What do y’all feel like the most obvious flaws are

In the 24 Ole Miss football team?


Lack of dynamic athletes in the secondary. We have some good players and I feel like we’re trying to make up for this with age and experience.

Lack of experienced depth at LB. Love Perkins. Love Dudley. Not sure how I feel about Paul.

As far as being a real player for the National Championship, if we really are, we’ll be the first team that’s ever been constructed like this to do it. It’s always been teams like Bama and Georgia. Teams that have recruited at a top 5 level year after year with major depth and talent. Or last years Michigan team. A team that had some real high end talent, but not like those Bama and Georgia squads. They relied on years of experience and tons and tons of seniors that had been in the system.

My biggest hope is that we’re like that 19 LSU team. A team that is so explosive offensively that they get on a roll and build insane confidence by years end.

4th and short

I thought we had figured it out with Quinshon and then again with JJ this year. Espn kept showing JJ was 12/12 or something like that going into the FL game.

I just really want to know if anyone grabbed JJ and told him to run up the A/B gap or not? I feel like we get those 4th downs and win the game if he doesn’t try to bounce it outside. I’m assuming no one told him to run it up the middle and that was his natural instinct. That’s poor coaching if so. Or maybe JJ just did that himself bc it worked in recent games.

Even one FG on one of those TO on downs would’ve changed the game. Those plays gave FL all the momentum.
