That’s three straight punts for Ole Miss in the second half.
Austin Flynn makes a great play on third down…junior college transfer finally shining on defense.

Another 4th down call…4th and 3 from the Ole Miss 4…who else Cobi Hamilton…28 yards on a cross route….Hogs in redzone.
Dennis Johnson on 3rd and 10 on his own 5 bails out the Hogs. If they punt there Ole Miss had excellent chance to distance them selves.

Gutsy Paul Petrino goes for 4th and 11 on Ole Miss 35 and gets it….Cobi Hamilton on a post.
