'Ole Miss upsets into Sugar Bowl
NEW ORLEANS (UPI)—Ole Miss' giant killing Rebels will carry their football war to the Southwest Conference in the Sugar Bowl New Year's Day, facing the loser of the Dec. 6 Texas Arkansas contest.
The winner of the Texas-Arkansas matchup at Fayetteville, Ark., will win the Southwest conference and take on Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl. Both teams are currently unbeaten in eight games this season.
The Rebels, 6-3 so far this season, got their 13th consecutive bowl bid on the strength of their stunning 38-0 shellacking of third-ranked and previously unbeaten Tennessee last week. The Rebs also bowled over favored Georgia and Louisiana State University to grab the Sugar bid.
Mississippi, led by junior quarterback Archie Manning, lost to Kentucky, Alabama and Houston. They have only to face Mississippi State complete their regular season and should wind up with a 7-3 final record.
"The team is delighted," Mississippi Coach Johnny Vaught said in a conference call after learning of the bowl bid. "We are thankful and happy to have the opportunity to play either of them (Texas or Arkansas). They are two of the finest teams in America, without a doubt."
