Playcalling was the number 1 issue. Same as in the games we lost and/or barely squeezed out a win last season. I don't know why it is we start out running all over a team, then once we build a lead instead of running to control clock, we start trying to pass. I guess they think "we will fool them, they think we will run it". Well, the reason they think we will run it is because they can't stop it. It is just Norvell overthinking and trying to get cute. You would think anyone who watches football would learn a big lesson from the Seattle Seahawks superbowl loss.

Those saying that he is sometimes running for his life are doing a disservice to the offensive line. If he had any mobility whatsoever he would be able to sidestep most of the pressure, and punish our opponents on the ground every now and then.

Pretty much dead on but like I said I’ve seen worse over the years.

I don't get that is dead on.
What game did you guys watch?
The game I saw, we had a qb that had plays called for him to throw on the run AND an OL that couldn't block for the most part.
Almost every pass play was like a jail break for their D.
That said, Brady still completed around 70% of his passes.

So, that said, where is Norvell getting this next Mahomes you guys say we need-like he's on the bench somewhere?

Brady White is the best we have right now.
You guys are delusional AND trying your best to make the current narrative fit your weak assed obsevations.

No Fears about Future loss need invade our heads.

Ok...I got it. Everybody, try this.

Win=Joy
Loss=Sorrow

We JOY!!!

I guess we will see how good OM is.

The issue is BW showed the same flaws he did last season.

Inconsistent.
Folds when pressured
Will not run or take a hit for 1st down

We will not be in a New Year's day bowl with him as QB...not this season, not ever..so yes there is some disappointment for those who had high hopes.

On a good note it looks like Gainwell is a champ.

Say all the negative future stuff y'all focus on is true... then it still makes more sense to enjoy this win. Gather ye wins while ye may and all that jazz. lol

Thinking about the GAMES is what we PAY our coaches to do. They watch the film over and over and over and dissect every little bit...deciding what was weak for each play....

Anyone who hasn't watched the game again...is just operating on small details that jumped out in the heat of the moment. Everyone should watch the last 6 mins...the play calling was really interesting and everyone executed. OM never got the ball back..lmao.

I like having good coaches. They do the thinking.

We don't need a Mahomes, but the stuff starting to leak out now it sounds like even Mahomes would not win a QB competition against White in Norvell's eyes.

Maybe Peyton Manning right after he won his first SB would get a shot at a true qb competition against White. Outside of that, to the bench they go and watch White do his thing.

Agreed. A couple of those 3rd/4th and short could have been converted if we just ran the ball with Patrick Taylor. Sometimes it's better to play checkers than chess.

RE: Is it time to turn to Connor Adair?
The Rebels’ offense was held to 173 total yards and one touchdown and struggled to find any rhythm until late in the third quarter. For the first time since Nov. 22, 2014 – a 30-0 loss to Arkansas – Ole Miss (0-1) was shutout in the first half.

In his first career start Matt Corral never found his footing, completing 9-of-19 passes for 93 yards and an interception. Corral’s offensive line dealt with a never-ending barrage from the Memphis defensive front, causing the redshirt freshman quarterback to stay out of sync.

The biggest moment of the game came when Corral was sacked in the end zone with six minutes remaining for a Memphis safety. The Rebels were only down by three points and looking to tie or take their first lead of the game when the safety occurred.

“We struggled to block them up front. We struggled for some movement,” Ole Miss head coach Matt Luke said. “At times early on, a couple bad decisions. We stayed behind the chains, couldn’t get anything going. In the second half we limited negative plays a little but obviously, giving up a safety, (when) you’ve got a chance to go down and win the football game.”

^ Going for a pass out of the end-zone with a true freshman qb who was already looking a bit rattled was just a stupid playcall. That basically clinched the game for us.

RE: Is it time to turn to Connor Adair?
Play Calling really shined when it came time. There was plenty of time left when we last took possession of the ball---OM could've gotten it back, scored and ...ugh too unthinkable to put in words.

Anyway..Two plays really stood out. We were somewhere around midfield. White's shovel pass was on 4th and 2...I think. That was gutsyAF. There was a lot of pressure and our guys came through.


And how about that play that had Gainwell and Dorceus lined up alone side by side in the backfield was a surprise--at least to me and the OM D, apparently lol.

RE: Is it time to turn to Connor Adair?
White is limited

This is true... but receivers weren't getting a ton of separation. It is difficult to say if that is because they couldn't get open or because the defense was daring white to throw it deep.

I just wish white could run. Defenders don't respect white as a runner so the read option is not as effective as it could be.

RE: Is it time to turn to Connor Adair?
But y'all complained about Lynch..Y'all complained about Riley Ferguson. Y'all prolly complained about the ones that came before but I wasn't around.


This was the first game--a rivalry game with a lot of pressure and We Won. Coaches work with the weaknesses of each player...plus they design plays around their strengths..that way the weaknesses improve as confidence builds.

No matter what you think you see, every guy on the field participates in every play. It's almost impossible to single out one player after a game and come up with a 'judgement'.

You just want to surgically remove a major part of our team, and you think that will make everything better. lmao....Teams of humans do not work like that.

They just don't.

I'd hate to be a reb or a vawl this morning.

ok. done preachin. lol.
I'm boom outta here.

Amazed at some of these idiotic posts. Why don't you root for UT if you want something to feel bad about?

Gotta have the confidence to reach for greatness instead of settling for decent. See:

Paxton Lynch > Piano Man
Trevor Lawrence > Kelly Bryant
Tua Tlskdjflskjd > Jalen Hurts

If Brady is truly the best we got, then so be it.

So you are saying we should replace Brady White and fire Mike Norvel. Either you don't get it or you are a troll trying to plant doubt in impressionable fans minds. IMO you should keep YO to yourself.

I also was shocked that they passed from the end zone. That was way to risky and they paid for it. But they still only needed a TD to win it.

Corral did play last year so he is not a true freshman.

Players are free game behind the line of scrimmage. It was a screen play and RB was behind the LOS so he can be tackled before the pass without a PI call.

It was a terrible decision. White saw he could not complete the pass and was trying to throw it away and for some reason instead of spiking it in front of the crowd where it could not caught he “threw it away” right into the middle of the crowd.

Adair?
No.
Brady is excellent at short to midrange (say, out to 20 yards) passes IF he has time and gets his mechanics perfect. But game situations are rarely perfect.

He’s relatively immobile. Not a roll out guy. Or a deep threat (receivers may not be, either, but how would we know?). I’m hoping gainwell can give us some of those 5-yard-pass-and-45-yard-run plays, a la Henderson.
I wish we had a stud QB to give him competition. But we don’t. And the head coach who keeps getting us players and bowl games loves the guy.
IIWII.
