Lynch, Memphis dominate Ole Miss 63-21 in renewal of rivalry
MEMPHIS -- After a four year hiatus, the Memphis-Ole Miss rivalry game that has traditionally been the season opener for each school returned on Saturday. This matchup has typically been dominated by Ole Miss, but after scoring 49 first half points, it was Memphis who looked like the SEC school. QB Paxton Lynch took advantage of an early Rebels turnover to put the Tigers up 21-0 after the 1st. Things would only get worse from there. In total, Lynch scored 6 TD's (tying the school record with 5 passing TD's) with WR's Jarod Hayden and Brandon Durbin catching 2 TD's each.
With the win, the Tigers ended a 5 game losing streak to Ole Miss and scored what they hope to be a signature non-conference win.
