The Heisman campaign for Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral might have been at a low volume through the first two weeks of the season, but on Saturday it was turned up to 11.
Corral put up video game numbers in the No. 17 Rebels 61-21 win over Tulane inside a rain-soaked Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Despite the near two-hour lightning delay, Corral nearly took down a record that has stood since 1951 and held by a man named Showboat Boykin.
Responsible for a career-high seven touchdowns, Corral finished with 403 total yards of offense. The touchdown total tied Boykin’s mark set against Mississippi State.
