WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — When Mississippi wins the coin toss, coach Lane Kiffin said he’s almost always going to elect to receive. That mentality sits just fine with quarterback Jaxson Dart.
"Our guys played really hard." – Coach Clawson 🗣️

Dart completed his first three passes on the opening drive, leading the Rebels 75 yards in five plays for a touchdown that set the tone on Saturday as the No. 5 Rebels rolled to a 40-6 win at Wake Forest. “I love it, I love it,” Dart said. “It gives you the chance to set the mark on the game. I think when you play a tempo team like us, and we choose to take the ball and go down the field and score right away that can be demoralizing for a defense. You want to make a statement. I think that speaks to the confidence coach Kiffin has in us.”
The senior quarterback passed for 377 yards and two touchdowns and Henry Parrish Jr. rushed for 148 yards and two TDs. Dart was 26 for 34, and he also had a 13-yard touchdown run. Tre Harris had another monster game with 11 catches for 127 yards, and Jordan Watkins caught a 75-yard TD pass as the Rebels (3-0) outgained the Demon Deacons 650-311.

The Rebels defense limited Wake Forest (1-2) to 46 yards on the ground on 32 carries and kept their third straight opponent out of the end zone. The Demon Deacons only had one run longer than 10 yards — and that resulted in a fumble by Ty Clark.
