No. 12 Mississippi dominates first half, coasts to 33-7 win over Vanderbilt

OXFORD, Miss. -- , If Mississippi coach Lane Kiffin was concerned about a trap game Saturday night facing his No. 12 Rebels, those concerns were erased immediately. Jaxson Dart threw for one touchdown, ran for another and Mississippi scored on five consecutive first-half possessions as the Rebels defeated Vanderbilt 33-7 on Saturday night. “So often you can be flat or get caught in a trap game at home against an opponent that has struggled, but this is good,” Kiffin said. “We’re 7-1 after starting 3-1. We’re 19-2 in the last 21 home games. That’s pretty cool.” Ole Miss (7-1, 4-1 SEC) eliminated any upset hopes with a 26-0 blitz by going 5-of-5 in the red zone opening a 23-minute stretch that spanned to the 7:40 mark in the second period. Dart scored on a 1-yard run and a threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Dayton Wade , finishing with eight receptions for 120 yards.
