A 30-point win over Auburn, and Ole Miss fans spent it auditing the depth chart and cursing the refs.
The emotional rollercoaster
Ole Miss fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Ole Miss beat Auburn 45-15 to reach 6-2, and the fanbase celebrated by filing grievances. The turning point was the emergence of Shekai Mills-Knight and Caleb Cunningham, which fans read less as a discovery than an indictment: it "took WAY too long" for the staff to notice. The running game "looked good without Lacy for the first time this season," the defense "can't stop a 3rd and long," and the refs drew fist-shaking threats. Some fanbases need a loss to suffer; this one manages fine with a 30-point win.
What fans said
“My big takeaway is that it took WAY too long for our coaching staff to realize Shekai Mills-Knight and Caleb Cunningham should be considered as starters.”

“Seriously, the running game looked good without Lacy for the first time this season. Really makes you wonder how the coaches are evaluating in practices.”

“Fuck this defense man. How do you have a defensive head coach and your defense looks like trash week after week?”
