Ole Miss football has been hanging onto its playoff hopes for dear life over the last few weeks, and it gets a massive chance to thrust itself right back into the postseason conversation on Saturday. Lane Kiffin and the Rebels host No. 3 Georgia with a chance to pick up a marquee win and get […]

The old saying goes that weather is the great equalizer, but Saturday afternoon’s matchup between the Georgia Bulldogs and Ole Miss Rebels already feels pretty even. The 2nd-ranked Bulldogs are a 2.5-point favorite in Oxford, but a recent struggle against the Florida Gators has led some prognosticators to believe that the desperate Rebels could have […]

This past Saturday against the Arkansas Razorbacks, Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart became the second quarterback in SEC history to throw for 500 yards and six touchdowns in a game, joining Missouri’s Drew Lock in that exclusive category. This performance raised two very important questions: If Ole Miss wins out, would Jaxson Dart — #1 […]

Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin thinks his team is just a hair away from perfection. Kiffin says just a few plays separate his Rebels from being a top-3 ranked team. “Hey, stop making the mistakes so you can show the country you’re one of the best teams in the country, because you really are […]

The 19th-ranked Ole Miss Rebels have already dropped two games in SEC play, but with four games left on the schedule, including a home matchup with the Georgia Bulldogs next Saturday, there’s reason to believe that Lane Kiffin’s squad can claw their way back into the College Football Playoff picture. But the Rebels can’t afford a […]

Ole Miss football head coach Lane Kiffin has seemingly called out Oregon’s Dan Lanning, after the controversial 12-men-on-field debacle that led to the Ducks’ Week 7 win over Ohio State.

When the college football season started, fans had their eyes on week seven because of the loaded slate.

Lane Kiffin’s controversial Ole Miss football program cannot cry foul after losing an overtime thriller to Brian Kelly’s LSU Tigers. The Ole Miss Rebels were in control for most of the night.

Ole Miss football has been criticized this season for using fake injuries to stop the clock, gain extra time or create artificial rest periods. In response to these allegations, the program released a statement stating they would communicate with officials to ensure they are playing by the rules, per their statement via On3 Sports. “Feigned […]

Even with the expanded College Football Playoff format, there is probably not enough room for both No. 9 Ole Miss and No. 13 LSU.

The Ole Miss Rebels suffered their first loss of the season last Saturday at the hands of a plucky Kentucky Wildcats team that was up for the task of stunning a top ten opponent on the road. Now ranked outside of the top ten, Ole Miss is required to go on the road and get […]

While people discussed if Ole Miss football head coach Lane Kiffin threw shade at Hugh Freeze last week, there is no doubt he showed respect to Kentucky football head coach Bob Stoops after they pulled off the upset Saturday, 20-17.

Auburn football head coach Hugh Freeze criticized his quarterbacks a little bit last week after a rough outing against Arkansas.

Lane Kiffin is coaching exactly where he is supposed to be. At least that’s what Rece Davis believes. Kiffin has been the head coach of Ole Miss football since 2020, and has led them to a 37-15 record in that span. But there is some recent speculation that suggests he could be in line to […]

Wake Forest had no answers for Lane Kiffin and No. 5 Ole Miss on Saturday night. Lane Kiffin and the Rebels rolled into Winston-Salem and destroyed Wake Forest 40-6, and the Demon Deacons had had enough afterward.

The Florida football team lost their second game of the season on Saturday, falling to 1-2 on the campaign.
