Ole Miss survived a back-and-forth SEC battle, defeating Kentucky 30-23 at Kroger Field behind a balanced ground attack featuring touchdowns from three different Rebels. After trailing 7-0 early, the Rebels seized momentum with three rushing touchdowns from Kewan Lacy, Damien Taylor, and quarterback Austin Simmons. Seth McGowan's second touchdown for the Wildcats tied the game at 20 in the third quarter, but Simmons' 7-yard scoring run put Ole Miss ahead for good.
