Lane Kiffin's Ole Miss team is favored by six touchdowns after a 76-0 win over Furman. Dart passed for 418 yards and five touchdowns in the first half.

Ole Miss racked up 772 yards against Furman with Dart passing for 418 yards and five touchdowns in the first half. Last season, Dart & Co. poured 667 yards and 73 points on Mercer but then trailed at halftime of Game 2 against Tulane before winning 37-20.“I reminded these guys, even though it’s a different team, different season — you’ve got to do it every week,” Rebels coach Lane Kiffin said.An Ole Miss defense that loaded up with transfers produced 16 tackles for loss against Furman.
“What deficiencies you put on tape, that’s where teams attack you,” Mason said. “Obviously, Ole Miss didn’t have very many deficiencies. We showed some. For us, they’re going to work on them. We’re going to work on us.”Simmons, who arrived as a 17-year-old last year after reclassifying, hit Cayden Lee for a 35-yard touchdown on his first career pass.
“It definitely took away the pregame jitters,” said Simmons, who finished 7-of-16 passing for 111 yards. “I was a little nervous going into the game. I didn’t know what to expect.”Ole Miss offensive lineman Jeremy James set the Ole Miss career record with his 50th start. This will be the 50th start for Middle Tennessee safety Brendon Harris, one of the team’s two seventh-year players along with defensive end Alex Williams. Harris is a transfer from Wake Forest.
