Historic season finish and Jaxson Dart's standout performance

The Peach Bowl triumph marked a historic finish to Ole Miss's season under Lane Kiffin's leadership. The 11-2 record is their best in the Kiffin era.

Jaxson Dart, in his second season as the team's starting quarterback, accumulated 2,985 passing yards and 20 touchdowns in the r egular season.

He completed 25 of 40 passes for an impressive 379 yards and 3 touchdowns in the Peach Bowl. His exceptional performance, complemented by the offensive trio of tight end Caden Prieskorn, wideout Tre Harris and running back Quinshon Judkins, propelled Ole Miss to 540 offensive yards.

While the Rebels' offense commanded attention, the defensive unit, under the guidance of coordinator Pete Golding, played a pivotal role in the l triumph. Overcoming early challenges, the defense made crucial adjustments in the second half, forcing three consecutive three-and-outs.

Zxavian Harris's field goal block and Jared Ivey's fumble recovery were the cherry on top for a defense that limited Penn State to just eight points in the second half.
