As the Southeastern Conference conducts its women’s basketball tournament and closes its men’s basketball regular season, spring football is kicking off around the league as well.
Ole Miss became the fourth SEC school to start spring drills when Hugh Freeze’s Rebels opened Wednesday. They finished the 2015 season as the league’s second-best team behind Alabama, closing with a 38-17 drubbing of LSU in Oxford, a 38-27 win at Mississippi State and a 48-20 shellacking of Oklahoma State in the Sugar Bowl.
“It’s hard to believe it’s our fifth year already,” Freeze said Thursday in a news conference. “It’s going by so fast. I’m excited about this spring and excited that we have several midyear enrollees who can add depth for us at certain spots.
“We’ve talked to the team about going from being committed to being compelled. Playing in two consecutive New Year’s Six games creates expectations, and in order for us to maintain that, there is another step we all need to go.”
