The Rebels jumped out to a 17-10 first-half lead behind two Eli Manning touchdown passes to Tremaine Turner and Mike Espy, as well as a Jonathan Nicholas field goal. Ole Miss then added two more touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters on rushes from Turner and Manning, respectively. Those scores put Ole Miss up 31-14 to start the fourth quarter. Oklahoma State did attempt to mount a comeback, scoring two fourth quarter touchdowns to cut the lead down to three points, but the Rebels were able to hold on from there, earning the 31-28 win. Manning finished the game completing 22 of 31 passes for 259 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. It was Turner who ended the game as the real star for the Rebels, though, rushing 20 times for 133 yards and one score, and catching a second touchdown.4. 2023 Peach Bowl - Ole Miss 38 Penn State 25Dec 30, 2023; Atlanta, GA, USA; Mississippi Rebels quarterback Jaxson Dart (2) holds the Peach Bowl trophy as wide receiver Tre Harris (9) catches the top after a victory against the Penn State Nittany Lions at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
