Lane Kiffin, who just won his second Conference USA Championship in the last three years at Florida Atlantic, is bringing his exciting brand of football to Ole Miss, as athletics director Keith Carter announced him as the Rebels' 39th head coach on Saturday. A public introduction, presented by Oxford Orthopaedics, will take place Monday at 1 p.m. CT at The Pavilion at Ole Miss. The event will be open to the public and broadcast live on SEC Network, in addition to OleMissSports.com and Ole Miss Football Twitter and Facebook channels.

Kiffin, who arrives in Oxford after three seasons in the same position at FAU, has more than 10 years of head coaching experience, including eight years at the NCAA level where he has posted an all-time record of 61-34. "I couldn't be more excited to welcome Coach Kiffin to the Ole Miss family," Carter said. "As we entered this process, we were looking for energy, innovativeness and a program builder who could excite our student-athletes and fans. Coach Kiffin checked every box and is a home run for our program. I look forward to locking arms with him to take Ole Miss Football to a championship level." - Mississippi Football

12/05/19 - Marcus Tatum, rSr/2022, Central Florida, 6-7, 307 (DS#54 OT) + More +

Tennessee offensive tackle Marcus Tatum plans to play elsewhere as a graduate transfer next season. Tatum tweeted Wednesday that "I will always be a VFL (Vol For Life), but it is time for me to move on in my career and pursue different opportunities for myself as a person and as a player as a graduate transfer." The fourth-year junior from Daytona Beach, Florida, started Tennessee's first two games as a right tackle but made only one more start the rest of the season. Tatum made five starts in 2018 and three in 2017. Tatum said "there is no bad blood, and nothing bad between me and the coaches." Tatum said Tennessee's coaches "have been great in helping me every step of the way." Tatum becomes the second Tennessee offensive lineman this week to announce he's entering the transfer portal. Ryan Johnson tweeted Monday that "it is time for me to start a new chapter in my life and in my football career." - AP College Football

12/04/19 - *Gabriel Davis, Jr/2020, Central Florida, 6-2, 216 (DS#14 WR) + More +

UCF junior receiver Gabe Davis has decided to leave school a year early to enter the NFL draft, a move that comes as no surprise to most anyone close to the Knights program. "I feel good, man. It's just kind of weird just to know that the years at UCF went by so fast and now I'm doing something that I never thought I'd be doing...leaving after three years of playing college football. It's crazy," Davis told the Orlando Sentinel. It was just a few years ago that Davis was the skinny kid at Sanford Seminole who was serving as back-up quarterback to his good friend Kaylan Wiggins, when Wiggins was injured and Davis was still just solidifying his role and position on the Sanford team. Wiggins is now a quarterback at FIU.

Davis, who has become one of the best receivers in college football in his three seasons as a starter at UCF, is having his best year as a Knight with 72 catches for 1,241 yards and 12 touchdowns. The Knights are 9-3 this season and still await their bowl invitation, which will be announced Sunday. Davis said, "as of right now," he plans to play in the bowl game. The 6-foot-3, 212-pound athlete hinted earlier this year this could be his final college season. He made the most of his opportunities. At UCF, Davis has been instrumental in the Knights' run to prominence, only losing four times in the 38 games he has played. During his UCF career, he has 152 catches, 2,447 yards and 23 touchdowns. - The Orlando Sentinel

12/01/19 - John Rhys Plumlee, rSr/2024, Central Florida, 6-0, 203 (DS#17 QB) + More +

Mississippi fired football coach Matt Luke on Sunday, three days after his third non-winning season ended with an excruciating rivalry game loss. Athletic director Keith Carter said in a statement the decision to change coaches was made after evaluating the trajectory of the program and not seeing see enough "momentum on the field." "While improvements were evident in certain aspects of the program, we are judged ultimately by our record, and, unfortunately, we did not meet the standard of success that we expect from our program," Carter said. Luke, a former Ole Miss offensive lineman and assistant coach, was elevated to interim head coach about two weeks before preseason practice started in 2017 when Mississippi fired Hugh Freeze.

Luke guided the Rebels, who were already banned from the postseason by the NCAA, to a 6-6 record that helped him land a four-year deal through 2021. With the program facing another bowl ban in 2018 and other NCAA sanctions, Luke and the Rebels went 5-7. Ole Miss finished this season 4-8 overall and 2-6 in the Southeastern Conference, including a 21-20 loss on Thanksgiving night to Mississippi State. Ole Miss receiver Elijah Moore scored a potential tying touchdown with seconds left in the Egg Bowl, but was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct after he pretended to urinate in the end zone like a dog. - AP College Football

Mississippi coach Matt Luke can't help but smile when he discusses the development and performance of his freshman class, especially at the skill positions. Ole Miss freshmen Snoop Conner, Jerrion Ealy and quarterback John Rhys Plumlee combined to rush for five touchdowns Saturday as the Rebels defeated New Mexico State 41-3. "Plumlee made plays consistently and managed the game well," Luke said. "He's still got some plays he can make, but it's fun to see our freshman running backs making plays for us."

Plumlee directed scoring drives on four of the opening five possessions as the Rebels (4-6) built an insurmountable 24-3 halftime lead. Plumlee rushed for 177 yards on 12 carries with scoring runs of 2 and 18 yards and finished 11 of 17 for 124 passing yards in a dominating performance that ended in the third quarter. "I was fortunate to break the line of scrimmage a few times," Plumlee said. "At the next level, there aren't as many guys you have to outrun, or make miss, or bob and weave to get free." Conner rushed for 109 yards on 13 carries, featuring a stylish 30-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and a 1-yard touchdown run in the third period. Ealy finished with 71 yards on 14 carries, including a touchdown run of 5 yards. The Rebels finished with 606 yards in total offense, including 447 on the ground. - Mississippi/AP College Football

Otis Anderson rushed for a career-high 205 yards, Bentavious Thompson scored two of Central Florida's five rushing touchdowns and the Knights ran away from Temple in the second half of a 63-21 victory on Saturday night. The Knights (6-2, 3-1 American Conference) scored 35 points in a 21-minute span of the second half. The first three touchdowns were a 73-yard pass, 34-yard run and 37-yard run.

Temple (5-3, 2-2) scored two touchdowns in the latter part of the second quarter.
