Matt Corral, Dontario Drummond Lead Ole Miss to Dominant Win over Louisville

The Ole Miss Rebels started their 2021 season with a marquee nonconference win.

Ole Miss defeated the Louisville Cardinals 43-24 in Monday's clash at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta to improve to 1-0 on the campaign. Matt Corral, Snoop Conner and Dontario Drummond led the way for the Rebels, who were without Lane Kiffin after the head coach announced he tested positive for COVID-19.

The Cardinals were never in a realistic position to win and did not get off to an ideal start as they look to bounce back from a 4-7 season in 2020.

Ole Miss Flashes on Both Sides of the Ball

Monday's game was not without its problems, as numerous targeting reviews brought it to a crawl and Louisville looked like a team that is nowhere near ready to compete for a spot in the ACC title game out of the Atlantic Division.
