No. 12 Mississippi is dealing with multiple injuries to several players this week.
But the biggest issue for the Rebels is the team’s bruised psyche.
The Rebels (7-2) are trying to bounce back from two emotional losses β including last weekend’s 35-31 setback against Auburn β that essentially knocked them out of national title contention.
Now coach Hugh Freeze is trying to make sure his team is prepared to face Presbyterian (5-4) on Saturday. The Blue Hose play at the Football Championship Subdivision level and have been blown out by two other FBS teams this season β Northern Illinois and North Carolina State.
A win over Presbyterian won’t mean anything in the SEC, but could help Mississippi reclaim its mojo that helped it win seven straight to start the season.
