BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Coach Hugh Freeze needed only one year to make a winner out of a Mississippi team that was woeful in 2011.
Bo Wallace threw three touchdowns and Ole Miss beat Pittsburgh 38-17 in the BBVA Compass Bowl on Saturday to complete an impressive turnaround. The Rebels went 7-6 one year after a 2-10 mark.
"I've tried to learn not to make too much out of a single game either way, but no question this advances our journey a bit," Freeze said.
Pitt running back Ray Graham, who had 1,042 yards rushing, missed the game with a hamstring injury suffered in practice.
