The Ole Miss Rebels had multiple players who could have called it quits early in the Gator Bowl, but they opted to continue playing.

Ole Miss was a 17 1/2-point favorite, according to BetMGM, mostly because the Blue Devils (9-4) were without quarterback Maalik Murphy and running back Star Thomas. Both entered the transfer portal after Duke’s regular-season finale.

Lane Kiffin wasn't happy with his quarterback Jaxson Dart for calling a pass play late in Thursday's 52-20 Gator Bowl win over Duke. The Blue Devils returned the favor to the Rebels with a dazzling trick play for a touchdown on the kickoff.
