The Ole Miss Rebels edged Louisville 41-38 in a dramatic SEC showdown, delivering a thrilling finish that highlighted the conference’s growing competitiveness.
Game Highlights
Senior receiver Deuce Alexander was the offensive catalyst, hauling in five passes for a career‑high 159 yards and two touchdowns that both stretched 62 yards, the second‑longest of his career after an 88‑yard strike last season.
Junior placekicker Lucas Carneiro commanded the special‑teams unit, converting all five of his extra‑point attempts and delivering a 45‑yard game‑winning field goal that sealed the 41-38 victory; his three attempts of 45 yards or longer rank him among the nation’s most prolific long‑range kickers.
The performance earned Alexander co‑offensive player of the week honors and pushed his season total to a career high, while Carneiro’s accuracy and clutch kicking lifted him into the top 14 all‑time scorers for Ole Miss and secured co‑special teams player of the week recognition.
With the win bolstering their SEC standing, the Rebels are slated to travel to Charlotte for a Saturday night contest broadcast live on ESPN2, a matchup that promises to continue the momentum built by these standout contributions.
