We enter the locker room as if we've been defeated. We're leading a horrible Ole Miss team by just 10 points. It's not the defense's fault. I'd say every bit of the blame lies on our side.
The 34 defense was unexpected and every time they send a linebacker he usually comes free to stop us for a loss. Throw in the turnover and all the times we went for it on fourth down...and it's no wonder we're down.
At least half time allows us to regroup and come up with some concrete plans to attack this defense.
Our offensive coordinator starts explaining to us that if we can block out that blitzer, no matter where he's coming from, then that opens a tremendous hole for us. He points to J.B.'s 51 yard run in the game as a prime example. They're taking chances, and hoping for the big play. It's about time we started making these Rebels pay.
