SUMMARY: The No. 6 Ole Miss football team faced its first significant challenge of the season, losing to Kentucky 20-17 at home, ending a 10-game winning streak. Ole Miss (4-1, 0-1 SEC) initially took the lead but struggled offensively, allowing Kentucky (3-2, 1-2 SEC) to gain momentum and score late in the fourth quarter. Despite a strong performance from quarterback Jaxson Dart, who threw for 261 yards, costly penalties and poor third-down conversions plagued the Rebels. Coach Lane Kiffin remains confident, noting the game could have gone either way. Ole Miss will next face South Carolina in conference play.
