I didn't see tv showing Pat Pat at the TAMU game, which they usually do when a injured star is on the sidelines. Anybody else see him?

What exactly indicates to you guys that Brown has lived up to the hype? He's had exactly one impact game against a quality opponent in his career thus far, which was Auburn this year. The vast majority of his stats are against cupcakes. If you pay attention to him in their games, you notice that he plays soft, drops a lot more passes than a receiver of his reputation should, and usually folds under adversity. He's very talented, absolutely no doubt, but a closer look shows that he hasn't lived up to the elite receiver he's somehow become known as.
God forbid you actually look at Ole Miss realistically. Then you become a OM homer.
Too bad in real life you don't get pressure on QB's every snap. They will have a few big plays and they will burn our secondary a couple of times. Mainly because of the size difference. Same way Ridley did (twice). Same way Gaines from La Tech did. Same way Hastings from AU did. Same way Stove for AU did. Same way Isabella did for UMass (twice).
Now, there are 5 different examples of receivers that have busted big plays on us. Some more than once. We can take Ridley out since some will argue that he is elite. And even then Brown still has more than 200 yards receiving than Ridley. Hard to look past the fact that he is the number one receiver in the SEC. Get real if you are in denial that there won't be any big plays from one of their 3 main receivers. I hope our players don't think like a lot of you going into this game. I would've taken one of them over any single one of our receivers any day. Go ahead with the accusations of me saying that I think OM is great. Seems like an easy way to keep your head in the sand after some one says something you don't like to hear.
We will pound the ball until they collapse and then embarrass them. Their run D is atrocious. Pass D is probably almost as bad too. But to think they won't have a big receiving play for a TD or no TD, or that we will have pressure on Ta'amu every single snap is just not being realistic. Not defending or saying they are better, (except in the WR position), just being real. Melt away.
Spider predicted OM to beat LSU and be 8-3 in the egg bowl. Spider has built OM up to be more than they are... well, since I can remember. Last year in the egg, he pronounced the game was over and we were gonna lose even though we were winning at the time. He told us how much stronger shea?s arm was than kelly?s (Lol). Spider looks at OM like the rest of us look at bama. He overvalues them, period.
BTW, who said we would shut them down completely? They will score some and we will score more, maybe a lot more
Ridley actually has a little more receiving yards than Brown in conference only games. Not saying Brown isn't good but his total yards are somewhat inflated vs weak opponents. He did have a good game against Auburn but it was 9 for 69 yards without the one 40 yard reception after they were down 38-3 in the second half.
Just seems like a common response around here if any one even thinks about saying one positive thing that OM's team does.
By saying the "Only way they will be a threat is if we don't put pressure on the Hawaiian" is being unrealistic. Look at how much pressure we dialed in on Hurts. Ta'amu is no Hurts, but it takes one or two slip ups to put points on the board or have an explosive play. My point was our secondary has had plenty of slip ups this year and they have 3 solid receivers to have to pay attention to. Period. We will dominate across the board otherwise IMO.
Those were conference only games I compared Ridley and Brown's stats. You point was that Brown had so much more yards than Ridley but that was for all games. Cupcake Games where Brown played the entire game and Ridley played for a half inflated the numbers. Against conference only teams, Ridley actually has a few more yards. Both very good but let's look at the whole picture when using stats. If you take it even further against ranked opponents Brown is like 8th or 9th in the league
