It's a W

Ole Miss defeated Northwestern State on Saturday 27-7 in front of an announced crowd of 47,000. First of all, there was no where near 47,000 people at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. It was without a doubt the smallest crowd I have seen since the stadium was expanded. The Rebels scored on their opening drive but the Deamons fired right back as they marched right down the field to tie the game. The first half of the game the Deamons had no trouble with the Rebel defense on many occasions. Joshua Schene added a 52 yard field goal that did not look like it was going to go in as it was a very low kick. It was the longest field goal since former Lou Groza award winner Jonathan Nichols 54 yarder against Vanderbilt in 202.

The Rebels came back in the second half and had control of the rest of the game. The Rebels ended up with 401 yards total offense. Ben Jarvis Green Ellis and Bruce Hall accounted for about 200 of those yards. Bruce Hall contributed a good amount for the second game in a row.

Patrick Willis continues to dominate the field with 11 tackles. Possibly Ole Miss best all time linebacker only has two games left in his Rebel career. Look for him to continue to dominate in his last two games.

The Rebels will take a much needed week off this weak. The Rebels have a long list of players injured with all types of problems. Andrew Wicker and Greg Hardy among others both went out of the Northwestern State game with injuries.

I will finish this post by congratulating David A and Sam H for their teams win over Alabama. I felt like they would cover the spread in the game, but I did not believe they would win. How Mike Shula will make it through this season if they lose to Auburn I do not know. The Alabama nation is fed up with him.
