Ole Miss Morning-After: The Peach Bowl | Statement made. Bring on 2024.

No. 11 Ole Miss on Saturday secured the first 11-win season in program history with a 38-25 shellacking of No. 10 Penn State in the Peach Bowl. Ben Garrett (OMSpirit.com) and former Rebel Bradley Sowell have full reaction from the game, as well as postgame sound from head coach Lane Kiffin and select players.
Look out, 2024. Here the title-contending Rebels come.

Congrats from a PSU fan... your team looked good.

[@Thex-W.I.T.C.H.-xMaster]

If Ole Miss hasn't given Kiffin a rise and an extended contract by now they are crazy. Outside of Bama and Georgia they are the best team in the SEC. They have alot of good players coming in next year and they will be hard to beat. Oh and I'm a Bama fan so... Roll DAMN Tide 🐘...

They did

Tears😢. We hope you make it back.

PSUs CBs opted out..best pass rusher in Robinson...both OTs opted out...key positions to lose players in a big game against a good opponent....I give Ole Miss credit they played to win while PSU played (not played) and deserved to lose.

Great excuses

[@DerrickLanders-bg8wc]

No excuses, get real...if both NFL destined CB's, their 1st Rd draft pick DE, both All-american Tackles play - they change the complexion of the game...plus other PSU defensive starters only played 20-25 snaps and didn't play in the 2nd half...Abdul Carter didn't play in the 2nd half due to his ankle...so please sit down and realize that you didn't play the defense that played Michigan and Ohio State.

Ole miss had an opt out and two starters out. Watkins best WR and best OL Pettus

[@rickrhoden1]

​@DerrickLanders-bg8wc Nice fantasy conjecture--they play the game for a reason. Ole Miss had some key players out also, and qb was dinged up, not 100%. It's called football.

Left over guys That's not very nice Those leftovers Help when eleven games this year Hotty toddy!😮😊

[@stevemarsh1540]

Don't be so cocky . You beat a Penn State team not at full strength. If they were at full strength ole miss would have lost. Starting Starting

[@tsully4368]

😅😅 Excuses 😅😅

[@driftwood5551]

lol don’t watch if you don’t like ole miss!

[@toddshearer3670]

Yea right if they would have had those guys it wouldn’t have mattered. We lost a guy and next man up was just as good maybe they need to recruit better. Lol

[@marshallblanks4948]

Great excuses Did your offense opt out or did it just suck?

[@DerrickLanders-bg8wc]

​@@marshallblanks4948Both starting OT's opted out and for some reason the other starting WR didn't play. We went away from the run and I don't understand why...but don't get cocky like the poster said.

Anyone with an objective braincell will listen to you two and just put up the "Homer" sign...seems like anyone with an empty room and a laptop can all of the sudden be an "expert college football talking head"🙄. When this game was announced very few people pick Ole Miss to win except diehard fans and people betting on spreads. That was before PSU knew who was opting out - then Chop Robinson (DE) was out (projected 1st Rd Draft), then Johnny Dixson (CB) was out (1st or 2nd Rd)...the Kalen Kng (CB) was out (2nd Rd Draft), then Fashanau (Lft Tack) was out (1st Rd Draft)...then our other starting (Rt Tackle) was out anticipating late round Draft and combine...Abdul Carter (#11 that you raved about) went down with a gimp ankle (he could've left but didn't..) and didn't play most of the 2nd half. ON TOP OF THAT - Dude in the car talks about a few players that he would take that played...and Dude in the room doing his best to try and not be a Homer, with his "...and to fair, PSU was undermanned...", then proceeds to just be a fricking hypocrite/homer with "...but don't give me any excuses though... because we had one man out too...🙄... really? The guys that were missing were missing because they have have been targeted as NFL TALENT...NOT BECAUSE THEY JUST DIDN'T FEEL LIKE PLAYING - GET REAL - THEY WOULD HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE. Did you know that by the 3rd quarter a handful of the other starters on defense weren't playing because they only agreed to play 20-25 snaps in the game? That your WR Corp was running roures on Freshman and Sophomore secondary... except for DaQuan Hardy? Yall didn't play the defense that took the field against Iowa (B1G West Division Champs), who was shut out 31-0, or Maryland (who beat Auburn), was beaten 53-15, West VA (38-15) and held both Michigan and Ohio State to less than 25 pts each (UM scored 24 Ohio State scored 20). Give Ole Miss the credit for adjusting and attacking the depleted defense where it mattered...but you had to because you weren't going to beat us on the ground - period. KEEP IT REAL.

Derrick , STFU I have forgotten more football than you know, take some time and ask Google

[@livetotell100]

LMFAO. Statement? They beat a team without a Defensive Coordinator, half, no exaggeration, of the Defensive players for Penn State opted out in favor of the NFL draft. And 4 players on Offense did the same. That's like HALF the starters. Congrats on your win. But Bowl games mean nothing now. I saw this loss coming 4 days ago. The College game is now all about money. NIL, portals, etc. It's disgusting in my opinion.

[@kevingodair4878]

😂😂😂 your excuses are lame.

[@livetotell100]

@@kevingodair4878 You will see.

[@bradleysowell4163]

Don’t give a shit who was missing, we are beating that ass either way. Not our fault your best players could care less about your bowl game.

[@garywhitlock6560]

Boo hoo boo hoo

[@billymadison1466]

Their main starters are all coming back, top 25 recruiting class, and number one in the portal with several key defensive players. Your opinion is hilarious
