SUMMARY: The Ole Miss football team’s chances of reaching the College Football Playoff dimmed after a home loss to Kentucky. Lane Kiffin’s typically potent offense struggled against Kentucky’s defense, scoring just 17 points and gaining 353 yards. Analyst Taylor McHargue noted Ole Miss failed to maintain offensive momentum. Key missed opportunities, including a fumble and a missed field goal, hindered their efforts. While Ole Miss’ defense performed admirably, they were outmatched physically by Kentucky. Following the defeat, Ole Miss dropped from No. 6 to No. 12 in the AP poll, now facing a crucial game against South Carolina.
