LOOK: Ole Miss unveils uniform combo for Texas Bowl
Bowl games are the final games of the season for college football. And most teams pull out all the stops on the field and in the locker room when it comes to uniform selection. Of course, the Ole Miss Rebels are one of the programs in the country that knows how to win and look good doing it. Ahead of their Wednesday night TaxAct Texas Bowl matchup against Texas Tech, the Rebels revealed their uniform combo for the game.
Ole Miss will keep the juice flowing with one of their favorite uniform combinations this season, the powder blue jersey and powder blue helmet with the school name in bright red.
The Rebels will look to finish the season off as strong as they started it and pick up win number nine on the year. Despite the season not going the way many in the program and fans expected, Ole Miss has put together another impressive year under head coach Lane Kiffin. The Rebels did much of their damage on the ground this season behind a dominant rushing attack led by Quinshon Judkins and Zach Evans. And in Wednesday’s showdown against Texas Tech, expect the running back duo to run all over the Red Raiders’ defense while looking smooth in their powder blue unis.
Kiffin says no Ole Miss players opting out of bowl game
One of the biggest concerns facing college football head coaches as they enter into postseason bowl games is players electing to opt-out and prepare for the NFL Draft. And as the Rebels prepared for their showdown against Texas Tech in the Texas Bowl on Wednesday, Kiffin revealed his Rebels don’t have to worry about players opting out of the bowl game.
“Yeah, I’m pleased with the team. Guys that are even in the portal, going other places are still playing. no one is opting out,” said Kiffin.
The Rebels have a handful of players that could be headed off to the next level after this season ends. Those players include offensive linemen Mason Brooks and Nick Broeker, along with wide receiver Jonathan Mingo and star running back Zach Evans. Ole Miss’ regular season did not end the way that they envisioned. The Rebels ended the year on a three-game losing streak to SEC West rivals Alabama and Mississippi State at home and a loss to Arkansas on the road sandwiched in the middle. Still, it appears that all of the Rebels draft-eligible players want to end the season on the right foot with a victory over Texas Tech on Wednesday.
