On a day when much of the college football world focused in on Oxford, Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin’s offense sputtered at times, and the Rebel defense shone brightest in a 29-19 win over Texas A&M.
AJ Finley intercepted a Zach Calzada pass and took it 52 yards to the end zone to put Ole Miss (8-2, 4-2 SEC) up 29-13 with only four minutes left in the game to seal the win. This was the second time the defense put points on the board, with a safety coming in the second quarter as the Rebel defense engulfed the Aggie rush attack.
