I.e., he's good for a pick six every time he touches the ball.

let's air it out!

Wait...

At our own 30 with a minute left, you have to throw the ball. And based on the hatred of Tyson Lee on here, it appears none of you want that to happen. So WTF is Mullen supposed to do?

as you have played hard and in the game. Don't want to go down 10 right before half. BUT, why run it and risk a fumble? I guess the thinking is you might break a run and then you open up.

Why in the world would you start chunking the ball with Mr. 14 interceptions back there? That said, why not have Relf in there with two timeouts? If he had broken a big run....

We could have had a first down with 30 seconds left at our own 45. At that point, with two timeouts, you have a shot at a FG.

I thought that was all about giving Dixon a shot at some yardage to get him out of the negative for the quarter.

right before the half???? and Lee is worse than Henig. Mullen has ZERO confidence in Lee to throw the ball, and I completely understand

with 30 seconds left. You still have to throw the ball. You need 30 yards to get in FG range, since we know our kicker doesn't have a big leg.

I thought Mullen did the smart thing. If Lee throws a pick there, OM likely gets more points on the board before half. Also, we get the ball to start the 3rd.

this is our last game. Who gives a ****? I know some might think that was our best option to win the game but I vehemently disagree.

And we were at our own 45. Air that **** out. Put in Relf. He can throw it 60 yds.

but that's dumb. I'd rather have a shot to win the game than start doing stupid crap and guarantee we lose. Lee is a turnover machine. A pick there and it's lights out. We get the ball to start the 3rd.

Going into half down by 3 after they steamrolled our *** for a TD or risking an interception that leads to another Ole Miss FG or TD? They still had two timeouts and they had momentum after their last quick TD drive.

And he's turned the ball over 20 times. So, he's a turnover machine. I just don't get all the hatred for him. It would be different if he were highly touted and not living up to his potential, then I say cuss the **** out of him. (Dontae Walker Memorial Trophy). As I said before, I'm more pissed that he's all we have to run out there.

I would have gone for it but I am backing down from my stance than the way I felt right at halftime.

We were getting the ball back.
