Ole Miss and Pittsburgh are two of the most evenly matched teams in the bowl schedule this season, so Saturday's BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, Ala., should be a fun one to watch.
 
Here's who has the advantage at each position. 
 

 
The situation Saturday night was all too familiar for Ole Miss. Having the lead with just over two minutes left in the game, a defensive stop would have propelled the Rebels to six wins and bowl eligibility. Instead, they were handed another heartbreaking. This time by the Vanderbilt Commodores, who became bowl eligible themselves with the win.
 

 
ATHENS, Ga. — Ole Miss jumped out to a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter and had hopes of an upset against No. 6 Georgia, but the Bulldogs responded with 37 unanswered points as the Rebels fell 37-10 this past Saturday “Between the Hedges.”
 

 
The Ole Miss Rebels defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks 30-27 on Saturday on the foot of senior Bryson Rose’s 31-yard field goal as time expired. While Rose was carried off the field in triumph, the Rebels’ second-straight Southeastern Conference victory was much more than a one-man job.
 

 
There were about seven minutes to go in the game, and Texas A&M was looking at a third-and-19 on its own three-yard line. Ole Miss was ahead 27-17, and many of the 55,343 spectators in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium were feeling relieved. The Rebels (3-3, 0-2 SEC) were close to getting their first Southeastern Conference win of the year and ending a 15-game SEC losing streak.
 

 
Sophomore wide receiver Donte Moncrief has found himself as the focus of many opposing defenses, resulting in double coverages and schemes built to stop him. This, however, has allowed for junior wide receiver Ja-Mes Logan and sophomore wide receiver Vince Sanders the opportunity to see more action and catch more passes.
 

 
NEW ORLEANS — Ole Miss surpassed its win total from last season and bounced back from the previous week’s 66-31 loss to Texas with a 39-0 win against Tulane in New Orleans this past Saturday. 
 
“Any time you shut somebody out at the Division I level — everyone has got some playmakers — you’ve had a good afternoon,” head coach Hugh Freeze said.
 

 
Ole Miss’ true freshman safety Trae Elston has been suspended for Saturday’s primetime ESPN matchup against the No. 14 Texas Longhorns, the Southeastern Conference announced Tuesday. The league offices announced the suspension was the result of a flagrant hit Elston had on a UTEP wide receiver late in the fourth quarter in the Rebels’ 28-10 win over the Miners last Saturday. 
 
LIVE POLL: Is the Trae Elston suspension fair? 

 
With the kickoff of his first season as the head coach at Ole Miss just a few days away, it’s clear that Hugh Freeze is just ready to play a game. 
 
His players are ready as well, as Freeze said “you see a little bounce in their step and a little change in attitude” when game week comes around. 
 

 
David Collier: Tell us about about this Central Arkansas team. What do they bring to the table as they head into the season?
 
Lee Hogan: You have a lot of returning guys that had a successful 2011 season. They made their first appearance in the FCS playoffs last year. They finished up the season 9-4. They’ve got a lot of big play guys on offense, especially at running back and wide receiver. 
 

Inconsistency from the quarterbacks ruled the day Saturday as Ole Miss scrimmaged for the first time during fall camp. 
 
Sophomore Bo Wallace appeared to be on track to having a better day than junior Barry Brunetti, but a pair of interceptions on a screen pass and an errant throw closed the gap toward the end of practice.  

In the finale of the first spring practice under head coach Hugh Freeze, sophomore quarterback Bo Wallace and the Red team outlasted junior quarterback Barry Brunetti and the Blue team 24-23 Saturday in the Grove Bowl.

With the score tied 17-17 at the end of regulation, Freeze sent the game into overtime. Wallace threw his second touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Donte Moncrief, a 23-yard score, to give the Red team a 24-17 lead.
