OXFORD, Miss. — Jaxson Dart completed his first 24 passes to set Southeastern Conference and school records, finishing 25 of 27 for 377 yards in No. 6 Mississippi's 52-3 victory over Middle Tennessee State on Saturday. The streak ended when Dart and Tre Harris couldn't connect on a crossing pattern with 9:56 reaming.
