Rebels coach Lane Kiffin wasn’t totally thrilled with his quarterback, Jaxson Dart, after the 52-20 romp. Dart checked to a pass play with the game out of hand and his last pass as a Rebel turned into an unnneeded 69-yard touchdown. After the game, Kiffin was asked about his quarterback.

Jaxson Dart threw for 404 yards and four touchdowns in his final collegiate game, leading No. 16 Mississippi to a 52-20 romp over Duke in the Gator Bowl.
