No. 6 Ole Miss will hit the road to Glendale (Ariz.) this week for a College Football Playoff semifinal matchup against Carson Beck and a fiery Miami Hurricanes squad on Thursday.

With a berth to the National Championship on the line, Pete Golding and Co. will look to keep the magical season in Oxford alive with the Hurricanes standing in the way of a spot in the title game.

“Really just staying in the moment. The first round, I talked to the receivers a little bit, just staying in the moment and just not thinking about the championship, because you got to get through other games to get through that,” Ole Miss wide receiver Harrison Wallace said.

“And just how it’s different from the regular season, just because if you lose, you don’t have another game. Just really staying in the moment and being where your feet are.”

Now, as game day inches closer in Glendale, the betting lines have shifted once again with the Ole Miss Rebels remaining the underdogs heading into the showdown.
