Ole Miss will return home to an afternoon kickoff Oct. 14.

The Rebels’ game against Vanderbilt will begin at 2:30 p.m. and be televised on the SEC Network, the SEC announced Monday. The Commodores start a three-game homestand for the Rebels, who haven’t played at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium since Sept. 9.

Vanderbilt, Ole Miss’ permanent Eastern Division opponent, won last year’s meeting 38-17 in Nashville, Tennessee.

Ole Miss will wrap up its three-game road trip Saturday against No. 13 Auburn. The Rebels will be trying to bounce back from a 66-3 loss at No. 1 Alabama.
