Counting Down to a Historic Event

Next Saturday’s battle will be etched in the annals of football history, marking the 18th all-time meeting between the two collegiate powerhouses, Ole Miss and South Carolina. As fate would have it, the Ole Miss Rebels are revisiting Columbia for the first time since 2009. Rekindling the rivalry for the Rebels in South Carolina’s territory after a long interlude of 15 years is surely momentous for both collegiate teams.

Thus far, the Rebels boast a 9-8 edge in the overall wins. When it comes to duels in Columbia, the records show a perfect stalemate, tied at 4-4. This year’s event will tip the scale, unlocking the deadlock and defining a dominator in their shared history.

Building Momentum

Ranked at No. 5, the Ole Miss enter the forthcoming match on a positive note and a winning streak, boasting an untainted record of 4-0 victories this season alone. The Rebels’ focus now veers quickly onto its home clash this week against the Kentucky Wildcats. The upcoming Homecoming matchup, set for September 28, carries great significance for the Rebels before they step into Columbia.

Hosting the Wildcats, who stand at an even score of 2-2, with a 0-2 loss in the SEC, the Rebels can leverage this opportunity to further solidify their standing in the league. The Saturday kick-off at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium is scheduled for 11 a.m. CT and will also be telecast live on ABC.

Competitive Tensions Ramp Up

South Carolina, on the other hand, will be pulling out all the stops to assert their dominance at home. With a home-field advantage and a strong drive to break the tie in Columbia, the October 5th contest promises riveting competition. While Ole Miss leads the all-time series, South Carolina will undoubtedly look to turn the tide and assert their positions as the home kingpin.
