Uhhhh . . . You say that "Jefferson only throws short passes" but then you say he has 4 completions over 20 yards. So, really, Jefferson doesn't only throw short passes. And of course, my point was that if you ignore Jefferson's passes over 20 yards, you're gonna think he only throws passes shorter than 20 yards. It's kind of axiomatic


4 out of 33 completions have went for over 20 yards, that's 12%. if you are telling me that's a good average with the downfield receiving threats we have, then you are just missing what i'm saying. (which i'm sure is possible, because you only see STATS)

quote:


In the drives he did have, Jefferson picked up crucial first downs on several of those drives.

Moreover, on several of the drives that Jefferson had, he could not have picked up more than 1 first down before LSU crossed the goal line


he still only lead 2 drives in which he picked up more than 1 first down. he had 2 drives which started inside the opponents 30 yard line 1) Ridley broke for a TD 2) they gained 6 yards and kicked a FG. that's the only 2 you can count that if they would have picked up more than 1 first down than they would have scored. on the others he was in plus field position picks up what you call "a cruical 1st down" then the drive stalls and they have to kick FGs.


quote:

Oh, we're going to play this game. I ask which plays, and you say go watch the tape. Hey, you say he did it, why don't you tell me which plays he did it on.


i have no interest in rewatching that putrid game to chart the throws he's made. we'll just agree to disagree here.

quote:

Translation: Yeah, truck man screwed up, again, but he won't admit it


actually not really. because although Ole Miss has lost to Vandy and Jacksonville State. they are playing with young talent and will get better as the season goes along. by the time they play LSU, i expect them to be more mature and playing better football and Ole miss/LSU games are always close.

My take on all this...

Disclaimer: I am not at any level an "expert" on analyzing these issues. I am at the very best a novice!

I think this offense is being over coached or managed during the game. I saw so many substitutions during the game it was ridiculous. Ridley would have a nice run or two and then he would disappear.

Many of the comments that say the coaches are playing not to lose is probably correct.

Bottom line is I simply do not get the logic and/or strategy of the play calling this season. Its not balanced, we don't go with the "hot hand" and the post game commentary never jives with the reality of the game. Maybe its all a disinformation campaign!


I would also add there have been some quotes from the players that they do not understand some of the in game coaching decisions...
