Preseason
Coaching changes
Head coach Matt Luke bolstered his coaching staff with the hiring of two former Power 5 head coaches to coordinator positions prior to the 2019 season. The school announced the hiring of Mike MacIntyre to be the new defensive coordinator on December 10, 2018,[1] and announced the hiring of Rich Rodriguez as the new offensive coordinator on December 31.[2] MacIntyre had spent the previous six seasons as the head coach at Colorado and replaced 2018 co-defensive coordinators Wesley McGriff and Jason Jones, who both parted ways with Ole Miss. Rodriguez was most recently the head coach of Arizona, leaving after the 2017 season, and has also coached at West Virginia and Michigan. He replaced former offensive coordinator Phil Longo, who left to assume the same role at North Carolina.[3]

The Rebels were trailing 21–14 late in the 4th quarter before quarterback Matt Corral capped a 82-yard, 2:02 drive with a 2-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Elijah Moore with just 4 seconds left in the game to make the deficit 21–20. Following the touchdown, Moore would drop down to his knees, crawl to the back of the end zone, and lift his leg, pretending to urinate like a dog; Ole Miss would receive a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for Moore's celebration on the ensuing point-after-attempt (PAT).[12] Ole Miss kicker Luke Logan would miss the PAT and the Rebels failed to recover the onside kick, sealing the one-point victory for the Bulldogs.[13]
