Many thought Ole Miss could win its first five games. Now it's just wanting to win a game. The next opportunity comes Saturday, when a 2-0 Fresno State team visits Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. "Our morale isn't down or anything," junior offensive lineman Alex Washington said. "We know we're just a couple of plays off from the record being different. We've just got to continue to push."Ole Miss is, after all, 1-2 against three teams that went a combined 3-21 against Bowl Subdivision teams a year prior.The Rebels have a minus-5 turnover margin, the worst such mark in the Southeastern Conference. No league team has given up more points than Ole Miss, which has yielded 90.
"Got to get your confidence back," Nutt said. "Got to get your swagger back. You've got to do that by making plays and playing very hard."
"We've always been known for playing at your highest level," Nutt said. "And I want to make sure everybody's doing that. We've got to play at a very high level, play hard. I can live with whatever happens, as long as I know they're giving everything they have and we're giving them the best opportunity to win."
Food for thought, Nutt thinks Fresno State is the best team the Rebels will have played this season.
