Ole Miss named national team of the week

The Ole Miss Rebels were by far and away the best team in college football last week. They pulled off a huge upset by going into Tuscaloosa and manhandling the Alabama Crimson Tide. The team is now being honored after they were named the national team of the week.

According to the Football Writer’s Association of America, the Chad Kelly-led Rebels were named the AutoNation National Team of the Week after their amazing performance on Saturday. This was the first time the Rebels have ever beaten the Crimson Tide in back-to-back seasons in their 60-game series.

Kelly had a monster game for the Rebels as he three for 361 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for twenty-one more and another score. His 73-yard touchdown to Cody Core in the fourth quarter essentially put the game away for his team.

“Oh man, what a game,” Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said. “It was definitely a four-quarter battle. We thought we had it put away a couple of times, and they just wouldn’t go away. The great thing about it is we can improve so much from this. Hopefully, we’ll take all the positives from it and be excited about the win, but look at everything that we didn’t do properly and get better for next week.”

The Rebels, now ranked fourth in the latest AP poll, next play the Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday, September 26.
