Adversity has hit Ole Miss in several doses this season. It has had damaging injuries on both sides of the football, causing the youth and inexperience it already possesses to glare even more.
The Rebels sit at 3-4 with an Auburn team coming to Oxford that rushed for more than 500 yards a week ago against Arkansas. The losses have piled up, and the pressure seems to mount more every week.
“Such as the life in the SEC West, and it doesn’t get any easier moving forward. Auburn is an outstanding football team, maybe the best defense as far as points per game that we’ve seen,” Head Coach Hugh Freeze said.
