In a tightly contested matchup, the Oxford Ole Miss secured a 28-21 victory over Seattle Washington in Week 5 of the 2026 season. The win was crucial for Ole Miss as they look to solidify their standing in the league, keeping their playoff hopes alive with this hard-fought triumph. Jaxson Dart was the standout performer for the Ole Miss offense, throwing for 204 yards and two touchdowns. He efficiently distributed the ball, with Malik Nabers leading the receiving corps, racking up 97 yards. On the ground, Cam Skattebo contributed significantly with 69 rushing yards, helping to maintain a balanced attack that kept the Seattle defense on its heels throughout the game. Defensively, Colton Hood was a game-changer for Ole Miss, making his mark with two crucial interceptions that helped swing momentum in his team's favor. Seattle's defense, led by Amik Robertson's six tackles and Odafe Oweh's sack, was solid but couldn't contain the Ole Miss offense when it mattered most. The turning point came late in the fourth quarter when Hood's second interception set up a touchdown drive that sealed the victory for Oxford.
