Memphis has scored 35, 43, and 77 pts in their first 3 games. Of course - they have played SE Missouri, Kansas, and Bowling Green but they can score.

Ole Miss is clicking with Kelly and the WR's, they will blow Memphis out.

Ole Miss is gonna handle Memphis this year, for sure. That said, Memphis will play with them for a bit. Bowling green isn't exactly a doorknob...they've won their conference three years in a row. To hang 77 on them is pretty impressive.

I agree with the post about the Memphis fans - unbearable.

I say OM comes out with an early at least 2 TD lead, Memphis makes it interesting, but OM pulls out the win.

I remember a lot of talk like this last year too.

Not saying I pick Memphis to win, but here is no reason in the world why Memphis can't beat UM again after the way they thoroughly handled the Rebs a season ago.

Can Memphis run the ball? Do they have a mobile QB? If so, they can win.


From what I saw, the answer is yes to both of your questions.

I think the bigger question is whether or not they will be able to stop Ole Miss. I think it will be a high-scoring game but I don't think they will be able to score with Ole Miss.

uh... I have to assume you don't live in or near Mississippi?

As much as I hate ole miss, I won't be sad if they win. These bandwagon memphis fans are unbearable.

It's pretty much common knowledge throughout the known universe that the most unbearable fans are, in fact, Bear fans.

I want them to lose every game, in every sport, every time they ever play. And even if they did, I'm pretty sure they'd still be smarmy, pompous, faux-preppy, bow-tie wearing ********. If you lived among them you'd know that by now.

Ferguson might be the best QB Ole Miss plays all season. He's got a lot of talent. They should be able to score.

My interaction with ole miss fans is limited, but I've had random memphis fans start talking trash to me at my sons soccer game about State being scared to schedule them now, and other ridiculous noise. I was just sitting there wearing a State shirt. My dad may be the worst, but he is the epitome of a bandwagon fan, I'm used to it and just tune him out.
When ole miss fans say anything to me, I just point out how their administration has lied to them and how the NCAA has dealt with liars in the past. That usually works.

I wouldn't be surprised if OM wins out the rest of the year

Their recruiting "tactics" over the last few years have set them up nicely this year. And say what you want about him, but Freeze can seemingly coach some offense.

I think the game against A&M in College Station is a tough one for them but they have the talent to win out.

I'd love for you to be right...

but I think last year was a fluke. They'll be up for this year and won't take Arkansas for granted like they did last year.

Arkansas does what they hate to defend and that's run straight at you.

And A&M looked really good as well with Knight at QB.

I was impressed with both teams Saturday night. The fact they play those teams on the road - I give the edge to the home teams. If it was in Oxford - I would be more likely to pick OM.

This is a very dangerous game. I'd be shocked if Memphis won, but I can easily see them making Ole Miss sweat this one out.

Oh, I think Ark will score on them...

I just don't think they have the defense to hold OM under 40 or so.

I think they should win out. If I were going to bet, I'd bet they drop one they shouldn't and finish 9-3. Ark and A&M could both beat them and they could have a crazy loss like Memphis last year.

Hell yes. Let them lose a game or 2 and they will be back to drawing 10K at the Liberty Bowl.

Interesting everyone said OM would skull drag them last year too. Remember last year OM was hanging 60+ on everyone they played and everyone thought they were world beaters. Memphis said "none of that here!" Now with that said I think OM still wins but it may be closer than everyone thinks. OM 48 - Memphis 34
