Manning broke his left forearm when he fell on the artificial turf of Hemingway Stadium during the homecoming game vs. Houston. He missed the Rebels' next two games, including a stunning Egg Bowl loss, then returned for the regular season finale vs. LSU wearing a heavy cast. He also played in the Gator Bowl wearing the cast. Vaught was stricken with a heart attack during Ole Miss' open week in late October (the Rebels were originally scheduled to play LSU in Baton Rouge on Halloween, but the game had been shifted to the first Saturday of December so it could be televised by ABC). Assistant Bruiser Kinard served as interim coach for the last four regular season games and the Gator Bowl. In his role as athletic director, Bruiser named brother Billy Kinard as football coach for 1971. Ole Miss was one of three SEC teams, along with Auburn and Georgia, which did not schedule an 11th game.
