I disagree with you guys, I could be wrong but if I remember right Ole Miss moved the ball on us a lot more than OU ever did. I also saw a quote by I believe Marquise Hill that said the same thing pretty much. IMP OU and the Big 12 overated and if we wouldn't turn over the ball they would've never scored, it would'nt have been close
I agree with that. I believe all pro scouts would also concur. The Heisman trophy is a joke. The Heisman people need to change their description of what the heisman trophy is. Instead of billing it as the award for the best college football player, they need to call it what it is: the award to a high profile skill position player on a team that is in contention for the national championship.
Considering how LSU, Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Auburn played in their bowl games, I'd say the SEC West was the toughest group of teams in college football this season. What an amazingly talented bunch of players from those teams. Ole Miss was in my opinion a top-ten (but not top-five) program this year. They gave LSU a helluva fight, and only our stellar D carried us to victory. I think playing in Oxford was a definite advantage for Ole Miss, but I've got to give them credit for a great game. Overall, OU is a more talented team than Ole Miss, but LSU-Ole Miss is an old rivalry that brings a different and deeper kind of emotional intensity out of players. Eli Manning is definitely a #1 draft choice. Jason White is washed up because of his bum knees. Too bad for him.
I dont wear a helmet, but having been at both games (And many others) Ole Miss without Question played LSU the best all season. I could say UGA in the 1st matchup, but after the whipping in the title game. Ole Miss no question, they are a very very good football team. the SEC west for that matter is pretty solid.
I read where several LSU players said after the game that OU was overrated and that Ole Miss gave the tigers more of a challenge than OU did.
I believe this much! Very few teams match up with OU. Two actually beat them and the other is the rose bowl champ. After that I'm not sure. I don't think OU is overrated at all and to suggest so taints our victory. Could it be that we're not sure just how good this team is? This team has only had a couple of complete games this year. Don't forget that the 1992 Bama team had an offense about like ours tiger offense and a stellar defense. I know that the future looks like national championship contention for a while.
