Question about Bama/Ole Miss game

Yeldon had a good game. Henry and Sims did not. They averaged 3.8 as a team.

We should have run left all day long.

Y'all tried to a few times after that drive and it didn't work anymore.

Marshall will need to prove he can complete short to intermediate passes in order to execute long drives. Auburn does have the big physical WRs that could give our smaller DBs like Hilton and Golson some trouble.

I think we did ok against your offense last year other than containing Marshall running the ball himself. I don't remember Mason doing too much. Our D is far superior to last year's version.

Not to go too rebtard but the way our D is playing I can't imagine many offenses having sustained success.

Losing our starting center definitely had an impact. How much? Who knows?

Yeldon had success early between the tackles and mostly to the left. Henry has struggled all year between the tackles, and ole miss shut down the stretch plays to the sidelines.

However after Kelly went down, the running game was stuffed and they stopped trying

I would tell you, but I don't trust you not to pass it along to Gus. Remind me after the game, and I'll PM you about how you should have approached things if you promise not to tell State and Georgia.

For one drive they ran it to the left and were successful. Then we made adjustments and they couldn't run it very well after that. People seem to forget that though. They say Kiffin just abandoned it when in reality we stopped it and he had to look elsewhere.

The adjustment was our most important lineman getting injured... yes it easily affected the outcome of the game... it changed what we could call and Sims was catching snaps by his ankles almost every shotgun snap... Ole Miss' D is very Good but not as good to just completely shut Bama down.. losing a veteran center on the road was BIG.

Another thing I noticed is that Ole Miss started to cheat up when they realized that Blake wasn't completing very many of his passes. Combine that with our injured center and a very good Ole Miss defense and you had a dysfunctional running game in the second half.

Our o-line is not 2012 where we could tell the opponent we were running at them and dare them to stop it. We needed our quarterback to take some pressure off of the line and he couldn't do it. Credit to the OM defense for taking away a lot of the easy passes he had depended on all year.

If you're going to be successful at running the ball, you will need to have a passing game that Ole Miss defense respects.

Ole Miss has a nasty defense that will beat you up similar to Bama's '09 group. I doubt any 1 thing will be very successful. You have to attack them at all levels. Our interior Oline was already the weakest its been in years and then you add in the Kelly injury and you get a dysfunctional run game.
