Why was Eli Manning under center on 4th and 10 in 2003?

4th Quarter
Under 2 minutes
4th and 10
Down 17-14
What was David Cutcliffe thinking putting Eli under center with all those hungry Tigers bringing the heat?

Yup

Easier to try and get us to draw and offsides.

Sure glad he was! Watched that from the end zone where they missed the FG. Went right over my head.

I have watched that many times to laugh at Eli and Ole Miss in general but this is the first time I've ever noticed that play was dead in the water whether eli tripped or not. One of the ilb's and the blitzing safety would have met at the QB right about the time his 5th step hit the ground.

I don’t know, but the slot receiver looks like he woulda been wide open if he was running a quick post or crossing route.

It’s funny to watch 2003 season film compared to the way the game is played now. Ole Miss led the SEC in offense and it’s mostly under center, 2 back, no tempo

Defense won almost every game that year

College memories. The drunk bus chants of Eli sucks...what a time to be alive

The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Ole Miss Rebs that day
The offense had not scored, with one quarter left to play
And just moments after darkness fell on their podunk little town
Mauck found Devery on the sideline for another touchdown.
A straggling few got up to go, leaving the rest
Clinging to the hope which springs eternal in the human breast
They knew that if Eli (did you know he's Archie's son?)
Could lead another comeback, the West could still be won.
The Rebs were quite determined; they refused to yield
And Eli led them down the length of the field
With ten minutes on the clock they scored their first TD
And the crowd began to roar, the lead was only three.
All throughout the Vaught, the fans cheered and jumped.
Khaki-wearing frat boys even embraced and humped.
Eli would lead a comeback like so many times before.
All the Rebs needed was one more chance to score.
With two minutes remaining the Rebels got the ball
First and ten at midfield, as Eli made the call
The center snapped the ball and Eli looked around
And he threw a perfect spiral, but it fell to the ground
With furrowed brow Eli looked to give his team a spark
And he threw the ball toward Espy on the left hash mark
But Hunt arrived there too and he rang Espy's bell
And the ball came out of Espy's hands, and to the ground it fell
"Interference!" screamed the angry metros. "The referee's a fraud!"
But Eli wasn't rattled, and the Rebel fans were awed
Eli called the snap count and the pigskin flew again
And another incompletion, now it's fourth and ten
Four decades of frustration now came down to just one snap
Fifty thousand fans rose from their seats and clapped
And now the center holds the ball, and now he lets it go
And now Eli steps back as he looks downfield to throw
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright
Somewhere the fans are cheering, and somewhere hearts are light
And the Golden Band is sounding victory in Tigertown
But there is no joy in Oxford. Mighty Eli done fell down.

Because it was 2003 and the coach was David Cutcliffe.

ummmmm lots of teams still use ace formations. the saints do with brees. they are not in the gun all the time. some of the best PA comes from being under center.
tempo? not all teams use tempo either.

Drew Brees doesn’t play in college so that part of your post is useless.
Look at the top 10 offenses this year and tell me how many don’t run tempo. Don’t worry I’ll wait.

Sure was a shame that Archie raised Eli to be Tiger Bait.
Fortunately, Peyton and Coop avoided the arse whoopings.

If Eli was smart he would have gone to an SEC school that had a real team...
Posted on 9/26/18 at 9:02 pm to The Truth 34
