Ole Miss secured a 41-38 victory over Louisville on September 6 after kicker Lucas Carneiro converted a 48-yard field goal as time expired. The successful kick followed an earlier miss by Carneiro from 46 yards out, prompting head coach Pete Golding to offer encouragement to the kicker before the final attempt. The Rebels maintained a 10-9 lead at halftime and briefly held a two-possession lead in the second half before Louisville tied the game late in regulation. This contest marked Golding’s first regular season game as head coach since taking over the position late last year. Ole Miss is scheduled to host Charlotte on September 12, followed by a matchup against LSU on September 19. The team continues to navigate off-field investigations and roster eligibility concerns as the early season progresses.
