Freshmen looking to step up due to injuries

Ole Miss is coming off its biggest and most physically demanding win of the season against Alabama.

Injuries and fatigue definitely had an affect on the Rebels, and it is no secret that this team is a little banged up. The Rebels do not expect a let-down in performance this week when they take on the Vanderbilt Commodores this Saturday.

“It’s the present moment that matters,” Robert Nkemdiche, junior defensive tackle, said. “I feel like this team is stuck in the moment.”

The Ole Miss secondary took a hit this weekend, as they found out they will be without junior safety Tony Conner for at least four weeks due to a torn meniscus.
