OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Jevan Snead threw for three touchdowns and directed six consecutive touchdown drives Saturday as the Blue defeated the Red 55-28 in the Ole Miss spring game, known as the Grove Bowl.

Snead finished 11-of-15 for 254 yards with touchdown strikes of 12, 20 and 70 yards to Shay Hodge, Dexter McCluster and Markeith Summers, respectively. The Blue team, primarily comprised of both No. 1 units, finished with 524 yards of total offense.

The scrimmage session featured a variation of traditional rules. The Red team was awarded seven points each quarter. Several skill position players wore “no contact” jerseys, including McClusker and Snead.

Devin Thomas led all rushers with 68 yards, including a 53-yard touchdown run in the second period for the Blue. Jacarious Lucas had second half touchdown catches of 19 and 50 yards from reserve quarterbacks Billy Tapp and Nathan Stanley, respectively.

The Blue team capitalized on its first drive and took an early 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter thanks to the rushing of Brandon Bolden. Bolden scampered for 29 yards on the second play of the drive, before capping the series with back-to-back rushes of eight and five yards to reach the endzone.

Saturday's attendance of 28,357 broke the previous record of 28,311 set last year in Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt's first year in Oxford. Today's game marked the conclusion of spring practice. The Rebels open the 2009 season September 6 at 2:30 p.m. when the Rebels travel to Memphis to take on the Tigers.
