No. 25 Ole Miss unloads on struggling Texas

AUSTIN, Texas -- Mississippi found a running play that worked against Texas, and just like BYU a week earlier, kept running it again and again. The Longhorns couldn't stop Jeff Scott from blistering them on the speed option to the outside and No. 25 Ole Miss rolled over reeling Texas 44-23 on Saturday night. Scott ran for 164 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries and also scored on a 73-yard punt return. Bo Wallace passed for two touchdowns and ran for another and the Rebels' defense dominated the second half. "It's so sweet," Wallace said. "I was telling those guys ... they put up 66 on us (last year). I was wanting to score that many if we could." And for Mississippi, a road win at a historical powerhouse such as Texas will be another confidence boost under second-year coach Hugh Freeze.
