First, as far as the massacre that took place on Friday. I am still at a loss for words. That definitely was not the team that I have watched all year. Something was completely off on the offensive side and I think the team for whatever reason lost complete focus. I think a lot of it may have had to do with Longo interviewing for the Off Coordinator position, of which the talk is around the Sam Houston program is he did during the week while preparing for the JMU game. Apparently our coach KC Keeler was not happy because he thought Longo lost focus during the week of preparation. Now I am not saying that is the reason that SHSU got massacred , but it sure didn't help. Plus with the QB not practicing the majority of the week didn't help either.
Aside from that, if the Rebels have the skill players available, this offense will go. SHSU avg almost 600yds a game and 57ppg during the year. Yes it is pass heavy, but the Kats averaged 187 yards rushing during the season. It is a very tough offense to defend when it is clicking on all cylinders.
It just didn't happen during the JMU game....
Oh and PS.... rumors around the Bearkat faithful is that he is headed to The Grove.

SHSU offensive coordinator Phil Longo is a very strong candidate at Ole Miss sources have told FootballScoop. Over the weekend we heard from multiple sources that Ole Miss was hoping to complete the hiring Tuesday or Wednesday pending final clearances.
