I could not find my post from last week but in it I brought up the truth about Ole Miss has always been a thorn in our side. It seems when we beat them 25-0 we just barely get out with a win. Reason: They have always been tough to play. Even when Coach Bear was here they would give us a hard time. Anyway that game is over and now we must, must, MUST get ready to play Arkansas. They know we got beat and now that is going to get them fired up thinking they can beat us also. It use to be we could judge our season by how we played against Arkie. I think has slacken a bit but they are still going to be a tough win. RTR!

1st quarter:
3rd and 7 dropped pass for a first down which would have been in OM territory

2nd quarter:
Bama 41  False start now 1st and 15 did not overcome punted
3rd and 1 Bama 44 missed block 1 yard loss.  go from 4th and 2 to 4th and 7 false start
1st and 10 TJY rushes for 9 called back for block in the back.  Overcame this because this was the TD drive.

3rd quarter:
1st and 10 on OM 24 loss of 6.  2nd incomplete pass 3rd 4 yard loss missed FG
1st and 10 on OM 19 going in 4 yard gain.  2nd and 6 on the 15 going in 9 yard loss with a holding call.  Penalty declined and ball on 24.  3rd and 15 on OM 24 going in and now a false start making it 3rd and 20.  DH gains 2 and Bama kicks a 44 yard FG.

4th quarter:
2 wasted time outs on 1st drive of the 4th quarter
fumble on kick off return after unsportsman like penalty on kickoff give OM the ball Bama's 31 going in.    Bust on coverage on TD
Kick off return to 45 and brought back to 13 because of block in the back.
Holding that took away 1st down with about 44 sec and 1 time out left. in the red zone.
Int thrown into double coverage with wide open AC on side line.  If he doesn't score he can get out of bounds and still have a time out left with probably 30+ seconds to go.


This doesn't even include the bad coverage on the 50 yard completion to the tight end on their 4 play drive for the tying TD.

This is why Bama lost the game.
