The No. 12 Rebels bounced back from an upset loss to Kentucky with a 27-3 bullying of the Gamecocks in Columbia. They improved to 5-1 overall and 1-1 SEC — but, perhaps more importantly, stabilized their season.
“I was just really impressed with how we were able to come together,” third-year starting quarterback Jaxson Dart said afterwards. “We had a player meeting, a lot of meetings one-on-one (with) individual guys.
“When you have such a talented team and you have a game like (Kentucky, where) you just screw up on your own, you definitely have to look at yourself in the mirror and see what you’re about and what’s your identity as a team.
“The team felt a lot of urgency this week. Just happy we were able to come back together instead of divide.”

Ole Miss also raised its offensive floor and received a breakout game from Suntarine Perkins.
Perkins was a late, first-team injury substitution at EDGE for late-scratch Princely Umanmielen. The Rebels entered the day tied for first in the SEC and second in FBS with Oklahoma in sacks (18).
Perkins — a former On3 Five-Star Plus+ recruit — was one of two Rebels (the other was TJ Dudley) in the game who finished with double-digit tackles.
Ole Miss set a new single-game season high for team sacks (6). The Rebels have double-digit tackles for loss in four of six games. The most in a single season is four — set by the 2015 Rebels.
The Ole Miss offense wasn’t particularly inspiring. However, Dart and Co. certainly took steps. Specifically, they remembered Juice Wells — and, by extension, the middle of the field — still exists.
Wells was facing his former school and led Ole Miss in receiving (95 yards).
