Not sure if you guys know this, but Ole Miss HC Hugh Freeze has a bonus in his contract that pays him an extra $100,000 for Every SEC win Ole Miss has.

So I guess he was going all in on that failed 4th down against A&M. However, I think Hugh gets his first of 2 early $100K Christmas bonuses this Saturday vs Auburn.

Dan Mullen made the same mistake Hugh did Saturday. Except he did it like three times. He better not do that shite this week.

I may be in the minority, but it wasn't THAT BAD of a call.

Ole Miss punts, and what happens? A&M was going to score that drive no matter where it started.

His best chance at making a stop was to keep the football out of Manziel's hands.

Young coach making a mistake. He and the team will bounce back this week. They have to.

A&M would have gotten it in the endzone even if they had punted.

A&M's drives went as follows(in order):
Rush TD (4 plays 75yds)
Fumble (3 plays 20yds)
Turnover on Downs (9 plays 44yds)
Interception (4 plays 16yds)
Field Goal (13 plays 81yds)
Punt (8 plays 23yds)
Fumble (5 plays 50yds)
Fumble (7 plays 44yds)
Interception (6 plays 34yds)
Rush TD (5 plays 88yds)
Pass TD (4 plays 39yds)

In driving the whole field, A&M was 2 for 10 on scoring touchdowns. 20%.
What was the likelihood of A&M getting the 39yds needed for a TD if the play failed? 60% given the length of their previous drives.
