A win (will) be a huge deal for the Rebels' program.
Ole Miss (5-4) can become bowl eligible with a win, assuring that the Rebels would lock up a spot somewhere in the postseason. The Chick-fil-A and Music City bowls are their most likely destinations.
Of course, when you haven't been to a bowl game in five years, nobody is being picky.
"It's hard to put into words," said first-year Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt, talking about the importance of playing in a bowl game. "It's hard for me to believe that not one of our guys, if you were to put them all in a meeting room, not one of them can raise their hand and say, 'I've received gifts. I've had the experience of bowl week at such and such a place.'
"They can't do that. It's just big. That's why we've had such good practices the last two weeks. They smell it. They feel it. They know they're close, but they also know you have to execute. You've got to play football. You've got to be a smart team."
