As many will remember, McCord was previously at Ohio State (yes Miss State was on his list). Beat Notre Dame last year but threw a game ending pick against Michigan that could have changed the national championship last season.

Worst first half from a QB since maybe Fitz down in Baton Rouge...

I found two that might be worse. In the 3-2 game against Auburn, we had 116 yards and six first downs. In Croom’s final game, we had 24 total yards, including -64 yards rushing. NEGATIVE 64 yards rushing! Ole Miss had 22 first downs. That’s right, OM had almost as many first downs as we had total yards. That was a fitting conclusion to the Croom error.

When people talk about various offenses being worse than Croom (Leach, Lebby, Moorhead, and even Barbay), they clearly don’t remember games like this: 146 yards of offense, 6 interceptions. It was so bad that Archie Manning called Henig after and told him to keep his chin up
Who was the white safety we had that got blown up on a punt return? Zach Smith?

while maybe not the worst game ever by a QB, we participated in what i would call the worst half for a QB in history... 2017 Taxslayer Bowl... Lamar Jackson ,4 ints , 6 sacks taken 2nd half...

It was like Croom TRIED to handicap the offense. It was absolutely criminal what he did on offense.

I was at all of those games, including Maine. There is no depth lower than where Croom took the offense. Thanks for reminding me just how bad it can get. It helps me appreciate the team we have today.
