in the success of the NAU program over the last 11 seasons highlighted by an NCAA I-AA quarterfinal appearance and Big Sky Conference title in 2003. The Lumberjack defense tied for the national lead in 2003 with Alabama A&M in interceptions with 24 recorded. Twelve different players recorded at least one pick, helping the team rank fifth nationally with 36 turnovers overall. NAU also ranked first in the conference in turnover margin (17th nationally), second against the run (11th nationally) and second in pass efficiency defense. Batoon tutored six student-athletes to All-Big Sky honors in 2002, including first-team pick Keith O’Neil, who played last season with the Indianapolis Colts, and Mike Sands at linebacker. NAU also ranked among the top defensive units in the Big Sky in 2001, highlighted by its effectiveness against the run in allowing just 107.8 rushing yards per game while giving up a conference-low 12 rushing touchdowns. Overall, the Lumberjacks ranked third in total defense, while finishing first in the Big Sky and 15th in the nation against the run. NAU also ranked 11th nationally in fumbles gained (16) and 20th in turnovers (29). In 2000, the Lumberjacks ranked fourth in the conference in total defense and produced All-Big Sky selections Kawika Batoon (DB), Malachi Keddington (DE) and Raymond Perryman (DB), who was a fifth-round pick of the Oakland Raiders in the NFL Draft. In 1999, Batoon’s secondary intercepted 16 passes and deflected 32 balls, ranking as the conference’s No. 2-rated pass efficiency defense squad. In 1998, NAU picked off 10 passes and deflected 37 on the way to the No. 2-rated pass
and overall defense in the conference. He helped develop safety Perryman, just a junior in 1999, and enabled Cleve Dansby to post his best season as the free safety and earn an honorable mention All-Big Sky selection. Batoon came to NAU after a year at Montana working with the defensive line. Prior to that, he was special teams coordinator and secondary coach at Central Missouri State after two years at Saint Mary’s (Calif.) and a three-year stint at Pierce Junior College in Los Angeles.

Born in Honolulu, Batoon and his wife, Stacy, have two daughters, Brandy and Summer.
PAUL JACKSON HEAD FOOTBALL STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COACH
only team in NCAA history to go from double-digit losses one year to double-digit wins the next (1-11 in 2009 to 10-4 in 2010). From 2007-10, Jackson served as an assistant strength coach at LSU, working directly with the Tigers’ football and volleyball teams. During his time in Baton Rouge, Jackson won an SEC and national championship with the football team as well as three consecutive SEC Western Division and one SEC championship with the volleyball team. While working for the Tigers, Jackson worked under and was mentored by strength and conditioning legend Tommy Moffitt. A native of White Plains, N.Y., Jackson got his start in the business as a professional intern strength coach with the NFL’s New York Giants. He also spent time as a performance enhancement specialist at the Parisi Speed School in Garwood, N.J., where the focus is sport-specific speed and agility training as well as combine preparation. Jackson is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. During his college days at Montclair State (N.J.), Jackson lettered in football, spending time at both fullback and linebacker. He earned a B.S. in physical education in 2006 and later received an M.S. in kinesiology from LSU in 2009.
Describing him as “one of the young and up-and-coming stars in strength and conditioning,” Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze named Paul Jackson strength and conditioning coach for his first Rebel staff in January 2012. Jackson came to Oxford after spending 2011 at Southern Miss, where he oversaw the strength and conditioning for the entire USM athletics department with direct responsibility over the football program. His one season in Hattiesburg saw the football team soar to its best record in school history at 12-2, a Conference USA championship and a victory in the Hawaii Bowl. Jackson arrived in Hattiesburg after serving the 2010 season as the Director of Athletic Conditioning for Football at Miami (Ohio). In his lone season at Miami, Jackson helped lead the Redhawks to the 2010 MAC championship and a victory in the 2011 GoDaddy.Com Bowl, while becoming the

SEASON OUTLOOK
FREEZE ERA BEGINS INSPIRATIONAL LEADER RETURNS HOME FOR DREAM JOB Hugh Freeze has been a winner at every level he has coached. Include his inspirational personality and lifelong love for Ole Miss, and it is easy to see why the Mississippi native was the first choice of the search committee to find the Rebels’ new head coach. After directing Arkansas State to its best season in school history in 2011, Freeze is tasked with restoring his homestate’s flagship program to prominence. Since posting consecutive Cotton Bowl victories, Ole Miss has totaled just six wins the past two seasons, forcing the change in leadership. “This is my dream job,” said Freeze, the 2011 Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year. “Ole Miss has won national titles, SEC titles and ranks top 25 all-time in bowl appearances and bowl wins. There is a championship tradition here, and we are going to return it to that level and do it with energy, passion and a positive attitude.” He inherited a team that returns 58 lettermen, including 27 on offense, 26 on defense and five specialists. That group received immediate help in the spring with the addition of four, talented mid-year transfers. The first step for Freeze was to address conditioning. To lead that transformation, he turned to strength coach Paul Jackson, who brought an impressive resume from Southern Miss and LSU, among other stops. “Paul Jackson is a rising star in the strength and conditioning world, and he made an instant impact in the mental and physical toughness of our players,” Freeze said. Conditioning was key as players adjusted to Freeze’s fast tempo of practice in the spring. Overall, he was pleased with what was accomplished over the 15 workouts, which concluded with a spirited overtime scrimmage in the BancorpSouth Grove Bowl on April 24. “I don’t think we got everything installed that we wanted to, but I do think we made the most out of the days we had,” said Freeze. “We chose to stop, stall and try to get better at certain things, and I think we did that. I don’t know if you ever get everything in that you want, but I do think we made the most out of our time.” Tempo is again the key word when referencing Freeze’s offense, which has been fast-paced and highscoring throughout his career. “We will go very fast,” he said. “We need a lot of receivers to catch balls and quarterbacks and running backs to get a lot of touches.”
OFFENSE Ole Miss returned seven starters from an offense that struggled last year. Among the highlights of the unit are receivers Donte Moncrief, a 2011 freshman All-America honoree, and Ja-Mes Logan, who was named the most outstanding offensive player of spring drills. Sophomore Collins Moore has shown flashes, while sophomores Vince Sanders and Tobias Singleton and juniors Terrell Grant, Philander Moore and Korvic Neat have gotten acclimated to Freeze’s wideopen attack.
Leading the receiving corps will be Donte Moncrief, a 2011 Freshman All-America honoree, and Ja-Mes Logan, who was named the most outstanding offensive player of spring drills.

SEASON OUTLOOK New to the slot in the spring was senior Randall Mackey, who was moved from behind center to be ensured more touches. The former JUCO All-American quarterback could also take snaps at his original position as well as running back in the fall. Both starting tight ends returned in seniors Jamal Mosley and Ferbia Allen, who hauled in 12 and six catches last season, respectively. Hard-working senior E.J. Epperson moved from the backfield back to his original position of tight end in the spring for depth. The biggest question mark entering preseason is at quarterback, where junior Barry Brunetti and sophomore transfer Bo Wallace are in a dead heat for the starting job. Brunetti started the Rebels’ first and last games in the fall, while Wallace led East Mississippi Community College to a national championship, shattering NJCAA single-season passing records. In the BancorpSouth Grove Bowl, Brunetti rushed for a game-high 136 yards (14 att.) and passed for 62 yards (4-of-10), while Wallace threw for 240 yards (16-of-26) and two touchdowns. Returning leading rusher Jeff Scott has been an allpurpose weapon his first two seasons and that should only continue in the new offense. The junior running back ran for 529 yards and six TDs and finished eighth in the SEC in all-purpose yards in 2011. Seniors Devin Thomas and H.R. Greer, sophomore Nick Parker and a talented group of incoming freshmen must provide depth in the backfield, as Ole Miss prepares for life after Brandon Bolden. The New England Patriots signee finished his career second in school history in rushing and total touchdowns and third in all-purpose yards. There are also personnel to replace on the offensive line, including a pair of NFL tackles in Bradley Sowell and Bobby Massie, who bypassed his senior season to enter the draft. Massie was a fourth-round selection of Arizona, while Sowell signed with Tampa Bay.
Junior Barry Brunetti, who started two games last year, and sophomore transfer Bo Wallace, who shattered JUCO passing records, enter preseason deadlocked at the quarterback position. Five returning offensive linemen have each started five or more games in their career, including junior starting center Evan Swindall. Senior A.J. Hawkins and sophomore Aaron Morris have settled in at the guards, while a pair of potential first-time starters, junior Emmanuel McCray and mid-year JUCO transfer Pierce Burton, have taken the lead at the tackles. Juniors Patrick Junen and Jared Duke have valuable starting experience, while JUCO transfer Derrick Wilson, sophomore Chase Hughes and redshirt freshman Justin Bell are hungry for snaps on the line.
Among the team’s leaders are a pair of junior defenders and preseason All-SEC picks in linebacker Mike Marry and safety Charles Sawyer. 52 | @OLEMISSNOW | @OLEMISSFB | @COACHHUGHFREEZE
DEFENSE Defensively, Ole Miss ranked 22nd in the nation in stopping the pass a year ago, and that secondary will be relied upon in a Freeze defense that will utilize multiple packages. Headlining the group is junior safety Charles Sawyer, who finished fourth in the SEC in passes defended and seventh in interceptions and is one of six returning starters on defense. A potential strength of the defense could be at cornerback led by a pair of Copiah-Lincoln Community College products. Senior Wesley Pendleton, who started 10 games last year, was selected by the coaches as the most outstanding defensive player of spring drills, while junior Dehendret Collins jumped immediately into action after arriving on campus in January. Also in the mix at corner are sophomores Cliff Coleman and Senquez Golson, who spent his spring with the Rebel baseball team, along with redshirt freshman Abdul Bangura. Senior Tanner Burns and redshirt freshman Chief Brown have emerged as the leading candidates at free safety, while junior Brishen Mathews has taken the lead at the Huskie position. Sophomore Cody Prewitt, who started the final five games of the fall and battled injuries in the spring, senior Ivan Nicholas and junior Frank Crawford will also compete for snaps in the secondary. At the Stinger position, senior Aaron Garbutt, who started nine games in his first season in the Red and Blue, and redshirt freshman Denzel Nkemdiche impressed in the spring. Injuries cost sophomore Keith Lewis the entire spring, but he could also be in the picture as the season nears. At Mike linebacker, 2011 All-SEC honoree and leading tackler Mike Marry supplied leadership this offseason, particularly with junior D.T. Shackelford missing spring drills following a second surgery on his left knee in January. Shackelford is hopeful for a healthy return

SEASON OUTLOOK in August. Senior Joel Kight, who boasts 114 career tackles and 15 starts the last two years, and sophomores Ralph Williams and Serderius Bryant provide strong experience in the linebacking corps. On the defensive line, the coaches are looking to revive the “Landshark” attack and have seen potential in sophomore Bryon Bennett, a returning starter at tackle. Senior Uriah Grant, who started seven games as a junior college transfer last year, was limited in the spring with injuries but is expected to be a factor in the interior along with redshirt freshman Woodrow Hamilton, senior Gilbert Pena and sophomore Carlton Martin. At defensive end, sophomore C.J. Johnson continues his development after moving from linebacker in the fall. Junior Cameron Whigham and seniors Gerald Rivers and Jason Jones, who received the 2012 Chucky Mullins Courage Award, are all candidates on the edge. One of the most heralded signees of the 2012 signing class, prep All-American Channing Ward brings a wealth of talent to the end position and headlines some athletic incoming linemen.
SPECIAL TEAMS Special teams remains a strength of the Rebels, led by 2010 NCAA punting champion and two-time All-SEC senior Tyler Campbell. In addition, senior kicker Bryson Rose has made 25-of-29 career field goals and 65-of-67 PATs, while senior Andrew Ritter is one of the SEC’s best at kickoffs, helping the team rank second in kickoff coverage last season. There is also experience at long snapper with Will Denny, who started all 12 games as a freshman a year ago. In the return game, Scott has established himself as a weapon during his career, ranking 20th in the country in kickoff returns in 2010 and helping Ole Miss finish third as a team nationally in punt returns in 2011. Singleton futher strengthens the return game after finishing sixth in the SEC in kickoffs last year.
SCHEDULE Freeze’s first season will certainly be a challenging one, as Ole Miss faces what is considered by many media as the toughest schedule in the Southeastern Conference. The Rebels battle nine teams that earned bowl bids last year, including road games at the two national championship game participants in LSU and Alabama. The conference slate also includes trips to Arkansas and Georgia and home games against Texas A&M, Auburn, Vanderbilt and Mississippi State. The non-conference schedule is highlighted by an Oxford meeting with Texas, marking the first matchup with the Longhorns since 1966. It will wrap up a threegame, season-opening homestand. The second of those three games is UTEP, meaning Vaught-Hemingway Stadium will play host to three teams from the Lone Star state. Rounding out the non-league games is the season opener against Central Arkansas and a tradition-rich trip to New Orleans for Tulane in game four.
Special teams will remain the strength of the Rebels with seniors Tyler Campbell and Bryson Rose.

BYU 14, OLE MISS 13
OLE MISS 42, SOUTHERN ILLINOIS 24
Game #1 • Sept. 3, 2011 Attendance: 55,124 • Vaught-Hemingway Stadium • Oxford, Miss.
Game #2 • Sept. 10, 2011 Attendance: 58,504 • Vaught-Hemingway Stadium • Oxford, Miss.
OXFORD, Miss. - Defensive back Charles Sawyer returned an interception 96 yards for a touchdown, but BYU rallied to defeat Ole Miss 14-13 in front of 55,127 at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in the season opener for both teams. Ole Miss led 3-0 at halftime and stretched it to 10-0 with 8:34 left in the third quarter on a 96-yard interception return for a touchdown by Sawyer. BYU trailed 13-0 early in the fourth quarter, but Jake Heaps hit Ross Apo for a 19-yard touchdown with 9:52 remaining to pull within 13-7. Less than Charles Sawyer five minutes later, BYU’s defensive pressure forced Ole Miss quarterback Zack Stoudt to fumble, and Van Noy jumped on the football to cap a stunning comeback. BYU won its first game as an independent after leaving the Mountain West Conference last year. Heaps completed 24 of 38 passes for 225 yards, one touchdown and one interception. The Cougars outgained the Rebels 318-208. The first half was full of punts, defense and missed opportunities. BYU gained just 102 yards while Ole Miss managed just 93. Bryson Rose kicked a 20-yard field goal with 49 seconds left in the first half to give the Rebels a 3-0 halftime lead. Ole Miss sophomore Barry Brunetti started at quarterback before giving way to Zack Stoudt late in the second quarter. Stoudt’s presence immediately energized the Rebels. The junior completed two passes for a combined 21 yards on his first drive, which ended in Rose’s field goal just before the half. Stoudt finished 13 of 25 passing for 140 yards. But the Rebels really didn’t get going until Sawyer’s interception, which stretched the lead to 10-0 and was the program’s longest interception return for a touchdown since 2007. Another Rose field goal stretched the Rebels’ lead to 13-0 early in the fourth quarter. But the Cougars kept pounding away, with a 69-57 advantage in offensive plays. By the fourth quarter, the Rebels’ defense looked gassed, and didn’t have an answer for the BYU offense. The biggest play was Stoudt’s fumble. Three BYU defenders converged on Stoudt, slamming him to the turf as the ball popped loose. Van Noy took advantage of the opportunity, pouncing on the bouncing ball to lead the Cougars to the victory.
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Jeff Scott waited more than a season for a chance to be Ole Miss’ featured running back. Four touchdowns later, the sophomore certainly made the most of his opportunity. The 5-foot-7, 175-pound Scott rushed for three touchdowns and added another on a punt return, turning in a spectacular performance as Ole Miss downed Southern Illinois 42-24. Scott scored three touchdowns in the first six minutes of the game with the third coming on a 67-yard punt return that ended with him tip-toeing down Jeff Scott the right sideline and just inside the bright orange pylon. It gave Ole Miss a 21-0 lead and the rout appeared to be well underway. But the rest of the game wasn’t as easy. Ole Miss (1-1) had a 35-10 lead early in the third quarter before Southern Illinois responded with two touchdown drives in the second half to pull within 35-24. Steve Strother rushed for 116 yards for Southern Illinois (1-1), but the Salukis couldn’t overcome four interceptions thrown by Paul McIntosh. Ole Miss was playing without its top two running backs - seniors Brandon Bolden and Enrique Davis - after the pair suffered injuries in last week’s season opener against BYU. But Scott was stellar in their place, rushing for touchdowns of 37 and 4 yards in the opening minutes before the punt return for a touchdown pushed the Rebels’ lead to 21-0 with 9:09 remaining in the first half. Scott’s fourth touchdown of the night stretched the Rebels’ lead to 35-10 with 10:23 left in the third quarter, but SIU responded with two touchdowns to pull within 35-24 with 6:39 remaining in the fourth quarter. Zack Stoudt was decent in his first start as the Ole Miss quarterback, completing 11 of 18 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown. Randall Mackey also saw his first action behind center, completing his only pass attempt for 18 yards and rushing for 36 yards on six carries.

Game #3 • Sept. 17, 2011 Attendance: 34,579 • Vanderbilt Stadium • Nashville, Tenn.
Game #4 • Sept. 24, 2011 Attendance: 58,042 • Vaught-Hemingway Stadium • Oxford, Miss.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Vanderbilt scored 21 straight in the second quarter, as Ole Miss dropped its Southeastern Conference opener to the Commodores 30-7 at Vanderbilt Stadium. The win marks Vanderbilt’s first 3-0 start since 2008 when the Commodores won their first bowl since 1955. The Commodores also beat Ole Miss (1-2) in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams for their fifth win in seven years in this series. The Commodores outgained Ole Miss 387-234 in total offense. Running Donte Moncrief back Zac Stacy rushed for 169 yards, including a 77-yard TD run. Vanderbilt picked off five passes, all off Zack Stoudt, and Trey Wilson’s interception return for a TD is the Commodores’ third this season. Stoudt came through with a 47-yard TD pass to Donte Moncrief with 2:15 left to avoid being shut out by Vandy for the first time since 1946. The Commodores got going late in the second and took control. Stacy picked up 26 yards after Smith handed the ball off to the running back using his left, non-throwing hand, almost directly behind him in a bit of nice misdirection. Smith finished off the drive on an option keeper for 19 yards and a 7-0 lead with 5:40 left in the second quarter. With Ole Miss facing third-and-15, defensive end Walker May hurried Stoudt into a throw that went straight to Wilson, and the Vanderbilt cornerback ran it back up the left sideline for a 14-0 lead with 4:39 remaining. It was Wilson’s second TD off an interception this season and the third overall for Vanderbilt - the first time the Commodores have had three of those in a season. After another Ole Miss three-and-out, Seymour pushed his way in to finish off a 9-yard TD and a 21-0 lead that had Commodores’ fans celebrating a rare early lead.
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Ole Miss could not overcome a big Georgia first half in a 27-13 setback at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The Bulldogs jumped out to a 17-0 lead by midway through the second quarter and took a 24-13 lead into halftime. Bulldogs’ kicker Blair Walsh missed three field goals in the second half, but the Ole Miss offense could never capitalize. Freshman Isaiah Crowell had several big gains on the ground, and Andy Murray’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Orson Charles gave the Bulldogs a 17-0 Nickolas Brassell lead with 6:01 in the second quarter. But the Rebels responded with a flurry. After a reverse handoff, Randall Mackey hit a wide-open Donte Moncrief for a 38-yard touchdown to pull within 17-7. Then Ole Miss immediately recovered an onside kick and the Vaught-Hemingway Stadium crowd of 58,042 had something to cheer about. The momentum was short lived. Mackey threw an interception three plays later. Both of the Rebels’ touchdowns came after a reverse. Mackey threw a 38-yard TD pass to Moncrief after taking a handoff from running back Jeff Scott. Nickolas Brassell scored on an 81-yard punt return after Scott caught the punt, ran across the field and handed off to Brassell. Scott appeared to give the Rebels a second punt return for a score in the game’s final minute, but the 67-yard TD return was called back on a blocking penalty. The Rebels rotated Zack Stoudt and Mackey throughout the game. Stoudt completed just 7 of 23 passes for 71 yards and an interception. Mackey completed 3 of 7 passes for 78 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Murray completed 17 of 26 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns. Crowell rushed for 147 yards on 30 carries, helping the Bulldogs (2-2, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) grind to the road victory. Malcolm Mitchell caught three passes for 93 yards as the Bulldogs gained 475 total yards.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - Running back Jeff Scott rushed for a career-high 138 yards and scored two touchdowns, and senior running back Brandon Bolden added two touchdowns to lead the Ole Miss Rebels (2-3) to a 38-28 win against Fresno State at Jim Sweeney Field. The Rebels capped their first trip ever to California by earning their first win of the season against an FBS-level team. Ole Miss led Fresno State 20-14 at the half behind Bolden’s two TD runs. The Baton Rouge, La., native now ranks second in Ole Miss history with 25 Jeff Scott rushing TDs and 30 total touchdowns. He also moved into sixth place in school history with 3,206 all-purpose yards. In two career games versus Fresno State, Bolden has 271 yards rushing and five TDs. Scott tore off a 69-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, which was the longest TD run by a Rebel since Scott’s 83-yard score against Auburn last season. Scott posted his third career 100-yard rushing game and his second of the season. He also caught one pass for 24 yards and added 44 yards on kickoff returns. The 206 all-purpose yards mark the second 200-yard allpurpose game of his season and the third of his career. The Bulldogs scored twice in the third quarter and led 28-27 heading into the final frame, but it was all Rebels in the final 15 minutes. Scott scored his second touchdown - a 12-yard run - with 8:49 remaining for the go ahead score and the Rebels added the two-point conversion for a 35-28 lead. Junior Bryson Rose connected on a 24-yard field goal attempt with 3:24 left in the fourth quarter and has now made 13 consecutive field goal attempts dating back to last season. In his first career start, junior quarterback Randall Mackey threw for 214 yards and one touchdown on 8-of-18 passing. He He also rushed five times for 35 yards.
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Freshman Nickolas Brassell posted his first career 100-yard receiving game as Ole Miss fell to No. 2 Alabama 52-7 in front of a crowd 61,792 in Vaught-Hemingway Staduim, which marked the fourthlargest crowd in Ole Miss history. Alabama running back Trent Richardson ran for a career-best 183 yards and set another a career best with four touchdowns. Richardson put the Rebels (2-4, 0-3 SEC) away with an electric 76-yard run midway through the third quarter. Nickolas Brassell Randall Mackey’s 59-yard pass completion to the 2 on the game’s fourth play helped the Rebels take a 7-0 lead on their opening drive. But after giving up 72 yards on that drive’s five plays, the Crimson Tide held Ole Miss without a yard for the rest of the half, a total of 18 plays, on the way to a 17-7 lead. Alabama turned up the offensive intensity in the second half, scoring on five of six offensive possessions. The sixth ended deep in Ole Miss territory as time expired. Richardson and Fowler, who finished with 125 yards rushing, helped the Tide rush for 389 yards (9.3 yards per carry) and Alabama finished with 615 total. The Rebels didn’t find much room in the second half either, and finished with 113 total yards and just 28 rushing. The Crimson Tide forced two turnovers, sacked Mackey five times and stopped the Rebels’ only real second-half threat with a goal-line stand. The Rebels, already without four players due to suspension, lost two key defenders to injuries as well. Cornerback Marcus Temple fractured his right ankle in the first half and defensive end Wayne Dorsey was lost in the second half to an unspecified injury.

Game #7 • Oct. 19, 2011 Attendance: 61,723 • Vaught-Hemingway Stadium • Oxford, Miss.
Game #8 • Oct. 26, 2011 Attendance: 85,347 • Jordan-Hare Stadium • Auburn, Ala.
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Junior Randall Mackey threw two touchdowns and rushed for another, but Ole Miss could not hold on to an early 17-0 lead as the Rebels fell to No. 9 Arkansas 29-24. Tyler Wilson threw for 232 yards and rushed for two touchdowns. Dennis Johnson rushed for 160 yards on 15 carries, including a 52-yard touchdown. Joe Adams caught four passes for 124 yards. Ole Miss took a 17-0 lead with 6:20 remaining in the second quarter after Mackey’s 3-yard touchdown run, but the Razorbacks responded with 29 Randall Mackey unanswered points to take the lead. The Razorbacks’ league-leading passing offense was never at its best, but Wilson was effective when it mattered. He completed 13 of 28 passes and didn’t throw an interception. Ole Miss took a 3-0 lead on Bryson Rose’s 43-yard field goal late in the first quarter and then stretched it to 10-0 on Mackey’s 31-yard touchdown pass to Donte Moncrief on the first play of the second quarter. The Rebels stretched their lead on Mackey’s 3-yard touchdown run to go up 17-0 before the Razorbacks finally showed some life with Johnson’s 52-yard touchdown run that pulled the halftime score to 17-7. Arkansas kept the momentum in the second half. The Razorbacks scored on two field goals by Zach Hocker, Wilson’s two short TDs and a safety by linebacker Jerry Franklin to go up 29-17 early in the fourth quarter. The Ole Miss offense, which was so impressive in the first half, struggled after halftime until a late surge. Mackey found Moncrief in the corner of the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown - his second of the game - and the Rebels pulled within 29-24. The onside kick was recovered by Ole Miss tight end Jamal Mosley with 1:21 remaining and the Rebels briefly had life. But Eric Bennett intercepted an Mackey pass on the second play of the drive and the Razorbacks were able to run out the clock.
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - Senior running back Brandon Bolden rushed for a season-high 114 yards on 13 carries and two touchdowns, but Ole Miss fell to No. 23 Auburn 41-23 at Jordan-Hare Stadium. After falling behind 14-0 early, the Rebels responded rushing for a seasonhigh 172 yards in the first half, led by Bolden, who recorded his first 100-yard rushing performance of the year and eighth of his career. The Rebels put together a nice drive late in the first quarter that resulted in a 1-yard TD run by Bolden to make it 14-7 Auburn. Brandon Bolden Junior Bryson Rose connected on a 39-yard field goal attempt in the second quarter as the Rebels pulled to within 14-10. Rose has now made 15 consecutive field goal attempts dating back to last season and is now three field goals shy of the SEC record for consecutive field goals made. After Auburn added a field goal to go up 17-10, the Rebels used a 9-play 60-yard drive culminating in another Bolden 1-yard TD run to even the score heading into the break. The Tigers (6-3, 4-2 SEC) scored a pair of touchdowns in the third quarter to break the halftime deadlock and go up 31-17. Rebel quarterback Randall Mackey finished the night 15-of-27 for 157 yards and a TD pass to freshman wide receiver Nickolas Brassell. He has now thrown a touchdown pass in three straight games. Bolden moved into fourth all-time on the Ole Miss rushing list with 2,419 yards, passing Dou Innocent. He totaled 122 all-purpose yards to pass Mike Wallace for third on the Ole Miss career list with 3,405 all-purpose yards. Bolden’s two rushing TDs gave him 27 career rushing scores and 32 total TDs, both of which rank second in Ole Miss history.

KENTUCKY 30, OLE MISS 13
LOUISIANA TECH 27, OLE MISS 7
Game #9 • Nov. 5, 2011 Attendance: 56,882 • Commonwealth Stadium • Lexington, Ky.
Game #10 • Nov. 12, 2011 Attendance: 44,123 • Vaught-Hemingway Stadium • Oxford, Miss.
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Freshman Nickolas Brassell totaled 96 all-purpose yards and a touchdown, but Ole Miss fell to Kentucky 30-13 here Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium. Ole Miss used two field goals (31, 37) by junior Bryson Rose to take a 6-0 lead after the first quarter. Rose has now made 17 consecutive field goal attempts dating back to last season, which is one shy of the SEC record and the nation’s longest active streak. With both teams looking for their first SEC win, Kentucky used a 9-play Bryson Rose drive--resulting in a 2-yard TD run by CoShik Williams at the beginning of the second quarter--to get on the board. The Rebels had the ball at the Kentucky 49 with 2:07 remaining in the half, but two plays later, quarterback Randall Mackey was intercepted by Wildcat linebacker Danny Trevathan, setting up a 48-yard field goal by Greg McIntosh to give the Wildcats the 10-6 lead heading into the lockerroom. Kentucky got the ball to start the second half, but the Rebel defense forced a three and out. Ole Miss, who had been outscored in the third quarter coming into the game, went 72 yards in 12 plays capped by a 21-yard pass from Mackey to Brassell to regain the lead 13-10 with 7:15 to go in the third quarter. It marked Brassell’s second career touchdown and second TD in as many games. Unfortunately, that would be it for the Rebels. Kentucky scored early in the fourth quarter on an eight-play 80-yard drive that resulted in a 38-yard touchdown pass from freshman quarterback Maxwell Smith to La’Rod King. The missed extra point made it 16-13 Wildcats. The Wildcats added two late touchdowns for the final 30-13 score. The Rebels started six true freshmen in the game, including Brassell, who got his first start on defense and Serderius Bryant, who finished with a career-high 10 tackles, including three solo. In addition to his 96 yards and one TD on offense, Brassell totaled three tackles, a pass break-up and a half a QB sack. Another freshman to start on defense, safety Cody Prewitt registered a career-best nine tackles and four solo stops. Freshman Donte Moncrief hauled in four passes for 68 yards including a 19-yarder in the Rebels third quarter touchdown drive. He is now seven receptions and 59 yards shy of Mike Espy’s Ole Miss freshmen records for catches and receiving yards.
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Senior Brandon Bolden scored his 33rd career touchdown and topped 100 all-purpose yards, but Ole Miss fell 27-7 to Louisiana Tech on homecoming in Oxford. Chad Boyd and Javontay Crowe scored defensive touchdowns, and Matt Nelson added a pair of field goals for Louisiana Tech. Boyd scooped up a mishandled backfield exchange and raced 33 yards for a third quarter touchdown while Crowe’s 26-yard interception return in the fourth helped the Bulldogs erase a 7-0 deficit. Nelson added field goals of Brandon Bolden 43 and 35 yards. The win was the fifth straight for Louisiana Tech (6-4), who defeated a Southeastern Conference team for the first time since beating Mississippi State 22-14 in 2008. The Rebels (2-8), following Monday’s announcement that fourth-year head coach Houston Nutt would not return next season, lost its fifth consecutive game. Louisiana Tech led 10-7 at halftime, tying the game on a 21-yard touchdown pass from Colby Cameron to Taulib Ikharo and a 43-yard field goal by Nelson on the first half’s final play. After taking a 7-0 lead, the Ole Miss offense sputtered, finishing with 307 total yards. Ole Miss scored on its second series, capping a 78-yard drive with a 34-yard touchdown catch by Bolden from Randall Mackey. Bolden finished the game with 112 all-purpose yards, gaining 46 rushing yards and 66 receiving yards. Louisiana Tech regained control by halftime and used opportunistic plays from its defense in the second half to seal it. Boyd scored with 3:49 left in the third period and three series later, Crowe finished the scoring with 11:08 remaining. Hunter Lee rushed for 127 yards on 24 carries as the Bulldogs rolled up 350 total yards. Cameron finished 13 of 27 for 180 yards while Quinton Patton and Ikaharo finished with three receptions apiece. Adrien Cole led the Louisiana Tech defense with 10 tackles, including two for loss. Ole Miss kicker Bryson Rose, who had hit 17 consecutive field goals over a two-year period, missed from 36 and 52 yards. Rose was within one kick of tying the SEC record set by Tennessee’s Fuad Reveiz in 1982.

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Quarterback Barry Brunetti rushed for 74 yards on 15 carries, but Ole Miss fell to No. 1 LSU 52-3 on senior night at VaughtHemingway Stadium. Ron Brooks returned an interception for a touchdown 28 seconds into the game, LSU built a 35-3 lead by halftime and rushed for 353 yards. Quarterback Jordan Jefferson started his second consecutive game, completing 7 of 7 passes for 88 yards and a touchdown. Alfred Blue led the Tigers with 74 rushing yards while Spencer Ware added 70 yards and a Barry Brunetti touchdown. Ole Miss (2-9, 0-7) has lost six straight games and a school-record 13 straight conference games. Barry Brunetti rushed for a team-high 74 yards as the Rebels managed just 195 total yards. LSU completed all eight of its pass attempts - seven by Jefferson and one by Jarrett Lee - but was content to run the ball for most of the game after building a 21-0 lead with 5:11 remaining in the first quarter. Kenny Hilliard rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown and Terrence Magee added 55 yards as LSU emptied its bench early and recovered from a lackluster effort in last week’s 42-9 win against Western Kentucky. Seven different players rushed for at least 25 yards and the Tigers averaged nearly eight yards per play. Ole Miss started with the ball, and its first three plays were a disaster. Starting quarterback Zack Stoudt bounced an incompletion on the first play, Brandon Bolden dropped the next pass and then Stoudt threw a wild lob on a screen pass that was picked off by Brooks and returned 46 yards for a touchdown. The Rebels’ lone score came on a 39-yard field goal by Bryson Rose, which was set up by Brunetti’s 47-yard run.
STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) -- In a rain-soaked Egg Bowl, Ole Miss dropped its final game of the 2011 season 31-3 to Mississippi State at Davis-Wade Stadium. Ole Miss (2-10, 0-8) finished a season with 10 losses for the first time in program history and ends coach Houston Nutt’s four-year tenure. Nutt’s resignation was announced on Nov. 7, but he remained to coach the last three games. Barry Brunetti earned his second career start and finished 12-of-22 for 112 yards, including a 61-yard pass to Jamal Mosley, but Ole Miss never could Ralph Williams get moving on offense. Its only sustained drive lasted 12 plays and 47 yards before Bryson Rose kicked a 28-yard field goal in the third quarter.Enrique Davis rushed for 32 yards on 12 carries while Donte Moncrief caught four passes for 20 yards. Moncrief finished the season with 31 catches, which broke Mike Espy’s Ole Miss freshman record of 30 receptions set in 2002. He also finished with 454 yards receiving which was 11 yards shy of Espy’s freshman record of 465 yards. Ole Miss started nine freshmen in the game including freshman safety Cody Prewitt, who posted five tackles (two solo) and picked off his first career pass in the second quarter. Freshman linebacker Ralph Williams tallied a career-high 11 tackles and 2.0 TFLs in the start and freshman defensive end C.J. Johnson posted a career-high with 10 tackles (two solo) and 1.0 TFL. Mississippi State (6-6, 2-6) picked up its sixth win of the year to become bowl eligible. It also marked the first time in 70 years for the Bulldogs to win three straight in the series. Mississippi State senior quarterback Chris Relf rushed for 12 yards on the first play and then 17 more on the second as the Bulldogs methodically moved downfield to start the game. The 11-play, 68-yard drive ended on an 18-yard touchdown pass from Relf to running back Vick Ballard that gave the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead with 5:35 remaining in the first quarter. State stretched its lead to 21-0 by halftime on a 36-yard run by LaDarius Perkins and then a 20-yard pass from Relf to Perkins. In the second half, MSU took advantage of an Ole Miss fumble on the first drive and converted the miscue into a 28-0 lead on a 25-yard run by Ballard.

SEC HISTORY
The Southeastern Conference begins its 80th season of play in 2012. The league began play in 1933 with 13 schools Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Sewanee, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. Alabama won the league’s first conference title in 1933 by virtue of its 5-0-1 conference record. Sewanee left the conference following the 1940 season while Georgia Tech left after the 1963 season and Tulane followed after the 1965 campaign. Arkansas and South Carolina entered the SEC prior to the 1992 season and Missouri and Texas A&M joined in 2012. The SEC was the first conference to split into two divisions and have its regular season culminate in a conference championship game. The first SEC Championship Game was held on Dec. 5, 1992 at Legion Field in Birmingham, Ala. The Southeastern Conference sponsors championships in 21 sports - 12 women’s sports and nine men’s sports. They include baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, equestrian, football, men’s and women’s golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field and volleyball. The SEC’s mission statement reflects the priorities of the league. “The purpose of the Southeastern Conference is to assist its member institutions in the maintenance of programs of intercollegiate athletics which are compatible with the highest standards of education and competitive sports.”

2011 SEC NOTES
• The SEC has won six consecutive national championships, eight BCS National Championships and 22 overall national titles (AP, BCS, FWAA, coaches poll). • Four different SEC schools have won the BCS National Championship since 2006 (Auburn, 2010; Alabama, 2009 and 2011; Florida, 2006 and 2008; LSU, 2007). Tennessee (1998) and LSU (2004) have also won the BCS crown. The Big 12 (Texas and Oklahoma) and the ACC (Miami and Florida State) have each had two schools win titles since 1998. • Since 2006, more than half of the slots in the BCS National Championship Game have been taken by SEC teams (7 of 12). The Big Ten and the Big 12 have two each and the Pac-10 has one. • No other conference has won a BCS National Championship Game since Texas defeated Southern California, 41-38, in the Rose Bowl following the 2005 regular season. The SEC has won the last six. • An SEC team has led or tied for the lead at the end of 20 of the last 24 quarters of BCS National Championship Game play. • Since 2006, an SEC team has been ranked first in the weekly BCS standings in 26 of the 48 weeks, with four different teams holding the top spot. Florida was first for seven weeks, Alabama for six weeks, Auburn for three and LSU for 10 weeks, including all eight polls of this season. The Big Ten has held the top spot for 13 weeks (all Ohio State), the Big 12 for five weeks (Texas and Oklahoma twice, Missouri once) and the Pac-10 four weeks (all Oregon). • The SEC has had more teams ranked in the BCS standings for the most times than any other conference since 2006. The league has had 11 of its 12 teams ranked at one time or another since 2006 for a total of 238 times. The SEC breakdown: LSU (45), Alabama (35), Florida (33), Auburn (29), Georgia (23), Arkansas (23), South Carolina (21), Tennessee (14), Mississippi State (8), Kentucky (4) and Ole Miss (3). • Since 2006, the SEC has accrued more bowl wins (36) and appearances (55) than any other conference. The conference’s .655 bowl winning percentage is third behind the Big East (2310, .697) and Mountain West (20-9, .690) during that time. • In the 2011-12 bowl season, the SEC and the Big 12 tied for the most wins (6) and had the fourth highest win percentage (6-3, .667), second-highest among conferences that had six-ormore teams in bowl games. • Since 2006, the SEC has posted the highest non-conference winning percentage (regular season & bowls) than any other conference. The league has a 279-63 record, an 81.6 winning percentage. The SEC has won no less than 43 nonconference games (regular season & bowls) during the last six seasons (2006-2011). • Since 2006, the SEC has had the most teams ranked in the final USA Today Coaches Poll. The conference has had 29 teams ranked in the final USA Today rankings, four more than the Big 12 (25) and five more than the Big Ten (24). • In the 29 individual awards given in 2011, the SEC has had at least one recipient in 23 of them since 2006. The SEC has not had a winner of the Biletnikoff Award (wide receiver), Lou Groza (placekicker), Brian Burlsworth (walk-on), Johnny Unitas (senior quarterback), Ted Hendricks (defensive end) and ARA Sportsmanship Award in the last six seasons. • Since 2006, the SEC football student-athletes and coaches have won 51 major individual awards, an average of more than eight per year. The league won an all time high 12 individual honors in 2010 and won eight this season. • 16 SEC football student-athletes have won 18 national academic and community service awards since 2006. The SEC has had the last three CoSIDA/ESPN Academic All-Americas of the Year in football, a recipient of the William V.

HISTORY & HISTORY & RECORDS RECORDS
HISTORY OF OLE MISS FOOTBALL The University of Mississippi boasts a long and colorful football history, which includes the formation of the first football team in the state, as well as one of the most successful programs in the history of collegiate football. In its 119-year history, the Ole Miss football program has claimed three national championships (1959, 1960 and 1962), six Southeastern Conference titles (1947, 1954, 1955, 1960, 1962, and 1963), and one SEC Western Division title (2003). In addition, Ole Miss has produced 54 first-team All-America selections and more than 150 First Team All-SEC selections, appeared in 33 bowl games with 21 wins, and sent almost 300 players into the professional ranks.
REBEL FOOTBALL BEGINNINGS The beginnings of the program can be traced all the way back to 1890 when Dr. A.L. Bondurant, who would later serve as Dean of the Graduate School, urged Ole Miss students to help in the formation of an Athletic Association in the interests of football, baseball and tennis. Such a group became a reality a short while later, and in 1893, a football team was organized, with Bondurant serving as the manager-coach. That first squad set a precedent that was to become an Ole Miss tradition, winning four of five games during that maiden season, including a 56-0 victory over Southwest Baptist University of Jackson, Tenn., in the inaugural game on Nov. 11, 1893. Early financial matters were the responsibility of the manager. Support came largely from the Athletic Association, which was made up of a combination of students and faculty members willing to back the athletes by payment of a small fee. Although it has never been documented, it is thought that C.D. Clark of Tufts was the first paid football coach at Ole Miss. His name appears as manager of the team, as shown in the Ole Miss Magazine, dated November 1894.
THE PRE-WWII YEARS Prior to 1925, a total of 22 coaches took their turn as head coach at Ole Miss with only seven heading up the program for more than one season. Those early years were characterized by periods of both prosperity and difficulty: 1883-95, 12-3; 1896-1908, 24-36-1; 1909-14, 33-17-4; and 1915-24, 30-48. Since the formation of the Athletics Committee in 1925, the Rebels have had just 14 head coaches, with three of those also handling the dual responsibility of athletic director. The establishment of the committee on a faculty-alumni basis (a student representative has since been added) seemed to re-establish alumni support for the football program and a bright future lay ahead. Homer Hazel of Rutgers served as the head coach from 1925-29, winning 21 games, losing 22 and tying three before being succeeded by Ed Walker, a Stanford graduate, in 1930. While Walker’s record was a modest 38-38-8 over his eight-year stay, he firmly established the direction of the football program. He took Ole Miss to its first bowl game in 1935, with the Rebels falling to Catholic University, 20-19 in the Orange Bowl. He also coached the Rebels’ first All-America first-teamer, Bruiser
First Ole Miss All-American Bruiser Kinard (Left)
Kinard, in 1936. Kinard, who also earned All-America first-team honors in 1937, would be the first of 44 Rebels to earn the prestigious national accolade. Under Walker’s tenure, Ole Miss took another step to help cement a solid future for Rebel football and other athletic teams when it became a charter member of the SEC in 1933. The Rebels have competed in the league ever since. Prior to joining the SEC, Ole Miss had competed in the Southern Conference from 1922-32. Harry Mehre, from Notre Dame, became the head coach in 1938 and put together a pre-war record of 3926-1, which included several notable victories. Mehre led Ole Miss to its first ever victory over Vanderbilt in 1939, its first win in 11 years over LSU in 1938, and its first win over Tulane in 25 seasons in 1941. The post-war period would prove to be the Rebels’ most glorious era as C.M. “Tad” Smith, a member of the Ole Miss athletic family since 1929, succeeded Mehre as director of athletics. Smith would serve as athletic director for 25 years before retiring on Feb. 1, 1971. Harold (Red) Drew of Bates was brought in as head coach in 1946 and Ole Miss football stood on the verge of becoming one of the most powerful and respected programs in the country. A long-time assistant coach at Alabama, Drew remained at Ole Miss just one season before returning to Tuscaloosa as head coach, but his brief stay would prove to change the course of Rebel football.
VAUGHT PLACES OLE MISS ON NATIONAL FOOTBALL MAP John Vaught, a line coach under Drew and a former All-American at TCU, remained in Oxford as head coach in 1947 and led the Ole Miss program to national prominence over the next 24 years. In his first season at the helm in 1947, the Rebels posted a 9-2 record and won the first of six SEC crowns (1947, 1954, 1955, 1960, 1962, 1963). That 1947 season also saw Ole Miss great Charlie Conerly become the first Rebel player to be a contender for the Heisman Trophy, placing fourth in the voting for the prestigious honor. Vaught’s first year proved to be a sign of good

things to come for Ole Miss. During his 24-year tenure, the Rebels would have only one losing campaign. Vaught’s squads, however, didn’t stop at just winning league titles. The Rebels also claimed three national championships in 1959, 1960 and 1962. Ole Miss won the 1959 Dunkel System national crown, the

HISTORY & RECORDS 1960 Football Writers Association of America, Dunkel System, Williamson System national championships, and the 1962 Litkenhous Ratings national title. Vaught’s 1959 squad, which was honored as the “SEC Team of the Decade,” was ranked the third best collegiate football team from 1956 to 1995, according to the Jeff Sagarin Ratings released in January of 1996. The Rebels were also among the winningest programs in the country under Vaught during the 1950s and 1960s. From 1950-59, Ole Miss posted an 80-21-5 record (.778 winning percentage). The 80 wins and 77.8 winning percentage were second to only Oklahoma dur-
ing that decade. In the 1960s, Vaught guided the Rebels to a 72-20-6 record and a 76.5 winning percentage, which was the fourth best during that decade. Under Vaught’s guidance, Ole Miss made Hemingway Stadium (later named Vaught-Hemingway Stadium) one of the toughest places in the nation for opposing teams to play. In his 24 seasons at the helm, Vaught’s teams compiled an impressive 57-6-2 record in Oxford for an astounding 89.2 winning percentage. From 1952-1964, the Rebels put together an incredible 34game homefield unbeaten streak (33-0-1), including 21-straight victories from 1952-59.
REBEL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS
In the 1950s and 1960s under Vaught, Ole Miss was a fixture in the national polls. The Rebels were ranked atop the Associated Press poll for three weeks during the 1960 season and one week during the 1961 campaign. In 1964, Ole Miss was ranked preseason No. 1 in the Associated Press poll. Vaught also made going to postseason play the norm rather than the exception for the Rebel football program. Ole Miss played in 15 consecutive bowl games from 1957-71 which, at that time, was a national record. In all, Vaught led Ole Miss to 18 bowl game appearances, posting a 10-8 record in those contests. For his efforts, Vaught was named SEC Coach of the Year six times (1947, 1948, 1954, 1955, 1960, 1962). During his time at the helm, Vaught coached some of the best players ever to wear the Red & Blue. In 24 seasons, Vaught produced 26 All-America first-teamers. He also coached four players who finished in the top five in the Heisman Trophy voting. Along with Conerly in 1947, Charlie Flowers (5th in 1959), Jake Gibbs (3rd in 1960) and Archie Manning (4th in 1969, 3rd in 1970) were in the running for college football’s top honor. Failing health forced Vaught to resign his position in 1970 and the reins of the Ole Miss football program were turned over to Billy Kinard.

Kinard became the first Ole Miss alumnus to head up the football program, while Frank “Bruiser” Kinard, an offensive line coach under Vaught since 1948, was named to replace Smith as athletic director that same year. The Rebels went 16-9 under Billy Kinard, including a 10-2 record and a 41-18 Peach Bowl victory over Georgia Tech in his first year in 1971. Kinard’s 10 victories are tied for fourth most by a first-year head coach in NCAA Division I history. Kinard coached the Rebels through the 1972 campaign and the third contest of the 1973 season before startling developments following the Sept. 22, 1973, game with Memphis State saw both Kinards replaced by Vaught. Vaught returned to the field to guide the Rebels through the remainder of the 1973 season while also taking on the responsibility of athletic director. Following the 1973 football campaign, Vaught resigned once again as head coach, but remained on as athletic director. His final record with the Rebels was an amazing 190-61-12. The 190 victories still rank Vaught among the top 25 winningest coaches in NCAA Division I history, and he is the fourth-winningest coach in SEC history behind Bear Bryant’s (Alabama) 323 wins, Lou Holtz’s (South Carolina) 238 wins and Vince Dooley’s (Georgia) 201 victories. In 1979, Vaught was inducted in the National College Football Hall of Fame. Ken Cooper, an assistant under Kinard since 1971, was named head coach on Jan. 17, 1974, and took Ole Miss through the 1977 season. Cooper compiled a 21-23 record during his four years at the helm, and his tenure is probably best remembered for one hot and humid day in September 1977. In one of the most memorable games in Rebel football history, Ole Miss upset Notre Dame, 2013 in Mississippi Memorial Stadium on Sept. 17, 1977, in Jackson. That loss was the Irish’s lone setback of the 1977 campaign, as Notre Dame finished the season with

an 11-1 record and claimed the national title. Following the 1977 season, Steve Sloan was hired as the new Rebel boss and began his five-year stint in 1978. Sloan posted a 20-34 record from 1978-82.
BREWER RETURNS After stepping outside the Ole Miss family football tree the previous nine seasons, Ole Miss looked for a familiar face to lead the football program, and the Rebels found that person when Billy Brewer returned to Oxford to take over as head coach in December of 1982. In his first season in 1983, Brewer put the Ole Miss program on the road back to national prominence. Brewer guided the Rebels to their first winning regular season since 1977 with a 7-4 mark. The Rebels received their first bowl game invitation since 1971 and met Air Force in the Independence Bowl. Ole Miss dropped a 9-3 decision to the Falcons and finished with a 7-5 record. Brewer followed his first season with 10 more at the helm of the Rebel program. During his tenure, he led the Rebels to five more winning seasons and four additional bowls, including Ole Miss’ 1990 New Year’s Day Gator Bowl appearance. The Jan. 1 bowl game was the program’s first since 1969. Brewer was named SEC Coach of the Year in 1986 (8-3-1 record) and 1990 (9-3 record), and the 1986 season saw the Rebels return to the national rankings for the first time in over a decade. In his 11 seasons, Brewer also led Ole Miss to eight Egg Bowl victories over rival, Mississippi State. Brewer coached 11 years (1983-93) and compiled a 67-56-3 record, making him the second winningest Ole Miss football coach behind Vaught. Brewer was dismissed just prior to the 1994 season, and Joe Lee Dunn took over as interim coach, directing the Rebels to a 4-7 record under difficult circumstances.
REBELS ON THE RISE In the mid-1990s Ole Miss football was somewhat down, but not out, and it needed a boost of energy to revitalize the program. On Dec. 2, 1994, Tommy Tuberville was selected as the coach in charge of getting the Rebels

on the right track. After serving as an assistant coach on the collegiate level for nine seasons (eight at Miami and one at Texas A&M), Tuberville began creating excitement in his first season in 1995, finishing the campaign with a 6-5 record and a Egg Bowl victory over Mississippi State. That excitement grew to a fever pitch in 1997, when Ole Miss recorded its best season since 1992 with an 8-4 record, a thrilling 15-14 Egg Bowl victory over Mississippi State and a Motor City Bowl win over Marshall. The bowl appearance was the program’s first since 1992, and the Rebels earned a final national ranking of No. 22 in both polls. The revitalized Ole Miss program continued its winning ways in 1998, despite a coaching change following the regular season. David Cutcliffe took over as head coach on Dec. 2, 1998. Cutcliffe, who came to Ole Miss from his offensive coordinator post at Tennessee, took over the reins just 29 days before the Rebels’ Sanford Independence Bowl date versus Texas Tech. Despite the short preparation time for the game, Cutcliffe led the Rebels to a 35-18 victory over the Red Raiders, quite arguably the biggest upset of the 1998 bowl season.
OFFENSIVE FIREWORKS OVER OXFORD Cutcliffe, who is recognized as one of the top offensive minds in collegiate football, brought a high-powered offensive style that had Rebel fans waiting with anticipation for each season to start. In his six seasons, the Rebels averaged more than 350 points per year, including shattering the record for points scored in a season during the 2003 campaign with 442. The previous mark was 391 points by the 2001 squad. During Cutcliffe’s tenure, the Rebels set numerous game, season and career records. Cutcliffe’s football philosophy also translated into wins for the Rebel program. Under Cutcliffe, Ole Miss posted 44 overall victories, including four wins in the postseason.

In the time from 1997-2003, the Rebels played in six bowl games, which tied them with Arkansas for the most bowl appearances among SEC Western Division schools during that span. The only SEC teams that made bowl appearances all seven years were Florida, Georgia and Tennessee, all Eastern Division squads. In 2003, Cutcliffe guided the Rebels, who many picked to finish fifth in the SEC’s Western Division, to a 10-3 overall mark and a share of the SEC West title with eventual BCS National Champion LSU. The title was the Rebels’ first league football title of any sort since winning the conference crown in 1963. Following their 31-28 victory over Oklahoma State in the SBC Cotton Bowl Classic, the Rebels ended the 2003 campaign with a No. 13 national ranking. It was Ole Miss’ first New Year’s bowl since the 1991 Gator Bowl against Michigan. Cutcliffe preceded his 2003 campaign with four winning seasons in 1999 (8-4), 2000 (7-5), 2001 (7-4) and 2002 (7-6), becoming the first Rebel mentor since Harry Mehre (1938-41) to post winning marks in his first five years. Cutcliffe also directed Ole Miss to four bowl appearances in his first five seasons, and is the only head coach in Ole Miss history to do so.

HISTORY & RECORDS
COACH “O” PUTS REBELS ON RECRUITING MAP On December 16, 2004, Ole Miss turned to one of college football’s premier recruiters and defensive line coaches in Ed Orgeron. Orgeron took control of the Rebel program after serving the previous seven seasons as defensive line coach at the University of Southern California, where he played a key role in Pete Carroll’s Trojans winning back-to-back national championships in 2003 and 2004. Orgeron also served as USC’s recruiting coordinator from 2001-2004 and was named the 2004 National Recruiter of the Year by The Sporting News and Rivals.com. Orgeron’s talent as a recruiter created a buzz among Rebel fans and drew national attention when Ole Miss’ 2006 signing class finished as high as ninth in the rankings. All three of his recruiting classes were listed among the best in college football.

NUTT LEADS REBELS TO CONSECUTIVE JANUARY BOWLS The Ole Miss football program sought a proven winner when Houston Nutt was introduced as the Rebels’ 36th head coach on Nov. 28, 2007. After guiding Arkansas to three SEC Western Division titles and eight bowl berths in his decade in Fayetteville, Nutt immediately reversed the Rebels’ fortunes and guided Ole Miss to success that had not been experienced in Oxford in a half century. Nutt’s first two years at the helm produced consecutive nine-win seasons for the first time since 1961-62 and back-to-back January bowl victories for the first time since 1960-61. In his first season in Oxford, Nutt led the Rebels to a 9-4 record (5-3 in the SEC), second in the West, a 47-34 win over Texas Tech in the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic and a No. 14 final national ranking. Rising as high as No. 4 in the national rankings in 2009, Nutt’s Rebels knocked off No. 8 LSU, Tennessee and Arkansas en route to a second straight berth in the Cotton Bowl, in which Ole Miss prevailed over No. 18 Oklahoma State 21-7. The Rebels finished 20th in the AP poll.
MISSISSIPPI NATIVE FREEZE TABBED TO RETURN TITLES TO OLE MISS 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 and was introduced as the Rebels’ 37th head coach on December 5, 2011. Freeze, a noted speaker and recruiter throughout
Hugh Freeze was named the Rebels’ 37th head coach on December 5, 2011.
his career, has enjoyed success at nearly every coaching level over the past 18 years, from high school to NAIA to FBS, and each stop has featured a high-scoring offense and the ability to motivate young people. The most recent stop for the former Ole Miss assistant was a record-setting 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. Ole Miss has always been committed to having one of the top football programs in the nation, and the University has strengthened that commitment in recent years.
Among the recent upgrades to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium was a new $6 million integrated system featuring a large high definition video display that was installed at the beginning of the 2008 season. The Daktronics video display is one of the largest true high definition displays in the Southeastern Conference. Also included in the upgrades was a new sound system. Last summer, Ole Miss Athletics launched the “Forward Together” capital campaign that includes plans for a north end zone expansion in addition to a new arena and other projects. Among the finest facilities in all of college athletics, the Indoor Practice Facility sits right beside VaughtHemingway Stadium. The 150,000 square-foot enclosure features a full-sized indoor practice field among many other amenities. The tradition continues for a program with a proud and storied history.

THE PERFECT TEAM 1962 ... The year stands as a benchmark of change in the life of Ole Miss. Legendary Rebel Head Coach John Vaught and his football team not only put together the only perfect season in the history of Ole Miss football, but they also captured the Billingsley, Litkenhous and Sagarin ratings national titles and their fifth SEC championship. The season’s highlight came when the Rebels were invited to the prestigious Sugar Bowl, where they defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks 17-13. Vaught garnered SEC Coach of the Year honors. Those associated with the 1962 team donated the funds for the “Walk of Champions” arch, located at the entrance to the Grove near the Student Union plaza. The site is the route for the football team’s traditional “walk through The Grove” on game days. It was dedicated in the fall of 1998. The purpose of the arch is to remind all athletes that they play for national championships, SEC championships and Ole Miss pride. The names of the coaches,

players, trainers and managers who won the hearts of Rebel fans with their spirit and tenacity are listed on a plaque. “Joe Wilkins, Larry ‘Leo’ Johnson and I first discussed the idea of an arch in the fall of 1997 while we were visiting in the Grove, and we agreed to purse it,” said Samuel W. Owen of Nashville, a member of the 1962 team. “We want the arch to stand as a symbol of what can be accomplished with teamwork, loyalty and trust.”

HISTORY & RECORDS
THE BATTLE FOR THE GOLDEN EGG The following is the background as to how the Ole MissMississippi State football game came to be known as the “Battle of the Golden Egg” or even “The Egg Bowl.” Many of the excerpts are reprinted from the book “Mississippi Mayhem,” written by WIlliam Banner, III.
1926 Up until the 1926 meeting in Starkville, Ole Miss had only claimed five victories in the previous 23 football contests between the Rebels and Bulldogs. Thus, when Ole Miss claimed a 7-6 victory over then Mississippi A&M College, a celebration was due at Scott Field after that ‘26 contest. Oddly, huge roars went up from both sides at the final whistle, not just from the Ole Miss stands. While the A&M players walked slowly off the field with heads bowed, wrote one newsman, the Maroon student section stood and sang the alma mater. But on the east side, pandemonium. Well wishers rushed “like madmen onto the field,” Webb Burke said in his 1957 interview. Some fans made a dash for the goal posts. Irate Aggie supporters took after the ambitious Ole Miss group with cane bottom chairs, and fights broke out. The mayhem continued until most of the chairs were splintered. As explained by the Reveille, A&M yearbook, “A few chairs had to be sacrificed over the heads of these to persuade them that was entirely the wrong attitude.” As described in a story for the Commercial Appeal by Ben Hilbun, who one day would become president of the Starkville school, “The phantom of victory, that for thirteen years eluded Ole Miss, returned to the bearded Berserkers ... and they won over A&M, their traditional rivals, 7 to 6.” Ole Miss students fought for the goal posts, he continued, “but were restrained.” Ole Miss fans couldn’t believe their victory. Through all their 13 defeats since 1910 (they did not play in 1912, 1913 and 1914) they had only scored in three games, counted just 33 points to A&M’s 327, an average of 25-3. Injuries to players were expected. But not to spectators. Ole Miss and A&M students, shocked by the battle that erupted after the game, vowed that it must not happen again. The result was the Golden Egg, a trophy to cool the heat of battle, instituted the following season by joint agreement of the two student bodies. Meanwhile, “The Battle of Starkville” continued in student newspapers. The Reflector denounced other newspaper stories complimenting the clean play, especially that of Ole Miss. The Aggie writers thought the Ole Miss players used some unfair tactics. The Mississippian asked, “Why ‘gripe,’ ye Aggie Scribe? Wait til ‘next year’.”
The Reflector described the post-game battle. Only a band of “hoodlums,” a writer declared, would swarm onto a field of victory to secure souvenirs. The Mississippian replied that the Aggie chair brigade which defended the goal posts “came to the field with malice aforethought ... with the intent of staging a ‘free for all’ ...” 1927 The Golden Egg was first proposed by members of Iota Sigma, an Ole Miss honorary activities fraternity. As thoughts of last year’s game, Iota Sigma proposed that a trophy be awarded in a dignified ceremony designed to calm excited fans. One proposal that was rejected was to send the goal posts to the winning side each year. A&M approved the suggestion of an award, and Ole Miss, two weeks before the game, officially added its approval. The trophy, to be called “The Golden Egg”, would be a regulation-size gold-plated football mounted on a pedestal. Costs of approximately $250 would be shared by both schools. Ole Miss students held a tag day to raise funds. The joint resolution of the two student bodies declared they agreed on the trophy “in order to effect a better understanding in athletic relations, to foster clean sportsmanship, and to promote a lasting tradition...” A brand-new series between the University of Mississippi and Mississippi A&M College began on Thanksgiving Day, 1927; the first Battle of the Golden Egg. Of course, it was the Ole Miss-A&M slugfest, played before a crowd of 14,000 for the first possession of the gold football which was to become symbolic of supremacy in this annual feud-battle.
It was actually the 25th meeting of the two combatants. And for the second time in four years it was Push versus Pass, a heavier line versus a lighter passing attack. And once again the Pushers prevailed, except this time the pushing team was Ole Miss. The score was 20-12. Purser Hewitt of the Clarion-Ledger described it best: “On the sidelines a band garbed in red and blue played ‘Give ‘em Hell, Mississippi’ and on the gridiron a team wearing the same colors did that very thing...” Unlike last year’s brawl ending, the 1927 game closed with a highly dignified ceremony, the first presentation of the Golden Egg. As previously agreed in the inception of the egg, the schools first sang their alma maters, Ole Miss, as winner, sang first. The captains of the two teams, presidents of the two student bodies and the heads of the two schools met in the center of the field. B.M. Walker, president of A&M, presented the trophy to Alfred Hume, chancellor of the University, who turned it over to Ole Miss captain Applewhite. The Mississippian, Ole Miss’ student newspaper, reported “sincere handshaking” among players of both teams. And, “Throughout the day not a single demonstration of violence was committed...” Captain Applewhite, proudly holding the Golden Egg, was carried from the field on the shoulders of “a score of students.” The Egg is one of the most treasured possessions of either school. It is engraved with the score of each year’s game and stands in a place of honor. When a tie occurred, the previous year’s winner kept it for the first half of the year, then it went to the other school.
The Spoils of Victory: Members of the 2008 Ole Miss squad, including then-head coach Houston Nutt, raise “The Golden Egg” above their heads after dismantling Mississippi State 45-0 in Oxford, the largest margin of victory since the Rebels shut out the Bulldogs 48-0 in 1971.

HISTORY & RECORDS 1978 The Ole Miss-Mississippi State series took on a new twist in 1978, a season which saw the Rebels 4-6 and the Bulldogs 6-4 heading into the season finale. As Steve Doyle of the Jackson, Miss., Clarion-Ledger reported in the Nov. 20 edition, “In a year in which neither team will be remembered, the Battle of the Golden Egg is a bowl game. Intense, heated, unbelievable in its lore, this one is for supremacy of the season. Bragging rights, recruiting edges and sheer pride are the guts of it. Every cliche you’ve ever heard about a single game applies to it.” A year earlier, the Clarion-Ledger headline on game day had been “Egg Bowl Is Up For Scramble” and the following day it was “Egg Bowl ‘77: State 18, Ole Miss 14.” In 1978, with both teams apparently out of the bowl picture, Executive Sports Editor Tom Patterson decided to do something extra to spice up coverage of the annual grudge match, instructing his staff to follow the “Egg Bowl” theme throughout the week. The result was an award winning special section on Sunday, which recounted in great detail the Rebels’ stunning 27-7 victory over the highly-favored Bulldogs. In that game, John Fourcade made his first start at quarterback to become the first Ole Miss freshman since 1945 to receive the starting nod at the signal-caller slot. The special section was a big success and the die was cast. Patterson’s idea, for the most part, has been continued by the paper since 1978. Although it’s officially the “Battle of the Golden Egg,” most members of the media now refer to the annual bloodletting simply as the “Egg Bowl.”
win gave the Rebels a winning season and head coach Tommy Tuberville a triumph over the school’s biggest rival in his first Egg Bowl game. Dou Innocent rushed for a record 242 yards on 39 carries to help the Rebels overcome an early 10-0 deficit. The Bulldogs never entered Ole Miss territory in the second half. 1997 The 1997 contest provided another close contest and perhaps the most exciting finish ever in the series. Stewart Patridge hit Andre Rone for a 10-yard TD pass with 25 seconds left and then found Cory Peterson over the middle on the two-point conversion attempt to give the Rebels a 15-14 win over Mississippi State. The win propelled the Rebels to their first bowl game since the 1992 Liberty Bowl when they were rewarded with an invite to the inaugural Ford Motor City Bowl in Pontiac, Mich. 2000 Running back Deuce McAllister rushed for three touchdowns and passed for another to lead Ole Miss to a 45-30 victory on Thanksgiving Night. With Senior Night being celebrated at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, McAllister hooked up with fellow fourth-year Rebel Romaro Miller on a 20-yard halfback option TD toss. McAllister finished with 121 yards rushing on 24 carries, while Miller threw for 127 yards and ran for another 60. The win returned the Golden Egg to Oxford after a twoyear absence.

In one of the series’ most memorable battles, Ole Miss claimed a pulsating 24-23 victory over Mississippi State in Jackson, but it took some heroics on the part of the Rebels and a 40 miles-per-hour crosswind to decide the outcome. Down 17-0, Ole Miss got on the board when Timmy Moffett returned a punt 66 yards for a touchdown with 1:21 remaining in the first half. However, the Bulldogs added to their lead after the break, and the Rebels found themselves trailing 23-7 to start the fourth quarter. With the wind now at its back, Ole Miss utilized two fumble recoveries and an interception to take a late 24-23 advantage. But State made one last try and moved the ball to the Rebel 10 yardline with 24 seconds left. On fourth down, MSU kicker Artie Cosby attempted a 27-yard field goal, but as true as it was between the uprights, the ball never got there as the wind just slapped it down to give Ole Miss its first on-the-field winning season in eight years at 6-5 and a berth in the Independence Bowl.
Eli Manning passed for 260 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Rebels to a 31-0 shutout win in his final regular-season collegiate game. The Ole Miss defense held the Bulldogs to only 91 yards passing and picked off one Mississippi State pass in Jackie Sherrill’s final game as head coach on a rainy evening in Starkville. The win propelled the Rebels to the Cotton Bowl and their first 10 win season since 1971. The game was also the final of six straight Egg Bowls (1998-2003) played on Thanksgiving and televised nationally by ESPN.
1991 “The Battle of the Golden Egg” returned to campus in 1991 as Mississippi State hosted Ole Miss in Starkville. It marked the first on-campus meeting between the two teams since 1972. Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford was the site of the 1992 game, which Ole Miss won, 17-10 thanks to a thrilling goal-line stand. The series continues to rotate between campus sites.
2008 Jevan Snead threw for 213 yards and four touchdowns and Greg Hardy had three of Ole Miss’ schoolrecord 11 sacks, as the Rebels beat Mississippi State 45-0 in the most lopsided Egg Bowl in 37 years. The Rebels finished with a school-record minus-64 rushing yards allowed and 14 tackles for loss. Defensive end Hardy and tackle Peria Jerry led the charge. Jerry had four tackles for loss, including two sacks. Fellow tackle Jerrell Powe finished with 1 1/2 sacks, two tackles for loss and an interception.
This year’s “Battle for the Golden Egg” will take place on Saturday, Nov. 24 at Vaught Hemingway Stadium. The match-up will be the 109th meeting between the two schools and the 85th Egg Bowl.
1995 Ole Miss rode a school-record rushing performance and a stingy second-half deficit to a 13-10 victory over Mississippi State to regain the Egg Bowl Trophy. The

HISTORY & RECORDS
OLE MISS BOWL HISTORY Ole Miss has a proud tradition of bowling that dates back to 1935, including what once was a national record of consecutive bowl appearances — from 1957 to 1972. It is a high standard of excellence which present-day Ole Miss football teams continue to strive for. Ed Walker coached the first Ole Miss bowl team, the high-scoring outfit of 1935 which out-played, but was nipped by Catholic University, 20-19, in the 1936 Orange Bowl. The next bowl for the Rebels was for the 1947 squad, a 12-year wait. But from there, with Coach John Howard Vaught at the Ole Miss helm, bowls came and kept coming after the Rebels following each season. Vaught took the Rebs to the ill-fated Delta Bowl in 1948, as the 1947 SEC Champions beat Texas Christian 13-9. Vaught had to wait until 1952 to go bowling again, but from that point forward, the Rebel mentor made post-season games a habit that was hard to break. All-in-all, the Rebels participated in six Sugar Bowls, two Gators, one Cotton, two Bluebonnets, two Liberties, one Sun and one Peach during that run of 15 straight. Vaught’s personal bowl record was 10-8, while Billy Kinard’s 1971 Rebels, with a 9-2 record, earned a bid to play Georgia Tech in the Peach Bowl, which produced a 41-18 triumph. Ole Miss dropped out of the bowl picture after that 1971 Peach Bowl appearance with Georgia Tech. When Billy Brewer became head coach prior to the 1983 season, the Rebels had not been bowling for 12 years. During Brewer’s 11 years as head coach, Ole Miss went to five bowls, twice to the Independence, twice to the Liberty, and once to the Gator. Brewer was 3-2 as a coach in bowl games. The Rebels returned to postseason action in 1997 for the first time since the 1992 Liberty Bowl, and for the first time under Tommy Tuberville, as Ole Miss was invited to the inaugural Ford Motor City Bowl in Pontiac, Mich. Played in front of a crowd of over 43,000 at the Pontiac Silverdome, freshman running back Deuce McAllister scored on a one-yard plunge with 31 seconds left to play to lift Ole Miss to a 34-31 win over the Marshall Thundering Herd in one of the most exciting bowl games of the 1997 postseason. The Rebels then followed with what was probably the biggest upset of the 1998 bowl season, as Ole Miss defeated heavily favored Texas Tech, 35-18, in the Sanford Independence Bowl in head coach David Cutcliffe’s debut. Cutcliffe and Ole Miss returned to the Independence Bowl again in 1999, where it defeated Oklahoma 27-25, to win its third consecutive bowl game in three years. Ole Miss went to its fourth-straight bowl in 2000, but fell to West Virginia 49-38 in the Music City Bowl. Cutcliffe then went to 3-0 in the Independence Bowl in 2002 when the Rebels defeated Nebraska 27-23. He won his fourth bowl game with a 31-28 win over Oklahoma State in the 2004 Cotton Bowl. Ole Miss returned to the Coton Bowl in 2009 under first-year head coach Houston Nutt, who lead the Rebels to a thrilling 47-34 victory over No. 8 Texas Tech. The Rebels made their third-straight trip to the Cotton Bowl in 2010, defeating Oklahoma State 21-7. 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.

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

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

asdfasdQuaterback Eagle Day led Ole Miss to its first major bowl win with a 14-13 victory over TCU in the 1956 Cotton Bowl. Jim Swink staked the Horned Frogs to a 13-0 lead with touchdown runs of one and 39 yards. Day got the Rebels going with a four-play, 66-yard scoring drive that resulted in Paige Cothren’s three-yard TD run to make it 13-7 Eagle Day at halftime. After a scoreless third quarter, Day would engineer another 66-yard scoring match. A 13-yard pass from Day to Cothren on fourth down moved the ball to the Horned Frog 32. Two plays later, Day sprinted 25 yards to the five. Billy Lott then broke around right end for a five-yard touchdown and Cothren’s PAT gave the Rebels a 14-13 lead with 4:22 remaining. Eddie Crawford thwarted any comeback attempt by TCU with an interception. Day would then manage to run out the clock to secure the victory for Ole Miss. OLE MISS TCU

1958 GATOR BOWL Ole Miss 7 Florida 3
A little over two months after Billy Cannon’s famous 89-yard punt return on Halloween night lifted LSU to a 7-3 win over Ole Miss in Baton Rouge, the second-ranked Rebels and third-ranked Tigers were rematched in the 1960 Sugar Bowl. This time, Ole Miss made sure there would be no heroics from Cannon. The Rebel defense limited Bobby Franklin the 1959 Heisman Trophy winner to eight yards on six carries. The Tigers managed just 74 yards total on the night and were a -15 in the rushing department. Ole Miss, led by Bobby Franklin’s two touchdown passes, totaled 363 yards of offense and rolled to a 21-0 victory. Franklin finished 10-of-15 passing for 148 yards and had touchdown passes of 18 yards to Larry Grantham and nine yards to George Blair in the second half. He would garner the game’s Outstanding Player honor. Ole Miss would finish the year 10-1 and was recognized as national champions by the Berryman, Billingsley, Dunkel and Sagarin ratings. The 1959 squad would also go on to earn “Team of the Decade” honors within the SEC by the Associated Press.

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

Jim Anderson’s one-yard touchdown run in the first quarter proved to be enough as Ole Miss knocked off Florida 7-3 on an overcast day in the 1958 Gator Bowl. The Rebels took the game’s opening kickoff and marched 70 yards for the game’s only touchdown. Florida would take the ensuing kickoff and score on Billy Booker’s Richard Price 27-yard field goal to make it 7-3 with 7:44 left in the first quarter. Neither team would score the rest of the game. The Gators had two opportunities to take the lead in the fourth quarter. A surprise quick kick by Florida’s Bobby Joe Green traveled 76 yards to just outside the Rebel 10 to start the final period. Milton Crain, looking for someone to block, stumbled over the ball, and Dave Hudson covered for the Gators. Florida would move to the two, but Richard Price stuffed a fourth-and-goal attempt for the Gators. After a short punt, the Gators took over at the Rebel 26 and advanced to the 15 before Bill Churchwell forced and recovered a fumble. The two teams would then exchange punts, however, Jimmy Dunn bobbled a Rebel punt at the Florida 48 and Ole Miss recovered. The Rebels then ran out the final 3:10 of the game. 7 3

Playing without All-America fullback Billy Ray Adams, Ole Miss became a 12-7 upset victim to Texas in the 1962 Cotton Bowl. Adams was injured in a car accident two days after the Rebels’ 37-7 win over Mississippi State in November, after returning from Jackson to attend a touchdown club meeting. Ole Miss came into the conReed Davis test sporting a 9-1 record and having outscored its opponents 326-40. However, without Adams, the Longhorns made sure the Rebels didn’t do damage through the air with All-America quarterback Glynn Griffing. The Rebels held a 319-183 advantage in total offense, but couldn’t overcome six turnovers, including five interceptions. Griffing was 12-of-29 for 163 yards with three interceptions and a touchdown. Doug Elmore was intercepted twice in eight pass attempts. Ole Miss’ only points of the day came in the third quarter when Reed Davis scored on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Griffing to make it 12-7.

Ole Miss completed a perfect 10-0 season with a 17-13 victory over Arkansas in the 1963 Sugar Bowl. Quarterback Glynn Griffing was a near unanimous selection for the game’s Most Valuable Player Award. He connected on 14-of-23 passes for 242 yards with one touchdown and one interception to break Davey O’Brien’s 24-year-old Louis Guy Sugar Bowl passing yards record. As effective as Griffing was through the air, it was his one-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that broke a 10-10 tie and put the Rebels up for good. The Razorbacks could only answer with a 22-yard field goal from Tom McKnelly with 1:33 left in the third quarter. Griffing’s 33-yard touchdown pass to Louis Guy gave Ole Miss a 10-3 lead heading into the intermission. OLE MISS ARKANSAS SCORING OM — UA — OM — UA — OM — UA —

Four plus inches of snow fell on New Orleans the day before Ole Miss took the field against Alabama in the 1964 Sugar Bowl. Under the slippery conditions, the Rebels and Crimson Tide combined for 17 fumbles, including nine lost. Unfortunately for Ole Miss, the Rebels would fumble 11 times and lose six. Perry Lee Dunn Alabama would also intercept three Ole Miss passes en route to receiving four Tim Davis field goals and post a 12-7 win. Ole Miss’ lone score would come in the fourth quarter on a five-yard pass from Perry Lee Dunn to Lee Smith to provide the 12-7 final. The Rebels ended up with a 248-194 advantage in total offense, but most of the yards came too late. The Crimson Tide held a 112-34 edge in the first half to build a 9-0 halftime lead.

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

Redshirt freshman quarterback Eli Manning came off the bench to throw three fourth-quarter touchdown passes, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a 49-9 deficit as Ole Miss fell 49-38 to West Virginia in the 2000 Music City Bowl. The game was the final one for Mountaineer head coach Don Nehlen’s 21-year career at the school. Leading 35-9 at the half, Shawn Terry returned the second half kickoff 99 yards to extend the West Eli Manning Virginia lead to 42-9. The Mountaineers then made it 49-9 on a 10-yard pass from Brad Lewis to Khori Ivy. Romaro Miller scored on a seven-yard run with 7:52 left in the third quarter to make it 49-16 before Manning would take over the offense. In the final 15 minutes, Manning threw touchdown passes of 23 yards to Jamie Armstrong, 18 yards to Omar Rayford and 16 yards to Toward Sanford. Manning’s three touchdown passes tied an Ole Miss bowl record. He finished 12-of-20 for 167 yards and was intercepted once.
Jonathan Nichols’ 43-yard field goal with 4:36 remaining in the game helped Ole Miss post a 27-23 win over Nebraska in the 2002 Independence Bowl. Junior quarterback Eli Manning completed 25-of-44 passes for 313 yards and a touchdown to earn Most Valuable Offensive Player honors. The Cornhuskers took a 17-7 lead with 2:43 left in the first half Jesse Mitchell when DeJuan Groce returned a punt 60 yards for a score. Manning would engineer a nine-play, 88-yard drive in 1:11, capped by a one-yard run by Toward Sanford to pull the Rebels to within 17-14 at halftime. Nichols tied the game in the third quarter with a 37-yard field goal and Nebraska answered with a 23-yard field goal by Josh Brown to take a 20-17 lead with 7:06 left in the quarter. Sanford’s second one-yard touchdown run of the day with 3:24 left in the third quarter put Ole Miss on top for good at 24-20.

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

2009 COTTON BOWL
This roll began when Ole Miss was only 3-4 and coming off consecutive losses following its stunning upset at the Swamp. Although Texas Tech pulled off huge comebacks in its last two bowls, McCluster ended any such thoughts by barreling into the end zone with 4:34 left. When Rebels fans finished clapping, they began chanting ``S-E-C! S-E-C!’’ They did so again with 1:37 left after Ole Miss snuffed out a 2-point conversion attempt, then again following a recovered onside kick. A little louder and the chants might’ve been heard at the Big 12 offices about 12 miles away. Still, the message that the fourth-best team in the SEC, according to the polls, is better than the third-best team in the Big 12 will certainly be noted as schools from these leagues - No. 1 Florida and No. 2 Oklahoma - meet next week in the national championship game. The Red Raiders had a direct path to playing in that game until getting crushed by the Sooners in late November. At the time, they were unbeaten and ranked second, the highest mark in school history. Getting drubbed in two of the last three games takes some shine off Tech’s season, and kept senior quarterback Graham Harrell from going out with the school’s record-setting 12th win. Harrell’s consolation was several statistical feats: most career touchdowns in major college football (four in this game made it 134 for his career, breaking the record of 131 set by Hawaii’s Colt Brennan) and first player with two 5,000-yard passing seasons. Harrell was 36-of-58 for a Cotton Bowl-record 364 yards, giving him 5,111 yards this season. Only five other quarterbacks have cracked 5,000, including Brennan and two others from Texas Tech. This was the 73rd Cotton Bowl and the last in its namesake home. nected on the PAT attempt.

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

HISTORY & RECORDS
2010 COTTON BOWL 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 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. OKLAHOMA STATE OLE MISS

NOTE: The overall record for each season includes bowl victories. However, the total points for each year through 2001 includes only regular-season contests. For the years the Rebels played in a bowl game prior to 2002, the points are not included because the NCAA did not count bowl game statistics. ‡ See page 204-205 for a complete list of all-time television appearances.

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

The PMS numbers for the Ole Miss red and blue are as follows: Red 186, Blue 2767.

There are many ties that bind the old grad to his Alma Mater, but the greatest of all the ties, and the one lasting tie, is that feeling of love and veneration of the traditions of Ole Miss.” The first Homecoming parade is believed to have taken place in 1930.

May thy fame throughout the nation, Thru thy sons and daughters grow, May thy name forever waken, In our hearts a tender glow, May thy counsel and thy spirit Ever keep us one in this, That our own shall be thine honor, Now and ever, dear Ole Miss.

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

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

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

FACILITIES
VAUGHT-HEMINGWAY STADIUM/HOLLINGSWORTH FIELD On the southeast side of the University of Mississippi campus stands historic Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, a landmark of Ole Miss tradition and an anchor for the strong future of Rebel football. The stadium and gameday experience have undergone a number of upgrades since the 2011 season, including video and sound quality, concessions, restrooms and aesthetic improvements. Plans for a north end zone expansion are underway as part of Ole Miss Athletics’ Forward Together capital campaign. A major enhancement to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium was a $6 million integrated system featuring a large high definition video display that was installed at the open of the 2008 season. The Daktronics video display is one of the largest true high definition displays in the Southeastern Conference. A new sound system rounded out the upgrades. In 2009, FieldTurf synthetic grass was installed on the stadium’s playing surface (it was natural grass from its beginning until 1970; Astroturf from 1970-84; natural grass again from 1985-2002; and AstroPlay synthetic from 2003-08). Although Ole Miss was the first SEC school to install FieldTurf in its stadium, more than 100 top NCAA programs play or practice on the top-of-the-line surface, as well as 21 NFL and several MLB teams. The stadium increased its capacity to 60,580 in 2002 with the bowling in of the south end zone, making it the largest facility in the state. With the additional seating, the Rebels have set record-breaking attendance figures over the last nine years, drawing all 10 of the largest crowds in school history. The momentous Ole Miss-Alabama encounter in 2009 attracted a crowd of 62,657, the largest ever to watch a football game on campus in Mississippi. The Rebels’ matchup with LSU in 2003 gathered 62,552 fans, and the 2004 Tennessee game drew 62,028. The stadium, known as Hemingway Stadium for much of its existence, began its long historic life in 1915 when students at the University helped in the construction of the first football grandstand at the site of the present field. The construction of the stadium and its permanent
foundation was a three-year, federally-sponsored project. Stadium capacity was originally listed at 24,000. During the summer of 1988, the stadium received a major facelift, highlighted by a new press box, new aluminum sideline seating and a club level section for 700 people. Renovations continued in the summer of 1990 when lights were added to the stadium. A Sony JumboTron scoreboard/message center was added for the 1997 season. In 1998, the Guy C. Billups Rebel Club Seating area was completed, placing an upper deck on the east side of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The addition, which includes a special seating section with an enclosed concession and lounge area, pushed capacity to over 50,000.
The stadium is named for the late Judge William Hemingway (1869-1937), a professor of law and longtime chairman of the University’s Committee on Athletics. On Oct. 16, 1982, John Howard Vaught saw his name added to the stadium. Vaught compiled a 190-61-12 record as head football coach at Ole Miss and brought the Rebels National Championships in 1959, 1960 and 1962. At the 1998 season opener vs. Memphis, the field was named in honor of Dr. Jerry Hollingsworth for his continuing generous support to Ole Miss athletics.

INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY Among the finest facilities in all of college athletics, the Ole Miss Indoor Practice Facility is the crown jewel in the growing athletics compound surrounding Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. “The Indoor Practice Facility speaks a great deal to our donor support, our athletics tradition and the future of our program,” said Athletics Director Ross Bjork. “I have been all over the nation, and this is one of the most impressive out there. We are excited about the numerous enhancements on the horizon, as the facility continues to serve as a tremendous recruiting asset for Ole Miss Athletics.” Located beside the South End Zone of VaughtHemingway Stadium, the Rebels moved into the spectacular $18 million multi-purpose structure in fall 2004. “With the addition of this magnificent indoor facility, we find that Ole Miss athletes and coaches have the opportunity to practice and play games in state-of-the-art facilities, on
the finest fields and courts,” then-Chancellor Robert Khayat said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Nov. 22, 2004. The 150,000-square-foot enclosure is a result of UM's Commitment to Excellence in Athletics Campaign, a $35 million initiative to upgrade the university's athletics programs. In addition to the IPF, the campaign also resulted in a golf facility, renovations to C.M. "Tad" Smith Coliseum and a stateof-the-art track and field complex, which sits just south of the IPF. Also, an endowment has been created to fund scholarships and maintain the new facilities. Numerous Rebel supporters contributed financially to the construction of the Indoor Practice Facility, including legendary Rebel quarterback Archie Manning. In May 2004, former Ole Miss running back Deuce McAllister donated $1 million toward the building of the facility. The architects of the facility were Ferguson & Associates of Jackson.

FEDEX ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER Since May 2007, Ole Miss student-athletes have benefitted tremendously from their first-class on-campus learning environment - the FedEx Student-Athlete Academic Support Center. FedEx Corporation announced on April 14, 2005, a $2.5 million gift over five years to the University of Mississippi to create such an elite academic support center for student-athletes. The center provides state-of-the-art computer facilities and space for study halls and tutoring for men and women student-athletes, as well as additional classrooms for all students. “FedEx has always been a strong supporter of educational initiatives at all levels,” said Mike Glenn, executive vice president of marketing development and corporate communications. “This contribution to the University of Mississippi is an extension of our commitment to helping improve the academic resources available to students, and student-athletes in particular.”
Glenn said FedEx and Ole Miss are committed to providing a strong academic foundation to enable students to reach their full potential. “The FedEx Center is one of the best academic facilities in college athletics,” said Athletics Director Ross Bjork. “It is the lifeblood of our student-athlete development and the chief recruiting tool for Ole Miss Athletics. Students come first in everything we do, and we cannot thank FedEx enough for their leadership and commitment.” The money was used to renovate a portion of the Starnes Athletic Center—which formerly housed football locker rooms, a weight room and training facilities—next to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on All-American Drive. The 22,500-square-foot building now houses the Office of Student-Athlete Academic Support, including offices, conference rooms, 20 large and small group tutoring rooms, a large study area, a multi-media classroom, computer lab and 150-seat high-tech auditorium. The project was completed in May 2007 with an approximate cost of $5 million.
In accepting the FedEx gift, university officials said the new center provides an important link in the university’s goal to compete at the highest level in every aspect of its intercollegiate programs. “American public universities are the best in the world largely because of the generosity of American corporations,” said then-UM Chancellor Robert Khayat. “FedEx sets the standard for philanthropy by which others are measured. In this case, Ole Miss student-athletes are the primary beneficiaries, but all our students will benefit and, as a result, our entire state benefits.” In addition to its latest gift to the University, FedEx supports several endowed scholarship programs, the Whitten Chair in Law, the Lott Leadership Institute, the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation and William Faulkner’s historic home, Rowan Oak.
STARNES ATHLETIC TRAINING CENTER Every aspect of Ole Miss Athletics is geared toward the success of its student-athletes. The Michael S. Starnes Athletic Training Center provides a valuable role in the development and display of that success. The multi-purpose Starnes Center has undergone many transformations through the years. It currently houses Ole Miss Sports Medicine, FCA and CHAMPS Life Skills headquarters and includes a 10,000-square-foot weight room and a sizeable memorabilia collection. Formerly the Doc Knight Field House, the Training Center stands just north of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and within walking distance of Tad Smith Coliseum, Swayze Field and the main athletics office complex. The primary training room on the Ole Miss campus is used by several Rebel sports. The training area has four offices for the athletic training staff, room for at least 13 treatment tables, six taping stations and countless rehabilitation equipment. It also contains a wet room with a whirlpool that help make up an environment for top-notch care and injury prevention for Rebel athletes.
The facility extends to the east into a similar structure which holds a massive weight room, a lobby, a conference room and offices. Connected to the west end is the FedEx Academic Support Center, a state-of-the-art complex opened in May 2007. Starnes, the building’s benefactor, donated $1 million toward the facility as part of an extensive $2.5 million renovation in 1995. A 1968 Ole Miss graduate, Starnes is president of Tennessee California Express, Inc., a transportation company. Much of the history and the many accolades of Rebel athletics are displayed in two rooms on the second floor of the Starnes Center that make up Hollingsworth-Manning Hall. The larger room is divided into four zones, with the North Wing reserved to honor the nine Ole Miss Rebels in the College Football Hall of Fame. The East Wing spotlights the 46 Ole Miss first-team All-Americans as well as Hall of Fame Coach John Vaught and the legacy of Chucky Mullins. The West Wing is reserved for baseball, track, tennis and golf

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

REBEL STRENGTH & CONDITIONING MISSION: The mission of the Ole Miss strength and conditioning program is to develop the specific physical and mental abilities as well as the lifestyle habits of our student athletes that will allow them to achieve the highest attainable levels of success. We will demand discipline, relentlessness and intelligent effort while we work toward improving each athlete’s skill level. We will cultivate a high-energy, up-tempo environment where enthusiasm and competition will flourish. We will attack this mission with a scientifically supported, comprehensive approach and specific considerations of the metabolic demands and injury risks of our sport. Training must prepare the athlete for the specific competitive stress load of their sport.
Paul Jackson Head Strength & Conditioning Coach
John Thompson Sr. Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach
Dominic Studzinski Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach
Matt Shadeed Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach
Top priority is to develop improved coordination during the execution of speed, power and strength movements. We will seek to develop each athlete’s individual ideal movement patterns, while maximally developing their strength, power, speed and agility. Everything we do in training is done to help the athletes more efficiently execute the movement requirements of their sport. The environment in the weight room must be one of high effort, intensity and excitement. An attitude will be established through training that will carry over onto the playing field. Discipline, hard work and vigor will become permanent traits of the athletes. There are no greater facilities at which to train athletes than the majestic Indoor Practice Facility. When entering the IPF’s 10,000-square-foot weight room, the Ole Miss players are quickly reminded of the championship philosophy that head football strength coach Paul Jackson and the Rebel staff set forth. The facility, which is entering its ninth year of existence, is enhanced with visual messages and houses state-of-the-art training equipment. Besides the hundreds of weights, the room also contains a variety of Hammer Strength machines, numerous Life Fitness cardiovascular machines and a fully-stocked nutrition center. With the IPF’s full-sized indoor practice field, the Rebels’ extensive workouts touch on every area of fitness and conditioning and prepare their bodies fully for intense SEC battles.
HEALTH AND SPORTS PERFORMANCE Under the leadership of Athletics Director Ross Bjork, Ole Miss launched the unique and comprehensive Health and Sports Performance program in July 2012, which takes a holistic approach to providing optimal health care for the demands of elite student-athletes. Through a complete collaboration between all services provided in the Health and Sports Performance model, Ole Miss is ensured not only healthy student-athletes, but ones that can achieve peak performance. These services include strength and conditioning, athletic training, team physicians, physical therapy, massage therapy, sports psychologist and sports nutrition. “Our team of Health and Sports Performance professionals strive to provide quality health and sports performance services based on the latest in health and strength training research,” said Shannon Singletary, Senior Associate A.D. for Health and Sports Performance. “By doing this we hope to not only provide our student-athletes with a better chance of winning on the field but also give them an opportunity to lead a healthy lifestyle.” Ole Miss Health and Sports Performance has strong working relationships with student health services, local physicians and Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi, which is located just miles from the Oxford campus. The department also taps into its own University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson for world-class treatment from multiple specialties

including orthopedics, neurology and cardiology. Ole Miss’ athletic trainers begin treatment and rehabilitation as early as 6 a.m. and are available until the last student-athlete is finished with practice or competition. There are currently six athletic training facilities on campus with the two main athletic training rooms located in the Starnes Athletic Training Center and the Indoor Practice Facility. In addition, there are four satellite athletic training rooms located in Tad Smith Coliseum, Basketball Practice Facility, Gillom Sports Center and Oxford-University Stadium/Swayze Field. The main athletic training rooms are stocked with equipment such as digital x-ray systems, stationary bikes, laser therapy equipment, therapeutic modalities, underwater treadmills and Biodex testing equipment. Each component is strategically designed to not only give the student-athletes the best care but also aid in returning them to competition as quickly and safely as possible.

STUDENT-ATHLETE ACADEMIC SUPPORT Ole Miss student-athletes not only have the opportunity to play in one of the best conferences in the nation, they also attend a university that is world-renowned for its academics. Led by newly hired Senior Associate Athletics Director for Academic Support Derek Cowherd, the Office of Student-Athlete Academic Support is committed to helping all Ole Miss student-athletes achieve academic success. Cowherd is assisted by four assistant directors, five full-time academic counselors, three learning specialists, two interns and numerous tutors and academic mentors. The mission of the Office of Student-Athlete Academic Support is to provide quality developmental and need-based programs to help student-athletes become independent and self-reliant learners. In an environment that promotes student development, the staff provides support for all student-athletes from the time they arrive on campus through graduation.

academic success with integrity, strict adherence to university, SEC and NCAA rules, and a dedication to excellence. Ole Miss has a long history of academic success among its football players, ranking first among Southern schools in Academic All-America selections and second in total football academic award recipients. Last year, Ole Miss football had more than its share of student-athletes named to the school’s various academic honor rolls, while placing 20 total players on Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Rolls. A total of 18 football players graduated from Ole Miss in 2012, with nine of those still retaining eligibility for the 2012 season. In 2005, Rebel linebacker and captain Rob Robertson was named the H. Boyd McWhorter SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Robertson and punter Cody Ridgeway also took home Academic All-America first team accolades, giving the Rebel football program 24 selections in its storied history. In 2001, Eli Manning nabbed Academic All-America second team honors, and in 2003, he was one of 15 student-athletes selected nationally as National Football Foundation Scholar-Athletes. Manning was also selected to the 2004 NCAA Today’s Top VIII. Over the last nine years, the Rebel program has had a pair of players inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s oldest and most prestigious undergraduate honors organization — Chad Pilcher in 2004, and Ben Boatright in 2003. Among all sports, Ole Miss had 133 student-athletes named to the SEC Academic Honor Rolls in 2011-12. With Ole Miss athletics taking its place amongst the best in the nation, the Student-Athlete Academic Support staff hopes that Rebel graduates of today have a great impact in the future of tomorrow.
REBEL READY Rebel Ready - CHAMPS Life Skills is a well-rounded program for student-athletes to develop individual skills necessary to lead successful lives and become leaders for our communities and nation. The program consists of these five vital components: • The Commitment to Academic Excellence is promoted through a full range of services that include orientation, advising, tutoring, academic skills training and the recognition of academic excellence. • The Commitment to Athletic Excellence is developed by the department’s 10 women’s and eight men’s intercollegiate sports teams. The sponsorship is based on equity and compliance to all University, NCAA and Southeastern Conference rules and regulations. • The Commitment to Career Development is a joint effort of the Ole Miss Athletic Department and Career Center. The goal is to prepare student-athletes for their transition out of sports and into the career development process. Career development components of the
program include special workshops and programs for student-athletes and a senior resume brochure. • The Commitment to Personal Development is promoted through life skills and personal development seminars and sponsorship of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. • The Commitment to Service is promoted— in conjunction with the University Counseling Center—through many community service projects throughout the year. The Ole Miss student-athletes are very involved in the community and the community service program continues to grow. Andre Harris Jamil Northcutt Intern Assistant AD/ Internal Operations
NCAA COMPLIANCE BOOSTER A representative of the institution’s athletics interests (booster) is an individual, independent agency, corporate entity or other organization who is known to have been involved in promoting the institution’s athletics programs, made financial contributions to the athletics department or booster organizations or provided benefits to enrolled student-athletes and/or their families. For example, you are a booster if you have donated to the QB Club, purchased season tickets or employed a student-athlete. EXTRA BENEFIT? An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a booster to provide a student-athlete (or their family) a benefit that is not generally available to other University students or is not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of extra benefits include tickets to sporting events/concerts, reduced cost housing, meals, discounts on services, use of a car, etc. Extra benefits will jeopardize a student-athlete’s eligibility.
WHO IS A PROSPECT? A prospect is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade or above (seventh grade for men’s basketball), is attending prep school or junior college or who has withdrawn from a four-year college and plans to transfer. A prospect remains a prospect until they enroll and attend classes for a regular term (i.e. not summer) at the University. This means a prospect remains a prospect even after verbally committing or signing a National Letter of Intent. WHAT IS INSTITUTIONAL CONTROL? Institutional control of athletics is a fundamental requirement of NCAA legislation. A University is required to educate boosters on NCAA rules and regulations and monitor the athletics program for adherence to those rules. The University is responsible for the actions of its alumni, boosters and fans. If you have any questions or concerns please contact our office at 662-915-1594.

ADMINISTRATION
DR. DANIEL W. JONES | CHANCELLOR From an early age, Dr. Daniel W. Jones knew his career aspirations revolved around medicine and leadership. And while a physician leading a comprehensive university isn’t a common arrangement, Jones’ appointment as the 16th chancellor of the University of Mississippi is no surprise to anyone familiar with his record of leadership and achievements at the UM Medical Center in Jackson and the American Heart Association. Jones became chancellor on July 1, 2009, and oversees the campuses in Oxford, Jackson, Southaven, Tupelo and Grenada. Vice chancellor for health affairs and dean of the School of Medicine since 2003, Jones served as the Medical Center’s chief executive officer, overseeing five schools and the health system. Under his leadership, UMMC restructured its clinical enterprise to create a more agile, market-responsive organization focused on quality, efficiency and clinical leadership. The work resulted in a turnaround in financial performance and selection as one
of the Thomson Top 100 Hospitals in America. Jones’ leadership team also expanded the Medical Center’s commitment to minority scholarships, rural medicine and the elimination of health disparities. Enrollment of underrepresented medical students increased 80 percent in five years. They also led a campaign that raised $53 million, expanded the medical school’s class size from 100 students to 120 students per class and reorganized the medical faculty clinical practice plan from 17 individual practice groups to a single, unified one, facilitating more efficient management and improved patient care. Under his watch, the Medical Center’s research enterprise has been reinvigorated with completion of the Arthur C. Guyton Research Center, acquisition of funding for a research park and increased research funding. A native Mississippian, Jones graduated from Mississippi College in 1971, earned his M.D. in 1975 at UMMC and completed his residency in internal medicine there in 1978. He had a private practice in Laurel, then went to Korea as a medical missionary in 1985. He returned to the UM Medical Center as a faculty member in 1992 and was named the school’s Herbert G. Langford Professor of Medicine in 1998. He directed the
hypertension division and led many clinical studies funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of health. He played a crucial role in the acquisition of funding from NHLBI to create the Jackson Heart Study and was its first principal investigator. As the only large scale study of cardiovascular risk factors in African-Americans, Jones had to overcome the understandable reluctance of African Americans to participate in research and to build consensus among the three participating institutions - Jackson State University, Tougaloo College and UMMC. Neither had ever collaborated in such a massive undertaking. The chancellor began volunteering for the American Heart Association 20 years ago and became its national president in 2007-2008. He was one of the early voices in AHA leadership to call attention to the growing problem of childhood obesity and heart disease in women. He was AHA’s national spokesperson on high blood pressure. Jones is married to Lydia Channell Jones, also a Mississippi College graduate. They have two children, Jennifer Jones Flechas of Oxford and Jason Jones of Clinton.

ROSS BJORK | ATHLETICS DIRECTOR Ross Bjork was announced on March 21, 2012 as the seventh full-time Director of Athletics at Ole Miss. Bjork, 39, arrives in Oxford as the youngest AD among BCS schools and comes off a successful stint in that post at Western Kentucky University. Bjork has set the tone early in his Ole Miss tenure, hiring two of the country’s top rising coaches in their respective sports in Adrian Wiggins (women’s basketball) and Brian O’Neal (track and field) in just the first two months on the job. 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 UMAA Foundation, ticket operations, marketing and communications and the relationship with Ole Miss Sports Properties. He 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 will provide primary sports medicine care for all studentathletes. Bjork’s vision in facilities has resulted in a development plan for the Indoor Practice Facility. New projects will begin in the fall and include a full service dining facility, football team meeting room, player lounge and visuals throughout the complex. Bjork’s first full week at the post was spent on the Rebel Road Trip, a six-day, 16-stop tour of the region that served to unite the Rebel fanbase. He carried that momentum into the launch of a major sales campaign for football season tickets, which included television and radio advertising, billboards, internet marketing and a new outbound telemarketing call center.
At WKU, Bjork spent significant time with all head coaches to evaluate and understand the necessary ingredients it takes for each sport to reach their maximum potential athletically and academically. He oversaw an extensive search process that resulted in Matt Myers being named WKU’s new head baseball coach in July of 2011, and groundbreaking is anticipated in the summer of 2012 for major facility upgrades for WKU’s tennis and track and field programs. After Bjork made a midseason coaching change, the Hilltopper men’s basketball team went on to capture the 2012 Sun Belt Conference Tournament title and advanced 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 the 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 the 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. Operating at full speed immediately after being hired at WKU, Bjork immediately created full time coaching positions for both men’s and women’s golf, implemented a strategic budgeting process, started a master facility plan, restructured several key administrative units and created a new mission statement and core values to guide the athletics program. He also led the “Toppers on Tour” caravan each summer, in which coaches and administrators from the WKU athletic department visit six cities outside of the Bowling Green area in a 19-day span covering over 1,000 total miles. His
team also launched the Power of One membership campaign to accelerate growth for the Hilltopper Athletic Foundation and a new telemarketing program for ticket sales also saw immediate success in new customers for WKU Athletics. Bjork placed a high priority on academic success at WKU and led the creation of a comprehensive academic retention plan for the athletics department, which is geared to proactively impact all incoming student-athletes. 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. The youngest athletics director of the 120 NCAA FBS programs when hired at WKU, 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 has also served as Campus Recreation Graduate Assistant and Athletic Department Volunteer at Western Illinois University, Marketing Intern for the University of Tulsa, Front Office Intern for the Albuquerque Dukes and Student Volunteer for Athletics at Emporia State University. 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 is respected nationally by his peers and is Past-President of the National Association of Athletic Development Directors (NAADD). He and his wife, Sonya, have two boys: Payton (6) and Paxton (1).

MEDIA INFORMATION
REBELS ON TELEVISION Ole Miss was one of the first football programs in the Southeastern Conference, as well as the nation, to have a game broadcast on television. On Nov. 13, 1948, WMCT-TV in Memphis, Tenn., telecast the Ole Miss-Tennessee game from Crump Stadium in the “Bluff City.” The game, won by the Rebels, was reported to be the first football game televised from the Mid-South. The Rebels’ first network televised football game was in the 1952 season when they faced Georgia Tech in the 1953 Sugar Bowl on ABC-TV. Since then, Ole Miss has appeared on 205 regional and national telecasts, and on every major sports network, including ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, FOX Sports Net and CSS. The 2009 season began the first of a 15-year television agreement between ESPN and the Southeastern Conference. All conference games and non-conference home games are guaranteed to be televised on either CBS or the ESPN family of networks. The milestone 15-year agreement continues through 2023-24. The landmark deal results in ESPN entities carrying more than 5,500 SEC events - including the rights to every SEC home football game (excluding those on the
network broadcast package). Seven of the Rebels’ 12 televised games in 2011 were seen by a national audience. The Rebels appeared on ESPN and ESPN2 twice, including against defending national champion, Alabama. Ole Miss also appeared on ESPNU three times The Rebels’ history on television has been a storied one. The memorable 1969 Ole Miss-Alabama game, which had national recordsetting performances by Rebel quarterback Archie Manning and Tide signal caller Scott Hunter, was the first college game televised at Ole Miss won back-to-back AT&T Cotton Bowls (televised by FOX) in 2009 and 2010. night.
