Ole Miss at Kentucky: Live updates, scores, game highlights

The start of Southeastern Conference play is here with No. 20 Ole Miss at Kentucky for the first conference game of the season, and the only one in Week 2.

There is a bit of a revenge factor at play in Lexington for Lane Kiffin and the Rebels. The sixth-year head coach revealed the 20-17 loss in Oxford last year “sucked” and the long practices this week signal this is a game he has had circled for the last 343 days. There is a similar vibe and motivation to how Kiffin approached last year’s rematch with Georgia after the blowout loss in Athens two years ago.

Focusing back on this game at Kroger Field, Austin Simmons is making his first career SEC start. This is going to be the first full-game action for the Rebels quarterback after his lone touchdown-leading drive against Georgia last season.
