Ole Miss won the Gator Bowl in a romp over Duke on Thursday.
Rebels coach Lane Kiffin wasn’t totally thrilled with his quarterback, Jaxson Dart, after the 52-20 romp.
Dart checked to a pass play with the game out of hand and his last pass as a Rebel turned into an unnneeded 69-yard touchdown.
After the game, Kiffin was asked about his quarterback.
“I love him except on that last play when he checks to a pass. something he’s not supposed to,” Kiffin said, “He’s got to learn a little bit of class there. But ofher than that, I love this guy and he’s awesome and you never know, nowadays people file waivers maybe he will be back next year.”
The waiver comment was a clear shot at Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia, who went to court and was granted another year of eligibility despite having played in junior college before stepping into the big time.
