This last Saturday’s matchup pitted the Rebels against the Vanderbilt Commodores, a long-standing quasi-rivalry that has always been an interesting watch.
This weekend was no different. The Rebels came into this one at 5-0 and ranked in the top 10, whileVanderbilt came in with a 3-2 record.
The game started as everyone would’ve thought, with an Ole Miss score. However, instead of the potent Rebel offense finding the end zone, they had to settle for just three points via the leg of Jonathan Cruz. While it was a good opening series for the Rebel offense, a holding penalty was costly on the final sequence of plays that led head coach Lane Kiffin opting for just three points.
