COLUMBIA, S.C. — Big man JJ Pegues, a 325-pound nose tackle, ran for two short touchdowns as No. 12 Mississippi bounced back from its first loss of the season last week to beat South Carolina 27-3 and give coach Lane Kiffin his 100th career victory. The Rebels took advantage of two failed South Carolina gambles to build a two-touchdown lead and were never pressured after that. Pegues twice took direct snaps in the backfield for easy scores. He has four rushing TDs this season.
