Ole Miss Opens Season Under New Coach | Louisville Football News

Ole Miss kicks off their 2026 season under new head coach Pete Golding and starting QB Trinidad, facing ranked Louisville in a high-stakes opener. With playoff ambitions and lofty expectations, the Rebels must rise above last year’s success and prove they’re built for the SEC elite. Louisville, led by QB Lincoln Kienholz and explosive running backs, brings momentum from a win over Miami — the same team that halted Ole Miss’ championship run. Can Ole Miss’ defense shut down the run and force Kienholz into passing lanes? The key lies with the receivers and offensive line creating space. Game: Sunday, Sept. 6, 6:30 PM CT, Nashville, on ABC.
