By Nick Bromberg, Senior Writer, Yahoo Sports: How real of a Heisman contender is Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart?

The senior is now the No. 5 favorite for the Heisman at BetMGM at +2000 after he threw six touchdowns in the Rebels’ blowout win over Arkansas in Week 10. Dart accounted for two-thirds of Ole Miss’ scores in the 63-31 win as he was 25-of-31 passing for 515 yards. Yes, he threw as many incompletions as he did touchdown passes.

It was a touchdown explosion from a player who hadn’t been responsible for all that many scores in recent weeks. Since throwing four touchdowns in Ole Miss’ win over Georgia Southern on Sept. 21, Dart had thrown just three TDs over the Rebels’ last four games.

It’s not a coincidence that his lack of TD passes had coincided with Ole Miss’ 2-2 record in that stretch, either. Ole Miss is fourth in the country in scoring at just over 42 points per game, but the win over Arkansas was the first time the Rebels had scored over 27 in an SEC game this season.
