Ole Miss scored its most points (73) of the now-four-year-old Lane Kiffin era, as the Rebels are 1-0 following a dominant 2023-campaign-opening win over Mercer on Saturday.

The Spirit was obviously in attendance and has had full coverage, including a live game/recap story, postgame awards and much, much more. Ole Miss wide receiver Tre Harris set a new single-game school record for receiving touchdowns (4).

Included here are additional photos specially provided to the Spirit by Bruce Newman.
