Ole Miss vs. Memphis: Game Grades, Analysis for the Rebels

Despite a strong start, No. 13 Ole Miss couldn't get anything going in Memphis, falling to the Tigers, 37-24.

Head coach Hugh Freeze will catch a ton of heat for this one, and rightfully so. His team took its foot off the gas pedal after going up 14-0, allowing Memphis to find its groove en route to a 31-0 run that blew the game wide open.

Chad Kelly's raw numbers (372 yards, two touchdowns) look fine, but this offense did little to help the banged-up defense in this one. The Rebels were one-dimensional and refused to get after a Memphis defense that played far above its head at home.
