OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi still controls its own fate in the Southeastern Conference Western Division thanks to its surprise victory over Alabama in September.
That's pretty much the end of the good news.
The bad news is that following a sobering 37-24 loss to Memphis last weekend, the Rebels don't look anything like a program that's going to contend for championships.
No. 24 Ole Miss (5-2, 2-1 SEC) is a beat-up team heading into its game against No. 15 Texas A&M (5-1, 2-1) on Saturday.
Coach Hugh Freeze said on Monday that defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche and safety Trae Elston are both going through concussion protocol and their availability for the Texas A&M game is uncertain.
