Ole Miss vs. The Citadel: How to watch, live stream, start time
No. 6 Ole Miss continues its closing stretch to the 2025 regular season this weekend with its final non-conference game.
The Rebels host The Citadel in what is a game where the home team just has to avoid shooting itself in the foot. After Tuesday’s first College Football Playoff rankings of the season Ole Miss controls its destiny the rest of November. It just has to avoid a landmine that is in the form of The Bulldogs.
Saturday’s game is one where it is all about staying healthy and getting the starters out as soon as possible. With Florida up next week and the Egg Bowl in three weeks getting as much rest when possible is a premium.
