And don't forget Kiffin will go for it on 4th down when he should punt and rely on his defense. It blew up in his face several times last season.

the plantation will be awash with tears when they lose at Tulane early
I just think they?ve got a brutal schedule unlike last year when they went a very soft 8-4. Road games at Bama, Georgia, MSU, Tulane, and Auburn. And they still have to play LSU and have loseable home games against A&M and Arkansas. 8-4 would be a big success with that schedule.
Losing a few early and then capsizing late in the season seems appropriate.
Brutal schedule? Kiffin sux? Lots of maroons in this thread.
Mississippi is 2nd in the SEC in returning starters. Year after year teams with lots of returning starters end up being very good. I said the same thing about us last summer and you guys freaked out because I said we would have a shot at 10 wins. And we ended up a Kentucky debacle away from it (the team you guys say we should beat every year). They have a returning experienced QB and other QB talent.
OOC- Mercer, Tulane, Ga Tech, and Monroe. They are going 4-0 against those teams
SEC home- LSU, UPig, Candy, A&M- could go 3-1 at home and will likely play LSU tough as they usually do. 2-2 at worst- thats 6 wins at worst for them
SEC road- Bama, Auburn, Georgia, State- they gonna lose to Bama and Jawja. I think they beat Auburn because Auburn just isnt very talented yet. Auburn lacks depth and plays A&M, Georgia, and LSU the 3 games before Mississippi. Tough sledding for Freezus and they will get beat up in those games. And I wont even get into the fact that the Egg Bowl will be a war as usual.
They are going to be pretty good this year and win 7-8 games. 9 ceiling with a 6 at the very worst
They are again trying to mold a roster very heavy with portal mercenaries into a team from August to the first game. I said last season that if Lane could do this, he was a very good coach. Lost 5 of last 6 last year after early season cupcake wins were gone. i see same song, second verse with much harder schedule.
