Mississippi Rebels vs Tulane Green Wave Box Score on Sep 22, 2012

Mississippi 39, Tulane 0: Jeff Scott rushed for 62 yards and a pair of touchdowns and Mississippi posted its first shutout in four years as the Rebels coasted to a non-conference win in New Orleans.

Ole Miss (3-1) outgained Tulane 183-14 in total offense in the first quarter en route to a 26-0 lead as the Rebels beat the Green Wave (0-3) for the 11th straight time.

The shutout was the first for Ole Miss since a 45-0 win over archrival Mississippi State in 2008.

After Scott scored on a 13-yard touchdown run on the Rebels' first possession, Ja-Mes Logan raced 14 yards for a score on a reverse to make it 12-0 with 6:24 left in the quarter.

Ole Miss broke it open with two scores in the final four minutes, the first on a 28-yard run by Randall Mackey and then a 23-yard touchdown pass from Bo Wallace to Donte Moncrief with 1:24 remaining. Wallace, who was just 7 of 16 passing for 101 yards, left in the third quarter because of a shoulder injury. His status for next week's game at No. 1 Alabama is day to day.

Tulane freshman quarterback Devin Powell, making his first career start in place of injured senior Ryan Griffin, struggled all day. Powell was 22-for-41 for 145 yards with three interceptions and was sacked three times. Ole Miss held the Green Wave to only 14 yards rushing and 159 yards of total offense.
