The previous three quarters were over and in the past, Thank God. During those 45 minutes of play, the Rebels<\/strong> scored just seven points and Bo Wallace<\/strong> tossed three interceptions. Ole Miss<\/strong> running backs had contributed less than 50 yards on the ground. The offense line was jumping off sides so often, it was starting to become a nightmare. It was looking ugly.<\/span><\/p>\n

But then, something happened. For fifteen minutes, the 2014 Ole Miss Rebels looked unstoppable. The defense made big play after big play with jaw dropping hits. The offense clicked and put up 28 points. Wallace led interceptions were non-existent. The offense line pushed out of the trench and the running game saw a glimmer of hope. This was the team the Rebel Nation<\/strong> was looking forward to and expected to see. This was a team that was, \u201cAll In.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOnce we weren\u2019t turning the ball over and jumping offside, that\u2019s when we started putting up points,\u201d Wallace said. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ole Miss is hoping to carry over that fourth quarter play to it\u2019s SEC opener, a road game at Vanderbilt.<\/strong> The odds are in their favor as Vegas takes bets with the Rebels laying 21 points. The possibility of this becoming a trap game for Ole Miss is something Head Coach Hugh Freeze<\/strong> says will not happen. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not going to overlook them,\u201d Freeze said. \u201cWe\u2019ll get them ready. It\u2019s an SEC<\/strong> football game on the road. Our kids have to be prepared to go to Nashville<\/strong> and hopefully get a second road win of the year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
