ATLANTA (AP) Matt Corral threw for 381 yards and accounted for two touchdowns, Snoop Conner ran for a pair of scores and Mississippi romped to a 43-24 victory over Louisville on Monday night.
Corral completed 22 of 32 passes, including a 6-yard touchdown to Dontario Drummond. The Ole Miss quarterback also ran 6 yards for a score, while Drummond finished with 177 yards on nine receptions.
Louisville quarterback Malik Cunningham ran for two TDs and passed for another, all of his production came in the second half with the outcome no longer in doubt.
Louisville coach Scott Satterfield conceded that his team was caught off guard by the changes in Ole Miss' defensive scheme.
''Sometimes when you're playing a first opponent, you don't know exactly the things they're going to be doing defensively,'' he said. ''We never got into a rhythm in the first half.''
