Freeze likes energy in first bowl practice

Ole Miss returned to the practice field as a full football team Monday morning in the Indoor Practice Facility with a workout geared toward the future as well as the Rebels’ upcoming contest with Pittsburgh in the BBVA Compass Bowl.
Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said he liked the energy he saw from his team in their return to practice, the first as a team since before the Rebels defeated Mississippi State 41-24 in the Egg Bowl on Nov. 24. (December 18, 2012, Page 8)

Rebels can’t out run No. 8 Tigers

BATON ROUGE, La. — There were a lot of things the Ole Miss Rebels did right in Saturday’s matchup with No. 8 LSU at Tiger Stadium. Instead of kicking field goals like they did in a one-point loss to Vanderbilt, the Rebels scored more touchdowns than any other team has all year on the vaunted LSU defense.

An Ole Miss defense that was short handed entering the nationally televised game made its fair share of big plays against an offense that had become more balanced in recent games. (more…) (November 19, 2012, Page 1B)

Freeze to make decision on starting QB Thursday

A decision on who will start at quarterback against Texas A&M will come Thursday, according to Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze, who announced Monday that there would be greater competition between Bo Wallace and Barry Brunetti at practice this week. Wallace, who has started every game this year, has been nagged by turnovers the past few weeks as well as a shoulder injury. (October 3, 2012, Page 6)

Wallace’s job could be up for grabs

Just five weeks after sophomore Bo Wallace secured the starting quarterback position away from Barry Brunetti, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze announced Monday there would be more competition this week between the quarterbacks. In essence, Freeze is going to have a mini summer camp this week to see who can best lead the Rebels (3-2 overall, 0-1 in Southeastern Conference play) against the red-hot Texas A&M Aggies (3-1, 1-1). (October 2, 2012, Page 6)

Freeze to open QB competition back up

VIDEO BLOG: Ole Miss hasn’t exactly gone back to the drawing board, but head coach Hugh Freeze did make it pretty clear that just because Bo Wallace has been the man, doesn’t mean he will continue to be QB 1 if he continues to turn over the ball. (more…) (October 1, 2012)

OM Rebels look to play better at No. 1 Alabama

The start of Southeastern Conference play for Ole Miss begins Saturday night at Bryant-Denny Stadium, home to the league’s best team in No. 1 Alabama. Two weeks after losing 66-31 to then No. 14 Texas, the Rebels have a chance to show the nation watching at home via ESPN that they have improved from that defeat and that they are more prepared to run the gauntlet against the nation’s best teams.

Is going all out at ‘Bama best for Rebels?

COLUMN: Bo Wallace has a bad shoulder and has been limited in practice this week. The fact he’s Ole Miss’ best and most complete quarterback for head coach Hugh Freeze’s system is reason enough to think that the coaching staff might let him rest a while (or an entire game) to preserve Wallace for the rest of the year.

OM’s Wallace held out of practice

Ole Miss returned to the practice fields Tuesday for its first full day of preparation for Saturday’s matchup with No. 1 Alabama. A couple of hurt Rebels — defensive tackles Uriah Grant and Woodrow Hamilton — were back and going through various drills, while starting quarterback Bo Wallace was dressed but did not go through drills, according to coach Hugh Freeze. (September 26, 2012, Page 6)

NEW ORLEANS — Ole Miss’ defenders had smiles on their faces after Saturday’s game with Tulane in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
