The Volunteers gave Ole Miss a reason to feel uneasy for most of the game, but four Tennessee turnovers ultimately doomed the Vols, as the Rebels scored the final 34 points to pull away from a potential upset.
Turning Point: Ole Miss extended their 11 point lead with a short field goal late in the third quarter. Tennessee fumbled on the ensuing kickoff, setting up the Rebels for a 28 yard touchdown on the very next play.
That extended the Ole Miss lead from 14-3 to 24-3 in a matter of seconds and giving the Rebels some breathing room in the eventual victory.
Key Stat: The Volunteers rushed for zero total yards on 28 team rushing attempts.
Ole Miss MVP: Bo Wallace - 13/28, 199 yards and two touchdowns.
It wasn't Wallace's best game, as he completed just 13 passes, but he did enough to lead the Rebels offense to a win, taking advantage of good field position to put points on the board when needed.
Tennessee MVP: The Vols somehow hung around until late in the third quarter, despite doing almost nothing offensively.
There wasn't a standout player, as Tennessee gained just 191 yards of offense and three points
