LAST MEETING
November, 19, 2016 - Vanderbilt 38, Ole Miss 17: Ole Miss scored the first 10 points of the game, but the Rebels couldn't overcome 31 unanswered points by Vanderbilt, falling 38-17 in Nashville. True freshman quarterback Shea Patterson made his second career start and linked up with tight end Evan Engram for 102 yards, but the Rebels couldn't establish an offensive rhythm in the road defeat.
September 26, 2015 - #3 Ole Miss 27, Vanderbilt 16 at Oxford: The Rebels entered the game with the nation's highest-scoring offense averaging 64.0 points per game, and scored just 20 points through the first three quarters, but No. 3 Ole Miss outlasted the Commodores 27-16 in front of a sellout crowd of 60,654 at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium to improve to 4-0 (2-0 SEC) on the season.
September 6, 2014 - #15 Ole Miss 41, Vanderbilt 3 at Nashville: No. 15 Ole Miss scored early and often, while the Rebel defense gave up only a field goal in the fourth quarter en route to a dominating 41-3 win over Vanderbilt in both teams' SEC opener. Bo Wallace threw for 320 yards and a touchdown to lead the charge. Ole Miss scored on seven of its first eight possessions with the shortest drive covering 67 yards, and the Rebels never punted.
August 29, 2013 - Ole Miss 39, Vanderbilt 35 at Nashville: Bo Wallace tied a career high of 31 completions of 47 attempts for 283 yards and WR Laquon Treadwell had his college debut with nine catches for 82 yards, the most catches by a Rebel since Mike Espy had nine against Auburn in 2005. The Rebels managed to snap Vanderbilt's three-game win streak in the series after scoring 29 points in the second half and securing the 39-35 victory.
November 10, 2012 - Vanderbilt 27, Ole Miss 26 at Oxford: Bo Wallace passed for a career-high 403 yards and Ja-Mes Logan had eight receptions for 160 yards - both career highs - but the Rebels couldn't hold on and fell to Vanderbilt 27-26. Vanderbilt scored 14 unanswered points in the third quarter to cut the Rebels' lead to three points.
