🏈 Defensive / Offensive snap count through Southern Miss.

[BamaFan334]

Just interior guys, I count these guys as likely to play and rotate
Dale
Eboigbe
Mathis
Young
Smith
Ray

The DE/OLB hybrids that should play
Anderson
Sanders
Braswell
Turner (I have a feeling they will need him some to keep guys fresh)

I'd take a young hungry guy over a tired veteran this weekend to take a few snaps off the starters hands. Could they really screw us up that much if we sub properly for a series here and there? Hell, the amount of back and forth these guys run from the sideline to the field within a series is what wears them down.

Jamil Burroughs looks to have really good potential as well. The guy was playing meaningful snaps last year vs. Georgia.

He and Smith may not be perfect, but if you can turn them loose some rather than 2 gapping all the time, they can make plays.

I was pretty surprised to see Dale leading the DL in snaps....

Looks like the potential for up to 7 DL's to rotate on Saturday..

Let's keep this in mind going into Saturday afternoon. Ole Miss is averaging 85.5 snaps per game (96 in their last.) With their offense the substitution packages will be affected.

Maybe we need your definition of effective? Less than 30 points? Less than 400 yards?

I'll take both of those. What it will take for us to win.

Very true. They'll have to sub any time OM changes personnel, and sub series to series. Not running 6 interior guys out there over the course of the game is a recipe for disaster (unless by some miracle the D gets several early stops and the team gets a 21 point lead at some point).

I think the offense needs 40 to win. Yards aren't as important if you can get a turnover or 2, or force a FG or 2

Ole Miss is one of the four teams I mentioned before game one I felt could score 30 or more. The "feel" I have right now is it's close to that number. Yards? A different story. I expect to see at least 500: they're averaging over 600.

Sorry, I meant if we held Ole Miss to those 30 points and less than 400 yards. I'd take it right now.

Great defenses can cut production in half; but even that's rare. We're talking about an offense that's averaging 640 yards per game. Holding them to less than 400 would be a feat.

I'm saying this: it's all about defensive efficiency. PPD, specifically. If they can get a third of the drives ending as three it's a 17 point, plus, win.

Oh, absolutely. I just don't see it. The yards thing I'm not as concerned about but there has to be drives ending in a FG attempt and not a TD or they'll hit 50.

I agree with that. I'm excited for the challenge. I haven't felt this antsy about a game in a while.

Good to see Kool Aid got some snaps after a week off. And Story got in the game.
