LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kewan Lacy ran for 138 yards and a touchdown to help No. 20 Mississippi beat Kentucky 30-23 on Saturday in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.

The Rebels (2-0) avenged a 20-17 loss to the Wildcats last year in Oxford and have won four of the past five games against Kentucky. The Wildcats (1-1) have lost eight consecutive conference games dating to last season.

“To come on the road in the SEC and win is hard,” Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin said. “That game toward the end was like last year, but all three phases went our way this year.”

Lacy and quarterback Austin Simmons accounted for 376 of 457 total yards of offense. Simmons threw for 235 yards and overcame a pair of interceptions that resulted in an early 10-0 deficit.
