re: Anchor Down SEC

The University of Wyoming is 2-0 versus Ole Miss.

I really can't argue with you. Vandy is clearly a team on the rise.

OM, on the other hand, really has issues. Our QB is coming off injury and a surgery that could hamper his career. Doubt he will be ready by August 31st. Best case scenario is very rusty. And he has a history of throwing picks, which will be exacerbated by his lack of practice time leading up to the opener. So we can't count on an air attack.

And we don't have a #200 back to carry the load on the ground. Our best option is a #165 biddy back, or a true freshman coming off a major leg break in high school. Doesn't look good on that front either.

Our defense should be somewhat improved, although we will still be weak at cornerback. And counting on some true freshmen to play well their first game on national TV? Should give up some big plays.

Not to mention that we were terrible on the kicking game last year, so we should give up a PR or KR for a TD.

Add in to that fact Vandy's homefield advantage, as well as your recent dominance of us both on and off the field, and it seems far fetched to expect a close game.

Vandy takes this one in a walk, 35-10.

Looking forward to a great season opener, likely to be a 1-score game either way.

I am glad you came to your senses.

I'm basing us winning this game on a few key things.

First off every Ole Miss views last years game as a game we SHOULD have won. Don't get me wrong I applaud Vandy for taking it. I don't want to take anything away from Vandy. But we feel we should have won.

So now fast forward to next year and they have a first time starter in the SEC at QB. Ill give you the RB. Kid seems legit. But we all know without a QB you can stop the run.

And I don't care what is said but a transfer from Wyoming in his first SEC start is not a good thing for the home team.

Then add all of the talent that we have coming in. Out secondary has been weak but adding Connor and Brassell will be instant impacts.

I have no problems admitting I'm a positive fan. Just the way I am. I can always talk myself into a win. But this time I don't have to convince myself that much.

Nope sure didnt. Just a nashville native who grew up going to Vandy games and hates everything about chUT. As for your prediction. I know you are being silly but this will still be a close game regardless. Im just saying dont asssume we lost as much as people think. In most cases we have actually upgraded.

If you can throw you can trow right? The kid is accurate and has a big arm. Only diffrence is the pressure. If he gets time he willl be more than servicable. Your class was nice but keep in mind that they are still true freshman that will make mistakes.Especially the CB's who will be facinhg the BEST WR Corps in the SEC. Also about last year. get this. Our best offensive player went down on the first drive, Our team was devistated. After half time our coach got them settled and we destroyed you in the second half. Should have won? Maybe if we continued to sulk over the loss of Stacy.

I would say that Matthews and Boyd are the best receiver combo returning to the SEC.

many variables to say that vandy will beat out arse and vice versa.

exactly... all signs point to a couple of evenly matched teams. This will be a one-score game, IMO... not a blow out like some goofball suggested earlier... did ole miss blow out any decent team last year, or over the last three years? Bo Wallace didn't majically become Eli Manning this offseason.

ETA: as soon as I posted this, I remembered the State game...

Hahahaha It will be a good game and I'm looking forward too it! And I wouldn't count miss state a decent team.... They were horrible last year..../ ahhaha the last three games bo has played out of his mind I have no idea where that came from
