    OXFORD, Miss. ( WJTV ) – Ole Miss football seniors Jaxson Dart (Co-Offensive Player of the Week) and Jared Ivey (Co-Defensive Lineman of the Week) both earned weekly awards from the SEC office.

    Dart is coming off another excellent passing performance in Ole Miss’ 40-6 victory at Wake Forest , where he ended the night 26-of-34 for 377 yards and two touchdowns passing. He also added 35 yards and a score on the ground on six attempts, adding to his status as the FBS leader in total offense at 408.7 yards per game.

    According to Ole Miss Athletics, Dart’s two passing touchdowns pushed him past Chad Kelly for fifth all-time at Ole Miss with 51, and his streak of consecutive passes without an interception was snapped at 177, surpassing Eli Manning for fourth-longest in program history.

    Ivey charted his best performance of the season against the Demon Deacons, ranking second on the team with six tackles, recording one QB hurry and leading the team with two of Ole Miss’ four sacks on the night. Ivey, who currently ranks as PFF’s top-rated edge rusher nationally, is Ole Miss’ active career leader in sacks with 11.0.
