    The cowboys one was where the Cowboys were beaten so badly they just knelt the football themselves to get out of the game. Which that was pretty satisfying as well.

    I would much rather someone score a TD on me than kneel inside the five. Honestly though, I can't stand those pompous a-holes in Oxford and I hope they were offended by it.

    This. Sideline guys said the same. Miles was pissed about the bootleg, wasn't gonna dare go for the review, and made Mett kneel it 4 times.

    This really pissed me off when it happened. But Miles is gonna be Miles and there aint a damn thing we gonna do about it. Best to shut up and buckle up, Miles is driving the mf-ing bus.

    But seriously, imagining what's going on inside his head is maddening.

    First of all, Mett scored on a beautiful bootleg.
    Secondly, I've never seen, on any level of fball, a team kneel out 4 downs from the opponents 1 yd line & give the ball back to them.

    It was frustrating as a fan, but I think it was classy of Miles. It shows he has character. Saban, Stoups, & countless other ahole coaches would've scored at all cost, & definitely would've passed for more than 1 attempt in the 2nd half! WOSWER!

    Have to agree. I had a queasy feeling during those last few minutes. It seemed demeaning. Put six more on the board; if they can stop a straightforward run, let them; if not, the points are in regulation and are well-deserved. What's next? Throw a deliberate interception to gift an embarrassed team some points? Do we fall down instead of tackling?

    I understand the damned if you do, damned if you don't quandary, but I would have done whatever respected Ole Miss the most--which was to run the ball, eat the clock, end the game; but a series of knees? Bleeech!

    Yes, it was a TD. It was earned against a lesser team, but that is football.
