The Ole Miss Rebels were set to face a vaunted Penn State defense in the Peach Bowl on Saturday, that ranked near the top of the country in almost every major category.

However, through the majority of the game, the Rebels have had their way with the Nittany Lions, jumping out to a 31-17 lead in the second half.

And midway through the fourth quarter, their offensive explosion put the final icing on the cake, with QB Jaxson Dart rushing in a two-yard touchdown, capping off a 10-play 65-yard drive to put the Rebels up 38-17. 

Suffice it to say, it has been Dart's day in Atlanta, with the junior QB completing 25 of 40 passes for 379 yards and three scores, rushing for the aforementioned touchdown, and even catching a pass for 15 yards in the first half. 

Dart has also completed six different receivers including 17 passes for a combined 270 yards and two scores to tight end Caden Prieskorn and wide receiver Tre Harris.
