Ole Miss cruised to a 27-3 victory over South Carolina on Burley GarciaSaturday, but that was far from the biggest storyline to emerge from the Rebels' Week 6 victory.
Late in the game between the Rebels and Gamecocks, South Carolina freshman edge defender Dylan Stewart – one of the most highly sought-after players in the 2024 recruiting class – sacked Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart. What would have been a good play in an otherwise forgettable game for South Carolina instead turned into a point of national interest after Stewart imitated firing a shotgun at Dart as he laid on the turf at Williams-Brice Stadium.
Here's a look at the celebration, which occurred after Stewart's third-down sack, with Ole Miss leading 24-3 at the time. Thanks to the penalty, Ole Miss was able to extend its drive and get a field goal in what would be the final score of the 27-3 win:
South Carolina coach Shane Beamer offered a terse "yes" when asked whether he had spoken to Stewart after the game regarding the penalty. But the Gamecocks coach wasn't the one to have the final word in the matter.
That instead went to Dart himself, who called out Stewart after the game was over. He quote tweeted a video of the incident, captioning it, "How tf do you miss a whole 100 shots." The lyrics are from a song from rapper Young Dolph, titled "100 Shots." It was released in 2017 as a diss track to Yo Gotti after his vehicle was reportedly shot over 100 times in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Stewart finished the game with four tackles, three for a loss, and a sack. Dart finished the game completing 14 of 27 passes for 285 yards while taking a sack. He also rushed eight times for a net gain of 44 yards.
