With soon-to-be Florida head coach Jon Sumrall on the other side, Ole Miss walloped the Green Wave 41-10 Saturday. They even overcame a brief Trinidad Chambliss scare to spark title thoughts.
The SEC Network reacted with a "what a start to the Golding era" post on the social media website X, formerly Twitter.
The Ole Miss account called it a "victory sweet like sugar," referencing the Rebels' upcoming appearance in the Sugar Bowl. Golding even received a standing ovation as he walked off the Vaught-Hemingway Stadium field.
Meanwhile, Ole Miss fans have complete trust that Golding, not Kiffin, is the right guy to lead a national championship run in Oxford.

Golding already holds this mark over Kiffin: Most playoff wins compared to the former Rebels head coach.
But he sent this profound postgame message to his players captured by Brad Logan of On3/Rivals: "You're playing to play again. Don't let the season end."
Meanwhile, one fan trolled the previous head coach with a "Kiffin who?" post. Others commented on the atmosphere inside the "Vaught."
Now Ole Miss gets a familiar face during New Year's weekend: Georgia.
The same Bulldogs that handed Ole Miss its only loss of the season — a 43-35 one back on Oct. 18. Both now have a trip to the semifinals on the line.
