Ole Miss front 7 is ferocious & dominated Louisville OL w/ 4 new starters. 31-17 Rebs
The defensive slog turns into a shootout, and Barstool can't look away. What started as a defensive game flips into a track meet, and the whole Barstool feed jumps on it — Pardon My Take and the flagship account both frame it as a shootout, while DoubleVodkaDon zeroes in on a Kienholz-to-McCoy connection lighting up the second half. Big Cat, who called this the only Sunday night game worth watching back on Friday, gets to say I told you so.
The credit lands on Chambliss, and Barstool thanks both teams for the ride. DoubleVodkaDon singles out Trinidad Chambliss as the guy he'd trust most with the ball late in a one-score game, even while wondering if this Ole Miss team is as complete as last year's. The flagship account calls it the game of the weekend, and Mintzy's own halftime notes reveal the Rebs were carrying two Chambliss turnovers and a bad snap the whole way and still had it in hand.
Kienholz breaks off a touchdown run to keep Louisville in it late. With the shootout script fully in motion, Kienholz finds room on a designed run and takes it in himself, keeping Louisville alive in a game Ole Miss had led throughout. It sets up a finish that neither side is willing to let go of.
“Here we go, empty back field design run for Kingholtz, bouncing outside, Touchdown!”
KIENHOLZ RUNS IT IN
Lucas Carneiro walks it off for Ole Miss. After Kienholz's answer, Ole Miss gets the ball back needing points and sends Carneiro out to end it, capping a back-and-forth night that neither team's defense could slow down. Players and staff from both sidelines meet on the field once it's over.
The final goes on the record, 41-38, and the Rebs turn to Charlotte. Mintzy puts the actual number on the board — Ole Miss 41, Louisville 38 — closing out a night she says the Rebs had in hand the entire way regardless of the final margin. With the shootout in the books, the attention shifts immediately to next week's trip to Charlotte.
Ole Miss 41 Louisville 38 Rebs had em all the way…. W counts the same by 3 or 30. Louisville damn sure ain’t no joke either, Onto Charlotte……
