Recap

Ole Miss dominated the first half behind Matt Corral and a powerful ground game, scoring a touchdown pass to Dontario Drummond in the first quarter and adding a field goal to take a 13-0 lead into halftime. Texas A&M mounted a second-half comeback, with Devon Achane punching in a touchdown run in the third quarter and Seth Small adding field goals to make it competitive. The game turned in the fourth quarter when Ole Miss's Snoop Conner scored on a 13-yard run to extend the lead, but Texas A&M's Calzada threw two crucial interceptions—including a 52-yard pick-six to AJ Finley—that sealed the Rebels' 29-19 victory and their claim to the belt.

Matt Corral's 2-yard touchdown pass to Dontario Drummond in Q1 gave Ole Miss an early 10-3 lead
Snoop Conner's 13-yard touchdown run in Q4 pushed Ole Miss back ahead 26-16
AJ Finley's 52-yard pick-six in Q4 provided the decisive score in Ole Miss's 29-19 belt-clinching victory
