#8 Ole Miss at #13 Oklahoma Game Thread (12PM EDT, ABC)

Wow the nose guard just made a tackle for a loss on outside zone

 

[CPVOL]

16 on OU looked like he was boxing Mike Tyson.
He got abused sorely

 

[JMSqb11]

Ordinarily, I would be for Ole Miss, but since we play OU next week, I don't want them to be desperate for a win. .... Rather they be overconfident!

OU winning would do things. Likely get them to Top 10 or higher and would knock Ole Miss to the 2 loss line.

Beating OU would give us a Top 10 win while knocking OU to the 2 loss line.

 

[JMSqb11]

Didn't we have problems on their crappy wet field ?

I don't think we did because of wetness. I think they grew out the grass that was causing issues like crazy. I remember on Donte's long touchdown he was kicking up grass every step he took.

 

[JMSqb11]

There is textbook Kiffin trying to be too smart.

 

[CPVOL]

We need a true dual threat QB that can move like Chambliss. Nico doesn’t count

Yeh that's right. I was thinking they wet it down, but it was because they let it grow out to try to slow us down .

I remember our game against Notre Dame where they did the same thing in 2005. Not sure it was designed to slow us down specifically, but I remember the grass being long long long

They did that for the USC game as well. They had nearly a month between home games before USC and never cut the grass in hopes of slowing them down. Charlie Weis even admitted as much. I believe they mowed it after the game, then let it grow again until the Tennessee game was over.

That was such a funny game cause it was right after Fulmer let Sanders go and Fulmer took over playcalling the rest of the season.

 

[Vol8188]

I’m going to die laughing if they just wasted a timeout to punt

 

[95 Vol Alum]

That was a bust.

 

[JMSqb11]

Ole Miss getting the stops they couldn't last week.

 

[JMSqb11]

That was a bust.

I'm jealous watching a defense getting into the backfield and actually converting tackles for loss.

Or worse…..

Don’t we lead the nation in that stat?

 

[Jax_Vol]

Yup. Scroll on over to the 1:47 mark to refresh those memories..

We lead in sacks. But I can't even start to count how many missed tackles for loss we have. I mean the Bama game alone was double digits.

 

[Vol8188]

Or worse…..

That’s what happens when you have 0 run game. Lost a TO and are about to go down 2 scores now.

That play may be ball game

 

[JMSqb11]

So I was at that game. I remember Hardesty late in the game try to spin off and score. I thought he was going to get us in.

I didn't know Lea was at UCLA.

I thought it was over grown and in need of mowing, which certainly mitigates a speed advantage.

Yup

Well. That top in The country OU defense is looking like the squad that played Texas. So far.

And back to reality for UCLA even if this is the wrong thread.
