The Ole Miss Rebels are set to open their 2024 college football season on Saturday against the FCS Furman Paladins at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi.

Ole Miss is coming off its first 11-win season in program history, complete with a victory in the Peach Bowl over Penn State in 2023. The Rebels now have their sights set on a College Football Playoff berth after returning a good deal of talent from last year's team and adding some difference makers in the transfer portal.

Furman enters as a decent team in its own right for the FCS level. The Paladins have made the FCS playoffs in back-to-back seasons, seeing their campaign come to a close in overtime of the quarterfinal round against Montana.

The Rebels appear to be the better team on paper entering this game, and they will look to start their season 1-0. Here's how you can watch and listen to the action on Saturday as well as betting odds for the contest.
