Kewan Lacy out for Auburn game with dislocated shoulder
Ole Miss junior running back Kewan Lacy suffers a dislocated shoulder in the Texas game and will miss the upcoming matchup against Auburn, coach Pete Golding said. Lacy, who has logged 388 rushing yards and five touchdowns this season after a 1,500-yard campaign last year, may face a longer recovery pending MRI results. With Lacy sidelined, backs Makhi Frazier, JT Lindsey and Shekai Mills‑Knight are expected to share carries this weekend. The injury adds uncertainty to Ole Miss' College Football Playoff hopes, as the team already has experience playing without their star RB.
Vegas gives Ole Miss double digit spread against visiting Auburn
Vegas opens Ole Miss as a 13.5-point favorite over Auburn for Saturday's SEC showdown at Vaught Hemingway Stadium. The Rebels (5-2, 3-2 SEC) rebound from a 34-27 loss to Texas, while Auburn (4-3, 2-3 SEC) looks to recover after a 38-17 defeat by LSU following their upset of No. 1 Georgia. The line shifts to -12.5 after early betting. Ole Miss needs a win to stay CFP‑relevant, though historically Auburn leads the series 35-12. Kickoff is 11:45 a.m. on SEC Network.
Slow start dooms Ole Miss at Texas, 34-27
Texas survives a late Ole Miss rally to win 34‑27 in Austin on Oct. 24, 2026. The Longhorns build a 24‑3 halftime lead before the Rebels score 21 straight points to tie in the fourth quarter, but Raleek Brown’s 157‑yard rushing performance seals the victory. Both QBs—Trinidad Chambliss (Texas) and Arch Manning (Ole Miss)—throw five interceptions, and Ole Miss’s offense sputters without a running threat as Kewan Lacy exits with a shoulder injury. The loss drops Ole Miss to 5‑2 (3‑2 SEC) and dents Chambliss’s Heisman hopes ahead of Saturday’s matchup with Auburn.
Ole Miss – Texas OPEN Thread
Ole Miss travels to Austin on Oct. 24 for a top‑25 showdown with Texas that could reshape the College Football Playoff picture. Coach Pete Golding seeks to erase his lone early‑career SEC loss, while the Rebels’ defense aims to build on recent improvements against Vanderbilt and Missouri. Arch Manning returns to his family’s alma mater amid questions about his starting status, and backup quarterback Kewan Lacy, cleared from a shoulder injury, hopes to spark a Heisman‑type performance. On the other side, Texas quarterback Trinidad Chambliss carries lofty expectations, and Steve Sarkisian’s job hangs in the balance if the Longhorns falter at home.
How to watch No. 7 Ole Miss at No. 19 Texas: Kickoff time, TV schedule and streaming options
Ole Miss visits Texas on Saturday, Oct 24 at 6:30 p.m. CT in Austin’s Darrell K Royal‑Texas Memorial Stadium. The Rebels, a three‑point underdog, aim to avenge their 44‑23 win in 2013 as they face Arch Manning’s Longhorns, who are sliding after losses to Oklahoma and Florida. Key factors: home‑field advantage for Texas, the possible absence of pass‑rusher Colin Simmons, and Ole Miss’s recent bounce‑back with wins over Vanderbilt and Missouri. The game airs on ABC and streams via the ESPN app, giving fans multiple ways to watch the high‑stakes SEC clash.
Serving up numbers for the Texas game
The Red Cup Rebellion preview breaks down the Ole Miss Rebels vs. Texas matchup using TeamRankings and Parker Fleming's five‑factor analysis. Ole Miss boasts a top‑10 offense in points per play (0.543) and ranks 20th in yards per play (6.4), while Texas sits near the bottom of those metrics. Defensively, Texas is 2nd in yards per play allowed (4.0) but may be overstated after facing weaker offenses, and will miss edge rusher Colin Simmons. Ole Miss holds a 7th‑overall success‑rate versus Texas’s 11th, and leads in both rush and pass efficiency. The preview suggests Ole Miss holds a slight edge, especially if Texas’s quarterback Arch Manning struggles.
Ole Miss vs Texas: A CFB27 simulation
In a CFB27 simulation, Ole Miss' perfect virtual season meets its first test against a two‑loss Texas squad. Trinidad Chambliss sparks the Rebels with a 69‑yard run and a 19‑yard touchdown pass, while Arch Manning adds a 65‑yard scramble and another score, giving Ole Miss a 24‑14 halftime lead. Texas rallies in the second half, narrowing the gap to 30‑24 before a safety and a 43‑yard run by Hollywood Smothers. The Longhorns pull ahead late, capitalizing on a Chambliss interception to win 43‑31, marking Ole Miss' first virtual loss. Chambliss finishes with 299 passing yards, 100 rushing yards, and two TDs; Manning totals 383 yards and three scores.
The Season: No context
It’s once again time for the fall’s biggest hit blog post — a no-context recap of The Season. This week, we’re letting you decide what’s going on in the Missouri episode.
Pete Golding talks Texas, bad luck and the elite Arch Manning
Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding calls Texas “elite” but plagued by “bad luck” ahead of their top‑25 clash at Darrell K Royal‑Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 17. He highlights Texas’ marquee win over Ohio State, former No. 1 pedigree and Arch Manning’s elite quarterback play under Steve Sarkisian, while noting the Longhorns’ recent drops. Golding plans to force early passing downs and exploit play‑action after Texas likely leans on its run game. Injury updates include Kewan Lacy’s shoulder and the rotation of Makhi Frazier and JT Lindsey. The game tips off 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC.
Rebels in the Pros: NFL Week 6
Week 6 of the NFL highlighted the return of former Rebel AJ Brown, who logged 10 targets for the New England Patriots but managed just three catches for 27 yards. DK Metcalf led the league with 15 targets, pulling in 11 for 93 yards. Other notable performances included Tavius Robinson’s three tackles and a half‑sack against the Browns, DJ Jones’s three tackles (one for loss) and QB hit, and Elijah Moore’s first reception of the season for the Eagles. The piece also notes contributions from JJ Pegues, Princely Umanmielen, Deane Leonard, and others across the league.
4-2-5 Report: Ole Miss manhandles Missouri 31-3
Ole Miss crushed Missouri 31-3 on Oct. 17 at Vaught‑Hemingway Stadium, recording its second-ever win over the Tigers. Freshman RB Kewan Lacy spearheaded the offense with 122 yards on 16 carries and a spectacular leap over cornerback Chris Graves Jr., while teammate Makhi Frazier added 101 rushing yards. Quarterback Caleb Cunningham threw his first career TD and moved into eighth on Ole Miss’s all‑time passing list. Defensively, the Rebels limited Missouri’s top rusher Jamal Roberts to 39 yards, forced two sacks, and rookie LB Landon Barnes notched his first interception. The victory extends Ole Miss’s Power 4 home winning streak to 15 games and marks only the second time in a decade the SEC team holds an opponent to three points.
Four star tight end commits to Ole Miss after Mizzou win
Four‑star tight end Rahzario Edwards (6‑6, 210 lb) flips his commitment from Cal to Ole Miss after the Rebels' 31‑3 win over Missouri. The Sacramento native, ranked No. 25 overall and No. 14 tight end in the 2027 class by On3, becomes Ole Miss' 23rd 2027 commit, boosting the Rebels to No. 13 nationally and seventh in the SEC in the latest recruiting rankings. Edwards chose Ole Miss over offers from USC, Oregon, Syracuse and Cal, citing influence from coaches Cody Woodiel and Donte Moncrief.
Ole Miss moves up in latest AP Top 25 with blowout win
Ole Miss rockets to No. 7 in the AP Top 25 after a 31‑3 blowout of Missouri, climbing two spots to become the SEC’s second‑highest ranked team behind Georgia. The Rebels sit at 5‑1 (3‑1 SEC) while the poll sees Miami debut at No. 1 and BYU at No. 2 after a weekend of upsets. Ole Miss now faces No. 19 Texas on the road and a home clash with No. 5 Georgia, as the SEC chaos could reshape the CFP race.
Ole Miss opens as underdog against Texas
Vegas oddsmakers are giving Texas a slight nod with the Ole Miss Rebels traveling to Austin on Saturday. Odds opened with a three point spread in favor of the Longhorns (4-2, 1-2 SEC) who are coming off a loss to Florida in week seven. The Rebels (5-1, 3-1 SEC) also lost to Florida roughly a […]
Ole Miss steamrolls Missouri to extend home win streak
For the second week in a row, Ole Miss blew out an SEC opponent now resoundingly answering its one loss of the season as it beat Missouri 31-3. Ole Miss (5-1, 3-1 SEC) allowed a first quarter field goal on the Tigers (5-2, 2-2 SEC) first drive of the season and then the Rebels defense […]
Ole Miss – Missouri OPEN thread
Today’s game is very likely a playoff elimination game for one of these teams and that needs to sink in for all the fans out there watching. Coming out of week seven with two losses gives you only one option if you want to make the top 12 come December, and that one option is […]
Ole Miss vs Missouri: A CFB27 Simulation
Heading into this digital match up, Ole Miss is 5-0 and #2 in the country while Missouri is unranked with a 4-2 roster. They also obviously have Ahmad Hardy as the starting running back, but Roberts has been so good, we can accept the performance by Hardy as a reasonable result regardless. Let’s see how […]
How to watch No. 9 Ole Miss vs No. 13 Missouri: Kickoff time, TV schedule and streaming options
It’s homecoming in Oxford and what perfect timing as Ole Miss plays host to former Rebels Austin Simmons, Cayden Lee and Chris Graves Jr. This will also be Kewan Lacy’s first game against his former school. This will be the ninth meeting ever between these two schools and Ole Miss has only one win, all […]
Buffet of numbers for the Missouri game
What better way to run out the clock on Friday than gorging on delicious numbers while we wait for Ole Miss and Missouri to step into the figurative squared circle. Ideally, these numbers will help us see the advantages, disadvantages, and boring pushes for both teams. And, given the relatively small sample sizes, maybe we’ll […]
The Season: No context
We’re back with another no-context recap of The Season from Ole Miss’ jaunt to Nashville, but we leave it to you to interpret what’s going on.
The Midweek Roundabout: The reunion tour
Since roundabouts in Mississippi have become heavily associated with Oxford, I figured we could have a weekly roundabout here. On our first exit we will look around the SEC. If we keep going straight we will look at the upcoming Rebel games across all sports. The third turn will look at some of the Rebel […]
Rebels in the Pros: NFL Week 5
All in all it was a pretty quiet week for our former Rebs. Injuries have run their course as the injured list continues to grow. Dawson Knox had an opportunity for a touchdown in the first half Monday night, but it was deflected and he was unable to adjust and make the catch. Such was […]
4-2-5 Report: Ole Miss wins sixth straight against Vanderbilt
The CBFB27 was spot on in some areas this week. Opening three and outs and an Antonio Kite interception, but the rest was a tad bit off. The Florida and Vanderbilt games have shown a glaring weakness for the coaching staff. The opening script for both games led to three and outs. In the Florida […]
Ole Miss demolishes Vanderbilt, 52-17
If anyone wondered how Pete Golding and No. 9 Ole Miss (4-1, 2-1 SEC) would respond from its loss to Florida, the answer was a resounding beat down of Vanderbilt in Nashville on Saturday, 52-17. This game had everything. A big man touchdown, a defensive touchdown, a Heisman contender showing off his skills, and fans […]
Ole Miss – Vanderbilt OPEN Thread
The Rebels may be a favorite today in Nashville, but I am not sure I know many Ole Miss fans who are comfortable going into this game with Vanderbilt. First and foremost, this game has a lot of heartburn from past seasons. It’s a game that is traditionally closer than expected, and there’s been some […]
