\"freeze<\/a>The No. 11 Ole Miss R<\/strong><\/span>ebels<\/strong> are starting preparations for arguably the biggest game in it\u2019s program\u2019s history. The stage is set: ESPN College GameDay<\/strong> will broadcast live from The Grove, CBS<\/strong> will air the game at 2:30 p.m. and Alabama<\/strong> moved up to No.1 in the USA TODAY\/ESPN Coaches Poll<\/strong> this week. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s unfamiliar territory. Most head coaches would be intimidated or reserved. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hugh Freeze<\/strong> is neither. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to enjoy this,\u201d Freeze told the media at his weekly press conference. \u201cWhat a great opportunity. I am going to have fun and get our kids ready. We have come a long way in a short amount of time and it is happening fast.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Freeze talked about the Ole Miss running game and how difficult it would be for the Rebels to be successful there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be difficult, but the opportunity is there for us,\u201d he said. \u201cThey are so well coached and two and three deep with some great players. We have to be balanced. It\u2019s going to be a challenge.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Last week, Ole Miss ran a fumblerooksi play against Memphis<\/strong>. When asked about his offensive scheme for Alabama, Freeze threw a wrench in the motor. No stealing signs this year Alabama.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working on the wishbone,\u201d Freeze said. \u201cWe want to bring that back….I\u2019m kidding. I really don\u2019t want to talk about our offensive plan…We expect to win and we expect to go compete and have a shot.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

At this point, it\u2019s hard to tell if Freeze is kidding about the wishbone offense or not. <\/span><\/p>\n
