Ole Miss fell to the South Carolina Gamecocks 44-48 on Saturday for the Rebels’ fourth conference loss this year, bringing the team to 5-4 on the season.
The 11 a.m. kickoff quickly gave way to an offensive showdown. These two struggling SEC teams put up 27 points apiece and a combined 749 yards of offense through the nearly two-hour-long first half. Toward the end of the second half, however, the offensive fireworks subdued and the tired-looking Rebels let the Gamecocks pull away in a fourth quarter that saw the Rebels put up a mere 18 yards of offense.
