Kelly and Co. continue preparation for the critical SEC showdown with the program preparing for a unique challenge at Vaught Hemingway Stadium.
"Ole Miss is certainly a rivalry game playing for the Magnolia Bowl Trophy. I think everybody knows this is a game that goes way back, and certainly the last couple of years, it was decided on the last plays of the game," Kelly said.
"Ole Miss is an outstanding football team. Coach Lane does a great job, and they have an established winning culture, certainly an offense that has put up incredible numbers offensively."

Brian Kelly's Take: Evaluating the Rebels' Playmakers
"Harrison [Wallace], an outstanding wide receiver; they've got some veteran offensive linemen, and obviously efficient at what they do and how they do it. This is what they do, and it's very similar week in and week out, the balance that they have in running and throwing the football.
"Defensively, [TJ] Dottery at linebacker and [Suntarine] Perkins at the edge. They've got an inside presence. They've got an outside presence, and they certainly have it at the linebacker who makes things happen for him.
"So, again, a great challenge for us, one that we're looking forward to. We got to go on the road; anytime you go on the road in the SEC, it's a great challenge."
