Please explain something to me. How can a team score 42 points against Ole Miss one week and the very next week

Mizz defense is average. Miss defense is one of the worst in the game. Plus all the other factors from this week.
Well, I certainly see your point and agree with you to some extent. But, we've had 60 years of other factors since I've been a Gamecock fan.
When Shi Smith went out, Missouri stacked the box. That’s probably the main reason.
The events of the week surely had something to do with it but I get what you are saying. This kind of large inconsistency in play on both sides of the ball have been the hallmark of the Muschamp era. And this is still his team.
Because Missouri watched film from last week and actually used what they learned from it. All they had to do was stop Kevin Harris and they loaded up and did that. And they have one of, if not the best, linebackers in college football.
That and we cannot complete a pass further than about 8 yards
Different game, different team, different circumstances. different schemes . No two games are ever exactly the same.
Welcome to College Football.
Welcome to College Football.
Because the results from one week have no bearing on what you do the following week against another team.
And we were missing out head coach, about a half dozen defensive starters and our best WR... So??
Like someone else said, Ole Miss has one of the worst defenses in all of college football. Missouri may not be great on defense but they have been solid against the run all year. That plus the fact that they were stacking 8 men in the box and we lost our best WR on the first possession and you have what we all saw.
Sounds like you are making excuses for Mizzou. I never said we don’t suck, I was just stating facts... Your attempt at quoting me was a real mess BTW
It was obvious Missouri had only one plan and that was to shut down the run and they did that very well! Nobody is scared of the USC passing game even with S. Smith.
“They were missing players!”
well we were missing players too
“that’s no excuse!”
well uh. Hmmmmmmmm
Ole Miss defensive line isn't very good. Coming into the season Mizzou was supposed to have one of the better DL's and they have one of the best LBs in the conference. Plus after Shi went out, the safeties pulled up in run support.
I think there were several factors; Smith going out early, Hill's immobility (as it has been for some time now), and having 4 key players opt out since last week. That had to have a psychological effect on the team.
Ole Miss has a historically bad defense especially against the run . Y’all realize Kentucky rushed for FOUR HUNDRED YARDS against them . Mizzou is not great but pretty solid and well coached + they were missing half their starts . Don’t evaluate our offense based on Mizzou and a Vandy team that was on the verge of forfeiting due to Covid depleting the roster . We are not very good which is kinda obvious
It should to some extent. My gosh, you have the opportunity to construct a game plan against your opponent. I mean Missouri is a bad team.
Are they ? They are now 3-3, and beat us with only 56 scholarship players available to play on Saturday.
As the adage goes "You are what your record says you are". 3-3 is average.
We are the bad team.
Carolina have been successful on offense this season when the edge run game is working. That opens up the rest of the offense, in so much as this offense can be opened up. There have been two games where it hasn’t really worked at all— A&M and Missouri. Two things need to happen for the edge run game to work. 1. The TE and/or tackle need to turn their blocking assignment inside. 2. The center or guard need to get up field to disturb the back-side LB, either block him or at least slow him down.
Too often they couldn’t turn the Mizzou defenders inside, allowing them to string Harris out. And they were too slow to disturb Nick Bolton, who often blew plays up from the back end. Bolton also tackled really well, as did the rest of their team. Harris has been able to take poorly blocked plays for nice gains this season, but not against Mizzou. A lot of that can be attributed to Bolton, who is an NFL quality LB and was probably the best player on the field for either team.
