1 week agoMiami's Lewis encourages Lacy, resilient Rebels
Ole Miss overcame a midseason coaching departure and injuries to reach its first playoff and a school-record 13 wins despite a narrow Fiesta Bowl loss.
Lacy, who is second in the FBS with 21 rushing touchdowns and second in the SEC with 1,366 rushing yards, injured his shoulder in the first half of the No. 6 Rebels' 41-10 victory against Tulane in a CFP first-round game on Dec. 20. Lacy's availability was one of the biggest storylines heading into Thursday's contest. He scored two touchdowns and ran for 31 yards in a 43-35 loss at Georgia on Oct. 11.
