🏈 It's week five, and I'm thinking, "here's another QB that may not make it through the game."

Nothing new, right?

You can say the same about the Ole Miss offense. It's another no-huddle, read-option scheme. Which means it's another offensive scheme that leaves the QB open for a pounding.

jdpas mentioned the other day that he thought we'd see our secondary get tested more this week and he was looking forward to seeing how we responded in answer to questions about how our secondary will perform throughout the rest of the season.

I'm not seeing it that way; at least not from Bo Wallace. I don't see him lasting long enough to challenge the secondary throughout the game.

Ole Miss leads the SEC in rushing right now. I'll admit, outside of TX they haven't played much of anyone—Central Arkansas, UTEP and Tulane.

The last team, Tulane, is one I'm going to point to here. Wallace came out of the game last weekend because he was being drilled. It was to the point his shoulder was hurting so badly he couldn't lift it above his head. He's hopeful for Saturday.

Now, just to add a little more to that story. Setting aside the fact Bo has had good numbers running the ball in their scheme—and what happens to QB's in that offense against our defense—out of the 14 teams in the SEC only one has allowed more sacks this year than Ole Miss. They are giving up roughly three per game.

So, we have a team that is susceptible to having their QB beaten around on passing plays. Then, on top of that, we have a team who is putting their QB in a precarious position simply due to the scheme they are running this season.

They are fortunate to have a kid like Brunetti. They'll need to turn the offense over to him before the game is over. I don't see any way it ends up otherwise.

On a side note, watching Wallace should be fun. He's a tough kid that works for that extra yard when he's running the ball. BUT, that's not going to bode well. When's he's trying to drag a defender a yard or two down the field? Look out. Sitting duck.

Ole Miss better have the whirlpool cranked up and waiting for Bo!!

If I got hurt against Tulane, I would not want to play against Bama.

please allow me to re-evaluate my assessment of Old Sis. If their QB is hurt, this will be a bloodbath. If he's healthy it will still be a bloodbath by the end of the 3rd Q. :tongue-new::tongue-new::tongue-new:

but seriously.. i think of the QBs we've faced, this kid has a bit more of a respectable arm than the rest and some talented receivers. i've only watched bits and pieces of a couple of their games, but i think it will be good to see our Dbs work a little harder at stopping a QB.

I saw a headline yesterday, perhaps Monday, that they had held him out of practice for that day. I didn't read it, but assume it was to give him some time to get over his bumps and bruises.

All you say is true about what he brings to the table.

BUT, he's got a worse INT ratio than Denard—doesn't make good decisions. Our changes in coverage is going to lead to a pick or two.
