Freeze disappointed with student protest, coverage

Ole Miss football coach Hugh Freeze took a proactive approach to the fallout stemming from the student-led protests that happened on campus late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning. Freeze gave his thoughts and talked about his course of action, as well as what his assistants did, following the unorganized protest outside of two residence halls following the re-election of President Barack Obama.

Big plays hurt OM Rebels in loss

ATHENS, Ga. — At one point Saturday, Ole Miss had actually out-gained No. 7 Georgia 100-16 and held a 10-0 advantage.

And then, like a switch was flipped, the hometown Bulldogs knocked the Rebels on their backside at Sanford Stadium. (more…) (November 5, 2012, Page 4B)

Rebel linebackers have desire to be great

If the tackles are the strongest part of the defensive line and the cornerbacks are the deepest part of the secondary, then the linebackers are arguably the deepest position on Ole Miss’ new-look defense.

Even without D.T. Shackelford in the linebacker rotation, the Rebels have as much experience returning as any defensive position heading into the 2012 season. Junior Mike Marry has made 10 starts and played in 22 games the past two years, while senior Joel Kight has played in 37 games during his career and made 114 tackles. Serderius Bryant was listed as the third stinger going into the summer despite the fact he started three games, played in all 12 contests and made 61 tackles as a true freshman.

Rebel defenders continue to garner turnovers

If the main focus of Saturday’s first scrimmage of the preseason was on the quarterback race at Ole Miss, then the other top topic was how the defense fared and how the unit forced so many turnovers.

First-year coordinator Dave Wommack said he asked his players prior to the scrimmage to play hard and fast, and then eliminate alignment assignment errors. (August 13, 2012, Page 6)

Rebels continue to struggle offensively

Ole Miss’ first day in full pads proved to be another strong day for the defense as the Rebels continued to struggled with turnovers. Whether it was interceptions or miscues on snaps out of the shotgun, first-year coach Hugh Freeze wasn’t too pleased with how his offense performed in team situations following Tuesday’s morning practice. (August 8, 2012, Page 6)

Several newcomers will see action in Saturday’s opener

It’s a good thing the Ole Miss Rebels have name plates back on their jerseys because fans will have a lot of new names to learn when their team kicks its season off on Saturday against the BYU Cougars.

When Ole Miss’ first official two-deep depth chart was released on Monday, 24 players listed were either freshmen (both true and redshirt) or transfers. (August 30, 2011, Page 8)

Temple leading new group of DBs

There was a point in time four years ago when Marcus Temple didn’t know if he would see much playing time in Ole Miss’ secondary. Coming from Hargrave (Va.) Military Academy as a walk-on, Temple was the “extra” guy on the roster that would likely help out more on special teams than in the defensive backfield.

That assessment of Temple’s potential contribution to the Rebels was underestimated thanks in large part to his desire to be much more than just a role player. (August 24, 2011, Page 9)
