The thing that really pisses me off is the defense gives up so many big plays yet they never create any big plays of their own. Whenever they needed to step up against Ole Miss, the defense shite the bed time and time again. They couldn't come up with one forced fumble or interception that could have turned the tide of that game. Instead, the offense continuously had to drive 70, 80 yards to score TDs. It's infuriating to watch.

Bingo. Good point. We've been lacking in that department. Would be great if started to become the beneficiary of some poorly timed turnovers. Would love to get a few early ones on Saturday.

What game were you watching. Did they shite the bed when we fumbled the ball on our 20yd line on the opening kickoff and our D held them to a FG. They stepped up better than just about any D in the country could have. Especially when we turned it over 5 times.

And big plays come on again I do not think you actually watched the game just read the post game stats. Nothing any D could do on the lucky bounce off a player to a catch for a TD. And the other big play should have been called back.

Some of you on here.
