LIVE In-Game Blog: Ole Miss Football Hosts Middle Tennessee

The No. 6 Ole Miss Rebels are looking to remain perfect on the young season as they play host to the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders on Saturday afternoon at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

Ole Miss is fresh off a 76-0 thrashing of the FCS Furman Paladins last week, and Middle Tennessee also took down an FCS foe, albeit less-convincingly. MTSU defeated Tennessee Tech last week 32-25, and the Blue Raiders were outgained in total offense in the process.

Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin stated on Thursday that wide receiver Jordan Watkins could “potentially” play on Saturday after missing last week’s game with a hamstring injury. We will keep you updated on Watkins’ status below.
