re: The program Hugh inherited and why you should take notice of Ole Miss football

I call being able to score only one offensive touchdown in the last two games against two defenses that had given up plenty of points over the course of a season--and losing them because of that--a shortcoming. I sure do, especially when winning those games might have propelled us into a New Year's Day Bowl, a 10-win season, and a Top 10 final ranking.

And I also call striking out with pretty much every single recruiting target over the last two months a shortcoming, as well. Sure do. One that raises serious questions about why his recruiting was so much better last year.

By the way, none of the services now have this class rated in the Top 15--17th on Scout and ESPN, 19th on Rivals, and 16th on 24/7....and to be fair, without Tee Shepherd in the mix (who we all know has no chance of qualifying), the rankings would be lower still.
