OXFORD, Miss. -- Hugh Freeze and some Ole Miss players will tell you that they've moved on from last year's gut-wrenching loss in overtime to Arkansas. They'll you that it's behind them and that their only focus is this year's game.
Don't be so sure.
"Anybody can say it won't motivate you, but everybody is thinking about that," Ole Miss defensive lineman D.J. Jones said Monday. "Just the fact that what happened, the situation -- winning that game could've put us in the SEC [championship] -- it's a motivational factor for me."
Ole Miss entered last year's Arkansas game in control of its own destiny.
