re: Official Ole Miss vs. Tennessee Thread

We have 4 WRs (Engram included there) with more yards than their leading WR North. They do have some "physical mismatches" however in that North is 6'4 big frame and Croom from Norcross GA is a big boy at 6'5 230ish vs our shorter DBs in Hilton and Golson.

Pig Howard is actually our leading WR and was last year as well. North is beastly but he's been covered all year and without Von Pearson (injured first game but should play against OM) and Josh Smith (injured @Oklahoma still questionable) on the field with him it's been difficult.

Josh Malone is improving greatly and will eventually be a force but he's still a true frosh and his first start was at UGA. Jason Croom has been playing a lot better since the Oklahoma game where he had critical mistakes (he let an INT sail right through his hands but he was also playing with broken bones in his left hand).

However the real problem for North and the rest of our WR corps this year has been that opponents only need to rush 3 in order to pressure and/or sack the QB. That leaves everyone covered up with defenses blanketing the WRs. Our oline sucks that bad.
