OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi coach Hugh Freeze said he's prepared for an "SEC fistfight" when Arkansas comes to town on Saturday.
This time, he hopes the Rebels have the ability to counterpunch.
No. 19 Mississippi (7-2, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) hosts Arkansas (4-4, 2-2) one year after being embarrassed during a 30-0 loss to the Razorbacks in Fayetteville.
Ole Miss — which still controls its own fate in the Western Division race — has much more to play for than revenge, but both the players and coaches have acknowledged that last year's game is an ugly memory.
