Ole Miss vs Middle Tennessee: How to watch, odds, injuries, weather, and series history

Ole Miss will play its second consecutive game on home soil as it welcomes Middle Tennessee to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium for its Week 2 battle. Both teams are 1-0 after their Week 1 wins, with the Rebels looking to stay unbeaten against a well-organized Group of 5 program.

The Blue Raiders are led by former Vanderbilt head coach Derek Mason, who took charge of his first game in Week 1, a 32-25 point win over Tennessee Tech. Leading 21-5 at the half, they scored a go-ahead touchdown with 16 seconds of the game remaining after a spirited Golden Eagles fightback.

Mason spoke at his press conference about his team's difficulties when playing an offensive powerhouse and talented play-caller in Lane Kiffin. He also praised quarterback Jaxson Dart and defensive tackle JJ Pegues, whom he coached in 2021 as Auburn's defensive coordinator. Kiffin quickly praised Middle Tennesse, calling them well organized, and said his team needs to be prepared.
