And all I'm saying is, we matched up with both LSU and Auburn equally and destroyed both.
I hope Wallace thinks he can sit back and throw all over us.

This isn't about Ole Miss vs State
Some of you are really getting blinded by the 1B numbers that are getting added to our defensive stat sheet. We have a very good defense and an even better offense. TSUN doesn't scare me and hasn't the entire season. Oxford is really not a scary place to play when you compare it to Death Valley. Sorry bears, it just isn't.
Ultimately everything boils down to us vs. whoever the discussion is about. Since we have already played and beaten Auburn, this is ultimately about us vs. TSUN at the end of the season.
Most people want TSUN to be in a downward spiral by the time we get to Oxford. I don't think it will matter as long as Dak and JRob are healthy.
No one said we would lose to Ole Miss. What we are trying to say is that Auburn is a lot better matchup for Ole Miss than LSU is. And, to add to that, the game is in Oxford.
LSU runs the ball the most in the conference and throws the ball the least in the conference. Auburn is more balanced, and thus a different type offense than LSU. And the less you run the ball and the more you throw the ball, the more you are playing into Ole Miss's strengths. Just ask Alabama.
Auburn is not "smashmouth". And considering Marshall runs it probably 15+ times per game and NONE of those runs from him are "smashmouth", I would say I'm correct. Yes, they run so e downhill plays to Artis Payme, but I acknowledged "some downhill" in my OP. Are you claiming Marshall's designed runs are "smashmouth"? And considering the other undesignied runs of his (which he always has an option to run, so very few are technically "undesigned") are quite often and also not "smashmouth", I'm not sure where I could be getting caught up in "eye candy". Marshall IS their offense, and their is no smashmouth element to Marshall....so how can they be a smashmouth team?
Cadaver- didnt you say there was no way LSU was beating Ole Missus? Or was that Goat? One of you was pretty adament about it. But either way- I'm not even looking at the Auburn offense- I think Auburn's DL is going to manhandle the Ole Missus OL. Big Softie wont play much if at all and the rest are garbage.
Auburn IS the better overall team. However, they may not matchup well with OLE MISS. In addition to things pointing out earlier, their secondary is suspect, and guess what? All Ole Miss can do is throw the ball. LSU has a top 3 secondary in the SEC and that is a main reason they shut Ole Miss down.
Oxford is just not a scary place to play IMO.
I also just think that Auburn is a flat out better team than TSUN. I may be proven wrong, but I don't think I will be. Auburn has too much offense and a decent enough defense. They may very well have the grove packed by halftime.
Yep, I predicted a big OM win, but wasn't "adamant" about it.
And to your point, that is the only way I think OM gets beaten....if Auburn plays good defense and gets some short fields to work with. I guess I'm just not sold on Auburn's defense to this point. But USC's offense is pretty good, so hopefully that was more about their O than Auburn's D. I agree with you though...if Auburn's D plays well they can win without their O even having to do much.
I thought Bama would pound them and cover, but didn't run the ball. I stayed away from A&M. It was apparent they weren't that great by that point.
Called USA last week. Called Oregon last week. Called UGA over Arky. Called LSU over OM-straight up. Called State over A&M. Called State over LSU. Etc... Been a good season so far. No gaurantee that it'll continue, but so far, so good.
I don't care what any of you say. You don't lead the sec in rushing by being a finesse team.
I'm not high on auburn beating ole miss because of auburn's offense (although with kimdeeches hurt and prewitt hurt I like thier chances).
I like auburn to win because of thier defensive line. this goes double with tunsil hurt nad the center out for ole miss. No way bo stays clean this game. And a tackled bo is a bad bo. And bad bo loses games.
Maybe auburn is not as good as LSU but they will score more than 14 on them. I cannot say I see ole miss matching that.
