Ole Miss Aims for Ranked Opening Win | Ole Miss Rebels Football News

Ole Miss football is heating up for 2026, ranked No. 9 after a historic 2025 season that included two playoff wins. New head coach Pete Golding inherits a loaded roster with Heisman hopefuls Trinidad Chambliss and Kewan Lacy on offense, and a stout defense led by Will Echoles and Kam Franklin. They open against ranked Louisville in Nashville — the only ranked matchup in Week 1 — aiming to start strong while countering Louisville’s star running back Isaac Brown with new linebackers Keaton Thomas and Luke Ferrelli. With key receiver spots still open, Deuce Alexander could be the early go-to target. Can they repeat last year’s magic? All eyes are on them.
