Gimmick Offense exposed again.

Poor Leach and Tech

They got schooled today with their spread offense.

Leach may have panicked a bit and out thought himself at times today. I think running up against a team with talented athletes on defense made him change his approach. The QB sneak on 4th & 4 was an odd call, but I assume Leach thought it would catch Ole Miss completely off guard. I thought the same thing about his having Harrell take that snap from under center when Ole Miss sacked him for the safety. It appeared he wanted Ole Miss to line up to stuff a QB sneak and was hoping to hit a deep ball. Botom line is that Ole Miss was the better team today. They showed when they beat Florida that they could play with anyone and they played as if they had been "dissed" coming into this came.

Lots of whining in Lubbock tonight about what coulda/shoulda been. Poor tech.

Poor game coaching. 4th down call was awful. Crabtree wasn't effective due to injury. Harrell looked way out of sorts all day. I think Miss D gave him some looks he had not seen.

Leach calls the Ole Miss players 'jokers' in his post-game news conference. :shock:

I like that...Leach suggesting someone else may not have class. I don't particularly care for Ole Miss, but they earned my respect beating Florida...and I'm glad they beat Tech.

No gimmick. Old Miss just did what few have done. They blitzed and cut off the quick slant. The quick slant has been TTU bread and butter for years. It killed us the last two times we played TTU. Old Miss simply took that play away and it screwed TTU. Nutt showed he is bette than advertised.

And Ole Miss tackled immediately after the catch. They had very few missed tackles, which also cost us, not only against Tech, but all year. You must make your tackles.

You dont read much do you? And sorry I think it is a complete travesty to suggest MB isnt one of the classiest and best coaches in college football, if you define coach as something far beyond person who calls plays during a game.

Notice i never said he was a great one of those coaches.
