On the heels of one of the biggest wins in program history, Ole Miss jumped 12 spots in Sunday’s Week 4 AP Top 25, coming in at No. 3, tied with TCU.
The Rebels (3-0) jumped out to a 20-point lead midway through the third quarter at second-ranked Alabama on Saturday night before holding off a rally to win, 43-37.

“We believe in one another,” said Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze. “My message right before the game was, ‘You don’t have to be something that you’re not this time. Let’s just go out there and handle the emotions and play.'”
Ole Miss has posted back-to-back wins over the Crimson Tide for the first time ever and won in Tuscaloosa for the first time since 1988.
The Rebels took a 24-10 lead on their first drive of the second half when Chad Kelly miraculously hooked up with Quincy Adeboyejo for a 66-yard touchdown pass.
It’s early, but Adeboyejo’s catch-and-run could be college football’s play of the year.
