Ole Miss Wins Outback Bowl Over Indiana: Reaction, Analysis, 5 Thoughts

Ole Miss wins Outback Bowl over Indiana 26-20. Five thoughts and analysis of the game, and what it all means.

1. Everything is looking up for Ole Miss

The 2014 Rebels got roasted by TCU in the Peach Bowl 42-3. That was the only blip in a terrific run, going 8-1 in the last nine bowl games and 12-1 in the last 13 going back to 1990.

This isn’t going to be the last bowl win for Ole Miss under Lane Kiffin.

With this win, the Rebels finish at a respectable 5-5, there was a win over rival Mississippi State, there’s a good nucleus of young players coming back, this is a fun and exciting team that’s going to keep wining it all over the place, and the program has the stability of Kiffin being tied into a new contract extension.

It’s supposed to start next year against Louisville, Austin Peay and Tulane with a date against Liberty and Hugh Freeze later on.

Those should be four wins for a program that’s about to get a whole lot stronger, and it’s helped further with no Florida or Georgia on the slate.

That’s what a bowl win can do. It was the first since 2015, and now it’s about to be a fun offseason.
