OXFORD, Miss. -- The No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels look to keep their long home winning streak alive on Saturday when they play host to the Auburn Tigers at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

Dating back to the 2020 season, Ole Miss has won 13-straight home games, including a perfect 7-0 mark during the 2021 campaign. The Rebels rallied from an early deficit last week in Nashville, knocking off the Vanderbilt Commodores 52-28 behind a record-setting performance from wide receiver Jonathan Mingo.

Following this home date with the Tigers, Ole Miss will hit the road to Baton Rouge to face the other SEC West Tigers in LSU.
