Things that I learned today about the Bears.

[JacksonDevilDog]

1. There is now a QB controversy in Oxford.
2. Bolden and En-Ricky may be out for a while.
3. Nutt still calls plays.
4. Defense is better but BYU is slow.
5. Reb fans still can't pack the Vaught.
6. Lock the Vaught is gay.
7. They have zero offense.
8. We will pound that *** in November.

I swear it looked like they were all wobbling. And, yes, plenty of unused tickets. BYU will be the slowest team they play. And they were lucky they weren't already behind a couple of scores going into the 4th. But they had the best recruiting class in Mississippi last year, so there.

that ole miss just lost to a very mediocre team. Had they won today, I'd have predicted six wins. With this loss, I can definitely see a 3-9 or 4-8 season at the most on the horizon. Stoudt looked okay and the D is improved, but they still looked like **** for the most part. I think their one SEC win could be Vandy, and history proves that one is never guaranteed.

..defense has improved, wait until you see what happens when they get into their SEC schedule.

If BYU had had enough sense to stick with the running game all day, they would have won by 2 TD's.

before today, they did not know who the QB would be.

Now, this might be true, Nutt will coach elsewhere, or be gone next year.

NONE OF THEM are any good...

The lack of BYU speed may have made them look better.

Maaaccckey...!

that #2 rated OL was awesome.

4. Defense is better but BYU is slow.

I expected BYU's offense to be a lot better than it was after all I'd heard about what they did the 2nd half of last year and how good their QB was. They 17ing sucked offensively.

 

[The Usual Suspect]

not

No need to speculate. Let Brandon Bolden to the talking...<div>

They scored what? 14 on a Sun Belt team? Randall Cobb is gone.

I honestly have to say that Ole Miss looked better than UK overall- but not by much.

 

[Todd4State]

for whatever reason. They were lucky.

But I do agree that I was surprised that they struggled to score points- they moved the ball OK.
