PrintAs per the usual, Whiskey Wednesday will do a full rundown of the game as he saw it but, for now, I thought I'd share some stats.
Oh, and as an aside note: you wanna know another reason why the SEC > you? At the bar which saw yours truly grace her presence for our game there were a ton of Washington fans. They had just seen the storyline of the week unfold in an incredible upset of the USC Trojans at the hands of their Huskies. It has to have been one of the finest moments in Washington football history, and what were they doing? Leisurely chatting, texting their buddies, slowly polishing off their drinks, and generally acting like you would expect them to act most of the time. Had that been Ole Miss beating the Trojans, we would have burned the damn building down. I was almost upset for them and their seeming inability to really care that their program is being completely turned around by Steve Sarkidon'tknowhowtospellhisnamesian.
The Numbers:
- Snead was a pedestrian 16 of 28 for 209 yards. He did have three touchdowns, one of which included a diving catch from freshman Pat Patterson.
- Patterson actually led the team in receiving yards with 79. Hodge led the team in receptions with five.
- Brandon Bolden eclipsed 100 yards rushing but did not reach the endzone.
- Four Rebels averaged greater than eight yards per rush: Snead, Derrick Davis, Brandon Bolden, and Jesse Grandy.
- As a team, the Rebels averaged 7.4 yards a carry. The Lions, 2.9.
- Southeastern Louisiana had 302 yards of offense. Nearly 200 of these yards came in the 2nd half. Their longest drive was their 69 yard drive to begin the 2nd quarter which ended in a field goal.
- This game marked the eighth in a row won by the Rebels. This is the longest such streak since 1972.
- DT Shackleford is a hoss.

You're welcome. Now let's just hope WW fights off his hangover in a timely enough fashion to keep us entertained.

Sounds like I was more excited about the Huskies than their own fans.
Selfish reasons, of course, especially after last night’s less than dazzling performance.
watching Washington beat USC at the tooth
was amazing, didn’t see any huskies in Bama, but everyone in the bar was acting like we just won the Iron Bowl
we just take it a little serious in the south ha

A few observations I made
1.) Jevan Snead didn’t do as bad as some suggest. He’s completion percentage wasn’t as high as one would like, but he had several dropped balls and at least one catch that didn’t count because of a penalty. Granted he had one interception that was erased because of “pass interference.” Still, I felt like given the type of offense we were running against SELA, Jevan performed fine, which brings me to point 2.
2.) We did not run an exciting offense for the second game in a row. I’m very happy about that. I am content with running standard I and the occasional shotgun play and saving anything out of the ordinary (Wild Rebel, Super Rebel, no huddle, single back, lots of shotgun) for when we need it. I don’t need a numbers offense to be happy. Only wins. I do thing, however, when we begin running a more aggressive offense we’ll all be a little more excited about the numbers we see from our stars.
3.) We have some good freshmen. Pat Patterson finally found his role in the receiving corps, Jesse Grandy can haul ass (sure it was SELA, he’s still fast), D.T. Shackleford is solid on defense, and Nathan Stanley looked sharp throwing the football. It makes me a little happier about our future.
4.) Brandon Bolden is a beast.
5.) Marshay Green might decide to elevate his game this week in practice or lose his job as punt return man. I think Grandy could get some pt as the pr against USC.
That’s all for now.

"Pass Interference?"
That was the easiest call of the game. Snead tried to thread it a little bit, but he still would have hit McCluster in the numbers, had the back not jumped into McCluster’s body while the pass was in midair. Easy, easy call. Maybe ask to sit on someone’s shoulders next time.

"Pass Interference"
Im with Whiskey on the P.I. call. I was flabbergasted when I read the ESPN report that suggested that play was a questionable call. It was as obvious as could be. As far as Jevan went, he did have several dropped balls, but there were several other passes where he missed bad. He looked like last year when every pass was coming out 10 feet to high. On a side note, D.T. and Pat Patterson may (should?) have made themselves starters last night. Patterson was like a magnet. I was very impressed by him.
Pat Patterson...
…the REAL mayor of Oxford.

Since I couldn't be at the game
Because I’m on another continent, I watched it on ESPN 360, which allowed me to watch replays over and over. I seriously don’t think that was pass interference. I am usually going to side with the Rebels no matter what, but it appeared to me that both were going for the ball, and Dex got tripped up in the process.
