That Lee Autry isn’t playing tomorrow. I’m so glad we wasted one of his four games on Southern Miss- what a great decision that was.

This has got to be it. And yeah, playing him against USM was a waste.

They played him against USM due to injuries on the O line. They moved James Jackson back to O line as a back up and played Lee. Still probly stupid but that was the reason

Yet they didn’t need to. We were only down a couple guys. It was stupid as hell.

It's stupid to have to move a guy that's been practicing as an offensive lineman to defensive tackle his senior season because you don't have any sophomore or junior defensive tackles

This is just a guess but if the "pick the 4 games preseason and only switch for injury theory is true then JoMo probably didn't have the option of letting him sit on bench and only use if needed. If that game had to be picked ahead just in case we needed him due to injuries, it would have probably counted whether he played or not. If so, play him start to finish is right move.

How 17ing stupid. Sit autry against Arkansas and play him against UT. This is the kind of **** that makes people question Moorhead. Makes no 17ing sense.

Its too bad Dolla Bill is a 4 gamer this year or he would've been available to provide backup depth on OL. The suspensions have hurt. Not only starters, but each kid provides depth somewhere. And they would've gotten pt regardless of what the two deep might've looked like.

Mr Brian Hadad reports all players are available unless injured.

I gonna have to believe that. Unless there are some unknown circumstances, most coaches want to make sure of the game at hand and not the one down the road. There are soooo many unknowns about future games (injuries on both teams, weather, player development, etc.) that you have to focus on the task at hand.

The way the SEC wears your team down, any of the teams we face then might be so beat down we could win with our second squad.

That also works in reverse, so play for today.

They must have been thinking of Denico Autry, or maybe Gene Autry. Both of those guys have exhausted their eligibility.
