The fact of the matter is that the key to victory for Missouri was establishing the passing game and running Cook on some designed draws and other looks off the pass (I said as much before the game in one of these threads). They were never going to beat us with just the power run. They could move the ball, but not beat us. Kirby and co focused their efforts on taking away the passing and Cooks legs in the second half (had to go SPY). They were successful.
Ole Miss isn't beating us with the passing game. The focus of Kirby and co this week, IMO, has been on scheming for stopping the run in all its variations. We'd rather Ole Miss find success through the air, where they aren't as comfortable, than on the ground. Take them out of what they want to do and force them into shite that they don't want to do.

I disagree somewhat. Ole Miss would be very comfortable with a pass 1st attack if we don't also pressure Dart. Bama stuffed the run, pressured Dart, and put a lid on the entire OM offense. If we stop the run and don't pressure Dart we're in trouble. They've got great WR's, good ball catching RB's, and a very good QB. I don't think stopping the run automatically equals a W in this case.
