Ole Miss Shocks Texas Tech 47-34
Ole Miss wanted to prove that they belong and with a 47-34 win over Texas Tech the Ole Miss Rebels have just done that. Graham Harrell and the Red Raiders seem to get all the press in the build-up, but Ole Miss proved they belong and opened some eyes around the country as well. Ole Miss got three touchdown passes from Jevan Snead and cornerback-returner Marshay Green gave them some big plays as well. The one guy though who may have made the biggest impact was Dexter McCluster who rushed for 97 yards and also caught six passes for 83 yards to help pace Ole Miss.
For Graham Harrell it was another record breaking season and he accomplished many things like beating Texas, but the National Championship eluded them just when he thought they might win it. Harrell threw for 364 yards and 4 touchdowns in the loss and will move on to the next level to take his talents. Harrell is a class act and will be missed at Texas Tech in the coming years.
