STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Hugh Freeze was “thrilled and excited” Saturday after his Ole Miss team beat instate rival Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl. It was the Rebels' first win in Starkville since 2003, when Eli Manning was the quarterback.
But after the game, Freeze was still thinking about the Arkansas game from three weeks prior and what would’ve happened had Ole Miss won that game.
“If there’s one negative, we’re a 4th-and-25 from going to Atlanta,” Freeze said, referring to the fourth-down conversion by Arkansas in overtime that helped the Razorbacks beat the Rebels 53-52.
