I think Ole Miss's record belies its competitiveness. There is a lot of parity in the conference even though it's not the level of the Big Ten, of course. Florida has been dominant for so long, and Kentucky has been rock solid through the years. The rest of the pack is fairly even right now and every team can be a tough out. I feel that Tennessee is about to find itself program-wise and regain its former stature in the league.
Tonight, despite its slow start and uneven play, I think Tennessee showed a lot of poise to win this match. Ole Miss is a physical, hard-hitting team. They were playing at home. The refs put the handcuffs on us emotionally when they tagged Colter with a yellow card (Are you kidding me?!!!). Hansen went out with a bloody nose and didn't return. Lily(Hammer) Felts was on the sideline for much of the match. With all things considered, it was big to get out of Oxford with a win.
