Jaxson Dart, Tre Harris connect on 48-yard TD to give Ole Miss a go-ahead TD vs. Kentucky
Published:
Jaxson Dart and Tre Harris came up clutch late in the third quarter on Saturday afternoon vs. Kentucky.
In the final seconds of the third quarter, Ole Miss found itself trailing Kentucky 13-10. Facing a 4th and 7, Rebels coach Lane Kiffin decided to roll the dice and go for it — a decision that paid off handsomely.
Dart found Harris over the middle of the field for an easy conversion. Then, he rounded a Kentucky DB and won a foot race to the end zone to give the Rebels their first lead since late in the first half.
