PHOTOS: A gritty Jaxson Dart took the reins for a merry band of comeback Rebels at Tulane
No. 20 Ole Miss rallied Saturday at No. 24 Tulane for its first double-digit comeback win over an AP ranked opponent since 2016.
The Rebels moved to 2-0 with a 37-20 win and next return home to face off with Georgia Tech in a week before opening SEC play at Alabama.
The Ole Miss offensive line struggled to protect quarterback Jaxson Dart all afternoon. However, the second-year Rebel and former transfer from USC was still able to complete 17 of 27 passes for 267 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
Senior wide receiver and one-time walk-on Dayton Wade led all receivers with seven catches for 106 yards, including a long of 43. Quinshon Judkins is off to a slow start after setting a new single-season school record for rushing yards as a freshman. He was held to just 48 yards on 18 carries, though he did score.
Veteran safety Trey Washington led the Rebels in tackles (8), followed by Khari Coleman (7). They each had five solos, while Coleman had one of the Rebels’ six tackles for loss. James Madison transfer EDGE Isaac Ukwu had a team-leading two TFLs.
Texas A&M transfer kicker Caden Davis made three field goals, including a 56-yarder to clinch the win.
