OXFORD, Miss. -- Mississippis football season, which has been mostly miserable, hit a new low last weekend.The Rebels (5-6, 2-5 Southeastern Conference) played arguably their worst game of the season in a 38-17 road loss against Vanderbilt. Now they must win the Egg Bowl against Mississippi State (4-7, 2-5) at home on Saturday to become bowl eligible for the fifth straight season under coach Hugh Freeze.Its a set of circumstances scarcely imagined three months ago, when the Rebels entered the season as the No. 11 team in the country and had aspirations of an SEC championship.Freeze acknowledged on Monday that hes got a team thats beat up physically and mentally. He also said thats no excuse when playing against your in-state rival.Weve got to find out who the warriors are for this week, Freeze said. Thats who weve got to play and get ready to go.All eyes will be on Ole Miss freshman quarterback Shea Patterson, who will likely make his third career start.The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Patterson was forced into action two weeks ago when starter Chad Kelly went down with a season-ending knee injury. Patterson was impressive in his debut against Texas A&M, throwing for 338 yards and two touchdowns in a 29-28 come-from-behind win.But he couldnt duplicate that success against the Commodores, completing just 20 of 42 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns while also running for 51 yards.Freeze said the problems werent all Pattersons fault -- citing several drops by Ole Miss receivers -- but that his quarterback was also suffering through the growing pains that many freshmen experience. He said Patterson missed on a few potential touchdown throws and also had a tendency to take off running when a little more patience could have resulted in a bigger play.Its great that we have some extra time this week with classes not in session, that he can get some extra film, Freeze said. So we can make sure he feels great about the understanding of what were trying to do this Saturday.There are also questions about who is going to be available to play around Patterson.The teams leading receiver, tight end Evan Engram, is questionable because of a hamstring injury. Offensive linemen Robert Conyers and Sean Rawlings have been battling injuries for several weeks and their availability will be decided later this week.Even with all those problems, Ole Miss is still about a touchdown favorite on Saturday. The Rebels are playing at home and Mississippi State has its own set of problems, giving up a combined 109 points over the last two weeks in losses to Alabama and Arkansas.The home team has won 10 of the last 12 games in the series.Its our job to get them ready for this game regardless if we have one win, five wins or 10 wins, Freeze said. We know this game is going to be a battle. It always is.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .

Speaking Thursday on TSN 1050 Thursday, the Leafs GM also touched on the questions surrounding the teams leadership and the struggles of his big-name free-agent signing. “Its not from lack of effort from the coaching staff.It was inevitable that Virat Kohli would make a big score at some point in the Test series against England, according to Michael Atherton. The India captain ended day one of the second Test in Visakhapatnam unbeaten on 151 as he made England pay for dropping him when he was on 56.The hosts closed on 317-4 after James Anderson removed Ajinkya Rahane late on with the new ball, but Kohli remains and will be confident of adding to his tally on a batsman-friendly track. Virat Kohli finished day one unbeaten on 151 England were always going to feel the force of Kohlis bat at some stage, Atherton told Sky Sports. He didnt have a particularly good series against England in 2014 when Jimmy Anderson was all over him but it all came together nicely for him today.Hes on the back of runs in that Rajkot game, so hes feeling confident. Although hes not played a Test match here, in one-day [internationals] hes got a wonderful record at this ground and he won a good toss on an excellent pitch.He was in early because of those two wickets and really he couldnt have asked for nicer conditions to bat in than he had today. He played superbly.While Kohli will take the headlines, he was ably assisted for much of the day by Cheteshwar Pujara, who notched his third hundred in as many Tests before falling to Anderson for 119. Kohli (r) and Cheteshwar Pujara both hit centuries on the opening day The pair put on 226 for the second wicket with their contrasting styles drawing comparisons with another famous Indian duo.Pujara is a wonderful player too and I think they combine well together, that was their fourth 100 partnership in Test matches; he is a good foil for Kohli, Atherton added.Its a little bit like Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid in years gone by. Tendulkar, as Kohli is now, is the big draw card - the man that everybody wants to come and see - but what you need down the other end is a guy who hasnt got a big ego and who isnt going to try and compete but who will get runs in whatever situation you find yourself in.dddddddddddd The challenge now for England, argues Atherton, is to take the remaining six Indian wickets before the pitch begins to deteriorate to allow themselves a chance to bat while conditions are still favourable.The pitch will change more than Rajkot, its not as firm a pitch and therefore it feels as though the top will go, said Atherton. How quickly is the key question, of course.If India get 450, its going to be difficult for England. Itll probably stay fine tomorrow but if India can bat until tea-time tomorrow, itll probably start to go on that third day which is why the toss was so important. There wont be as much bounce as Rajkot but I think its going to spin more. The best of the action from Day One of the Second Test in Visakhapatnam How Anderson rocks up tomorrow will be interesting and Stuart Broad seems to have this issue with his right foot, he only bowled 11 overs today so it hasnt been an ideal day for England.Watch highlights of day one of the second Test between India and England on Sky Sports 2 from 2pm, then stay tuned for The Verdict at 3pm on the same channel.
