The Ole Miss Rebels had some costly penalties on Saturday night, but the result of their game was never really in doubt.
The Rebels struck first on a 25-yard score from running back Henry Parrish Jr., part of a five-play drive that lasted less than two minutes to open the game. That was part of a two touchdown night for Parrish who finished the game with 148 yards on the ground.
Quarterback Jaxson Dart also had a strong night despite throwing his first interception of the year in the third quarter. He was responsible for two passing scores and a rushing touchdown in the third quarter. Dart finished the night with 377 yards through the air. Wide receiver Juice Wells was responsible for hauling in Dart's other touchdown pass of the night, aOne of the biggest stories of the night was Ole Miss' sloppy play, especially in the penalty department. Despite giving up some free yards to the Demon Deacons, the Rebels' red zone defense was able to hold firm and keep Wake Forest out of the end zone on Saturday.
As a defense, the Rebels allowed 311 total yards in the win. They also forced two turnovers late in the second half. Ole Miss will now turn the page to its final non-conference game of the year next week when it plays host to the Georgia Southern Eagles. Kickoff in that game is set for 6:45 p.m. CT, and the game will be televised on SEC Network.John Macon Gillespie is the publisher of The Grove Report and has experience on the Ole Miss beat spanning five years.
