Ole Miss Football finishes 8-4 after disappointing end to 2022 season
November 28, 2022
The Ole Miss football team would end their season at an overall record of 8-4, and would finish 4th in the SEC West with a record of 4-4 in the conference. The Rebels would begin the year at a dominant 7-0 record and climb to #7 in the country. Unfortunately, they would hit a tough stretch of games and lose the last 4 of 5 remaining games on the schedule, all of which would be to foes in the SEC West. On a positive note, the Rebels have a bright future with the two major components of their offense being young, key stars. Quarterback Jackson Dart is only a sophomore and running back Quinshon Judkins was one of the nation’s top scorers as a true freshman.
