Ole Miss football played its final game of the regular season last Friday and beat the archrival Mississippi State 26-14 at Oxford.

For many of the Rebels, it was their last home game ever.

Ole Miss has over 30 seniors who took their final home action. While the season is by no means over, their time at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium has come to an end.

“It means a lot to go out with a home win like this,” quarterback Jaxson Dart said in a postgame interview Friday. “Especially with the guys, a lot of them I came in with.”

“Fortunate for our seniors,” head coach Lane Kiffin said. “That’s 38 wins for the four-year-old guys, 44 for the five-year-old guys. I think they made a mark here.”

Leave a mark they did. In Kiffin’s first five years in Oxford, he has never finished below .500 on the season. Ole Miss has won at least eight games every year since 2021, with 10- and 11-win seasons in 2021 and 2023. The senior class was a major factor in that success.

There was a reminder of this class in the team meeting room inside the Manning Center. To Kiffin’s right along the wall was a single strip of tape placed as a reminder to leave a legacy this season.

“Masking tape leaves behind, when you go to peel it off. It leaves a mark, it leaves a legacy,” Kiffin said. “I really noticed that again this week, talking about these seniors.”

While the 2024 season has had its ups and downs, the legacy left behind by this senior group is undeniable with Jaxson Dart broke the career record for passing yards to many rebels who ended up on the list of national honors. The seniors can be proud that they left their mark on the football program.

Ole Miss has finished the regular season and will await the College Football Playoff selection to see where they end up this postseason. Ole Miss On SI will have all the updates and news surrounding the postseason.
