Miles inferred that our best chance, in his opinion, was to ice the kicker and block the kick.

How common is it to block field goals? IDK, but not great, and even more rare to block two in one game.

IMO, 20 seconds to get roughly 45 yards with no time outs > blocking an easy field goal. Of course, that assumes the team would be organized enough to run that kind of hurry up offense and rush the field goal unit in on time.

I'm just not so sure. To get from your own 25 to lets say their 30, in 20 seconds, with no timeouts, is probably about as rare as blocking a FG or a kicker missing from 40+.

Who cares? We were fricking terrible the entire game.

Miles didn't ice the kicker either, which makes this exponentially more infuriating. Icing the kicker would have been Ole Miss calling a timeout with 3 seconds left, letting them lineup and using your last timeout immediately before the snap. I was certain he was going to do just that when he didn't immediately call the timeout, but no, he called the timeout for ole miss. It is beyond me how a man involved in football for 50 years is so inept when it comes to taking timeouts.
