The Rebels remained idle at No. 15 in the Week 15 edition of the poll following their 26-14 Egg Bowl victory over Mississippi State Friday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Meanwhile, South Carolina moved up to No. 13 following its 17-14 road victory over then-No. 12 Clemson in the Palmetto Bowl.

The Bulldogs do appear to have found their quarterback for the future, as Van Buren stood toe-to-toe with the nationally ranked Ole Miss defense and kept the Bulldogs in the game for four quarters. The freshman finished with 280 yards passing and one touchdown, along with a handful of big plays.

Ulysses Bentley rushed for 136 yards and a touchdown and No. 15 Mississippi defeated in-state rival Mississippi State 26-14 FRiday in the Egg Bowl, keeping its slim College Football Playoff hope alive.

The Ole Miss defense ended the game with three sacks, eight TFLs, five pass deflections, and two interceptions, giving the Bulldogs a hard time as they also kept the rushing attack to just 39 total yards on the day along with Van Buren’s completion percentage to a mere 53 percent.

Ole Miss football head coach Lane Kiffin sent out an awesome post after the Egg Bowl victory over Mississippi State.

Ole Miss football was far from great in Friday's Egg Bowl at Vaught Hemingway Stadium, but the Rebels made enough plays to squeak out a win.
