No. 12 Ole Miss tries to bounce back from losses

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 — including last weekend's 35-31 setback against Auburn — 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 — 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.
