Best and worst thing you saw from the Ole Miss game

Best: For me, it had to be the run game. This offense that's been implemented at Auburn has been best when balanced. 46 rushes vs 31 pass attempts. I think that's right around where it needs to be. That doesn't look as balanced as it was due to the run game running out the clock for the last 5 mins. And speaking of, that was a thing of beauty. Get a stop on 4th down to get the ball back with 4:54 left in the game with an 11 point lead and run it down their throats. Force them to use their remaining timeouts and seal the game in victory formation. Just beautiful...

I know some will discount it because it was Ole Miss and they aren't exactly the UGA defense. That's a fair point, but I watched the past 2 or 3 OM games, and their defense has been playing pretty damn good. Especially up front against the run. I was really concerned before the game that they would be stout against the run.

Worst: Ball security. We were fortunate that they weren't able to take advantage (some due to Kiffin's decisions) and turn them into points. The muffed punt could have been a giant momentum swing in Ole Miss' favor but the defense stood tall.

Overall, it's a huge win for the program and this team. They are playing with some confidence right now and we all can see them improving each time they take the field. After some questions early in the year about the coaching and schemes being installed I think the staff is doing a phenomenal job of planning to the strengths of the team. And the adjustments have worked.

Another huge game in College Station this week that I think is going to be a tough, old school, ball-control game where both teams lean on their defenses. I think we match up well against what they want to do and feel good about our chances. WDE boys.
