Title: Fabled performances by Trent Richardson, defense help No. 2 Tide rip Rebels Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 16, 2011, 09:48:35 AM http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/10/fabled_performances_by_trent_r.html
Quote And the moral of this mismatch is a strong message to the rest of college football. "We have yet to put together a full 60 minutes of football," said senior wide receiver Brandon Gibson, who caught the first touchdown pass of his five-year career. "It's a scary feeling. Once we get that down ... we'll have a lot of fun this season." Imagine an offense playing better than this. It averaged 9.3 yards per play while compiling 615 total yards (389 rushing). Picture a defense picking it up after recording 14 tackles for a loss. The nation's top-ranked rushing defense held Ole Miss to 28 yards rushing on 31 carries, thanks to five sacks for 34 yards in losses. "I thought going in this week they were in the top two or three that we've ever faced. but after seeing them live, I think they're much better than seeing them on film," Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt said of the Tide's defense. |
