What Hugh Freeze said after Ole Miss' blowout of Georgia
There was no hangover for Ole Miss after the Rebels blew their second three-score lead in three weeks.
No. 23 Ole Miss crushed No. 12 Georgia 45-14 in Oxford a week after tripping up against No. 1 Alabama. Gone were the third-quarter woes that led to the Rebels’ two big collapses — coach Hugh Freeze’s squad scored 14 points in that period to put to rest any chance of a third blown lead.
Ole Miss (2-2, 1-1 SEC) racked up 510 yards to knock off the previously undefeated Bulldogs and get its season back on track. Here’s what Freeze had to say after the bounce-back win.
Hugh Freeze: "Credit to our guys, a team hasn't beaten Georgia like that in a long time."

Hugh Freeze said there wasn’t any emotion during practice this week. Saw that as “good sign” that team was disappointed, focused. #OleMiss
