Ole Miss Football: Grading Out The Ole Miss/Kentucky Game

Ole Miss football found a huge come from behind 37-34 win over the Kentucky Wildcats this past Saturday in Lexington. It’s time for some grades!

Nothing makes things better for Ole Miss football fans like a huge win over an SEC opponent. Getting a road win over a stout Kentucky Wildcats team makes it even more special. The 3-5 Ole Miss Rebels were 3.5 point underdogs coming into the game. Kentucky was 6-2 and looking at a possible shot to contend with UGA for a trip to Atlanta.

Kentucky scored late leaving 2:14 on the clock which turned out to be a tad too much time for Jordan Ta’amu and the offense. With 5 seconds left in the game Ta’amu threw a perfect fade to DK Metcalf who made a tremendous catch. Ole Miss came home to Oxford with a huge win and spoiled the Wildcats championship dreams.

Naturally, if a win makes everything better, then it has to also help the grades when we evaluate the game. Let’s breakdown the game by the numbers and see where the grades fall.
