History Potentially Awaits Rebels Following Win Over ULM
The Rebels have a chance to make program history this week with their second ever 10-win regular season, should they win the annual Egg Bowl on Thanksgiving night. A win there would set up the opportunity for the first ever 11-win season in school history with a victory in a bowl game.
Ole Miss is still gunning for a New Year's Six bowl berth, but it will likely have to contend with the Missouri Tigers out of the SEC in that department. Kickoff between Ole Miss and Mississippi State on Thursday is set for 6:30 p.m. CT, and the game will be televised on ESPN.
