As coaching search continues, NCAA verdict looms, Ross Bjork remains optimistic

The Ole Miss football program is in a unique situation. As the Rebels await the final verdict in a yearslong NCAA scandal, they are also in the business of finding a new head coach.

Longo Ball: A high-powered Ole Miss offense continues to score

The offensive fireworks continued for Ole Miss on Saturday. Since quarterback Jordan Ta’amu took over the helm of the Rebel offense, Ole Miss has had no shortage of success.
