Holloway will look like Cadillac Williams against SA's defense. And Shump better look like Fournette. If Shump gets tackled behind the line by this defense then he should just be on special teams.

performance at RB. Got it. Must be the new math.

If there is one thing I can assure you, it's that we will play one QB on every play next week. Guaranteed.
Point taken here. I would counter and say someone would receive the snap on each offensive drive. There is always a chance that Holloway is lined up in the Wildcat and Williams/Fitz are on the sidelines instead of being spread out wide.
I know this is farfetched, but so are some of these meltdowns in this thread.....

This guy has been trolling on the other board all week

We've seen what Fitz can do. However, there's a lot more to being qb than having size and being able to throw the ball. I must admit I'm concerned although Williams is a servicable qb who has put in some fine performances for us.

When was that? And don't bring up the egg bowl his true freshman year.
I think the only limit with Fitz is going to be what's between his ears.

Yeah, kinda what I can't help but think. Sure he kept our defense off the field enough to keep it close, but he never had a prayer of winning that game. And as far as "winning" the game against Arky that year, he had a gaping hole through the middle of the field and went untouched 2/3 of the way. Not saying I'm not grateful we had him there and still do, but we're going to need a little more than a barely serviceable game manager to have a shot at anything other than a respectable rebuilding-type season this year.

It's going to be a rebuilding year. It's best to resign ourselves to that right now. We have a lot of questions on offense and a hard headed coach who will mostly play upperclassmen.
I think Dan is banking on Ole Miss burning to save him which he is probably correct on.
It is what it is. We will be much better in 2017 once certain players graduate and the more talented ones are allowed to play- I mean prove their worth on special teams.

Listen Man if we are having a ''rebuilding year'' with this schedule, and this defense, and this much talent....Dan better not be banking on anything. 6-6 this year will be a major failure in my book

Combination of Nick Fitzgerald and Damien Williams names.
I'm all for them settling it out on the field for whatever it's worth.

Outstanding. Hope he says that every week.

Bingo, yes, I'm sorry for being contrary, but I agree with your statement.

I think we are going to miss the seniors on this team. When you add in the schedule in 2017, I'd slow down on next year being "the" year.
