    Game updates, live scores in college football

    OXFORD – The Ole Miss football season is picking up steam.

    The no. 6 Rebels (4-0) host Kentucky (2-2, 0-2 SEC) today in the Ole Miss Conference opener. It is also a homecoming. Coach Lane Kiffin said an SEC opponent will test the undefeated Rebels in a way their non-conference opponents couldn’t. The Wildcats are winless in conference play but lost narrowly to No. 1 Georgia two weeks ago.

    The Rebels bring significant star power to the game. Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart is the nation’s leader passing. Ole Miss defensive lineman Jared Ivey, who missed last week’s game with an ankle injury, is likely to play in Week 5, according to the injury report.

    Ole Miss vs. Kentucky results updates

    With a long field goal, Kentucky jumps back to a three-point lead.

    The second quarter is Ole Miss’ first scoreless quarter of the season. Kentucky has played 40 games while the Rebels have played 23, allowing them to dominate in time of possession. It’s a good recipe for an underdog to win.

    The Rebels are on the road for the first time this season. Kentucky managed a 13-play, 81-yard drive in 5:45. The drive was also aided by three Ole Miss defensive penalties. Wildcat quarterback Brock Vandagriff threw a touch pass to Dane Key for the score.

    Ole Miss’ offense started brilliantly but has since faltered. The Rebels have to punt again and Kentucky takes over at its 19-yard line. Since the first touchdown drive, it’s been all punts for Ole Miss.

    A 10-play drive at Kentucky ends with a punt. The Wildcats drove 41 yards and picked up a fourth down, but opted to punt when faced with a 4th-and-2 from midfield. The Rebels take over at their 17-yard line.

    Kentucky’s strong pass rush is starting to show itself. Kentucky edge rusher Octavious Oxendine sacks Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart to force a rare Ole Miss punt. The Wildcats take over at their 34-yard line.

    The rebels started quickly and Kentucky responded with a methodical march. The Wildcats come into the game with a 15-play drive lasting 7:38. It ends with a short field goal from Alex Raynor. Kentucky ran nine rushing plays on its first drive.

    It looked like the Rebels might be robbed of their first possession. Instead, quarterback Jaxson Dart scored seven points. Dart led a six-play, 83-yard drive in which he completed every pass he threw.

    Kentucky strikes first. Ole Miss kick returner Micah Davis is hit on his opening return and goes down at the 17-yard line. Originally it was said that Davis fumbled, but after review, Ole Miss retained possession.

    According to Saturday morning’s injury report update, junior left tackle Jayden Williams will not play against Kentucky. He was a late addition to the Out category.

    Ole Miss vs Kentucky Predictions

    Ole Miss 30, Kentucky 10: The Rebels may be facing their first test of the season, but everything they’ve shown in 2024 suggests they won’t give up. If the Rebels’ rushing game gets swallowed up, Dart can come out on top. The Rebels should be able to pull off a one-dimensional victory, leaning on Dart when necessary.

    Ole Miss vs. Kentucky injury updates

    Defensive lineman Jared Ivey’s status is something to keep an eye on. He will likely play against Kentucky. Ivey is battling an ankle injury suffered in the Week 3 game at Wake Forest. It kept him out of the game against Georgia Southern last week. Ivey, a 6-foot-2, 220-pound senior defensive lineman, was a key part of the Rebels’ dominant defense. He has two sacks this season.
