Ole Miss DT Robert Nkemdiche catches a TD pass (Video)
The Ole Miss Rebels are having no issues offensively in their home opener against Tennessee-Martin, and they’re getting plenty of guys involved.
Among the eight Rebels who have caught a pass in the first half is Robert Nkemdiche.

That’s right – the junior All-SEC defensive tackle lined up as a fullback on a third-down play and was hit in stride by Ryan Buchanan for a 31-yard touchdown.
Just look at that big man run!
Nkemdiche is 6-foot-4 and 296 pounds, but he’s obviously an incredible athlete.
Is that a wrinkle the Rebels will show on offense throughout the season? Good luck tackling that guy, SEC defenses.
Nkemdiche’s touchdown gave the Rebels a 34-0 lead late in the first half. They should have no trouble closing this one out and opening up the season with a win.
