The quarterback competition is still ongoing at Ole Miss, as both Luke Altmyer and Jaxson Dart looked good in Week 2. Altmyer was forced to leave the game early due to an upper-body injury, however, and could lose the competition to Dart if he is out for an extended period of time.

The Rebels have their first road trip of the season in Week 3 and will travel to Atlanta, Ga., to take on Georgia Tech Saturday, Sept. 17. Kickoff is slated for 2:30 p.m. CT, and the matchup will be televised on ABC.
