Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze opened Monday’s press conference by thanking everyone in the Ole Miss family and fan base on the support from Saturday’s 23-17 victory over Alabama.
Now the No. 3 Rebels move on to College Station, Texas, and the No. 14 Texas A&M Aggies who fell to Mississippi State this past weekend 48-31 in Starkville. Ole Miss will be going into Kyle Field for the first time to play football since A&M joined the SEC.
Freeze announced during the press conference that he had suspended safety Trae Elston for the first half of the upcoming game after Elson demonstrated unsportsmanlike conduct after a play in which Alabama running back Kenyan Drake suffered a nasty leg injury.
The Rebels will go up against a highly touted team coached by Kevin Sumlin at 8 p.m. Saturday. Ole Miss will have to be ready for the challenge and not let the hype of the Alabama game distract them from the challenge waiting in Texas.
