[Applause] in blue and white ready to receive and we are underway in Oxford a brand new season maybe the most expectations this program has ever had he it as the rebel starting quarterback gets a disciplined firm in defense so we're going to see three guys that hopefully combin together can make up the production of Judkins here's Dart clean pocket throws right on the money it's caught Kaden prescor the tight end left wide open here's Pinn back on a third and 15 Jones fires it's caught great execution for Ferman on a third and 15 great job by Jones and look at that route look like it was a two deep route covered two and he fit that ball you're going to compete against Georgia Alabama it's all comes down to those dudes in the trenches naan think they've really upgraded that quick hitter it's caught Colton Hinton with the grab and a gain of 10 picked up a third and 15 to keep this drive alive earlier here's pinned back design screen flipped to Grant Robinson who's wrestled out of bounds obviously so many expectations on these kids even more so with that number six next to all Miss but really makes a targeted effort to keep the joy in the building and they got plenty of Joy on the field kayen Lee a gain of 28 you got to have fun this game is tough It's hard you got to enjoy the little moments you got to enjoy the winds or El it'll just beat you down Walter Nolan number two in blue you cannot miss him is base all that basketball they're playing in the locker room and stuff it's it's all centered around competition and pushing each other each day it's helping this team quick hitter out to the flat it's Harris again enough for the first down that is get more manageable third down is a pretty good one here empty set quick hitter to Bentley has the first down spinning forward knocking on the door of the Red Zone again here we go and it's Pages who gets the snap rumbling forward JJ piges the defensive tackle you have to love it and do it again PES n makes a cut Di did he break the plane yes JJ piges All Smiles For Old Miss steps up makes another strong throw right on the money to Trey Harris spinning his way through tacklers Davis from 42 and he hits it that was the highest ranked team before this number six team that 1970 team that Archie Manning was the quarterback for so it's been a long long time since they had top 10 preseason rankings broken play Ferman almost fumbled it luckily out of bounds and and what it was was a wheel route and it looked like it was number yeah it was TJ doy just didn't catch up with his man there was changing the play around Jackson Dart in full command Dart makes a man miss that loses his footing I mean Pete pointed out you play a game at night game at Georgia night game at Alabama that's a different deal now right if you're not prepared for that you're not experienced for that it can eat you alive so the guys they brought in of a team they think can contend for an SEC and National Championship third and 17 best throw of the night wow put it right in there Ben Ferguson hauled it in for it that a Big Boy Throw right there by Jones had a lot of ump on it great catch got one foot down and not only does OC Charlie Weiss Jr get in there but the head coach Lane kein has the ability as well Dart Rockets it downfield right on the money Trey Harris boy those two have a great chemistry best play of the day for Ferman they've been waiting for this especially in the running game Mayan Hicks see the left side of your screen pull some lineman around hat on a hat Miss couldn't get off the [Applause] [Music] blocks guess the question becomes Rocky we we in the second quarter here but 45 nothing Davis turns the corner shows some speed gets all the way to the 40 all kinds of stuff like you got to know about me Jay what a first half for Old Miss oh a Ferman avoids disaster there actually turns into a gain of five that could restore this program to the top of the conference big hit Amos again pass coverage game but then a guy Al that also likes to come up make tackles fights through the block acts like it ain't even there great job Jackson Dart with the play action hitting Harris as he's done doing it for the first time this season Old Miss hopes they can be a playoff team and that is a huge hit blown up in the back field Chris Paul Jr laying some serious Lumber and Old Miss continues to dial up the pressure it's Chris Paul J Junior again play action going to let Simmons air it out on first down to the end zone it's caught first pass in an all Miss uniform picks out Kaden Lee for a Rebels touchdown we get Simmons coming in the game looks calm cool back there and just like Jackson Dart just putting a ball right on the money another score for Old Miss that opening game but look to me that's the beauty of the 12 team playoff it will allow a one or even a two maybe even a three lost team to still get into that thing forward he told us he will always be a part of this ferment program just a devastating [Music] story right up the middle rumbling shedding tacklers for another Old Miss touchdown it's Matt Jones the Mississippi native celebrating but uh I mean just a great job coming off the Zone read that they've ran so well with Simmons and heck that was all Matt Jones breaking tackles right up the middle bouncing off a couple tacklers a lot of green grass Matt Jones into the end zone 46 yd [Applause] touchdown in a game with 73 nice job by Jones he got stopped up in there and like any good back he just squirms finds his way to Daylight and then turns on the afterburners it's a good point because sometimes you'll see a quarterback have 12 good games in college and then he's a first round pick doesn't work out a lot Tre Lance right I mean fantastic had all the tools but didn't have enough game experience 722 total yards wow another big hole opens up Dominique Thomas with his first [Applause] Carry third and five they keep it on the ground but a first down Dominique [Applause] Thomas that's the thing you keep subing in these fresh players and they want to prove that they can play too more great blocking up front Jay I think you could have ran through that hole yeah maybe not but Dominique Thomas up see I I feel Curry sm's a kind of Coach he'll he'll try to find a way to make that game as hard as possible on his team so they have to dig deep a little bit and Y you know using it use that as a tool no the headset can come off Lane kein Victory number one in the books to start the 2024 [Music] campaign a good time staring down the CL some Hallelujah
