Conner and myself are at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium as the Blue Raiders take on the Rebels!

Ole Miss starts with the ball and is approaching the red zone after two rushes by Henry Parrish

Damonte Smith with a big TFL on 2nd down to force 3rd and long in the red zone

Hot knife thru butter. DLine non-existent.

 

[MidTennMtneer]

What is the deal with tackling? Every play takes multiple defenders to bring them down and open field attack angles are awful.

 

[SpaceRaider]

I'm cheering the clock.

Hot knife thru butter. DLine non-existent.

Our LB's were supposed to be a strength for the defense....

 

[MTFAN61]

Kiffen was very open about wanting to establish run over pass this week.

 

[sWiley]

not a big fan of this DC thus far. Shafer would have that box loaded and make them air it out, especially if the opposing coach was vocal about wanting to run the ball this week

 

[Shayne_Pickering]

Our LB's were supposed to be a strength for the defense....

Parker Hughes and Drew Francis have yet to see the field so one would hope it becomes one with the trio of those and Curtis would make it a strength. Defense needs to get set up a lot faster

Henry Parrish rushes for another touchdown in the first quarter

[sWiley]

Brendon Harris so out of position on that play....

Ole Miss is a good team. But we are doing ourselves zero favors today. We look bad.

This team better make some serious progress in the coming weeks or we are looking at a 1 or 2 win season.

This is embarrassing.

 

[FranklinRaider315]

Kiffen was very open about wanting to establish run over pass this week.

Which he has. 😂😂😂

 

[sWiley]

I'm just gonna say it.

I don't like these coordinators. They are out there calling plays like it's 2005, on both sides of the ball.

It's embarrassing, and more importantly, it's highly ineffective.

 

[Shayne_Pickering]

Nice third down conversion pass from Vattiato to Myles Butler to end the first quarter at their own 39.

 

[MT01]

The only questions today is will Ole Miss break their scoring record two weeks in a row.

We crossed the 50. Wasn’t sure we would today.

 

[Shayne_Pickering]

Holden Willis motioned across the formation and gains 15+ yards to get into Ole Miss territory

 

[SpaceRaider]

There's no time for Vattiato

 

[MT01]

There's no time for Vattiato

No but when he gets it off his receivers have to help. Omari dropped a catchable pass that would have been first down in scoring range.

 

[Shayne_Pickering]

John Howse IV lays a big hit on Jaxson Dart on a blitz.

Review over whether it was a fumble or incomplete pass

John Howse IV lays a big hit on Jaxson Dart on a blitz.

Review over whether it was a fumble or incomplete pass

It was ruled a forced fumble for Howse. Ole Miss now moves from 2nd and 10 to 2nd and 18

 

[Shayne_Pickering]

Jaxson Dart scrambles for a touchdown. Blue Raiders showed some positive things on that drive, but couldn't get off the field.

Middle Tennessee: 0
Ole Miss: 24

[Hop45]

No matter the players, head coach, or coordinator, we can never cover WRs. Teams consistently have wide open WRs on every play. You can't be competitive if QB has wide open WRs all day.

 

[MT01]

I thought our offense was bad but watching this defense is not much better than watching an offense go against air.

Ole Miss could score 120 if they wanted to.

 

[MidTennMtneer]

Peasant down. Not good. Motioning towards his legs.

 

[BigBlueBrad]

Frank the Tank is down. That’s no good.

 

[Shayne_Pickering]

Ethan Ellis has entered the game at right guard here in the second quarter. First appearance of the season

 

[Shayne_Pickering]

Nick Vattiato with a huge third down conversion pass to Cam'ron Lacy to pick up 21 yards and reach midfield.

 

[Shayne_Pickering]

Holden Willis has impressed so far today

 

[Shayne_Pickering]

GRANT CHADWICK PINS OLE MISS AT THE HALF YARD LINE

The true freshman finally showing why he was rated the #11 punter in the nation for his class as he boots it 49 and it bounces out at the half yard line to pin Ole Miss deep

 

[Shayne_Pickering]

Marvae Myers has entered the game at safety

 

[tyler90wm]

They also could last week against arguably the best G5 program in the country in Tulane, who just nearly beat ranked Kansas State for what it's worth. This offense is among the best in the country

I am 100% in agreement with your sentiment, but Ole Miss played FCS Furman last week

Marvae Myers has entered the game at safety

He's been in the game. Was playing corner earlier

 

[Shayne_Pickering]

SAAAAAAAACK

James Gillespie with a sack for the second straight week

 

[Shayne_Pickering]

He's been in the game. Was playing corner earlier

Yeah I saw him at corner next play so I stand corrected. Was just the first time I noticed him

 

[Shayne_Pickering]

Henry Parris touchdown from three yards.
