Ole Miss rushed for a net 279 yards. The last time the Crimson Tide gave up more rushing yards was against Ohio State in Jan. 2015. The Buckeyes rushed for 281 yards, led by a gaudy 11.5 yards-per-carry average by Ezekial Elliott. The last SEC game the Tide yielded more was the 2013 Auburn game when the Tigers rushed for 296 yards.
It's easy to say it's early yet and ole miss plays a weird and quirky offense, yep and so do the barners. And in this league, it gets late early. Our next game will be the halfway mark.
The now 2-3 Ole Miss Rebels ran 88 offensive plays. If anyone was wondering just why things snowballed against our defense in the 4th quarter, there you go. Let's try this, let's do something about ole miss ability to sustain a crap offense for 4 quarters. The QB can't throw and mostly he was just running around and making stuff up as he went. Memphis held the rebels to 10 points, California held them to 20 points, and even the worse SEC defense in the West, Arkansas, gave up 31. Stats say they all did better or no worse than out effort.
Christian Harris can't identify when he has coverage. It got him a seat against SC and our DBs are still having to line the kid up correctly. How in the world is a kid who played safety in high school not getting this?
We are still taking lousy angles to the ball. Not sure at this point of the season if we aren't just looking at another constant part of the Golding tenure. Shouldn't these kinks be getting worked out by now? And so it goes as the same crapfest continues.
As I said, it gets late real early in the SEC. These aren't just games being played, these are blueprints being passed around.

Well, no. At the start of the 4th quarter, the score was 52-17. I don't have a participation chart by quarter in front of me, but I'd be willing to bet a large chunk of our defense at that point consisted of second- and third-string players (which, due to injury, would normally be third- and fourth-string players). I suspect that contributed greatly to Ole Miss' success in the fourth quarter.

We DID do something about Ole Miss' ability to "sustain a crap offense for 4 quarters" -- namely, they didn't do much of anything at all offensively for about 2.5 quarters. We gifted them seven points early in the first quarter. Other than that, they scored 10 points when the game was even remotely in doubt. It was 52-17 at the start of the fourth quarter.

Plumlee was 7-7 passing against Cal for 82 yards, and ran for 53 yards against them. All of that was late in the 4th quarter. He almost led them back to a win (or at least a tie) in that game. This is the same Cal that was ranked 15th last week, before being upset by Arizona State.
Against Alabama, he was 10 of 28 passing (36%). His running ability was the difference, and his running ability is worlds better than Matt Corral. Who, by the way, was the QB in the other games you noted.
Our experience on defense is in the secondary. When you have a bunch of young and inexperienced defenders in your front seven, and you're suddenly facing a very mobile four-star quarterback for whom you have a grand total of six minutes of game film, this type of thing can happen.

Hate to tell you this, but Golding doesnt coach all these players. Even Saban is involved in coaching them. Go tell the GOAT how to coach.
There are other factors that you will not listen to. First, we gave them 2 extra possessions. One on the fumbled punt, and second when we blocked the put and scored. Both times the Def and held and had to go right back out on the field.
Plus, we get so far ahead of these teams, that in the 4th qtr our defense is covered up with subs. And, as Saban said we score so fast, the defense has to play more possessions.
You cant just compare stats. We might smash every offensive record that Ala or the SEC has on the books. Does that make our OC the best to ever coach? Heck no it doesnt. But it does put our defense right back on the field when we score in 4 or 5 plays.

Except they didn't. When Bama was up 45-10, OM had a sustained drive for a field goal and a short field drive for a TD. The other 8 drives were punts and one at the end of the half. They didn't sustain shait. They had roughly 250 total yards.
They ran roughshod over us in the latter stages of the 3rd and all of the 4th when we started subbing liberally (see SoG's thread) and gained as many yards in their last 5 possessions as they did in their first 10.
What you're doing is letting the emotional reaction to a bad finish give you a false impression of the entire game.

Because he played safety in high school?
Dude has never played a down at linebacker in his life and is starting at MLB in the SEC after being on campus for 2 months and you're confused as to why he might be confused?
