Totally agree. This is a large part of why I'm not too unhappy that we're no longer playing A&M as that game was always perceived the same way. Nothing positive was ever gained by beating them. The key difference is that I am saying A&M sucks, though.

I think above all, this is a huge test for Ash. This is a game where we should come away with a much better feeling as to how he has progressed from last year in terms of making the right decisions under pressure. He'll certainly have the home crowd to contend with, but also a defense that I expect will give him some different looks and bring pressure at times to force him in to bad throws. I also expect them (Ole Miss) to try and stop the run early. Our line has to be able to step up and give Ash enough time to make his throws, so I would call that test number two.

Everything has a different feel to it on the road (especially early in the game) and so while on paper we should be able to win this one, I'm not as confident in terms of predicting a blowout. I think this could be a low scoring game, something along the lines of 28-14 type of win. SEC games tend to slow the tempo of the game, so it will be interesting to see how our offense comes out early. If we are successful in our run game early on, then the score seperation could be much higher. I still expect Harsin to come out and change things up a bit. I would look for him to come out passing (short routes) to get Ash going and settle him down early. I think Ole Miss will be looking for the run early, so will see what happens. No matter what, this one should provide a much more realistic view of the state of the team going in to conference play,

I'm watching the replay of their UTEP game right now, UTEP could easily be winning this ball game. Went for it on 4th and Goal at the 1 and then threw a pick in the end zone on their next possession. Ole miss also fumbled and were lucky to get back on it.

Should be a good contingent of burnt orange there, so I'm sure they'll have no problem drinking it, but as papa says beware of the cheap stuff.

they also seemed to drop the all from what i could tell was no reason .. well see if they can force that many turnovers on what seems to be a very ball controlling offense
