Ole Miss has exceeded expectations this season. Not only have the Rebels advanced to their first College Football Playoff appearance, but they are set to play in the CFP semifinals despite former coach Lane Kiffin leaving them for LSU before the playoff began.
Following Kiffin’s departure, defensive coordinator Pete Golding was elevated to head coach and led the Rebels to victories over Tulane and Georgia in the CFP. Now, Golding and Ole Miss will face Miami on Thursday with a trip to the national championship game on the line.
