Ole Miss Defense Is Better Than Ours??

[Delmar]

That’s what the Georgia guy said on SEC Football Final last night. They are pretty good but I don’t believe for a minute they have a better defense than ours. Discuss.

Ben Watson. I went blank on his name for a second.

 

[Big Orange Rob]

Based on yesterday's games alone, OM looked better. Guess we'll see how we compare when we play GA.

We'll soon find out. One thing of importance to note regardless is that Ole Miss got them at home, whereas we have to play them on the road. A good pass rush has an advantage before the home crowd with the noise that we won't have. It makes a big difference sometimes.

They are pretty good but do not have the depth we have on the line. Before Pili got hurt no way. Now toss up

They gave up 30 with our backup QB playing half the game and our O failing to score 2 times inside the 10 and our D gave up 14 - how is theirs supposed to be better?

It’s not apples to apples because we play in Athens. Doesn’t matter tho have to play well

Simple answer, no. Long answer. No. Common opponents, 3, 65 total points surrendered by them. 52 by us (2 home, 1 rd for them, 2 rd, 1 home for us). We are 5th in total D, they are 17th. They have given up 31, 29, 20 in games this season. We've not given up 20 in a game.

It was also pouring down rain which helped them get a couple big turnovers late.

Not a fair comparison. We're better. We've held every team under 20

Our defense should silence those arrogant fks

Agree. People looking at sacks mostly, a glamor stat somewhat. Ole Miss is good at getting to the qb.

I like Benjamin Watson. I also hope our defense makes him eat crow next week.

 

[papatomany]

The answer is yes. Prior to the Kentucky game our run defense was the best around, but we got away with the occasional wide open receiver (our zone leaves a bit to be desired) due to lousy qb play on the other side. Last two games our run defense has not been good. I'm worried that Kentucky found our kryptonite.

Biased take. They got Georgia at home and they’ve played mostly powder puffs this year. Our defense is better.

Ours didn’t look stellar last night. We made their running back look all-pro. Maybe just a sceme to give the little things and eat clock? Hope we get it fixed

 

[WillisWG]

OM had a good game plan and Georgia helped them execute it.

 

[HalfullVol]

No

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

I liked OM's offensive schemes better that what Hype does. As much as I don't like it is apparent his O plan is strongly run oriented to just pound the ball until the opposing D wears down. And it has worked so far so not complaining just saying I prefer the OM game plan better. Hope Hype picks up some tips from the film of that game.

Ole Miss State!

Is it possible that you have OM and MIssy State confused?

I'm not sure it's a kryptonite thing as much as it's an aggressive defense thing. Our defense is an attacking defense. When you play that way there will be some games throughout the season where you'll get gashed. The trade off for this is the fear you put into QB's. The last 2 teams ran well but the last 2 QB's also looked rattled and 1 didn't finish the game. I think early in games we play the run way more honest. The moment we get a lead those dudes are hunting.

it would be foolish to base it off one game when you have 9 games of data. Let’s not pretend Georgia is some offensive juggernaut.

We’ll be fine. Coach Inge just needs to teach Telander to not block himself by running smack into a guard instead of filling the gap. Kid has a bright future, but lately he’s been playing like a faster version of Elijah Herring.

I think they do since we lost Pili. I underestimated his importance and the impact of his absence.
