Ole Miss vs. Middle Tennessee: How to watch, live stream, start time, TV channel
The 2024 season got off to as good of a start as No. 6 Ole Miss could ask for, beating Furman 76-0 and sending a message to the rest of the country that the Rebels are what every said they were all preseason.
While the Paladins were not much of a challenge things start to gradually get get more difficult for Ole Miss (1-0) the remaining 11 games, starting on Saturday with Middle Tennessee. Derek Mason returns as the first-year head coach of the Blue Raiders and is no stranger to preparing for a Southeastern Conference opponent.
The Blue Raiders (1-0) needed a touchdown in the closing seconds to defeat Tennessee Tech last Saturday and avoid a bad loss to open its season.
Jaxson Dart and the Rebels offense will look to continue the hot start it had last weekend where the senior quarterback needed only two quarters to throw for over 400 yards and five touchdowns, rushing for a sixth.
Fifth-year head coach Lane Kiffin issued a challenge to his offensive line and running backs to try and get the ground game going in Week 2 after sputtering some against Furman in the opener.
The Blue Raiders are the last home test before the Rebels hit the road for the first time next weekend, traveling to Winston-Salem, North Carolina to play Wake Forest before hosting Georgia Southern in two weeks to close out the non-conference slate.
