Through 2 Quarters
The Ole Miss Rebels have exploded for 33 points against Vanderbilt's defense, already eclipsing their previous tally against the Auburn Tigers last week. Ole Miss is way out in front at halftime with a 33-14 lead over Vanderbilt.
WR Elijah Moore has led the way so far for the Rebels, as he has caught 12 passes for three TDs and 223 yards. Vanderbilt has been relying on QB Ken Seals, who has passed for two TDs and 158 yards on 18 attempts, and TE Ben Bresnahan, who has caught four passes for one TD and 61 yards.
Ole Miss' lead doesn't mean much since they have only won 0% games in which they are up at the end of the second quarter. We'll see how things play out.

What to Know
The Vanderbilt Commodores have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They will play host again and welcome the Ole Miss Rebels to Vanderbilt Stadium, where kick-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET Saturday. Both teams have had a rocky road up to this point with three consecutive losses apiece.
The Commodores suffered a grim 41-7 defeat to the South Carolina Gamecocks three weeks ago. Vanderbilt was down 27-7 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. One thing holding Vanderbilt back was the mediocre play of QB Ken Seals, who did not have his best game: he passed for only 148 yards on 24 attempts.
Ole Miss came within a touchdown against the Auburn Tigers last week, but they wound up with a 35-28 loss. A silver lining for Ole Miss was the play of QB Matt Corral, who passed for one TD and 154 yards on 27 attempts in addition to rushing for two TDs and 88 yards.
Vanderbilt is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Their home turf has been no bettor's paradise, as they've failed to beat the spread in two of their two home games.
The Commodores found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 31-6 punch to the gut against the Rebels when the two teams previously met in October of last year. Maybe Vanderbilt will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the matchup and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
