Ole Miss finally dusted off its Bentley on Black Friday. 

The predictable result? Ulysses and Co. rolled to their fourth win in five seasons over rival Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl.

The No. 14-ranked Rebels finish the regular season 9-3 (5-3 SEC) and now turn to hopeful results elsewhere to boost their slim College Football Playoff chances.

The Ole Miss Spirit’s Ben Garrett has full postgame reaction from the 26-14 win, including a helmet sticker for third-year quarterback Jaxson Dart. Dart confirmed in his postgame comments he’s played his final game inside Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

Bentley, IV, received an unexpectedly-busy home sendoff. 

He was the team leader in carries (20) and rushing yards (136). Bentley, IV, burst free for an 89-yard touchdown — the longest run in the SEC this season. 

He’s now responsible for the Rebels’ two longest runs of the year. Bentley, IV, had a 50-yarder at LSU. 

Which, again, makes his usage in 2024 all the more perplexing. 

The Spirit pressed Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin earlier this week about Bentley, IV, specifically. Now we only have more questions after Kiffin FINALLY let his Bentley out of the garage.
