While the marquee matchup is billed as a neutral-site game, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze has expressed his thoughts on the Seminoles’ advantage of playing closer to home.
“I did get a kick out of our AD telling me it’s a neutral-site game,” Freeze said at SEC Media Days. “And I’d use that in quotes, ‘neutral site,’ and I explain to him, ‘Any time you go on the road to a neutral-site game and you have to use silent cadence, it shouldn’t be considered a neutral site.’ So we’ll have a great opposition there in a lot of ways, and it will be an atmosphere that we have to handle. Good thing I think we have some people in key positions of leadership that will help us do that.”
