Photo Gallery 3:52 p.m.: The game ends with Ole Miss picking up a 59-0 shutout victory over ULM. The Rebels are now 6-4 and bowl eligible for the first time since the 2003 season when they went to Cotton Bowl. 3:40 p.m.: Some records of note with today's performance: It's the most points since winning 59-14 over Louisiana-Monroe in 2003. Jevan Snead is the first Rebel to be responsible for 5 TDs in a game since Eli Manning was responsible for 6 against Arkansas in 2001. 3:27 p.m.: Today's attendance: 43,665 3:24 p.m.: Enrique Davis runs up the middle for a short-yardage TD. Shene's extra point makes it 59-0. 3:05 p.m.: Cordera Eason has broken the century mark for rushing yards on the afternoon. It is the second 100-yard performance of his career, with the first coming last game against Auburn. 3:02 p.m.: After not seeing an open receiver, Snead runs the ball in from nine yards for his career-high second rushing TD of the game. His five total TDs on the afternoon are also a career high. 2:54 p.m.: Snead now has three passing TDs and a rushing TD. The last time he had four scores in a game was when he passed for four at Wake Forest earlier this season. 2:50 p.m.: Rebels pick up right where they left off, scoring points on their first drive of the second half with a 3-yard pass from Snead to Derrick Davis, putting Ole Miss up 45-0. Davis scores a touchdown for the second straight game. 2:23 p.m.: Halftime score: UM 38, ULM 0. Some items of interest: Ole Miss leads in first downs 14-4 and total yards 341-63. Mike Wallace has already posted his sixth career 100-yard receiving game and his third this year. Jevan Snead is 5-for-10 passing for 167 yards and 2 TDs, while also tacking on a 1-yard TD run. The last time Ole Miss scored 38 points in a half was vs. Southern Illinois in 1994, when the Rebels were up 38-3 en route to a 59-3 victory. It is the largest halftime lead since a 40-0 advantage on Memphis in 1980 on the way to a 61-7 Rebel victory. 2:07 p.m.: Snead takes a QB sneak into the endzone and Shene adds the PAT to put Ole Miss up 35-0. The Rebels are aiming for their biggest margin of victory since a 55-0 beating of Arkansas State in 2003. The Rebels' last shutout was a 24-0 blanking of Louisiana Tech last year. 2:05 p.m.: Snead connects with Wallace on a 10-yard stop pattern, but Wallace uses blazing speed to get all the way to the ULM 3 for an 88-yard play, the longest pass play in the Rebels' storied history. The previous record was set just a few weeks earlier this year with Snead and Shay Hodge's 86-yard touchdown play at Florida. 1:59 p.m.: Check out the photo gallery link above for great pics from pre-game ceremonies!

After taking a pitch from Snead on the right side of the field, McCluster dances around and then breaks back all the way to the left side where he runs behind a bevy of blockers for 25 yards to pay dirt. 1:45 p.m.: Snead passes for another TD, this time a 23-yard connection with Mike Wallace on a fade route to the front corner of the endzone. The Rebels took just four plays to go 37 yards on the scoring drive after a ULM punt and penalty. It's Snead's sixth multi-touchdown passing game of the year. 1:35 p.m.: Ole Miss scores on the first play of the second quarter, a 22-yard touchdown pass from Jevan Snead to TE Gerald Harris, as Harris makes a couple of moves and rumbles into the endzone. The TD is Harris' second of the season. 1:31 p.m.: End of first quarter: Ole Miss has relied heavily on its running game early on. Of the Rebels' 121 total offensive yards, 112 have come by the run and only 9 by the pass. Eason finishes the quarter with 58 yards on the ground and Dexter McCluster with 49. 1:22 p.m.: The weather just isn't getting any better. As it gets colder and colder, now a light drizzle begins and many fans head for shelter under the club level luxury box decks. 1:07 p.m.: Cordera Eason leads an impressive opening drive for the Rebels and scores the first points of the game on a 17-yard touchdown run down the left sideline. Eason is coming off his first career 100-yard rushing game (vs. Auburn) and is averaging 92.5 rush yards over his last 2 games. Ole Miss scoring drive: 9 plays, 72 yards. 1:03 p.m.: Former walk-on Andy Hartmann earns his first career start at fullback for the still-recovering Jason Cook. 1:00 p.m.: In a tribute to American soldiers across the world serving on the front lines, the Hotty Toddy is performed by a member of the armed forces, 2006 Ole Miss alum 1st lieutenant Jake Todd from Henderson, Ky. 12:58 p.m.: Ole Miss wins the toss and elects to receive the opening kickoff. 12:57 p.m.: The Rebels run on to the field in blue jerseys. Captains for Ole MIss are Michael Oher, Peria Jerry, Jamarca Sanford and Jason Cook. 12:52 p.m.: As the crowd still files in on a bitterly cold, overcast afternoon in Oxford, the men's glee octet performs a nice rendition of the national anthem.
