What Hugh Freeze said about Ole Miss' massive collapse against FSU
The Ole Miss Rebels had a night to forget Monday night, and it capped off a weak week 1 for the Southeastern Conference.
Florida State beat Ole Miss 45-34, and it was a remarkable comeback for the Seminoles. In fact, it is the greatest comeback in FSU history.

At one point, Florida State outscored the Rebels 33-0 before Chad Kelly ended the drought with a passing touchdown in the fourth quarter, the only points of the half. Mind you, Ole Miss led at halftime 28-13.
FSU QB Deondre Francois finished with 420 passing yards and two touchdowns, torching the Rebels’ secondary.
Here’s what Hugh Freeze said after the loss:
