Ole Miss pulling from upset experience

Also coming off a bye is Ole Miss. Interim Head Coach Matt Luke says this week’s opponent, Alabama, is ranked number one for a reason, but that’s never stopped the Rebels from caring in the past.
Two years ago, they did the unthinkable, beating the Crimson Tide for the second year in a row when they were ranked second in the nation. But a lot has changed since then. Huge Freeze is no longer the head coach and Chad Kelly is no longer the starting quarterback.
But some of the other players in that locker room where on-hand for that night in Tuscaloosa which give Luke and company something to draw back on. “I think that obviously helps when you’ve got guys that have been there and played in that environment, it obviously helps. But I think the thing about it is two years ago doesn’t mean anything for this year, this team is the one that’s got to go to Tuscaloosa. But obviously experience does help. Some of those offensive lineman, they’ve been in the stadium, so I think that does obviously help some.”
Upsetting the Tide will be easier said than done with Bama coming off a 59-0 shutout on the road at Vanderbilt. Saturday’s game kicks off at 8 p.m. on ESPN.
