1. Will there be a letdown after the season-opening win against Central Arkansas? Will Ole Miss be looking ahead to next week’s matchup against No. 15 Texas?
 

 
After winning their first game of the season last Saturday against Central Arkansas, Ole Miss (1-0) looks to carry its momentum into tomorrow’s nonconference clash with Conference-USA member UTEP. 
 
The Miners of UTEP fell to No. 4 Oklahoma last Saturday 24-7 in a game that had many thinking the Miners had a chance at a major upset. They entered the fourth quarter trailing the Sooners by just three points.
 

 
Ole Miss began Wednesday afternoon’s practice on the practice fields, but some rain forced the Rebels inside the Indoor Practice Facility for the second straight day. Even though they were not able to stay outside, Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze was pleased with the team’s energy. 
 
“It was good to get inside though, and our kids had great energy,” Freeze said. “(I) think we’ve got a good plan. Now, we just got see if our kids can execute it.” 
 

Ty Hensley, a right-handed pitcher out of Edmond, Okla., was one of three Ole Miss signees to be drafted in the first round earlier in June.
 
“(I had an) overwhelming amount of excitement running through my mind,” Hensley said of seeing his name called in the first round. “(My family and I) were so pumped that I was actually drafted in the first round. It was really just a dream come true for me.”
 

Gov. Phil Bryant signed House Bill 1390 yesterday, requiring all physicians performing abortions in Mississippi to be board-certifiied obstetrician-gynecologists and to have admitting priviliges at an area hospital. 

"Today you see the first step in a movement, I believe, to do what we campaigned on- to say we're going to try to end abortion in Mississippi," Bryant said.

While traveling this weekend, I stopped at a fast food restaurant to get a bottle of water and get back on the road. Lately, I’ve become more interested in where my food and drinks come from, so I decided to read the label. 

To my surprise, this company’s bottled water has quite a lot of mileage. The water’s source is the municipal water supplies of Palestine, Texas, it is bottled by a company in Little Rock and it is then distributed by the corporation’s office in Oklahoma City, Okla.

MANNY DIAZ, 37, Texas Defensive Coordinator

As soon as the Ole Miss head coaching position became open this past Monday, former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach’s name was quickly linked with the job, among other former and current head coaches and coordinators.

Currently an announcer and analyst for CBS Sports, Leach boasts 23 years of coaching experience, including an 84-43 record in 10 seasons as the Texas Tech head coach. He brought his patented “Air Raid” offense to Lubbock, and the Red Raiders never had a losing season, reached 10 straight bowl games and shared the Big 12 South Title in 2008.

Growing up, Gunter Brewer listened to stories about his dad.
His father, Billy Brewer, was on the gridiron at Ole Miss, both as a player and a coach.

He will do so as the Rebels’ new associate head coach, passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach.
