Broadcast and Access
Ole Miss returns to the playoff picture after a 13‑2 season, with quarterback Trinidad Chambliss and running back Kewan Lacy leading an offense that combined for more than 4,000 yards last year.
Louisville, which finished 9‑4 in 2025, brings back explosive running back Isaac Brown, whose 8.8 yards per carry average makes him one of the ACC’s most dynamic rushers, while new quarterback Lincoln Kienholz, a transfer from Ohio State, is expected to drive the Cardinals’ attack.
The quarterback transition for Louisville adds a layer of intrigue, as Kienholz’s ability to adapt quickly could determine how effectively the Cardinals execute their offensive scheme.
Fans can watch the game at no cost through ABC’s broadcast, with streaming available on DIRECTV and FuboTV; both services are offering free trials, and their monthly packages are priced at $89.99 and $88.99 respectively.
