In their last outing, despite a valiant effort, Ole Miss fell short against the Texas A&M Aggies with a final score of 24-38. The statistics revealed areas for improvement; while they managed an average gain of 6.8 yards per play and accumulated a total of 440 yards, turnovers and penalties proved costly. Their punting game was strong with an average net yardage close to 47 yards per punt, but defensive pressure only resulted in one sack and one interception.


The previous home game saw them narrowly defeated by South Carolina Gamecocks with a scoreline of 44-48. However, there were positive takeaways from this high-scoring affair as they racked up an impressive total yardage of nearly 600 yards and converted five rushing touchdowns. Their red zone efficiency stood out with an almost perfect success rate.


Against Auburn Tigers earlier in the season, Ole Miss managed to put up only 16 points compared to Auburn's 31. Despite being effective in red zone attempts and maintaining possession for over half an hour, their inability to convert those opportunities into more points was evident.


Looking ahead to their encounter with Vanderbilt Commodores at FirstBank Stadium, it's clear that maximizing scoring opportunities while minimizing turnovers will be key for Ole Miss Rebels' success. Fans can expect another thrilling college football experience as both teams strive for victory under Nashville's bright lights.


The game is scheduled for November 18th at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville, TN; kickoff is set for half past midnight UK time (7:30 PM local time). Fans can catch all the action live on SEC Network (satellite channel number 611).
