re: Stop with the "Losing to Ole Miss" talk

I could certainly see us losing. I just don't get why people are so concerned with what they saw against MTSU. We've played flat against teams we should've destroyed before. It shouldn't completely erase what they did against what may be an 11-1 Wisconsin team with a legit defense.

And if there are any concerns with the defense, well:

MTSU had 2.77 yards per carry. I felt early they were getting some good runs, but the stats show they only had a couple of barely decent runs. Plus we didn't get any sacks to skew the numbers.

Their QB had 4.4 YPA. That's terrible. Plus the only TD he had came after a near pick six and was against the backups. On the year opposing passing games are completing a higher % of passes than they normally do against us, sure. 59.8% compared to what we normally hold them to. But it's the dink and dunk stuff. I'd say it is a concern that we're not getting out there to stop them quicker. I haven't watched the games back again, but I feel like normally it's when we're dropping in zone. Tough to stop the short catches when you're starting the play in reverse.

Also, we're currently giving up less YPA on the season than the 09 and 2012 defenses.


So basically what I'm saying is let's delay the melt until maybe after the Georgia game. Unless we were to lose big to Ole Miss. In which case we should definitely melt.
