I just checked, Ole Miss landed a grand total of ONE recruit in the Rivals 250.
We're a long way from the 2013 class, aren't we?
The saddest part is with the NCAA hanging over our head, a losing season, and no bowl game, MooU could barely beat us in recruiting after beating us on the field and winning a bowl game lol. I understand your obsession now. The only hope you poor dumb bastards have is that the NCAA gives us the death penalty(which isn't happening).
The biggest problem with be all the older fans complaining about not running enough. We will be about 55 to 45 pass to run but it won't seem like that much because we won't be tearing off huge runs. Then they will start talking about fullbacks and I formations which no one on the team with even know how to line up in lol
There really going to be hacked when they find out in the Air Raid there are very few called runs. There are about 10 plays and multiple formations and a run option on each formation. If the QB thinks a run will work he calls the run play at the line of scrimmage. Typically is most Air Raid offences the only calls 1 or 2 running plays a game.
Well there are guys on here that don't understand why we aren't lineup under center and running the ball down peoples throats so...... yeah.
Your defense will be garbage if you move to a quick-strike, passing-based offense. It always is, that's why championship-level teams never run that crap, and typically run balanced, ball-control offenses.
Here's why: A quick strike, passing offense, whether you call it Air Raid like Kentucky did or Fun N Gun like Spurrier did puts hellacious pressure on the defense. Because the offense never spends much time on the field. They either have a 3 and out, or they score. That means the defense is spending far too much time on the field, and they will be gassed by the end of the game. Which makes it easier for the opposing offense to score, so basically the game becomes a shootout against a bad defense. If the opponent has even a good defense, your offense gets shut down and you're the one getting skunked.
Out of all those great Gator teams in the 1990s, they only had 1 NC to show for it. Because their defense was terrible every year.
On the other hand, the pro-set, balanced offense makes life much easier on the defense. The offense stays on the field more, the defense gets plenty of rest.
Your bammer offense and defense stunk it up against Clemson, 35-31. But bammer's recruiting is #1 every year. LMAO!!

Well this is embarassing, but there is something to what heckler says
I actually timed some of our "possessions" last season
There were some instances when our offense was on the field for less than three minutes real time.......
But if you can't run the ball, and you have incompletions, the d is right back
A lot of issues on both sides of the can be traced to the lack of a running game
So now that I have the shame of agreeing with heckler, I will slink off in disgrace.

Yet you can do the same exact thing runs do with screen passes, swing passes, shovel passes and wide receiver screens. The only reason you have to have runs is to keep the defense from playing 3 down lineman and dropping 8 into coverage. If you start killing them in the flats and with short passes it brings the defense up just like the run does.
Peveto was a good hire. He'll help our defensive recruiting in Louisiana and East Texas. He's a good LB coach too.
