After a record-breaking homecoming weekend for Ole Miss football there are Rebels at the top among the SEC statistical leaders.

Ole Miss football is coming off a huge homecoming win over the ULM Warhawks. The Rebels put up 826 yards of total offense which allowed several Rebels to pad their stats. With the record-breaking offensive performances there are still Rebels who are either leading or have seen their SEC stat stock rise from Saturday.

Heading into the 70-21 win over ULM there were four Rebels who were within the SEC leaders for passing, rushing and receiving. Rebels quarterback senior Jordan Ta’amu was last weeks leader for passing while JUCO transfer RB Scottie Phillips was sitting at No.3 for rushing. Naturally the NWO was well represented with All-American AJ Brown sitting at No.2 and junior DK Metcalf sitting at No.4 in receiving.
