In this story:

The No. 13 Ole Miss Rebels are set to host the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks on Saturday morning in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium for their final home game of the 2023-24 season. A win over ULM would give the Rebels an undefeated record at home this season, and a 21-2 overall record in their last 23 home games.

The last time Ole Miss and ULM met was in 2018 and the Rebels crushed the Warhawks 70-21 in Oxford. Quarterback Jordan Ta'amu led the Rebels in passing and freshman Matt Corral led Ole Miss on the ground with 78 rushing yards and one touchdown on just six carries. The Rebels set the school record for total offense with 826.

This should be a bounceback game for Ole Miss after the Rebels lost terribly to the Georgia Bulldogs a week ago. ULM has had a rough season, as the Warhawks have an overall record of 2-8 and are winless in the Sun Belt Conference. 

Ole Miss will be honoring its senior class on Saturday, recognizing linebacker Ashanti Cistrunk, who has played in 58 consecutive games, and offensive lineman Jeremy James, who has 46 starts under his belt.

The Rebels and Warhawks are scheduled to kick off at 11:00 a.m. CT, and the game will be televised on SEC Network.

Pregame

In honor of their military appreciation game, the Rebels will be donning their classic navy helmets, red jerseys, and gray pants, but the Ole Miss script has an American flag background.
