What bothered me most:
1. Our players were getting pushed around all night. Ole Miss was stronger and faster. I don’t know if we are a younger team, or if the work harder in the weight room, but it appeared that men were playing boys.
2. We constantly lost contain on defense. It would be 3rd and 8 and Corral would scramble for 10-20 yards, many times untouched. At some point you may want to consider shadowing him.
3. Whoever was covering the running back on the swing pass was too slow. The outside receiver would block the CB toward the field and the back would run up the sideline for 20 yards untouched because the covering LB would be to slow to catch him. Once again, a contain issue for the CB’s.
4. Every minor holding on us was called, when Ole Miss would literally grab the jersey or tackle our DL with no call. It appeared that pass interference calls were the same. I can only conclude that the SEC officials were helping Ole Miss finish 10-2, so that 3 SEC teams finish in the top 8 standings in the BCS.
5. We never placed another blocker to help our OT block #7. As a result, #7 got at least 3 sacks, which had to rattle Will Rogers. They were also drive killers.
