ToC After Arkansas: Finally, the Ole Miss offense we’ve been waiting on
No. 19 Ole Miss improved to 7-2 (3-2 SEC) on the season with a 63-31 shellacking of Arkansas (5-4, 3-3) on Saturday. The Rebels claimed just their third win all-time in Fayetteville and first since 2008.
History was made everywhere. Third-year Rebel quarterback Jaxson Dart was 25 for 31 for 515 yards (a single-game school record), six touchdowns and no interceptions. His 562 yards of total offense are an Ole Miss record.
Dart passed Ole Miss legend Archie Manning, who’d held it for some 50 years.
“A really good performance,” Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin said. “Obviously there’s a couple individuals with record-breaking performances, but I thought the team played really well.
“I’d like to single-out (Ole Miss offensive coordinator) Charlie Weis. He’s taken a lot of criticism. I thought he had a great game plan today. You saw guys not just making plays but wide open. A lot of credit to the players and offensive coaches.”
