TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- A 33-14 loss to top-ranked Alabama seemed to be somewhat of a moral victory for Ole Miss.
"They feel good," first-year Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said when asked how his players feel. "They feel a lot better than I do, and they should.
"They're pleased with the effort that was given. The ones who made mistakes, who turned it over or did certain things, I hope they hurt for their mistakes, because we've got to start expecting more of ourselves. Enough has been talked about the past, whatever it was, and it's time for us to start expecting more."
This was the Southeastern Conference opener for the Rebels (3-2), who lost 66-31 two weeks earlier at home to Texas. Ole Miss was a 30-point underdog to Alabama.
"In this conference, you can't feel sorry for yourself," Freeze said. "You've got to put it behind you and move forward for the next one, because we've got a very difficult one next week.
"But I think our kids are in a positive frame of mind to know that if we could stop doing some of the things we do to ourselves, we would have a chance. I don't know if we'll win the games or not. I haven't promised that in Year 1. I've promised you're going to get great effort. But I know that if we play like that and don't hurt ourselves, we should have some chances later in the game to win it."
