WATCH: Ole Miss drops uniform combination ahead of Auburn game
Ole Miss dropped a spooky video ahead of its Halloween weekend matchup with Auburn at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
The Rebels will be rocking powder blue helmets, white jerseys with red numbers and accents with white pants and cleats. Auburn will likely be rocking its traditional home uniforms.
Ole Miss enters Saturday’s game coming off a four-game stretch that featured Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee and LSU. The Rebels sit at 6-1 on the season, but are beaten up and entering the month of November. Auburn on the other hand enters Saturday well-rested, coming off a bye week.
The game between the Rebels and Tigers kicks off at 7:00 p.m. ET on ESPN. Auburn is a 2.5-point favorite, and running backs Tank Bigsby and Jarquez Hunter will look to take advantage of Ole Miss’ dismal run defense. The Rebels are giving up 179.3 yards per game on the ground, which is second-worst in the SEC.
Ole Miss’ offense will pose a threat Auburn’s defense has yet to face this season. The Rebels are averaging 541.1 yards and 41.9 points per game led by Heisman contender Matt Corral at quarterback.

Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin knows the threat Corral and the Ole Miss offense poses.
“I think he’s a tough player,” Harsin said. “People say ‘football player.’ That stands out. He happens to play quarterback. This guy’s a football player.”
According to Harsin, there really is not anything Corral can’t do.
“He throws the ball very well,” Harsin added. “He does a very good job on play action. He runs the ball hard, and he runs it physical at his position. He’s making good decisions, you can tell, with his stats: 15 touchdowns, one [interception]. I think he’s also their leading rusher as well.
“He does a lot of things for what they’re trying to accomplish on the offensive side. I think he’s got a good feel for what they’re doing. Offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby, coach [Lane] Kiffin, those guys have done a very good job with him.”
Through seven games, Corral has thrown for 1,913 passing yards on a near 68% completion rate, throwing for 15 touchdowns with just one interception. On the ground, the Ole Miss quarterback is almost as effective as in the air, rushing for 474 yards on 100 attempts, along with nine touchdowns. Against AP top-25 opponents, Corral has been even better, completing 70% of his passes for 500 passing yards and three touchdowns, along with 97 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.
