Wallace, Freeze weigh in on game speed

If it was up to Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace, every play would be up tempo and not involve a huddle in between. Wallace likes to go at a fast pace and while Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze does too, there is a balancing act both have to deal with each and every game.

Freeze was asked about going slow compared to going fast during a game Monday and his answers on the subject varied based on the team the Rebels were playing each week. (October 31, 2012, Page 6)

Freeze pleased with first class of players

Ole Miss’ final verbal commitment, and subsequent letter of intent, of the 2012 football signing class made the biggest impact Wednesday for first-year coach Hugh Freeze and his staff.

As highly rated and needed as Aberdeen defensive end Channing Ward is to the signing class, Oxford, Ala., Trae Elston (6-foot, 183 pounds) coming on board Wednesday and picking the Rebels over LSU and Oklahoma State live on ESPNU from his high school helped finish out Freeze’s first class in style. (February 2, 2012, Page 6)
