Yes we are well aware of the fact that Saturday's gamewas against ULALA, yes we know the Dawgs should have won in a blow out, yes we know the speed will be different at high-noon this Saturday. All of that being said Dawgs nation had to feel really good about what they saw from the defense. Not since VG bolted have we seen the defense look so aggressive and focused. It was the defense's energy that was the catalyst for the team. It was the man to our right who was vigorously creating new sphincter cavities for the defensive players who were not doing their jobs. It was in this glorious creation of new butt holes that we took particular delight. Getting chewed on by the coach is something that we have not seen on the defensive side in quite a while.
The Dawgs will be facing this chick and her team on Saturday so naturally we need to assess their performance from this week. The Mighty Cock was in a similar boat to the Dawgs with a much weaker opponent of a lesser conference. So. Miss and ULALA both get the occasional SEC reject and their starters are not completely terrible. The Cocks looked good on Defense but that is becoming the norm in Columbia since Ellis Johnson is the only coach up there who still appears to care about what sort of legacy he leaves behind. Lattimore looked to be the best back the Cocks have had in a long long time. Garcia looked very comfortable and his feet were a lot less happy. That being said they still pulled off the mystical and much fabled back to back false starts on the O-line and even if they get King back in the line-up the Cocks still lack a competent O-line. We expect Toddy Grahams D to pin their ears back and throw Garcia out of his comfort zone. The Dawgs O-line was not nearly as dominant as we expected but they should step it up against the Cocks whose D-line and MLB looked soft against the run on Thursday. Ealy and Green should return and make what looked to be a very coherent Offense even better.It is funny how quickly things can turn around. All seem to be pleased with Grantham and if the defense gets fixed all should be back to being pleased with Richt. Another loss to the Cocks this Saturday could undo all these good feelings. Speaking of undoing good feelings, welcome to the Hot Seat Reverend Nutt. How is hiring Tyrone Nix as your D-Coordinator working out over there in Oxford? Nix was horrible at South Carolina and it ain't like Ole Miss has any more talent than they do in Columbia. Stop being soft over there, bring back Colonel Reb, fire Nix and quit embarrassing the SEC.
