Ole Miss Rebels

Rebels 17 – Vanderbilt 38

Ole Miss lost to Vanderbilt. Let that sink in a moment. One team was supposed to contend for the College Football Playoff. The other is an SEC football doormat. One team just beat Texas A&M last week. The other just lost to MIZZOU!

No disrespect to Missouri, but the jumbled mess of teams behind Alabama is perfectly represented by the mess we saw in Nashville Saturday night.

Impact Moving Forward:

-Huge loss of momentum

After last week’s thrilling victory against Texas A&M, fans had hope. There was potential for a 4-4 SEC football record and a winning regular season. Instead, though, fans have to hope the Rebels can overcome Mississippi State to reach a bowl.

It is tough to tell where it went wrong, but this is just the latest proof that coaching changes are needed. There was a repeated graphic last night about Vandy averaging less than 20 a game before last night. Yet the Commodores put up 38 against this SEC West defense.

Time for some coaching changes indeed.
