It's a two way street on most close holds but when a defender breaks off and the lineman is behind him, arm outstretched dragging down field, it should be called. Those are the ones that one the gumps dare pull without fear of flag.
Hate to be Mr. Negative here, but we are in trouble on defense against any competent running offense. Not only were we out of position, but we were also pushed out of position. Maybe feed those guys raw meat or something, but we need our best D in 2nd half, brutally putting the opponent away in blur of hopelessness and despair. It does us no good to run up 42, if a good team has the capability of running up 43!
Alabama is the only team left on the schedule with a good running attack. Neither team will score 42 or 43 in that one. Ole Miss can't run the ball. They won't score anywhere near 43 points like they did vs the gumps.
Ole Miss will be tough for our dbs. I'm thinking they're up to the challenge, but it looks like they'll be a tough out. We should be able to eat clock and grind out long drives, but if not we could easily lose.
Excellent review @red55 the only thing I would add to the good is that the coaches continued aggressive play calling late in the game. They called for passes on 1st down and all were more aggressive than those called in the 1st half. They didn't sit on the lead.
