50:52! Make it happen! Mullen said something that cracked Dak up then pulled his visor over his eyes and walks away.

Both Mullen and Diaz mentioned they were releasing OL down field on pass plays. That **** was egregious. Don't understand how it was never called.

Supposedly, that was going to be a point of emphasis for the referees this year. Not surprised at all it was ignored.

Most of the time I saw open receivers without a single person around them, including their illegals down field. Blocking may have thrown off our defensive play though. So there is that.

I saw a play where a RT for USM was blocking Richie Brown 7 yds downfield when a pass was thrown. Terrible

Watching this over again makes me realize how much we dominated their line on every snap. AJ, CJ, and NJ are huge. It also makes me realize how terrible our secondary was playing to leave these guys so open. I don't pretend to know defense, but why did we play zone so much with these guys? It seems like man would have been good enough. We could have absolutely killed these guys.

I'm not here to defend our secondary. Lord knows they were a weak link last year. But the majority of the plays over the middle to their TE was the fault of our LB's. I re-watched the first half and there were 4 plays where they connected between the LB's and safety's. On two of the four plays, DeAndre Ward, a former walk-on, let the TE run by him without even noticing. One play was covered by Gerri Green, again letting his man run right by him without bumping him and trying to hold him up. The fourth play we were in man, and Redmond let the slot guy run free, again without the slightest bump and he caught the ball between he and the safety.

They were also confusing the LB's with their routes using multiple folks in one area. Hats off to USM for doing this, but we need to get that cleaned up. This was the same thing No. Miss. was doing to us last year. Teams are going to continue to do it until we get it fixed.

Diaz and DM both complained

that the USM linemen were going down field, before passes were caught.

This ties up the linebackers, because they still have to respect the run.

Should have been a yellow flag.
