Luke Altmyer helps secure a victory for the Red team in the Grove Bowl

The Red team defeated the Navy team 48-36 in Ole Miss’s annual Grove Bowl on Saturday. .

Leading the way for the Red team was sophomore quarterback Luke Altmyer. Altmyer played a good game, throwing for 182 yards and no interceptions. He also rushed for 77 yards on five attempts and ran in for two touchdowns.

Although he did have great numbers on the ground, Altmyer didn’t look very sharp through the air, posting just a 41% completion percentage. But, he did show flashes of how accurate he can be when he threw a strike to junior running back Ulysses Bentley IV for a 42 yard gain in the first quarter.
