Key Highlights

The Rebels, on the other hand, were coming off a 41-10 win over Tulane in the first round.
With Thursday’s win, Ole Miss advanced to the Fiesta Bowl next week to take on the University of Miami.
The winner of that game will move on to the national championship. Making the win especially significant was Kiffin’s sudden departure from the program in late November.
There were rumblings that Kiffin was interested in taking the head coaching job at LSU, and he confirmed in November that he had accepted an offer to lead the program in Baton Rouge.
Although Ole Miss was in the middle of one of its most successful seasons ever, Kiffin did not finish the season out and instead left for LSU immediately.
