Robert is what I think made the difference in the defense. Once he came in he was plugging the middle and taking the double teams... I'll have to rewatch it from a more objective view but I'm pretty sure this is what happened

Bingo. Robert was the reason they didn't piss a drop after the first quarter.

Ron and Denzel were suspended the first quarter and prewitt got injured but only a concussion thank goodness. Hope he stays one last year

Was Gross as healthy as he has been all year today? I thought he played well. Once RN came in they both were able to beat their man and cause some disruption.

I don't know how it looked on TV, but I'd guess that we accounted for about 30-35,000 of the 51,000.

Game played out about as I expected, although I was figuring on more offensive production. I really wasn't surprised that we shut down the GT offense.

Late checking in, but I was pleased with everything. Bo rebounded to have one of his best all around games this year. Robert proved that he is everything he was made out to be, he was in the backfield alllllllll day.

Defense struggled early but adjusted and as it played out they were the key to the win.

Carlos Davis was fricking shite up all day on special teams. S/O to that man.

Senquez had the best game of his career. There was one play he came off a chop block and dunked the guy for no gain that really got my attention, incredible.

I still love Isaac Gross and Tony Conner, they balled.

Play calling was good. I can only remember one questionable call and that was the next to last drive when we tried to do the Laquon pass. Luckily he didn't throw it.

Rushing game was descent. I train was pounding it pretty good, Bo had the best rushing game of his career.

Receivers were outstanding.

Ritter and for the most part our special teams sucked except for Campbell's 63 yard beauty.

Overall I'm pleased. Gave us a shot of momentum into the off season and eased the pain of the Egg bowl loss just a bit.

Had that been an SEC game, we would have lost. Didn't see much intensity out there.

Bo had a good game, but his arm is DEAD. I'm already on the Switchblade bandwagon.

This offseason will be huge for him. If he can hit the weight room and have a full offseason to work on his arm and overall as a QB, I think he could be very good next season.

Hate to be a negative nancy after a big win, but we have got to work on field goal/extra point protection this offseason. We left 7 easy points on the board yesterday, and it's been a problem all season long for us. It's about fundamentals and we're dreadful at this aspect.

We have a real FG kicker coming in. I say we get all 4 years out of him.

It was all on Ritter. His kicks leave his foot too low.

Thanks for the explanation, I'm not a coach by any means.

I was pretty pissed Freeze threw Ridder under the bus even if was true. And I hate the kid had to go out like that. But hey, he will forever be in ole miss stone with that LSU kick

Players and fans like you need to stop being sensitive sallies.

Ritter sucked yesterday and I don't fault Freeze for saying so just like I don't fault Freeze for saying Bo sucked in the egg bowl.

Exactly. If a particular player has a shite-tastic game, they should expect to get called out.

Yeah, Bo was fricking horrible this year. Accounting for 3701 total yards (Breaking Eli's record), and setting the school record for completions in a season.

His arm was dead because of the missed time in the weight room this past off-season. Bo is our best option at quarterback by far. He runs the offense perfectly.

Ok I see it from that point and I guess I agree


It's when coaches blame a loss all on one player, that when I get mad. Even though Bo did blow the egg bowl. I do agree with that one
