Ole Miss offensive notes: Corral stands alone in SEC history

The final numbers are in on the Rebels’ epic offensive showing at Vanderbilt on Saturday. And, yeah, they’re staggering. Let’s take a look, courtesy of Ole Miss Sports Information.

- Ole Miss quarterbacks threw for a school-record seven touchdown passes (six by Matt Corral and one by John Rhys Plumlee) ... The previous record was six (Sept. 17, 1960 vs. Houston; Nov. 3, 2001 vs. Arkansas).

- Corral became the first player in SEC history to finish a game with six passing touchdowns and a 90 percent completion percentage.

- The Rebels produced 35 first downs and 641 yards of total offense … The first downs fell one shy of the school record, while the yards were the second-most ever in an SEC game (647 vs. Alabama earlier this year).

- Ole Miss scored touchdowns on eight of its first nine drives … The only one that did not result in a touchdown was a bad snap on the final play of the first half.

- Ole Miss scored a season-high 54 points, the most in an SEC game since a 57-35 victory over Vanderbilt (Oct. 14, 2017).

- Corral completed 31-of-34 passes for 412 yards and six touchdowns … Corral's 91.2 completion percentage was an SEC record with a minimum of 30 attempts, tying Tennessee's Joshua Dobbs.

- Corral completed 19 consecutive pass attempts to begin the game, breaking Eli Manning's school record (2001 vs. Murray State).

- Corral's six touchdown passes tied Eli Manning's single-game record (Nov. 3, 2001 vs. Arkansas) .... It is the most TDs in regulation as five of Manning's six touchdowns in 2001 came in OT.

- Corral threw for a career-high 412 yards, his first 400-yard game and fourth 300-yard game of the season as well as his career.

- Elijah Moore hauled in 14 receptions for 238 yards and three touchdowns, all school records … The receptions tied a school record alongside AJ Brown (Nov. 11, 2017 vs. Louisiana) and Laquon Treadwell (Oct. 17, 2015 vs. Memphis) … The previous record for yards was 233 by AJ Brown (Sept. 2, 2017 vs. South Alabama) … A Rebel has had a game with 3 receiving TDs 10 times throughout history.

- Moore's game was the sixth time a Rebel WR had at least 200 yards receiving … Moore has two of those games, the only Rebel to accomplish that in school history ... He joined AJ Brown as the only Ole Miss WRs with multiple 200-yard receiving games over a career.

- It was Moore's 8th 100-yard receiving game of his career (fourth this season), passing Evan Engram for fifth most by an Ole Miss Rebel.

- Moore moved to fifth on all-time receptions list (164), passing Evan Engram (162) and Donte Moncrief (156).
