LISTEN: Sunny P’s bolstered Ole Miss defense’s championship bonafides
Ben Garrett (OMSpirit.com) is back inside the RiverLand Roofing Studios for an all-new edition of ‘Talk of Champions’ on this Victory Monday for Ole Miss football.
The No. 19 Rebels are 6-2 (2-2 SEC) on the season following their win over Oklahoma over the weekend. Up next is a road trip to Arkansas (5-3, 3-2). Kickoff on November 2 is set for 11 a.m. CT on ESPN.
Ole Miss was forced to rediscover its tight ends and the middle of the field with Tre Harris sidelined against the Sooners.
“I love throwing to them,” third-year starting quarterback Jaxson Dart said. “They’re great players and do amazing things with the ball in their hands.
“I was happy we could scheme some things up and get them the ball, especially us attacking the middle of the field. I feel like that’s something we’ve lacked. Really happy with our ability to do that and those guys made really great explosive plays.”
This Rebel defensive line could also be the best of the modern era. Actually, the Ole Miss defense as a collective unit showed again its championship bonafides.

The Rebels will get another test in Arkansas dual-threat quarterback Taylor Green and star running back Ja’Quinden Jackson. Jackson is fourth in the SEC in rushing (84.6 yards per game). Green has totaled 2,451 all-purpose yards so far. Oh, and Fayetteville has been a House of Horrors for Ole Miss historically.
The Rebels are 2-13 there all-time.
“I feel like we showed how great our defensive line is (against Oklahoma), which is a testament to the work these guys put in,” Ole Miss EDGE Princely Umanmielen said.
Finally, basketball showed Sunday in an exhibition win over Illinois why anything less than an NCAA Tournament berth is a failure in 2024-25. Malik Dia is one of eight or so Rebels with next-level potential.
