No. 22 Ole Miss whipped Central Arkansas, 59-3, on Saturday to improve to 2-0 on the season.
Luke Altmyer, who started at quarterback, injured his shoulder and was replaced, possibly prematurely, by Jaxson Dart with under a minute to go in the second half and Ole Miss leading 28-0.
Altmyer ultimately finished 6 for 13 for two touchdowns and an interception, while Dart impressed, completing 10 of 15 passes for 182 yards and two touchdowns. Altmyer also rushed for a score.
Quinshon Judkins posted his first career 100-yard effort.
The true freshman running back had 104 yards on 10 carries, while tight end Michael Trigg grabbed three touchdowns, a first for an Ole Miss receiver since Elijah Moore in 2000.

Three Rebels (Tysheem Johnson, Otis Reese and Troy Brown) tied for the team lead in tackles (5). Johnson led Ole Miss in the category in a season-opening win over Troy a week ago.
Khari Coleman, who had 5.0 tackles for loss in his Ole Miss debut, added another 1.5 TFLs, as well as a half a sack. The Rebels held the Bears to less than 200 yards of total offense.
