WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — When Mississippi wins the coin toss, coach Lane Kiffin said he’s almost always going to elect to receive.
That mentality sits just fine with quarterback Jaxson Dart.
Dart completed his first three passes on the opening drive, leading the Rebels 75 yards in five plays for a touchdown that set the tone on Saturday as the No. 5 Rebels rolled to a 40-6 win at Wake Forest.
“I love it, I love it,” Dart said. “It gives you the chance to set the mark on the game. I think when you play a tempo team like us, and we choose to take the ball and go down the field and score right away that can be demoralizing for a defense. You want to make a statement. I think that speaks to the confidence coach Kiffin has in us.”
