Overview
- Drew O'Connor, a former Ole Miss pole vaulter, proposed to Madison Barnette during a third-quarter timeout.
- A promotional field-goal contest set the stage as Barnette held the ball and O'Connor dropped to one knee instead of kicking.
- The couple said yes on the field as they were shown on the Vaught-Hemingway Stadium video board and the crowd cheered.
- Kiffin jogged over to congratulate them, joined a hug and a photo, then joked postgame that he briefly worried he had intruded, recalling a staffer saying, "It's Mississippi, they like that."
- No. 7 Ole Miss routed The Citadel 49-0, with Trinidad Chambliss going 29-for-33 for 333 yards and three touchdowns and Kewan Lacy rushing for three scores.
