Jonathan Nichols had a tremendous 2003 season, as he led the Rebels with 124 points to set a new Ole Miss season scoring record, bettering the previous mark of 102 by RB Deuce McAllister (1997-2000) in 2000. Jonathan also led the SEC and ranked ninth nationally in scoring, averaging 9.5 points per game and led the SEC in field goal percentage (86.2), having made 25-of-29 attempts. He was 3-of-4 on field goals from 50 yards or more to become the first kicker in school history to hit three field goals of 50 yards or more in a season. Ranked second in the SEC and fourth in the nation in field goals made per game (1.92). His 25 field goals also set a new Ole Miss season record.

Dan Bailey put the wraps on a standout career that saw him enter the program as a walk-on and leave OSU as the school’s all-time leading scorer (347 career points with at least two games remaining in his career).  The previous all-time leading scorer was Barry Sanders. Bailey also set a school record with 22 field goals in the 2010 season through the first 11 games. He has handled placekicking duties since midway through the 2007 season and was also responsible for kickoff duties prior to 2009.  Bailey set a school record by hitting his first 182 extra-point attempts before having a kick blocked at Texas. He has hit more extra points than any player in OSU history.
