I knew Sam Leavitt sucked and I picked LSU to win anyway. How dumb am I?

I think Kiffin thought he could turn him into a Heisman candidate like Chambliss.  Big win for OM.  I still think LSU is a work in progress.  Kiffin will win big there. He didn’t walk into a polished machine like Golding.  He just walked away from a polished machine for some reason.  
 

State was super impressive today. Second half defensive play making and the composure after being down early. They’ve been impressive.

Third quarter was very bad for Ole Miss, at the end of the day very big win.

Two 3-0 teams in Mississippi. OM I’m sure will be borderline Top 5 tomorrow, I think there’s a good chance you see State ranked too.

Ole Miss was America’s team tonight. Beating Georgia without Kiffin earlier this year and now this? What a time to be a rebel ran.

 

Kamario had a rough start but it was expected for a young guy in a tough environment. We were already pretty thin at DT and Trevion’s injury looked season-ending. Happened last year to Whitson and his absence was definitely felt. Sucks to have that happen when the game was pretty much already over. Both teams are probably top 25. We may have a # next to our name tomorrow. Mizzou didn’t look great against Troy today, and they’re also without Ahmad Hardy so another very winnable game next week

Here’s the deal with State and Ole Miss…. I’m not sure there are two QB’s in America playing better football than Kamario and Trinidad.

 

When you have elite QB play, almost no game is unwinnable. You won’t win 100% of the time, but on your guy’s best day, nothing is off the table.

Kudos for Golding going for two, although I don’t think that they were really going for two on the the first play. But goaded LSU into jumping offsides and then a second time. Which made it easy after that.

This week a bye would have come at a good time. Wont be a total surprise is Florida beats them next week.

Both Ole Miss and Florida will be coming off emotional wins. Florida is at home. I think it will be a shoot out which favors Ole Miss. 

I think they will find a way to win it.

I'm picking both heisman worthy QB's in Mississippi to lead their teams to victory next week.  I'll go ahead and predict ESPN gameday in starkville on October 3rd as well.

Wow. I was surprised they made that big of a jump. However, Indiana and Miami haven’t had any decent matchups yet, and OM already has 2 top 25 wins.  
 

I really thought Chambliss may take a step back this year with all the focus on him and the HC/OC gone, but he is just a playmaker.   Very good passing from the pocket and great when he’s on the move.  

[Dawg83]

State sneaks into the AP Poll at number 24. First time ranked since the end of 2022. So it will be a ranked vs ranked matchup between State and Mizzou next week.

 

I hope someone reminds Lebby of Drinkwitz’s antics at the end of the game in Starkville two years ago and if State’s offense is humming that he shows no mercy.

 

Certainly a game Mizzou could still win but I think most State fans probably feel pretty good about their chances at home. I believe State is currently the betting favorite in that game.

[rebmus]

Florida also made it into the polls today. 

6 of Golding's first 7 games as a head coach will be vs ranked teams, that has to be a record? 

 

3 of those top 10 teams with a 2-1 record vs top 10 and 2-0 vs 11-25 teams in the first 6. 

 

[MSTSatchmo]

I’m sure several will disagree, but I think the success OM has had during the stretch Golding has been the head coach is mostly the result of Chambliss instead of Golding.  Take Chambliss off that team and they’re only winning two of those.  Unless you want to credit Golding for keeping Chambliss at OM this year.  lol.

It’s hard to argue otherwise, but Golding probably deserves credit for keeping the offense similar-ish and not reinventing the wheel.

 

Not saying these guys are on the same level as Chambliss but I recall Nick Fitzgerald and Will Rogers’ final years at State, both with new play callers, and it didn’t go well for either one. It is definitely possible to mess up a good thing and it appears that Ole Miss to this point hasn’t messed up a good thing.
