Will be interesting to see how we play against Vandy. If lose or only win by a little, I think the fans base will explode.
Agreed. Our tentative nature overall is exemplified in our soft non aggressive defensive style of play, bend don't break or whatever you call it, along with the style of passing "attack" we have where we don't go downfield much and have a low yards per pass avg. In other words, we give up big plays on D, don't make many on O, and coach to take every second of the play clock. Very passive team and coaching style.Will be interesting to see how we play against Vandy. If lose or only win by a little, I think the fans base will explode.
We would first have to have receivers capable of catching it. (other than Shi)I am wondering why we never throw down field. Is it the OL, WR, QB, Bobo on offense?
I would say it's a little of all that. Immobile QB, very limited WR group and the offensive style. There are routes being run down field but we take the slants and dump offs to the backs a ton.I am wondering why we never throw down field. Is it the OL, WR, QB, Bobo on offense?
We are now in Brad Scott territory.This game was one of the 4 wins I was hoping for before the season started. We still have Missouri and Kentucky left, but with the way our defense has disappeared, it wouldn't surprise me if we close out the season with just those 2 wins.....
This in my opinion was the turning point in the game. All brakes no gas.Should have figured we'd lose this game. Wasn't expecting the offense to be go good for Ole Miss in Kiffin's first year there, no matter how good of a offensive coach he is. While both teams have horrid defense, the Rebels' offense is much better than ours, while we're still sputtering on that side of the ball under Muschamp, and most likely will stay there as long as he's the head coach, which hopefully won't last much further. We sputtered enough on offense to just fall off, while grass blades on the field hampered Ole Miss on offense more than our own defense did.
Muschamp has another of his patented clock management brain-dead moments, with 1:40 left before the half and our offense having some leeway against the Rebel defense, he chooses - as he always does - to play out the clock and get to the lockerroom, instead of at least trying to get to FG range.

I had season tickets for Brad Scott's last year here. You are correct. Except I would say that Scott's fourth quarter capitulations have been replaced by multiple big play explosions from our opponents.We are now in Brad Scott territory.
But I've read some comments about the lack of speed on defense.He can recruit great players.
