Show notes

Ole Miss authored one of college football’s greatest modern upsets nearly two decades ago.

The Rebels walked into The Swamp in late-September of 2008 and stunned No. 4 Florida and eventual Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. The play everybody still remembers — the one that ultimately swung the game — was former Rebel defensive end Kentrell Lockett’s blocked PAT.

Lockett joined the Spirit’s Ben Garrett and Sudu Upadhyay on the latest episode of Game Runs Deep.

Show notes

No. 7 Ole Miss improved to 8-1 (5-1 SEC) on the season with a 30-14 win over South Carolina (3-6, 1-6) on Saturday.

The Rebels have three games remaining in the 2025-26 season and as they continue their fierce push for a College Football Playoff berth. All the while, Lane Kiffin continues to dominate coaching carousel rumors.

In the end, if Ole Miss keeps taking care of its business, all that noise will take care of itself.

The Ole Miss Spirit’s Ben Garrett and Brad Logan are LIVE after the win and Kiffin’s postgame press conference. Suntarine Perkins had his best game of the season and one of the best of his Ole Miss career. to lead helmet stickers. Plus, Ben and Brad go around the SEC. Mississippi State got its first win in nearly 20 SEC games, while Auburn lost at Kentucky. Hugh Freeze is likely toast. Kiffin flirted heavily with the Tigers in 2022.

But, so far, the Rebels are showing no signs of a repeating history. While those Rebels lost four of their last five, Ole Miss has won back-to-back games (and its first of November) following the Rebels’ only loss of the season at Georgia.
