1. Wallace having his worst game of the year and fumbling an easy TD to tie it

2. Moncrief being non-existent

3. Kimdeeechie getting 17ing owned as a tailback after the announcers blew him for two hours

4. Dan finally having a "17 the kicking game" moment

5. Whitley hitting Wallace again after he made him fumble

So about the jersey number thing, I thought I heard the announcer guys say that it's not only a fifteen yard penalty but also results in player ejection? Clearly neither happened and RK just changed numbers.

If I understood the commentary correctly, the ejection would only come after "flagrant" violation of the rule. Not sure how that's defined, though.

They ran Kimdeechie at RB 5 times. I wonder how many times does it take to be considered flagrant? I think we should have pushed the issue with the officials. Either way 2 Aces (Williams and Prescott) beats a Pair of 5s everyday.

1. It wasn't his worst game of the year, and if it was it didn't beat out Alabama and MU by much.

2. I hate Moncrief as a Rebel, but he's carried himself with a sense of class throughout his tenure and I wish him well at the next level. To my knowledge he doesn't run his mouth and just goes and gets it (his fans ran their mouth about him a bunch), and the fact that he said he was going to Ole Miss in like 10th grade and stuck to it... I can respect. I'd be too lucky if he ended up with the Saints, but we're not taking any WR's that early this year.

3. I'm not going to lie, I screamed like a 17ing ***** when they weren't ejected together, and I had to explain to everyone that he was their best player on D and I wanted him gone. After he pushed 2 different coaches I'm not sure I was correct in wanting him to stay. #96 proved his worth tonight. Glad we didn't have to showboat with him on O, and that goes back to the fact that no one knows who he is and the fact that he likes it that way... Keep it coming. Calhounz ma boi. That battle really only matters in about 2 and a half years.

4. I think he handled the kicking game perfectly tonight. At some point you have to come to terms with the fact that you have a bunch of guys who can't kick. Bell might have made that last kick in regulation (who knows really) and Bell might have been the correct call in the end-zone, but you've got to put it on your players at some point.

5. I heard 100 times before the game from ESPN that Wallace was a "good" runner but not a "great" runner, and limiting him on the run would make a difference. Whitley won the game tonight all by himself. A guy from Provine who tore his ACL and lost all of his serious offers came in after his second ligament injury after everyone wrote him off... and a week before earning his Master's?! 17... I don't have a Master's. I'm the same age as Whitley and I was in the same college, and while I can name you a list of guys who didn't come to the easy classes you didn't "have" to come to, he was at class EVERY DAY. 17 you if you're down on Nickoe. I can name dozens of backups that were in class every day, but I had the most respect for the defacto starters that showed up every single class knowing they didn't have to. Nickoe and Banks did.

Wallace had 6 picks all season. He had three tonight and lost a fumble. He also lead his offense to only three points. It was his worst game by far.

I think it's crap that the refs went over and told them. To me that's like when the offense lines up wrong the refs come over to the coach and tells them they need to line up right. No, they should of thrown the flag and not said anything. Just one of the many things the refs screwed us on

Idk... I think it being flagrant if they continually do so without being warned. It kinda seems like a sideline warning. Even though they throw the flag, there's no real penalty other than a warning. I think that situation might be about the same.

His only 3 plays all season were a pistol to one of his 2 RB's or favorite DT, a screen to $$$$$$$$$$$$$well, or a vertical to Moncrief. Can you honestly say he had a worst game, especially based only on his yards? Freeze was showing out to the recruits on that interview because if a guy has a chance to play with Winston or Bo/WVU 3rd string he's got any easy choice.

He actually threw 4 INT's tonight, whether the 4th was called or not. But he had just as negatives as positives in the Bama and MU games, with the difference being he went to the red zone 3+ times (I didn't watch the game) in Columbia with a 4th down pass to a ghost. Which is worse? Freeze/whoever Freeze's Les is called the worst game of the year. Put that on Bo if you want. A mediocre QB either way. I could care less on your conclusion, but it seemed like they abandoned the run immediately and decided on running their 2 best WR's against our LB's the whole game. I'm not sure Manziel could do better. Still a horrible QB, but help the man out. I hope he gets punched at a whole different fraternity party that's going on before 3 pm this off-season though.

He had 40 yards more passing tonight...

Than against Bama and had 50 more yards passing vs. MU than tonight. He had one pick in each of those games. The picks are horrible and major game changers. Add in the lost fumble and the other non-called pick.

I am glad you could care less. I couldn't care less about your conclusion that I am wrong. Jeez fella, it's not like we aren't splitting hairs here.

Putting Kimdeechee at RB was beyond stupid. Freeze was just trying to be cute with his media circus #1 recruit, and he's lucky it didn't cost him worse than it did. The only reason it worked the first two times is because Collins and our defense were thinking "he can't seriously be 17ing stupid enough to hand it off to his 300 pound defensive lineman." There are numerous better choices on that team if he just needed a big guy to pick up a few yards.

But that's my point. Did Freeze run to the field reporter to tell her that their QB was having the worst game of the year, which coaches of OSU, Michigan, or some other school without bad QB's are known to do, after the first half of the MU game? His game against those 2 can be claimed as the worst, and the fact that he went out and purposely said "OUR QB SUCKS!" to a reporter the second he sucks against the only other school the WR's or RB's are looking at says something to me.

I think I've been fair all night, but Nutt did the same thing. Seems to be an Ole Miss tradition to run the DT, but in this case it seems like it was showing off. They are redshirting their only 210+ lbs RB, so give it to those guys. They could have chosen a TE who has RB experience, which they have, but they choice him. It worked in our favor. Don't complain.

Hell I didn't even hear Freeze say that. Is that why you are up in arms? He had FOUR turnovers and should have had FIVE. It's not my fault Freeze stated the obvious. And no, his other two games where he put up similar numbers and exactly the same number of TD passes can't be the worst when he had 4 turnovers.

I think it is a testament to how good our D played and am excited we made him look like an ***. I am not giving Freeze an excuse.

Not only that, but to keep running him around the edge... did they seriously think he'd outrun anyone?

The Whitley-Wallace "exchange" after the last play in OT was AWESOME. What a way to go out... definitely karma from that "late hit" they called on Nickoe earlier in the game.

I actually loved he put that over rated thug back there. It was funny watching the true #1 player put him on his back side. I do know what you mean though. They act like he's god over there

Kimdashian getting taking out by Chris Jones. Nickoe sending love to Bo after OT

That was a huge stop by Chris Jones, it was 3rd and 4 I believe. To see goldilocks get that bump from Nickoe after OT........instant classic.

I guess you geniuses don't know that Nkemdiche played some RB in HS. It's very different from, say, us putting Chris Jones back there. I've been wondering all year why they didn't use him in certain situations, especially considering their lack of size at RB.
