Jaxson Dart had a remarkable performance in Mississippi’s victory over Middle Tennessee State, setting SEC and school records by completing his first 24 passes. Dart ended the game 25 of 27 for 377 yards, with the streak only interrupted by a missed connection with Tre Harris. Dart’s achievement surpassed the SEC record of 23 straight completions to start a game. The Rebels dominated the game, not allowing a single touchdown and securing a 52-3 win.

Despite facing a hard hit in the second quarter, Dart continued to shine with impressive throws and a 3-yard touchdown run. Henry Parrish Jr. also stood out, achieving career highs with 165 rushing yards and four touchdowns, averaging 11.8 yards per carry. Ole Miss, which had a strong victory over Furman in the previous week, demonstrated their dominance once again.

Parrish’s exceptional performance was a significant improvement from the previous game, where he only had 40 yards rushing. The Rebels, led by coach Lane Kiffin, displayed a more efficient and effective offensive strategy this time around. The team’s success also came with a standout performance from Zeke Rankin, who scored a field goal for Middle Tennessee.

Ole Miss will likely see a rise in the rankings following their impressive win, especially after No. 5 Notre Dame’s unexpected loss. Looking ahead, Middle Tennessee will face Western Kentucky, while Mississippi is set to play against Wake Forest. In the game, prized Ole Miss defensive line transfer Walter Nolen left with a minor foot or ankle injury, but it did not seem serious.
