Mississippi 31, Southeast
Missouri State 13: Bo Wallace threw for 188 yards and two touchdowns
in less than a half of work as the Rebels ran out to a big lead and
cruised to an easy victory over the visiting Redhawks.
Mississippi (2-0) scored all of
its points in the first half, then got the reserves a lot of work against
its FCS opponent. The Rebels outgained the Redhawks 532-252,
including a 272-93 disparity on the ground.
Scott Lathrop went 16-of-24 for
159 yards and two touchdowns for Southeast Missouri State (0-2), but
much of his production came after the game had already been decided.
The Rebels jumped out to a 17-0
lead after one quarter on an Andrew Ritter 37-yard field goal, Barry Brunetti's 4-yard touchdown run and Wallace's 64-yard strike to Evan Engram.
Wallace kept things rolling in
the second quarter with a 67-yard touchdown pass to Donte Moncrief,
which was followed up by I'Tavius Mather's 10-yard scoring run midway
through the second quarter.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Three different players completed passes for Mississippi, which took Wallace out
of the game in the first half because of the score, not an
injury. … Brunetti led the Rebels with 111 yards on 18 carries. …
Mississippi hits the road for three straight games, starting with a
date against Texas next Saturday.
