The undercard for Saturday night’s LSU-Alabama game in Tuscaloosa carries plenty of importance in the Southeastern Conference race.

Ole Miss will host Arkansas in the first game of the SEC’s lone day-night doubleheader televised annually by CBS. The Rebels are 7-2 overall and 4-1 in league play, and they can make their first appearance in the SEC title game by sweeping the Razorbacks this week, LSU on Nov. 21, and Mississippi State on Nov. 28.

It’s not the easiest task in the world, but the Rebels look up for the challenge after routing Texas A&M and topping Auburn the past two weeks.

“It certainly seems that we’ve recaptured some of that hunger and passion and energy,” Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said during Wednesday’s league teleconference.
