Ole Miss at Memphis

[TrueOrange]

Think USCe will be the only team in the market for a coach.

USCw aint hiring a mid-major coach.

Let the season roll on. There will be plenty more.

 

[TrueOrange]

If Ole Miss can beat Bama, we can. I get Florida and Memphis are good but talk about pathetic performances

Anyone except Vanderbilt, South Carolina, and Missouri would probably beat Alabama this year if the tide spotted them 5-6 turnovers like they did for Ole Miss.

 

[TrueOrange]

Because they can't get in a big 5 conference. They would be a good fit for the big12

That market's already too split, among other things. The Big 12 doesn't gain anything financially through adding Memphis.

Nebraska

They're not going to fire a coach after less than a year, not without him breaking some serious university policy.

 

[TrueOrange]

I think Fuente will get a better look than USCe

Agreed.

 

[TrueOrange]

Memphis actually has a very good AD. Kelly won't go to Southern Cal. That leaves the other Harbaugh which I doubt he goes. So I would think USC but Memphis will not let him go easy. Fuente is their ticket to the Big 12.

No he's not. Their football record / football success isn't what's been keeping them out of past membership in a power 5 conference.

 

[TrueOrange]

Soooo, do you think Ole Miss would rather have lost to Bama and beat Memphis or beat Bama and lose to Memphis?

They'll say the latter all day.

 

[TrueOrange]

Every time ole miss running backs touched the ball they slipped and fell. They couldn't run the ball all day and it wouldn't surprise me if something naferious was going on thier from Memphis. That + too many injuries for ole miss. I don't like that Memphis coach at all. Too reckless. Too undisciplined. It will catch up to him eventually. Some how i feel vomitous and want a drink at the same time.

Ole Miss loses, so here come the conspiracy theories, IluvdoubleD's, huh?

 

[TrueOrange]

This. Tennessee would be lucky to have him.

No kidding.

But I have been told that Butch Jones gets it.

 

[TrueOrange]

Fuente will take South Carolina and beat UT every year until Butch is gone.

He'll get better offers from other schools.

 

[TrueOrange]

DId they rush the field ? Anyone there know -- ESPN cut out to the BIG boredom game to quick

Yes, they did.

Since we were talking about memphis, they are close to a lock f playoffs if they go 13-0 w games left at undefeated and ranked temple and houston. Crazy but legit scenario. Same could be said f temple...blowout win vs penn st already, and play nd at home in a couple wks with a similar chance at victory to tigers yday...maybe 7-10 point dog.

They might be the closest reasonable argument towards a "group of 5" getting in (without you know, some MAC or MWC team scheduling all their OOC games against teams ranked in the top 5 and beating them), and it would have immensely helped Memphis had Ole Miss not lost so badly to UF the week before and still been highly ranked. However, they still won't make it in though.

The playoff setup created makes it a terribly uphill battle for any of the group of 5 teams to gain a berth. (Though it was likely done as such on purpose.)

Great DL? Memphis couldn't get a pass rush against Cincinnati, letting a freshman throw for a ridiculous amount of yards.

I agree that they pass well. It would be a great game, but we would run up and down the field on them. Ole Miss is soft, and we are much more physical. Not even close.

They got into Ole Miss backfield the entire day

Because OM's OL is soft. We are much more physical. Like I said, part of Memphis' pass defense struggles has been because they couldn't get a pass rush.

As I stated, Memphis would pass on us, but we would move the ball rather well on them, too.

 

[HoptownVol]

Memphis State is for real.

 

[volfanCLT]

Vols would be -7 vs Memphis on neutral field

 

[ReaderVol]

Vols would be -7 vs Memphis on neutral field

I would bet huge with that #.
