Ole Miss announces new home-and-home series with UConn
The Rebels have just finalized the program’s 2028 non-conference slate.
That’s because Ole Miss has announced the program has agreed to a new home-and-home series with UConn, which is an independent program.
The first game in the series is set to take place on Sept. 11, 2027, at UConn with the Huskies turning around and making the return trip to Oxford the following season on Nov. 18.
Ole Miss and UConn have never met on the gridiron.

Home and Home with UCONN? really? That wont be on TV unless its SEC network UCONN got the best of that
Every team adds cupcakes to their schedule and pays them a lot of money to use them as practice dummies. But don’t forget Troy and Appalachian State. If you look back far enough I’m sure pretty much every team has a loss to a cupcake. Beware the cupcakes!
This seems like a bad move. There is no advantage to playing a game at UConn. If you’re going to travel to a nothing school, at least do it to a decent recruiting area.
40,000 seat stadium up there.
Average just over 20,000 a game. Just for perspective, that’s about the same as Arkansas State and 4k less than App State and Troy State. Why UConn.
