"We look forward to representing our university on this national stage against a top-10 opponent in Indiana," said Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin. "The Outback Bowl is a premier postseason destination, and I'm excited for our players to experience this trip. Tampa is a special place for our family. My parents spent many years there, and I attended a number of games in the Big Sombrero when I was younger. It will be great to be back in the Bay."
"It is a tremendous honor to play in the 35thOutback Bowl against a great opponent in Ole Miss, stated Indiana head coach Tom Allen. "Our players, coaching staff, medical staff and everyone associated with our team worked hard to navigate through this difficult season, and I am so happy everyone is getting rewarded for their efforts. Making our second-straight January bowl game shows where we are at as a program, and we are not done yet. We look forward to one more opportunity to represent Hoosier Nation."
