Thoughts on Freeze

[Lord_Baelish]

Management of the game last night? Offensive minded coaches like Rev Freeze and Malzahn seem to always put their defenses in impossible situations. They go really fast and don't have the depth on D to keep up in the second half.

Barring another 5-turnover effort from Bammer, you're looking at a blowout in a couple of weeks. Bammer looks like an NFL team. OM has talent but Bammer's back-ups could start for most SEC teams.

Go ahead and get your jabs in on State too. They will be much improved by the time November gets here. I'm not so sure OM won't go ahead and try to use their upcoming bowl ban this year. I doubt the NCAA will let them do that though.

We don't have to get jabs in on state. They do it to themselves. You had the greatest team in your history along with the greatest qb you have ever had and still got smoked by us. You better be greatly improved or we will hang a hundred on you.

As for bama, we heard that crap the past 2 years too. The bottom line is our team is young and we had some unfortunate injuries last night. We could have lost by a hundred and it still wouldn't change our standing in the SEC. You better hope Cocky doesn't go and blow all over you this weekend.

And your school bought the best team in it's history and got a 3rd place finish in the West ! Hope it was fun! You're about to get hammered back to the Coach O days.

You OM folks act like the aberration in the series is Bama whipping that arse for 100-plus years and that the last two fluke wins are now the standard. OM got lucky the past two games and I've got a feeling Kiffin is going to bust the bulbs off of the scoreboards this time.

Don't have a dog in this scuffle...

But, I have to agree with the OP that nothing helps a team coming from way behind than an opponent's offense that runs little clock....especially if you can 3 and out 'em.

The clock is a weapon the same as a great RB. You get ahead, you eat clock.

The fact that the Seminoles offense had the ball all but 17 minutes of the 60 minute game, tells you that they had a lot of time to mount a comeback.

And what did they do when they were ahead with 3:40 left and Ole Miss needed a score...they ran the clock until they ended up kneeling with the ball.

Agreed. That "hurry up before a defense can get lined up" is a peewee approach to football that allows underdog teams with less talent to play with superior teams and pull off upsets. That brand of football can win you a game, it can't win you a championship. I see programs all across the country use this approach to football to rise up from the ranks of obscurity to knock off some highly ranked teams, then they struggle to convert that success into any hardware or sustained succeess. It simply doesn't work long-term. you have no way to protect a lead and put teams away.

Bingo. Gimmicks can win a game but they don't win championships. That's why both Freeze and his pal Malzahn can occasionally win a big game, but neither can win the titles. It still amazes me that Freeze beat both LSU and Alabama last year, and still found a way to not win the West.

If you watch closely you might get to see it this time around again.

Watch what, another third place finish in the west for the Rebs and another NC for Bammer?

2nd rate programs celebrate conference titles. 1st rate programs celebrate national titles.

Ole Miss, of late, is a top rank program. Able to compete with Saban and the Hatter.

Losing Tunsil to the NFL may have had an affect on the O line in their first game without him. But much of the difference between halfs was due to FSU's adjusting their schemes.

When the Noles moved their DE over to play at the DT spot, and pulled a 2nd string LB off of the bench to play rush DE, it made for a much quicker QB rush playing against the bruiser Rebel line.. At the same time, the backs went from zone to man coverage, fixing the communication problem and broken coverages.

The Ole Miss defensive front looked plenty stout to me and kept their motors running while on the field almost 43 minutes.

Not sure why neither of our team's running game worked well....us Noles think that our rush offense was just stuffed by a very good Rebel D line. Jimbo adjusted somewhat by having the QB check down to Cook flaring out for short passes.... for 100 yards total.

As an outsider looking in, I would say that Coach Freeze, like many coaches, is highly invested in his scheme and does not want to make in game adjustments to suit a particular game situation. At some point in his career, I imagine that he will adapt more.

As Darwin said..."adapt or die"...and that is sometimes true in football.
