Hugh Freeze finds his team in a position it hasn’t been in since his first year at Ole Miss, and that is needing an Egg Bowl win to become bowl eligible. It’s been an up-and-down season for the Rebels, who sit at 5-6 after being blown out against Vanderbilt 38-17 in Nashville last Saturday night. Freeze addressed that game, The Egg Bowl and more in his Monday press conference.
