Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels will open the 2025 season on Saturday night at Vaught Hemingway Stadium in a Week 1 matchup against the Georgia State Panthers.

Ole Mis will roll out redshirt-sophomore quarterback Austin Simmons as the program's new QB1 in Oxford with all eyes set to be on the youngster.

“I think Austin’s doing a really good job. He had a really good Saturday night and performed really well. We continue to emphasize, one of the things why we’ve had a really good record, performed really well, it’s not just the offensive stats, those passing yards and all that," Kiffin said. "It’s been taking care of the football at that position and doing a really good job of that.

"So that’s, of course, a big emphasis, especially with a first-time starter, to make sure that that’s the No. 1 emphasis for him. We’re excited. He’s got a lot of weapons that have done really good things in practice, so now we got to do that in a game.” 

Now, with the 2025 season inching closer, what does the Rebels' schedule look like ahead of a challenging Southeastern Conference slate this fall?
