OleMissmanagement at the end (partly on Bo, partly on Hugh).

I put it all on Bo. Freeze called a great drive to get us into position to kick a field goal. That last play with the interception was ALL on Wallace. He was supposed to roll out and if there was something open on the sideline he was supposed to hit that receiver and they would step out of bounds for an easier field goal attempt. If nothing was there, like there wasn't, he was supposed to throw it away and we attempt the 47 yarder. But no. He decided to take shite into his own hands and it cost us a chance at the game.

I agree the last pass was all Bo (and certainly not what Freeze wanted), but I do think the delay of game prior to it was on Freeze (which created the dilemma to begin with). I also think Freeze should have still kicked the FG from 47...it wasn't a good decision IMO to risk not getting at least a FG Attempt

It was just a chain of events that both freeze and Bo really botched.

Bo Wallace is still a gunslinger no matter how much Freeze has tried to curb it. In crunch time his true nature came out.

He's given the Rebels two great games against LSU. It was his mentality that almost made 2012 an upset. It cost you last night, maybe.

Disagree with this. It's all on Freeze, he's the head coach. Down 3, 9 seconds left and no timeouts, and you have just moved to where you have a 42 yd FG to tie and send it to OT. There should be no hesitation or doubt, you have the FG team ready to go. Freeze butchered that and got a delay of game.

People blame Wallace, but he is was he is, and Freeze messed up more by putting him back out there for the last play. So he was supposed to... what? Get back the 5 yds Freeze just gave away? The kid had been shaky all game, but was able to get them in FG position when it mattered, and then he was thrown back out there when his head coach screwed up. He is cocky (not necessarily a bad thing for a QB) and took a shot.

And then, Freeze may have made a huge mistake by calling out Wallace in the post-game, saying Wallace made a mistake. Remember, Ole Miss has Auburn next week... and you just threw the starting QB under the bus for doing something, on a play that was entirely your fault to begin with. I don't think the players will take that very well.
