    It was a little better this past week. Minus sacks, we ran 11 times for 38 yards.
    Not great, but not horrible. 3.5 yards a carry vs Uga could easily translate to 4.5 vs Mississippi.

    I really don't agree with you here. I think our defense can cause a few stops - not many but enough.

    If we can continue to hit the check downs and not turn it over, their DL will not be able to put pressure on us. Its a really great setup for us to be successful. The GA game should give everyone on our offense a lot of confidence to move the ball. I don't think they will be able to make the swing passes and check downs be 3-4 yard gains. I think they will end up being 5-6 yard gains and that will work all the way down the field.

    I also expect us to burn clock. Our DL will cause them problems.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but this is a good matchup for us.

    Mississippi’s offense is better than Georgia’s. We will have to keep burning clock and shortening game. Mississippi is going to score 30-plus

    It should be a fun game to watch..... But we won't be able to keep up. Our D will get gassed and our O isn't good enough to score 40+.

    We need to control the ball and play keep away like we did with UGA. It will frustrate them and make them impatient when they do get the ball.

    Mississippi's tempo will be the biggest difference from uga. Playing 20 scholly guys on defense against a tempo offense is a safety issue. Not smart.

    Which is why we really need the game to be moved to 12/19.

    Any reason we are not doing so? We are under 53 so we can right?

    Ole Miss has already had two games cancelled. If this one cancels, that more or less ensures one of their games won't be made up, which means the SEC will get less tv money.

    I'm mostly for playing and getting money and treating this year as a chance for practice, but I don't really want to play an uptempo offense with a severely depleted defense because Ole Miss has already lost two games.

    I had it in my head that their off week Nov. 7th was a cancelled game, but I guess it was just an off week. So I really don't get the need to push so hard to play if we can both make it up Dec. 19th.

    And their defense is the worst we will see all year long. I would rather be in our shoes than them. We can get a pick or two off of corral. Biggest concern to me against them is deep ball obviously and their tempo

    With 2 weeks to get ready for us- their D will play decently

    I would have lost vs Georgia though. Had no idea we'd be disciplined enough to sustain drives or they'd be bull headed enough to keep trying to run the ball. So totally wrong on both counts in that game.

    Ole Miss's tempo game will ruin us. With our without healthy personnel. We dont have the running game to control the clock. The combination is a disaster for us.

    THat said, I hope we play. Never back down from defending the egg. Never.

    Would you rather be the team with the improving offense and decent defense or the team with a good offense and worst defense in school history

    yeah yeah. Wyatt- your son is awesome and their D dont stand a chance. I hear ya. The Cowboy is going to be a good QB. No doubt. I may be wrong- I just dont think we can score like they can. It doesnt take a very good D to slow us down offensively. I know everybody is giddy after Saturday, but I'm gonna have to see more evidence
