coming in here to take on the fifth ranked Old Miss rebeles a couple of 1 and0 programs VA Hemingway stadium is the site for today's matchup and a pleasant good afternoon everybody I'm Dave Neil this is former Georgia quarterback and SEC man first year we'll see what it looks like as we are now underway oh miss one the toss they elect to receive they want the football to start things off and they'll have good field position to start things off as that one goes out of bounds it'll be our first opportunity to see Jack legitimate Bonafide Heisman Contender if he continues to play that the way link if anticipates he will Henry Paris Jr with the started tail back today a senior out of GS Florida and he'll have the first Carry and he'll have [Applause] again keep it on the ground big hole for Parish he's to the 30 yd line before he is tripped up there Lane wants to run the Run pass option the toss sweep there's Paris turns the corner and just tripped up as he was crossing the 15 yd line by Harris those are singles up the star receiver Dart hits the tight end PRI cord and he is close to the line to gain he's down to the 5 yd line I think he needed to get to the four Jaylen Jackson on the coverage and it'll be fourth down and about a yard and there is a flag down that was a direct snap to Matt [Applause] Jones B start offense number nine never got set part of the snap by peny remains fourth down see ifis on to attempt a field goal from 33 yds out two of three in the opener against Ferman this from between the hash marks kick is on the way and obviously plenty of leg and he will split the upright so not a touchdown for the rebels kind of a they got to get it all the way out to the 35 pocket collapses Bato trying to run for his life and he'll get it back to the 18y line TJ doy able this week felt like they slung it around a bunch in that opening game and will throw it here pass is caught near side and there is Trey Harris the senior transfer from Louisiana Tech his second year now with the rebels had 54 count at 63 210 hand off big hole up the middle there's Parish breaks a tackle down to the 10 yd line a gain of 20 play you're forcing the defense to put someone in the Box on first down again it's Paris breaks a tackle touchdown Rebels 11 [Applause] yards I think they've done just that now they're forcing this Middle Tennessee State to make a decision right now going forward they got to put a safety in the box and see if there's a way too much respect for the receivers which I get that you go back and watch the tape from a week ago you do not want to give up the big play point after is up and good and just like that it's a 10 nothing lead for the rebels see think he can get downhill and move some bodies up front Bato goes under Center Carter goes in motion they'll go on the ground and nothing there credle met by JG JJ Pages they're going to bring Brendon Harris off the sides Jackson Dart sees it picks it up throws the easy completion here's Jones hit at to 50 but Falls forward for the first down into blue Raider territory Jaylen Davis will get credit for the tackle defense now you're going to get some one-on-one shots down the [Applause] field he'll play fake down the field it goes catch made by Trey Harris again that'll be another Rebel first down after an 18 they winning a championship on third down Dart throws priest corn with the catch inside the 15 down to the 13 yd line that'll be a rebel first down clock as Paris back in at running back [Applause] now here's Parish kicks it to the outside gets a block on the edge and will walk it in Jordan Watkins with a great block out on the edge [Applause] Diego pounds does a great job as well number 61 going to be coming from left to right leading the way look at the big man getting up field and then Watkins as well with a tremendous block on the outside that's how you get explosive runs D now about a 31 Yer J Davis hammers it through the uprights on third down and four fourman Rush come near side pass boy long throw that'll be good enough for the first down first time we've had a chance to really see vato let one rip that is one of the scariest throws you can make can certainly open your eyes up when you see it in person it's something else down there on the field watching these Rebels run around right now there's the Holden Willis reception that'll be another first down so there you Kelly comes in motion Wilkins your running back he'll stay into block over the middle passes right through the hands of Amari Kelly that would have been enough for the first down if he was able to hold on instead it's Fourth Down start this drive at the 22 yd line a play fake Dart as a man pass is caught there by Watkins they will spot him near Midfield right at the Midfield so second down coming up Matt Jones stays in the game at running back second 18 over the middle pass caught there Kaden Lee he's down to the 40 that'll be close to a first down I think they will give him the first down picked up Dart over the middle again Caden Lee he's inside the 15 another down and two here's Jones looking for a little hole he'll have enough for the first down inside the five down to the three so it'll be a first and goal for the rebels afternoon out of Jackson Mississippi here's Dart dancing around and finds enough room to get into the end zone touchdown Miss to the running back feels like he can throw it into the flat ends up not liking that either just couldn't find a lane to get around the blitzing defender on the outside and then just says you know what let me pull it down and run it that's when you have those run pass options options the offense line is still protecting as if it's a run play smart move by the quarterback going after up and good from Davis now third down at six over the middle pass is caught first out at Midfield Well Done by Cameron Lacy picks up 21 yards and that'll move the chains they're bringing more than four that's here pass is incomplete vato just running as fast as he can away from those red jerseys Dart will throw that one's caught by Harris on the outside he's stripped up at the 25 by the way is 19 of 19 Matt carral did that back in 2020 and his streak goes to 13 for 13 juice Wells his first catch today is a big one near Midfield how scary is that you line [Applause] up Dart throws to The Far Side pass is caught over there boy how about the Nifty running for Trey Harris not only has he got some little tap pass goes to juice Wells juice to the 10 to the five he's down to the two yd line where he's knocked down by Brendan Harris that's a gain of 14 Dart he'll be dropped back at the seven yd line James Gillespie getting in there C Five Points in their opener but just 67 yards on the ground Old Miss though changing that this afternoon here in the first half as parish is hit by Devin Curtis it'll be third and the ball down the field Paris touchdown Miss great block by dayquan Wright the tight end to open up that big hole for Henry Parish well this is that cross block that we show tight ends want to work to the flat as well during the RPO season the third touchdown of the day for Parish point after is up and good and the rebels will push their lead out to 31 to nothing with 307 this lead lined up as a linebacker stand up Old Miss bringing the house incomplete pass and a flag comes in Lan kein says that was against Middle Tennessee Chris Graves back there in coverage well done T well done third and 25 coming up for the blue Raiders they'll just sling it to the outside and they needed uh 25 they got 20 they go to Hay Sutton and it'll be fourth down and let's see if Derrick Mason wants to keep the offense out there minute 42 on the clock they're going to go ahead and play this one out three-man rush there's the pass it is caught by hay Sutton and this forward progress should have him to midfield for the first down so they convert on fourth down and four TJ doter with the tackle for the rebels and they're going to run a mesh concept [Applause] R AO dumps it off to his tailb Jaden credle and he'll get out of bounds that'll be good enough for the first down at the 37 A2 yd line again fourman Rush ready a over the middle this pass is caught inside the Red Zone inside the 10 yd line Holden Willis showing you why he's an allconference performer picks up 20 first down and goal from the 9 and a half Bato looking that one is tapped and it's caught but out of bounds by Kelly to show that left foot can't see stay in contact yeah you can't see the football hard to see there again ruling was he's out of bounds so if you don't have any definitive uh angles here and I haven't seen any definitive angles and it's just so hard we don't know where the ball is so it's it's hard to figure out miles Butler on the near side first second and goal from the nine will'll keep it on the ground and nowhere to run credle met as soon as he got have yet to give up a point here in 2024 Middle Tennessee knocking on the door third and goal to the end zone and that one is incomplete just off the fingertips of Holden [Applause] Willis on both those fronts as they try to convert here right before halftime put some points on the board clean snap nice hold and the kick is perfect right through the uprights for Zeke Ranken and Middle Tennessee put that's a good point I think coach kein knew that was in order as well Matt Jones with the carry and that will be the end of the half so Jackson dark will finish 15 of 15 for two 23 357 yds of offense and that will sail through the back of the end zone out to the 25 yd line third down ready AO has some run room to run he'll have the first down as he's knocked out of bounds around the 35 yd line Brandon Turnage the transfer from Tennessee in his first year in a rebel uniform pushes quick hand off there's Pooh Paul stepping into the hole that may be enough to move the change I think they're going to give him enough for the first down it's going to be feels like they got a lot of fight in them coming out here in the third quarter moving the chains holding Willis now into Old Miss territory he's to the 45 of the rebels inside the 45 actually put him at the 40 tail back behind his quarterback Vato it'll be Wilkins on the carry first down inside the 30 down to the 27 yd line where Pooh Paul makes the tackle along with JJ Pages that's a gain of nine Terry Wilkins not big Willis goes in motion looking that way pressure comes vato throws and it is caught around the 15 yard line by Miles [Applause] Butler that's a gain of 13 and another here over the tackle Rebels bringing some heat rato to the end zone and that one is picked off what a grab on the back end by John Saunders [Applause] jior goes up in the air and John Saunders goes up high points it gets the big interception for Old Miss [Applause] over the middle pass caught by the tied end Caden preskorn now we're on record watch right now 16 for 16 record for Miss 19 see from Jackson keeping his eyes up able to locate juice Wells hand it off big hole up the middle for Parish adding to his huge rush totals today down to the the 10 yd line a 42 yd pickup and now parish is slow getting up it's almost like that was a big emphasis for the team what do you want to see more of he didn't like how that first half ended he said it was kind of unusual for us oh thought he was going to keep going he said we got to clean up our pass defense and I thought the team would continue to get an earful on that until that at this juncture of the game Matt Jones stutter steps to the end zone touchdown rebeles [Applause] [Music] a 9yd touchdown from Matt Jones that was all set up by the long run from here's Kaden Davis point after is up and good is anybody going to do a a finger roll little layup come on no one's to do a layup look at this offens line working their combinations to the second level great pancake on the right side from Julius is number 52 the Right Guard and then Derek Mason steps [Applause] in Pato just dropped the ball trying to back out of there and lost the handle looks at this one and ball looks like the the snap was a little bit to the left he's trying to then take take it in in play action to the running back back at that point goal number one for a quarterback secure the snap catch it and if you have to abort the fake to the running [Music] back Dart to throw pass is caught to the end zone and that one is just shy of the end zone Caden slot for this offense Parish looking for his fourth touchdown of the day does he get in yes he does Henry Parish four rushing touchdowns this afternoon for the rebels conference South Carolina whooping up on [Music] Kentucky it's going to be it's of offense 278 through the

Terry Wilkins stays in the game at running back pass is caught there by Kellen Stewart makes a man miss he's pushed out of [Applause] bounds nice catch by Holden Willis that's another blue Raider first down they'll spot him at the 11 a nice catch but nice ball placement once again it's a vato throws it up and that one's incomplete there's a flag that comes in late trying to hit hold in Willis and I'll be honest it looked like some feet just got tangled up Trey pass interference Defense number nine the penalty is the ball replac the spot of the foul and includes first down FR here yeah Williams he's done this three or four times today gets the snap looking for a little bit of a hole to run through and nothing there a lot of red jerseys on [Applause] tape V A and nobody home he throws it away so now it'll be cheer in sight intentional grounding offense number 11 the ball be placed the spot of the foul with the loss of down third down wasn't Willis close enough territory take your check down or hey man let's make sure we get a field goal at least out of this this good drive vato steps up passes caught inside the 10 around the seven that's Willis again man he is something he has had a heck of worth and goal from the seven and it's going to be one of those two guys in the slot you got Kelly pressure comes over the middle looking for Kelly and he can't hang on it was batted in the air and it looked as though Kennedy had his arm around yards and he has the record 20 of 20 Trey Harris having a huge game he's caught nine of those completions from Dart what a [Applause] day can he keep it going yes this time it's juice Wells juice with his fourth catch [Music] [Applause] today Dart another completion Parish spins down to the 27 yd line Mar and Bailey four

consecutive completions and then another touchdown to juice well his new favorite Target seriously like made a bad throw and he's upset about that or is it the you think it's in his mind that he had a chance at the record I think it was in his mind that he had a chance at the record because I don't think the throw was bad I think both incompletions he had was just good defensive plays DB undercut the route to to Trey he knocked it down the inside fade points but you may even get more of those this season that you're even accustomed to here's gagiano jumps it off underneath big hit they give it to horsky it's what you love more man I I'll say this Dave like you've seen the commitment being around Jackson and he's how committed he is sure he's taking extra credits obviously developing as a
