Ole Miss Kicks Off Season Sunday Night
5 Sep
Summary
- Ole Miss opens season Sunday, Sept. 6, against Louisville.
- The game will be played at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
- Pete Golding begins his first regular season as head coach.
The Ole Miss football team is gearing up for their season opener against Louisville, scheduled for Sunday, September 6th, at 6:30 p.m. CT. This rare Sunday night game will be broadcast on ABC and held at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, as part of the Music City Kickoff. It is notable as one of only three FBS games taking place on that particular day.
This season marks a significant milestone as it is the first regular season under head coach Pete Golding. He took the helm after Lane Kiffin's departure for LSU, and previously led Ole Miss to the College Football Playoff semifinals in the Fiesta Bowl. The Rebels return a strong core, including preseason All-SEC first-team selections quarterback Trinidad Chambliss and running back Kewan Lacy, for whom Heisman campaigns have already begun.
On defense, Ole Miss will be led by returning players Will Echoles and Suntarine Perkins. The full schedule includes matchups against notable opponents like LSU and Georgia, as well as conference play against Texas, Auburn, and Mississippi State.
