Ole Miss returns home to Vaught-Hemingway stadium after their dramatic come-from-behind win in Little Rock over Arkansas last Saturday. The Rebels (5-2, 1-2 SEC) are looking for their their third straight win and second win in conference play.

They host a struggling Auburn (4-3, 1-3) that is coming off a stunning loss to Tennessee at home. The Tigers are fighting a stagnant offense with a patchwork offensive front.

The Rebels are facing the rest of the season without receiver D.K. Metcalf, who suffered a season-ending neck injury last week. Sophomore Braylon Sanders is stepping into Metcalf’s role for the duration of the season.

You can find live updates and scores once the Rebels and Tigers kickoff at 11 a.m. (ESPN).
