Coming off its first SEC series sweep in the Josh Elander era, Tennessee will look to continue its recent run of success against the Mississippi schools as it hosts No. 22/25 Ole Miss this Friday through Sunday at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
The Big Orange have won five straight entering this weekend's series, including a series sweep on the road against No. 8/9 Mississippi State last weekend in Starkville. The Rebels are also coming off a sweep, taking all three at home against LSU last weekend in Oxford.
