Rebels coach Lane Kiffin wasn’t totally thrilled with his quarterback, Jaxson Dart, after the 52-20 romp. Dart checked to a pass play with the game out of hand and his last pass as a Rebel turned into an unnneeded 69-yard touchdown. After the game, Kiffin was asked about his quarterback.

Lane Kiffin made a joke about Diego Pavia's recent NCAA waiver during the Ole Miss-Duke game on Thursday night.
