OXFORD, Miss. — It was the kind of thing that Hugh Freeze didn’t have to worry too much about with his previous jobs and definitely falls into the “good kind of problem to have” at Ole Miss.
Last year, the Rebels were clearly led by their defense, which at times was so effective and tenacious that he had to go against his offensive philosophy of "Faster is always better."
“(When) you've got a defense that for most of the year is giving up 12 points a game, it doesn't take a lot of rocket science to figure out that if that defense is that stingy, you give the opponents lesser and lesser opportunities, you're going to have a chance to win some games,” the coach said on Tuesday on the eve of Ole Miss' first practice of training camp.
