Ole Miss Faces Vanderbilt in SEC Football Matchup

No. 9 Ole Miss travels to FirstBank Stadium to face Vanderbilt on Saturday, October 10, 2026, in an NCAA College Football matchup as the Rebels look to recover from their first loss of the season and improve their SEC position.

According to Sports Yahoo, the game is scheduled for 3:30 PM EDT and will be broadcast on ESPN. The matchup can also be streamed through available live television platforms.

Ole Miss enters the game with a 3-1 record after suffering a 52-28 defeat against Florida two weeks earlier, according to Sports Yahoo. The Rebels have won five consecutive meetings against Vanderbilt and are seeking another victory in the series.

The loss to Florida was the first setback for head coach Pete Golding in his current role, according to Sports Yahoo. Ole Miss used its bye week to prepare for the trip to Nashville and address issues from the previous game.

Vanderbilt will try to protect a 10-game home winning streak, but the Commodores are monitoring the availability of quarterback Jared Curtis. Sports Yahoo reported that the freshman quarterback has been recovering from an undisclosed injury suffered during the Week 4 loss to Auburn.

Backup quarterback Blaze Berlowitz could start if Curtis is unable to return against Ole Miss. Vanderbilt previously held Curtis out of the Week 5 loss at No. 2 Georgia, according to Sports Yahoo.

Ole Miss is also expected to regain a key offensive contributor with running back Kewan Lacy returning after missing the Florida game. According to Sports Yahoo, Lacy recovered from a left shoulder injury sustained during the win over LSU after using the bye week to continue his rehabilitation.

Lacy and quarterback Trinidad Chambliss are tied with four rushing touchdowns each, giving Ole Miss another option in its offensive attack, according to Sports Yahoo.
