Re: SEC West on the ropes!
I fully expected the MISSissippi teams to have trouble in the bowl games...
Ole MISS was an offensive aberration all season, but had a good defense. Their QB was a loose cannon, and he went back to being his old self in the bowl game. TCU was far more motivated for this game, and are full of trick plays that Ole MISS was not ready for. TCU is REALLY good offensively and defensively.
I really thought that MISS State would be a better game, but I also know that GT is good. MISS State abandoned the run game early, tried too many cute plays, and missed far too many tackles and assignments on a well disciplined GT offense that actually has good talent for their offensive system this season (and will again for next). I didn't really think that MISS State would have gotten beaten so bad, or necessarily even beaten, but I thought that it would be a good game with high rushing totals.
