What will be interesting seeing a team that has given up (what did you say 5 sacks?) take on D line that has been completely dominating teams now that everyone is healthy. It should be fun to watch (Obviously I’m hoping for more fun from the Ole Miss point of view :) )

It will be fun to see how your run game and your QB are able to handle the amount of pressure these guys have been able to bring this year.

I think you guys are under estimating us. Not that I am saying we are going to win, but this game could be very close. I undersatnd you being 11 -1 and us being 8 – 4 but I think the way our team is playing right now they are quite scary. As long as we stay healthy and play like we have been, it should make us a great team to play against you guys.

While it is not a secret our secondary has been weak, they have greatly improved as the season went on. With the increased play of our defensive line it has def helped our secondary out. We have also been able to only rush 4 and still be able to get to the QB. If our secondary does not have a good game we are going to be in for one looooooong game. But I’m hoping that with the kind of pass rush we have the ability to provide it should be able to help them out.

On Pablo M’s comments:
While even though Florida “lost the game themselves” they did fumble the ball. If you watch the replay our team was playing with a vengence to try and strip the ball every chance possible and apparently it worked out for us. Our D Line was also introducing themselves to Mr Tebow a lot which I think made them have to worry a lot more on incoming bodies instead of securing the ball. But we did force some of those turn overs (and missed 2 other chances for turn overs)

I am truely looking forward to a great game against you guys. I was there in 2003 when you guys beat us so I’m hoping we fair a little better myself haha I had to watch the 2002 game on TV and was not so happy with that outcome either… but I am never really happy when we lose so it’s nothing personal :)

I do enjoy reading these match ups, but I do think statisics in no way tell the whole story. I know that you have not watched the Rebels play this season so statistics are the best way for you to analyze them. I understand they are (and most people on this site) are going to be Tech biased, but it is still nice to read from the other sides point of view sometimes.

Don’t think that Ratliff has 5 sacks. I believe it is more like 0.5, You have forgotten charlie hustle #53 Daniel Howard. If you watched any of the games you would have noticed that alot of the sacks registered were caused by Howard coming off the edge and forcing the QB to Dixon. Not only that he was credited with 3 sacks, according to the statitician. To his credit it was more like 6. All that was done while playing either hand down or standing up as the joker and only getting about 20% of the snaps. I like his ratio fo snaps to sacks, Sadler needs to wake up and get the playmakers on the field instead of sticking to the base defense that got our butts handed to us in the OU game. When you have a prolific offense you can afford to blitz more, again I refer to the OU game and the way that they blitzed us from every concievable angle known to man, and it worked. Scoring alot of points on offense can be an aide to the defense. Stop playing scared and attack the offense instead of playing base scheme after base scheme. Any good offensive coordinator could be a star if you know what defense your up against every snap. With the personell we have, and as deep as we are, there is no reason that we should ever get tired of attacking. Bring it from everywhere.

I see the miniscule “.”. I wasn’t picking on Jake, just thought I saw a miscue in stats. Thanks for all your efforts to include everyone, I totally understand the time restrictions. Have the very best of Holidays and thanks again.

Ole Miss lost to Wake Forest on a field goal as time expired. They also blew a 17-0 lead against South Carolina. On Ole Miss’ final drive of the Vanderbilt game, Dexter McCluster fumbled on the opponent’s 2 yard line. A few breaks and Ole Miss could be 11-1. There was also a 4 point loss to a top 5 team.

Texas Tech tried their hardest to give away that Nebraska game. Baylor had them beat, just couldn’t finish the game. I’m sure I don’t have to remind anyone how close the Texas game was. That would make Texas Tech 8-4 when you take into account the most embarrassing game played by a top ten team this season.

The records could be reversed and it would not change how well either of the teams have played this year. You can’t look at Ole Miss’ record and pretend they don’t deserve to play Texas Tech.

I mean as great as ya’ll are and as great as the Big 12 is……. Surely you should be playing each other in the BCS championship game.

Wait…… not realistic to have two Big 12 teams in the Championship Game, well certainly the Raiders should be playing USC in the Rose Bowl or Penn State in the Oragne. Of course if there were two Big 12 teams in the BSC Championship Game, the Red Raiders wouldn’t be one of them.

Nope, you got stuck with little Ole Miss. To bad. Nothing to gain, everything to lose.

No one to blame but yourselves. We saw the Oklahoma and Baylor games. After that what the heck did you expect. Eight or nine SEC teams would have done better than the Raiders in those two games.

You talk about stats built up against the weak sisters of a no defense league. Give me a break.
