The Ole Miss Rebels preapres for their second consecutive home game this Saturday against the Citadel Bulldogs.
This one against the 5-6 Bulldogs marks the Rebels third-last game of the regular season, before they most likely proceed to the 12-team College Football Playoff.
Ole Miss's offense or defense won't have much problem in holding off Citadel in the afternoon kickoff. However, it is a win that Kiffin's squad needs under their belt to keep their playoff chances safe.

Series history
This season brought Ole Miss a lot of schools with whom they share very limited history.
Citadel is one of them as their matchup on Saturday will be just the second-ever game between them.
The last time they faced each other was in 2005 at Vaught-Hemingway, which turned out to be a home win for the Rebels.
Their upcoming game this Saturday will be nostalgic, with the same location, just exactly 20 years apart.
