LIVE! FROM VHS: Real time updates from Ole Miss

Ole Miss back home for the first time in three weeks after a bye and trip to Auburn and the No. 12 Rebels are set to close out October with a Homecoming celebration.

Before the calendar flips Ole Miss (6-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) must take care of visiting Vanderbilt to secure its fourth conference win and keep on track for a potentially big November finish.

After back-to-back-to-back games against Alabama, LSU, Arkansas and the aforementioned Tigers there is the potential for a letdown game for the Rebels with Vanderbilt (2-6, 0-4) but Lane Kiffin is making sure his team is not looking beyond this Saturday.

“They’ve battled through some injuries on defense,” Kiffin said of the Commodores. “I think they’re really, really well-coached. They gave us problems last year, especially in the first half. They do a good job of knowing what they do and what they have and utilizing it. We’ve got to keep improving, we’ve got to put together a complete game. We need to get more players playing well.”

Ole Miss is getting its run game back in form over the last month with a healthy Quinshon Judkins being complimented by a Ulysses Bentley IV that is running with a purpose this season.

On defense freshman linebacker Suntarine Perkins is adapting to his first season in the SEC very well and even surprising Kiffin and defensive coordinator Pete Golding midway through the year. Perkins leads the Rebels in sacks with 3.5, tying with defensive end Isaac Okwu.

“We knew (Perkins) was really special. I don’t know if there was anyway to know he was this electric fast,” Kiffin said. “Now you’ve seen him at different times catch two of the fastest quarterbacks in America. He’s just really, really special and a phenomenal kid.
