Ole Miss runs away from Vanderbilt in 2nd half, wins 31-6

OXFORD, Miss. -- The temptation to look to the future is understandable for Mississippi coach Matt Luke. After all, the most productive skill position players are freshmen, and a rebuilt defensive unit is filled with first-year starters and newcomers filling key roles. But he refuses to ignore the present day possibilities of his young team. Jerrion Ealy and Snoop Conner each had big touchdown runs in the third quarter to help Mississippi pull away from Vanderbilt for a 31-6 win on Saturday night. Ealy ran for a 78-yard touchdown and finished with 97 yards on the ground. Conner had 91 yards rushing that included an 84-yard TD run. "It's great to see two freshmen break off touchdown runs like that," Luke said. "It's fun when you see a team grow and get better for the future, but our goal is to win right now.
