this offense a luxury pressure coming Dart hit as he threw it to the end zone just out of the hands they went the sophomore Aiden Williams into the game for Harris they go with the running game Bentley trying to push that [Music] pile told us yesterday they wanted to get better and part of that is getting 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 this Lane ke they'll run that ball in the zone up the middle there we go now we're hitting this side pre scorn his second grab of this opening quarter goes for truly an Old Miss rebel at this point and looking for a big year uhoh deflected to the line should have been intercepted de third and four Parish wrestled down short of the line what do you do here rocking go for it go for it here all that money you got in that offensive line run behind it but let's go and it's Pages who gets the snap rumbling forward JJ Pages the defensive tackle play right there and do it again Pig nimble makes a cut Dives did he break the plane yes JJ Pi I figured you know Rocky you're a former NFL guy you'd like the fridge

defense well transfer Prince Lei Allen from Florida with his ears pinned back on third and six the play clock expires delay of game delay of game on the offense 5yd pen third down there speed rush coming designed scen there no room to run the hard hit there's a flag down to the back field on this punt ID Williams didn't get a good piece of it there's actually two flags down one to the 5 ydd line one at the 50 steps up makes another strong throw right on the money to Trey Harris spinning his way through tacklers hey we'll just take that five8 10 yard pass underneath you Dart takes the pitch keeps it himself and goes down easily play clock under 10 Dart in audible at the line batted ball again Harris did well just to knock it down two for three on third down tonight Dart trying to pick this one up had a man and just missed him Micah Davis on a Crossing route no Miss will have to settle in this Stadium the wow you preseason number six so when you take a look at all those preseason Mo for the rebels defense they bring pressure here they sent five Jones steps up throws miscommunication and a turnover weapon Dart in trouble down he goes flag comes out first sack of the game for fer out there come on [Music] Dart bubble screen this is Trey Harris wow tripped up off these wide receivers you see the respect they have for their speed was changing the play around Jackson Dart in full command Dart makes a man miss that loses his footing he been trophy conversation as well nationally so far you have seen why play action checks it down on second and 13 Paris Jr Falls forward to the 15 decisions make great quarterbacks oh miss is played with great Tempo on a third and one right up the middle Paris Jr he's looked good in his old mistake Paris doing a lot of the damage they go right back to him well read by the Ferman defense and I think some of this Jay is is is practice well put together Gods on that Line DART rolls right flips It Wide Open for an easy touchdown that's right how can I [Applause] forget from Nick Sabin our new colleague you should see why you such a great head coach with that breakdown Rocky cuz that's exactly what we were saying coming into this game that's what really pops 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 really number one that's a false start and you can see the stress that puts on offensive line play offense number 65 that's a 5y the talent and experience they have brought into Oxford to bolster this roster ahead of a team they think can contend for an secc and National Championship third and 17 best throw of the here Klay Hendricks the head coach is letting him going manto man across the board here might just try and draw him off on a fourth and one their players especially on offense [Applause] Ferman electing to punt it away after they showed before the timeout that they were a threat to go for it on fourth and one Mah Davis solid return of Nine the flag comes in after the punt return back Jackson Dart wearing that Green Dot and not only does OC see Charlie Weiss Jr get in there but the head coach Lane kein has the ability as well Rockets it downfield right on the money Trey Harris boy those J yet blae kin has has a button where he can talk to Jackson too so that's going to be something Lan kein talked about they got to iron out you don't want too many voices in the head of the quarterback right where he gets hesitant something that'll have to evolve during the season Dart pump fakes now airs it out to the tight end wide open inside the five touchdown old man [Applause] took advantage of it Jack sart up here he loves the fact that he can bring his son M to practice he says that's been awesome it's been a joy to have him around the program he also gave all of his uncles that's great offensive MVP in the bow game there's Kaden with the trophy do you have to pull up YouTube thank you my wife makes me Midway through the second quarter it has been all Old Miss wow another big tackle [Applause] every all right third and long here time to pin your ears back get your quarterback they send pressure Jones gets rid of it tiptoeing that sideline but short Kai Davis returnable punt here gets out of bounds just shy of the 40 Dart he's already thrown for three touchdowns and 299 yds steps up H corks another deep ball and it's caught Trey Harris what a connection those two have and it's another old miss the first [Applause] [Music] half you have so many great targets for Jackson Dart to throw at Trey Harris EC receivers a year ago that had 900 yards or more four of those six were NFL first round picks it's funny talking with Lane kein Old Miss passing touchdowns Jones almost picked off there but a tough night for the red shirt sophomore quarterback for best play of the day for Ferman they've been waiting for this especially in the running game Mayan Hicks gain of 20 opportunity to contribute here doesn't you know creates less animosity around that locker room Jones off his back foot misfires which is absolutely going to be necessary as this season goes on just don't showing manto man here this is something they feel they can play a lot more of this year because of the players they have wow red very [Applause] [Music] well guess the question becomes Rocky we're we're in the second quarter here but 45 nothing Davis turns the corner shows some speed gets all the way to the 40 how much more of Jackson Dart do you need to see in this game [Music] Dart keeps it again Dart dialing up another deep [Applause] shot third and one go right up the middle for the first down the new other new addition to college football the two-minute timeout coming up here one more play before that two-minute timeout bubble screen juice Wells Jr leaping over defenders and that'll take us to the twoin ton of fun was great meeting her that was awesome she's rooting on her Rebels a lot to shout about in this first half a 45 nothing lead and there's marann in her season used to stop by the tailgate after the game I love the fact she caught us Yankees too when he first walked up that was hilarious and she's going to be cheering for this touchdown it's Trey Harris again Maryanne loves it less crowded but she was still there every Saturday she's been here through thick and thin that is a true fan [Music] they in a season with more preseason height bigger expectations That Old Miss has had in a long long time they have delivered so far one half in the books 52 to nothing if you're tuning in and seeing the score popping in this a Ferman team that won back to back 10 win Seasons got in the only problem for Ferman Now That Old Miss is brought in the second string is these guys are fresh they're playing their first football the season they want to prove a point here that was a very impressive defensive drive by Old Miss flag comes [Applause] out third and eight been a tough night for Carson Jones ball is caught caught just shy of that first down marker Colton hint in the catch right I mean looks like there's a party going on there looks like there's a lot of great talent and they're working hard got a great team but they have a lot of fun who wouldn't want to come play for that I I I said to Lane is is the fun culture you've built here the reason you're getting all these transfers he goes no it's still 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 and years past you lose one game they'll have a chance to win a National Championship and look I mean toward the end of the year if they take 12 teams you're going to have 16 17 teams that are going to be in the mix and and Fifth and you watch people lose their minds when you know a big 12 team that's R ranked you know 10th or 11th winds up getting those what the four seed and getting a buy that's a part of it but but uh I I think it's a good thing you reward teams that win their their conferences yeah you could have a I'm there I'm there what a scene that would be in Oxford I joked with her and a bunch of old Miz fans I go man you haven't won an SEC Championship in 61 years if you do that or to and that is that is that is something else a lot of fun if you're a college football fan and you have not been to the Grove here at Old Miss put it on the bucket list if you if you took an official visit to Old Miss you might have never been this out that is a [Applause] fact and firm has gone to the and the old miss defense delivers again and I like the call there his first pass went for a touchdown making some AUD at the line get some live action in game one with the result comfortable for all Miss dropped ball there [Applause] [Music] incomplete Fraser bazin it's been a quiet night for the Old Miss punter when you take a look at his old Miss here and that would be a fun [Music] one they're just so deep they have no weaknesses Simmons the Lefty wow very accurate much like Jackson Dart accurate it's just amazing how these Simmons taking another shot to the end [Applause] zone good decision by Simmons to keep that ball would have been a tackle for loss turns into a gain of [Music] eight right up the middle rumbling shedding tacklers for another Old Miss touchdown it's Matt Jo sorry I like fun too but can't so I guess on the scale of Nick Sabin to Peete Carol that lane kein was talking about yesterday in terms of strict fun players keeps you going or else you burn out uh his team's having fun tonight no doubt about it a ton of smiles down on that Old Miss sideline and for good reason and I think you're seeing with the second string coming in and Performing just as well that's the quality depth whole team better a lot of this preseason hype was because they got that number one transfer portal class and Lane kein said look on paper it's great it's exactly there's always going to be questions and some anxiety until that happens but to your point Jay I think Lane K right now has got to look at on that field because a lot of the big contributions today have come from [Applause] fair catch called for it's still not just kind of hoping pray your guys stay healthy and get out of here okay you know now with nil being a part of the conversation how a head coach essentially becomes a GM right you got to make roster decisions and financial decisions that are that are part of that thing now and that all Simmons has had some bright spots pitch here and because Dart was so effective in the passing game we actually had for miss this year Henry Parish with a majority of the carries and snaps in this game but also of course you have Liss Bentley he's kind of the Home Run threat you have Rashad Amo during theme and plus the goal line pack into his JJ piges PES had a rushing touchdown earlier today Simmons flushed out going to tuck and run safely out of bounds see but now here's the problem Jay and I know this from experience you know to the yeah exactly yeah he's going keep trying to take it if you give pagis the football man we got to got to show that highlight again him scoring that touchdown jump cut switching the ball with he was carrying the in his hand and jump cutting fancy footwork in the hole four tackles a touchdown good day at the office Bentley just needed one and he got it [Applause] and I think gold Miss is committed to the run here up 66 nothing just keep his clock moving and again we have bouncing off a couple tacklers a lot of green grass Matt Jones into the end zone 46 the Old Miss sideline I love that mentality it's a winning mentality it is let's stay focused on the task in hand let's stay focused on getting better better before that's not nothing new but finding a way with both your first team and your second team to hold a shut out that's nice stuff very balanced as well you know you could say Dart obviously he put up the video game numbers with six touchdowns five passing one rushing 418 yds maybe that's the best performance on the monitor having a cold one at the [Applause] Grove how about this pledge class earning it right now any head coach you want both sides of the ball to to perform equally equally dominant in this [Applause] case I'm wonder if some of the Smoke by far the most talented team he's had in Oxford they have showed it tonight at one half Jackson Dart six touchdowns 418 yards that they shared and the impact he's had on Lane's life in this program you know mean a lot to him headed into this football season for sure I me you call it I mean quarterback I believe in high school you know getting getting offers and stuff sure it helps to have Dad as coach show him the ropes a little bit and his daughter's a sophomore here at Old [Music] Miss rad Amos into the game at running back transfer from Miami Ohio the other side of Simmons is probably saying coach hey I'm out here let me yeah let me throw this ball around a little bit work on my game and they are very high on Simmons they think he is a big big F was 20 years ago and you got to have the Reps 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 tonight princ Ley Mellen did Chris Paul's made a bunch of plays let's see Trey Amos I mean those guys they brought in really shown up tonight and we've kind of got a rivalry on the crew our director Tyler is an A&M guy and Rocky obviously played at Notre Dame well [Applause] I if they don't stub their toe they almost punch their ticket tonight as long as they take care of handle their business this was I think the toughest game on the schedule I agree especially week one and you know I think the other toughest game conference winners get one of those first four buys when you look at the 12 team playoff if I said oh over under three and a half SEC teams yeah yeah they got a good team they got a really good team I think LSU wants to say they're in the conversation about them [Applause] yeah but he's held held the irage to just 13 points it's not bad that game's airing on ABC the SEC on ABC four minutes left in it in the third quarter strength of the schedule when it gets to who's in who's out on the bubble they're going to look to that how did the conference do in head-to-head matchups and Notre Dame Texas A&M's a good example of it jump ball down the sideline knocked away incomplete [Music] I just think it shows the the dominance of Old Miss more so than it does the status of Ferman to a highly motivated Old Miss team with a ton of preseason hype and they have proved it today another big hit Trey head and the true freshman absorbed a bunch of big ones CHR super Elite guys but there's a lot there's talented skill players wide receivers there's those D Lyman they look like Walter Nolan that kind of tie those don't grow on trees there's very very few of them and they all seem to go to Georgia Ohio state that like punishment for the new recruits kind of thing they got to hold that that deal the whole game yeah almost like a a rookie hazing in the NFL correct yeah or I guess in college football it's that that freshman you know a lot of teams do that freshman talent show I know Old Miss does that yeah we we used to do that when I played in college but and I told you this yesterday when I play you didn't have to worry about somebody filming that and put it on social media there was there wasn't such a thing as a cell phone camera now you have to sing a goofy song or something it's plastered all over the internet [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] 722 total yards wow another big hole opens up Dominique Thomas with his first Carry Rocky so much attention on on the transfers maybe not enough respect given to the returning players that this Old Miss team brings back from last year's 11 win season that's true and they do bring back a lot of great ones I mean Trey Harris how about the night he had kind of overshadowed by because a lot of his production came early he looks even better than he did last year Kaden pre scoring of course well Trey Harris told me it was a hard decision at the end of last season on if he was going to come back to M miss or enter the draft but once he did make the decision to come back he wanted to remind himself that he owes himself a lot this year if you check out his Instagram you'll see his pinned post is a saying 2024 is very personal I owe myself a lot Trey says he feels there's a lot more he could have done last season so this is his year his year to do everything he said he could he is well on his way a terrific night tonight for Trey Harris two touchdowns 179 yards this is Walker Howard in at quarterback sophomore from LA at Louisiana
