How bad did it get last night......

From Hellenberger's CL column this morning.....

"In the second half, Ole Miss did enough to slow LSU down, though at times it wasn’t easy. Nursing an already-thin defense, the Rebels saw Whigham, Sawyer and linebacker Keith Lewis go down with injuries at some point.

With Lewis out, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze looked to linebackers coach Tom Allen and asked who was next in line to play the position. Allen turned to him and said there was no one left. Denzel Nkemdiche eventually volunteered to play the stinger position."

Wow!

Awesome play last night. Young guys stepped up and made it happen.

On another note, these last couple of weeks are kind of a eye opener as to why we see cupcakes on schedules. Idaho comes at a great time.

Exactly.. I have made that point a million times when arguing about scheduling. This league is brutal.

Scheduling will kill us in this new system. Strength of schedule is crucial.

We currently have the toughest ranked schedule in the nation.

Sagrin also has us with the toughest schedule to date... and we're 4-3. There's a lot of fight in this team.

Meh, we play in the SEC. That's plenty to get us there assuming we continue to improve. I can think of 5 ranked in the top 16(lol) we play this year in the SEC alone. Theres an SEC team in the big game every year for a reason.

edit:forgot about a&M

Yes this years is strong because we have Texas on non conference schedule. Next year it will drop because Boise is not Texas and weaker than before. And after that we start with the Memphis Mistake and the Woffords and Presbyterians. If our progression gets us into the mix in the SEC the non conference cupcakes will not help us with the committee which is not only selecting the four playoff teams, but ALSO involved with the upper tier non-playoff bowls. And our SEC brethren are scheduling some strong non conference opponents. The SEC schedule alone will not set us apart. Scheduling Memphis was so short sighted.

Chuck, I'm sure we're not in on much of the behind the scenes. I don't like playing tiger high either, but if the coaches want to, then so be it. For u to state it's short sighted, not knowing anything that's happening, is short sighted. Freeze has a reason and I think if he wants to play them, then we play them. And our non conference schedule probably isn't any difference than most teams. I brought up a couple of weeks ago how bad the whole day was as for as finding a game to watch. I realize the internet is for complaining about everything, so continue.

I agree strength of schedule may mean a little, but we are at #1 SOS and Alabama is at 31. SOS must only mean to someone besides Bama?

one thing that helps bama's strength of schedule a lot is that they don't have to play against bama.

rebeljim · Mon Oct 21, 2013 1:11 pm

Yeah they do too. bama plays against bama all summer long. That's probably helps them be bama when the season rolls along.

WildRebel · Mon Oct 21, 2013 2:22 pm

For the record, top 4 teams have an average SOS of 31. So, I think its safe to say we'll be alright.

Some people will ALWAYS find something to bad mouth, unless it has long blonde hair flowing out the back of it's helmet. LoLoL
That being said, I love Bo and he played LIGHTS OUT against the tigers!!!! Glad he's our QB, and glad to have Barry's contribution at that position as well.
