Let them have their fun

[Shamoan]

They have taken a lot of ****, are about to be dismantled by the NCAA for a minimum of 5 years, and all we did about it was give them 5 turnovers and drop a pick-6 as we stepped all over our own dicks for most of the night while letting the ONE person we could not afford to let loose have a field day on our own 17ing turf. They earned it and we played some extremely uninspired football in some understandably trying circumstances with our true freshman qb.

They are about to get gang raped by the NCAA for cheating. We deserved to lose and they will be punished harshly. What else do y'all expect after a bed shitting like that?

I’m still trying to figure out why ole miss played so inspired. I was unaware we were their “real rival”.

Be interested to see how you feel if NCAA goes light. I don’t like counting on them to do anything.

By the way this loss is not on Mullen. We were shell shocked after Fitz and recovered just in time to make it respectable. Grantham needs to look in the mirror bc we let them beat us with their strength. Good DCs take away your strength and make you punch lefty.

You covered it well. Our team stunk up the field and allowed the Bearsharks something to feel good about and let them take the Egg for another 365 days. Who gives a shot right now what is about to befall them. Every State player, coach, and fan should be embarrassed. The Team should be embarrassed they let Nick Fitzgerald down in the biggest game of the year after he led them all year.

 

[Shamoan]

We will know shortly on the penalties, but i consider my viewpoint to be realistic in that the penalties handed down will severely cripple them for the next 5 years. I sincerely doubt the NCAA is going light after a 5 year investigation, but I suppose they could given their numerous displays of ineptitude.

totally agree on the second part.

i was kinda surprised how little we blitzed given the results ATM had with blitzing the second half of their game. Grantham is a very good coach, but he over thought this one tonight.

I was too, but at the same time, seemed they picked it up perfectly when we did. We got to him a few times when he was waiting on long developing routes but all and all was not successful.

 

[Philly Dawg]

That’s hard to do when their strength is your primary weakness. We put our D in really tough spots with the turnovers.

What? They beat us on three big plays. Our defense played very well, especially given we had 5 turnovers on the night.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Ole Miss knew their best chance was to throw deep a lot and try to get a 2 score lead to force us out of running the football on offense.

Fitz ran for 258 yards on them last year...they weren't going to let him beat them this year. Once he was out of the game they knew they could load the box on defense...they weren't afraid of a team missing 3 of our best WRs and our starting QB.

Us giving them 5 turnovers was just icing on the cake.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Just exactly how much worse is everybody thinking OM will be under the probation/sanctions than they were this season ? They were horrible and horribly coached tonight . Their downfall doesn't necessarily guarantee us success....I think we pretty well proved that tonight.

 

[TTRams]

FIVE turnovers gentlemen.

 

[Shamoan]

They are going to be awful after aj brown class is flushed

 

[thatsbaseball]

And that's on us...thanks for helping me make my point. We've got to play winning football to win no matter how ****** they are.

 

[Go Budaw]

That’s hard to do when their strength is your primary weakness. We put our D in really tough spots with the turnovers.

And yet they did jack **** off our turnovers. People talk a lot about the Fitz injury but not nearly enough about them scoring on like 4 plays on the opening drive before that ever happened. And the scoring play was a 20 something yard run where Wilkins was never touched. That set the tone.

It was a weird game. Turnovers hurt us but never really helped them at all. They hit 4 or 5 big plays (none off our turnovers), got a bogus non-PI when we were driving, and otherwise did jack ****. And that was enough for them to win. Just unbelievable.

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

Dropping that pick six was a dagger.....but

No matter how many times I rethink our roster it still baffles how mediocre we are at WR. How does that happen this late in the Mullen era with a freakin spread offense?

 

[FlotownDawg]

58 yard pass followed by 22 yard run for first TD, 77 yard pass for second TD. 63 yard pass for third TD. 46 yard run for fourth TD. That was their entire offense tonight. And it was enough to win.
266 of their 355 total yards came on those five plays. Unbelievable.

 

[hydrodawg]

They got 10 pts off one turnover when we fumbled in fg range and they scored 2 plays later. Turnovers were everything.

 

[Shamoan]

We still gashed them and I'm not sure they played that inspired...we just didn't protect the ball. Period. Now we (and the players) must live with those consequences for the next year and try to come up with an answer for the guy that grew up a couple miles from our own stadium

 

[Shamoan]

Truth is, we probably don't beat Arkansas last week if they house that pick six they dropped.

They went 6-6 under some of the most trying circumtances of any team I can think of in history. Luke deserves a lot more credit than he’s been given. And they are not gonna be an easy out no matter how many scholarships they lose. They pretty well proved that tonight.

Because they paid a lot of cash for some decent talent still on their roster that can bail them out occasionally. That **** will dry up soon enough.

 

[Shamoan]

They beat us by out scoring us and we were lucky there weren't a couple more tds that were a half step off. Secondary didn't play well, particularly the safeties.

 

[ChinaDogSunflower]

To say that Dan didn't continually make questionable decisions on offense that weren't putting our team in a position to be successful is asinine.

We get the TO?
Throw it deep w the true freshman, first play. No PA. Just a straight rollout and deep throwback across the field

Why run the qb power w the only scholly qb available?
He was already taking cheap shots.
The only available qb on scholly we have fumbled twice on that same play.

The D/ST played their part and set up great field position multiple times when the game was close. Dan pissed it away every time with questionable decisions that ended up costing us points when we dearly needed them

D came up big a few times but our offense didn't get it done

Exactly. And looking at their recruiting class this year, they aren’t replacing any of it.

We were minus 5 drives and it had nothing to do with the outcome?

^^^^^^^. Agreed. We’re waiting to see how badly sanctions cripple them. Hell, they’re crippled now. We still can’t handle them. They have zero to play for. They’re using a backup QB. Their defense is horrid. Their coach was fired in July and they’re being coached by an offensive line coach—all waiting for their impending NCAA doom. If we’re counting on sanctions putting them in a position to be able to beat them, I’m not sure I feel very good about that.

 

[Wizard of bulldogery]

at least 2 of those turnovers we were in field goal range. that's ballgame... to say turnovers didn't affect the outcome of the game is just stupid. There are special education kids that are intelligent enough to grasp this.

Really?? Our turnovers never helped them?

It probably took points off the board for MSU.

What planet do yall live on?

We had 5 turnovers, a turnover on downs and a botched onside kick. Our defense played plenty well enough under those circumstances. They kept us in the game which is more than we could have asked for playing so bad on offense and giving OM the short field way too often.
