In front of the seventh-largest crowd in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium history, the Ole Miss Rebels captured a 30-14 win over the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday night.

Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin called for an electric environment with the Rebels fanbase answering in Week 10 with a soldout crowd in Oxford against an SEC opponent.

“It was great to see,” Kiffin said. “Teams feed off that, especially defensively. We think about a lot of elite, loud environments and you think over years of time, a lot of times they usually have really good defenses. I think defensive players especially respond to that; it was great to see. 

“I probably got us a penalty there at the end because I was just excited that we made that interception. Those don’t happen a lot around here lately. When we did it, the student section was right there.

"I just told them to go down; I didn’t tell them to jump into the stands. They did that. We got the penalty, so I just threw the ball up there too. They aren’t going to give us two penalties. Sometimes, you gotta have fun.”
