re: Official 2022 Ole Miss Football Thread. 8-5 SEC: 4-4

I agree. We are a running team now. 39/29 run/pass ratio this game.

We just typically pass REALLY well when we do.

I don’t think that’s going to happen with Dart at qb. Dude looked rough today.

Dart is improving each game. It is what it is at this point.

I thought Dart managed the game well all things considered. He had to handle bad snaps all game. The RPOs we run are all about timing and a bad snap throws the timing way off. Missed a throw here or there and had one poor decision but never rattled and overall pretty good.

Lane developed a tendency last year to go very conservative in the 2nd half of games because the defense was better than the offense. Looks like he's still heavily leaning on it but it seems to be having a very negative effect on the offense.

I am not seeing what many of y’all are seeing. I have seen him improve every game. Remember this kid only started 3 games last year at USC in an air raid offense. Now changed schools/team-mates and offenses. If this was his 2nd year in the system I would be frustrated. But incremental growth is what we need to be looking for in him and that is what I am seeing.

This. Dart is essentially a RS Freshman.

Right now, he has two areas of concern that he should be building towards.

1. He gets overexcited on big play opportunities and sometimes overthrows the receivers. You can tell when he's about to overthrow because he'll find a checkdown wide open and his body basically jolts that direction and he loses his fundamentals in throwing the ball....it's really jerky. In theory, this is something he'll get over with more experience.

2. He has to learn how to look off safeties. What I saw yesterday is exactly what I saw in Corral his second to last season(remember his 5 INTs against Arkansas.) The following season, he because one of the most prolific passers in the nation. Based on what we saw around the league yesterday.....I don't think we can credit Lebby with that. We just need to hope he can keep showing improvements from one week to the next.

Short term: It's a toss up what we could be getting out of Dart.

Long term: I think we'll have a couple of great seasons ahead of us.


ETA: Has he fumbled yet? For whatever reason......none of the websites lists fumbles on quarterbacks.

Yes, he fumbled against Tech. We got it back though.

Pretty sure

^^^ This. And big time.

Goal #1 this season was get to the UK game undefeated. We did that. Onto to Goal #2. Get to Baton Rouge still undefeated.

Yep.

Sub-goal 2(a): learn how to snap.

The Egg Bowl will be the only home conference night game we get.

Wonder what’s the latest on Evans physically and even emotionally considering the amount of playing time Judkins is getting and justifiably so?
