Him or his model?
He indicates when his own predictions diverge from his model. I don’t believe that was the case with his pick on us last year.

Incorrect. He had us at 8-4.

Just a poor old citizen happy to finally see some development here.
My wife actually just took a job at the FedEx distribution center there. With all of the corporate consolidation, she had to leave her role in Olive Branch. It was either there or North Memphis, so in that case, Batesville doesn’t seem so bad.

Eventually, they'll just let guys play indefinitely as long as they are enrolled in a class at the school.
The NCAA and the schools will fight that to the bitter end in court if they’re smart. At some point, the NFL is going to push back on this. If they feel their talent pipeline is starting to become less reliable and that “college football” is morphing into a pro competitor, they can just lower the draft entry age and change the rookie scale so the best players leave college a year or two earlier.
It is absolutely in the sports’ best interest to have retain some kind of age or years cap that the NFL is good with to hold the status quo with the draft.

At first I found it suspicious that he seemed to finally break into a starting role after 4 years of bench riding and the school just spending $40 million of donors' money on the roster. But hearing Braelin Moore talk about him, it sounds like the light just turned on, the game slowed down, and now he's a solid starter. And at 22 years old, he's pretty much a grown man with 4 years of weights and practice behind him.
It looks like they just had him locked into the wrong spot and couldn’t see past it. Bordelon played well at Guard in the bowl game vs Baylor when we were very short on experienced OL. Then they evidently put him back at Tackle and left him there with the occasional blocking TE reps. If he was a viable option at G then he should have gotten reps there, especially when things with the OL really went south in the 2nd half of the season.
I do love seeing a late-career success story like this, especially when they’ve become the exception and not the rule in more recent years. You have to respect a kid who sticks around, puts in the work, and sees it pay off. Sometimes OL take a while to develop and I’m sure the change in coaching has benefited him, as well.

Ole Miss has never worn a jersey with a Confederate-Rebel flag on it.
The reference is clear to anyone paying attention. Their traditional home jersey is navy with gray pants and red and white trim. The helmet has been powder blue and navy blue at various times. They have also worn red jerseys.
If you can’t see the association with the Confederate Flag and Battle Flag, then I don’t know what to tell you. Their stadium used to be full of them with Col Reb on the sidelines. I can remember this vividly from up until I started HS.
These colors were chosen when they were first implemented for a reason and the current Ole Myth admin has been doing everything possible to disassociate with that past.

That was just because he had to get Ole Miss out of their regular Confederate jerseys.
And their fanbase was 100% behind the powder blue variations and the Realtree bullshite. So was their athletic dept. Our fanbase will never be good with anything beyond what has been done up until the last two seasons.
Kiffin has no reason to cause drama over something the LSU admin and fanbase don’t want. I think he’s smarter than that.

They have awesome traditional uniforms and Kiffin really fricked it up.
Facts, people.
Ole Myth started wearing powder blue helmets back when Vaught was the coach. They have gone through cycles over the years, but that isn’t some new thing.
As for the resurgence of wearing powder blue- that started under Freeze. He’s the one who started bringing it back for big games and shaking up their uniforms.
Their athletic department has 100% on board because it was something else they could sell to their fans. Same with the Realtree helmets that were brought up earlier. I think they look terrible, but that’s their top booster and he gets what he wants. Their fans eat it up, as well.

We didn’t “break tradition.” The NCAA mandated color jerseys at home. We went back to White at home as soon as they allowed the exception in 1995.
re: Will Baker’s Defense finally be able to stop a mobile QB?

Other than Perkins freshman year we have not been able to pressure the QB against good team for at least five years
We actually did a better job pressuring the QB last year. The major issue was getting mobile QBs on the ground. We had a bunch of solid guys who played their roles, but we didn’t have guys who could finish off those plays in the backfield.
Reliford showed flashes before he got hurt, but we don’t know what he would have looked like vs a better offense, because it turned out that Clemson sucked.
I definitely agree with you about overall talent level. It REALLY bottomed out in 23 and it’s been a long climb to get back to some level of stability.
quote:
And for everyone saying "Whit was hurt" as a reason why we struggled. Then you have forgotten Whit led the SEC in tackles in '24 and we still struggled with stopping a running QB. Go back and look at the South Carolina game in '24 if Sellers doesn't get hurt we likely lose that game. He gashed us on runs including at 75 yd td run. Bama embarrassed us running the QB lmfao.
Yeah, having slow as hell Penn in the middle, Perkins looking absolutely lost most of the time (before getting hurt), and playing 2 of the worst Safeties in the SEC really helped us defending mobile QBs in 24.
If this is who you are relying on to make the right reads and get guys on the ground, then there’s a ceiling on what any DC can accomplish. Thankfully the talent situation is better now, so the results need to follow.
quote:
I’ve been very disappointed with his development & cohesiveness of the front 7. I also don’t really feel confident we will see a Q4 stop in the big gamewhen we need it from him.That’s just my opinion.
It’s very, very simple. It comes down to overall talent, which the defense had fairly little of after the utter collapse in 23. Guys like Swinson, Weeks (when healthy), Delane, Alexander, Woodland, and Halsey have all thrived in his system, but they all have legit SEC talent.
Now look at the REST of the defense the last 3 seasons. Look up front the last 2 years- a whole lot of good to average inside 2 years ago and across the front 4 last year. 0 difference makers up front. Look at Safety and Penn at LB 2 years ago- not even close to SEC level. The CBs other than Zy 2 years ago- freshmen or not good enough.
We’ve been getting by on a lot of very average to frankly below average players by top SEC standards on defense, bolstered by a few very good ones and a decent scheme. But top offenses in this conference overcome scheme. You must have the talent to win on that side of the ball. This is by far the highest overall talent level we’ve had on defense since Baker got here, but even now we still have thin spots at DB and DE due to injuries.
If you want to knock the overall defensive recruiting, that’s valid. Now it’s improved dramatically over the last two years in both HS and the portal, but let’s be honest- that’s more about getting the money situation right than Baker or his staff in today’s world.

Dylan Carpenter seemed to have a good first few days as well. Don’t be shocked if he works him way into the rotation
He’s solid and should be good against the run. He’s just not an elite pass rusher.

Bakers defenses are too aggressive against mobile qbs. Miami isnt a good comparison though, their defense, specifically the line crushed almost everyone, they were elite. Baker needs to prove his defense can defend in multiple ways, including without bringing a ton of pressure outside the front 4. Pressure by blitzing mobile QBs will get you killed when you play alot of man
We played a lot of zone vs mobile QBs last year. A major issue was that our LBs and Secondary never played very well in it. We also dropped 7 of 8 plenty, but the front 4 never got pressure after Reliford went down early in the season. We had to play some man and we never had anyone play well as a spy vs mobile QBs. Whit was slowed by injury or out, Keys was too slow and Perkins just had absolutely no IQ for the role. If your zone is shaky, you don’t have a reliable spy, and your front 4 struggles to get mobile QBs on the ground, these become major issues to try and work around.
There are only so many weak spots you can scheme around. The defense was frankly full of them in 2024. Last year was better from a talent perspective, bur we still didn’t have enough difference makers on defense. There were two in the secondary in Delane and Halsey, but the other Safety spot was just ok, and our DL just didn’t have enough talent to affect games. Losing Reliford and having Weeks injured or out all of last year really hurt. Perkins not adjusting to the new role (again) was also an issue.
Baker’s defense had a couple of rough outings last year. However, he also turned in a 23rd ranked scoring defense playing in support of an offense that couldn’t take any pressure off of them. That ranking is probably higher than the overall level of the defense without Reliford and a full speed Weeks.
With the talent that’s been plugged in on the DL, LB and Safety, we should be in good shape as long as we keep the CBs healthy. That Anding injury really hurt. But some strides really do have to be made this year because of the upgrade in overall talent and depth.

I don’t need any color glasses to see how petty and pathetic Ole Myth looks doing this very publicly just before the season. This could have been handled in a million different ways. As in every fricking case since Kiffin left, they have chosen the angry, bitter, overly-dramatic jilted lover route.
If this were LSU, I wouldn’t be a fan. Handle this shite earlier or after the season is over.

It may not be that simple. He may be looking for an opportunity to start more and with all 3 of ours from this year returning plus what we’ve brought in, that’s very unlikely.

I’ve never been a big Pearson fan. I’m sure he’s a good dude. He’s just not special at the plate or in the field.
I give credit to Pearson for improving year over year and then improving at 3rd base over the course of this season. That said, he’s a PH and reserve infielder in the SEC. That just seems like his ceiling. But we could do a lot worse than a guy who can competently play 3rd and started most of a conference season off the bench.
Maybe it’s in another year, but I think he eventually hits the portal to have a bigger role somewhere else.
