Pretty impressed with Mississippi's freshman

So in 2012 they play Texas, Georgia, and Florida to go with Vandy (who is getting better) and the SEC West. In 2013 they play Texas, Florida, and South Carolina to go with Vandy and the SEC West. In 2014 they replace Texas with Boise State.<div>

you can count on the fact that an 8-game SEC schedule is going to be brutal. They scheduled a lot of tough OOC games when they were playing in their 2 straight Cotton Bowls thinking they'd somehow become one of the elite teams in the SEC. That is going to bite them in the *** hard in the next several years.

Instead of 5th year Brassell and Singleton? And have them running around lost for the first half of their true freshman season? Essentially wasting 5-6 games of their careers, while a team with depth could red shirt them and have them come in as RS Freshman and make an impact from Kickoff #1.

Please elaborate......

Hell, he may not even be around for his 4th year. I think most any team in the country would be playing him as a true freshman (not 100 snaps a game though). Most of the others I agree with you though.

had he been able to get a year of practice under his belt, but then again now that I think about it, Nutt doesn't exactly have a history of developing players. Let me rephrase, at any other program he would have been better off developing and learning a year to be more effective from game 1. Unless, as in the Bears case, the cupboard was so bare that you had to use him right away and let him learn on the fly. It happened to us with Bumphis in Mullen's first year, but Bumphis hasn't really developed like any of us thought he would. I was in attendance for their BYU game and the Freshmanwereclueless running around on the field.
