Vanderbilt Commodores vs. Ole Miss Rebels: How To Watch, Betting Odds
Rest in peace to the greatest forgotten rivalry in the Southeastern Conference.
Did anyone know the self-proclaimed "Khaki Bowl" was a rivalry to begin with?
The No. 12 Ole Miss Rebels return home following a touchdown win over Auburn to take on a floundering Vanderbilt Commodores roster coming off a bye week. On paper, the Rebels should win this game outright based on talent.
Better quarterback? Check.
A solidified run game? Check.
Face a defense allowing over 400 yards of offense and 36 points per game? Double-check that box.
But doesn't this also make it somewhat a "trap game" for the Rebs? Especially when looking at the schedule ahead? Ole Miss still must face a pesky Texas A&M defense that's kept most run games in check. Not to mention a road trip to Athens to take No. 1 Georgia still lingers in the rear-view mirror.
Ole Miss can't be complacent this week. A victory likely solidifies the Rebels status as the SEC's bronze-placed program, but it also bolsters its conference record in a race to represent the West in Atlanta come early December.
One slip-up and dreams of winning a conference title — let alone a national one — are put on blast. Games aren't won on paper, and Lane Kiffin knows a win in the SEC goes far, regardless of the competition.
