Blanchard threw the 30 yd TD pass on 4th & 15 to pull within 1, then threw the 2pt conversion pass to win the game...
I Watched Ole Miss-Jacksonville And Here's My Take On What I Saw

- Start date
I DVRed this off Game Plan and am headed home to watch it. I'll let you know tomorrow what I thought. (I'm sure I agree with you 99.9%).
Just remember folks - THIS is what Houston Nutt is known for.
He's also known for knocking off Big Dogs he has no business beating.
We BETTER bring our A game this year or mark my words we'll be standing there wondering "How the..?"

Here's one most of you probably don't remember.
Jack Crowe was the guy who called the play in the 1984 Iron Bowl that won the game for Alabama. Auburn had fourth and goal at the Bama one and only needed a FG. So Pat Dye, of course, channels the future phantom known as Wingnut and says, "I think we'll run the ball."
So Crowe calls the play. Rather than call the play that beat Alabama in 1982 - "Bo Over The Top" - for some reason Crowe called a pitch to Brent Fullwood. He and Jackson collided and our defense (which was good that year despite a 5-6 record) kept him out of the end zone.
Crowe got canned at Auburn over that one, too.

Yes size is what hurt him last year. Cherokee County runs the spread and he put up huge numbers each year. His height was the killer in his recruitment.
I empathize with Ole Miss fans. Blanchard led a game winning drive against my Jackson Aggies for the 4A state title last year.

I was so shocked to here about this upset. You have to wonder if Ole Miss is going pack it up this season, or if they will be able to bounce back and salvage this season. I realize this may be a bit premature, but Ole Miss could be in real trouble, especially if the team splits over qbs.
I find it hard not to like Houston Nutt. But I wouldn't want him coaching the Tide.
When Franchione bolted to Texas A&M (and oblivion), I was told by a big Texas A&M fan not to worry, that we were going to get Houston Nutt. All that was nutty, of course.
As I understand it, Houston Nutt was hand-picked by Frank Broyles, who also coached Jimmy Johnson. Nutt and Johnson are both good 'ol boys who played at Arkansas. Johnson did what Nutt probably could not do, coach at the University of Miami, and Nutt is part of the FCA, which I doubt Johnson has ever been a part of.
You hire Houston Nutt, you've got immediate fireworks. The only trouble is, once and a while a Roman Candle lit by Nutt sputters, fizzles, and falls over before reaching its intended journey. As an SEC fan, how can you not like that? -- as long as he's coaching against you and not for you.
The game I remember somewhat similar to this OM-Jax State game was when Mike DuBose's Bama team played LSU either at B-D or LF, and Kevin Faulk was the running back for LSU. The Bama quarterback brought the Bama offense down the field to about the three yard line and suddenly DuBose switched QB's. We didn't score, and we lost a game we should have won -- just like Nutt did yesterday.
The key to Houston Nutt is his imagination. He gets an idea, and brother, it is going to materialize on the football field. Never mind all that stuff about playing it close to the vest. That's not Houston Nutt. If it works out, fine -- Houston Nutt has contributed to the colorful part of the SEC -- as surely as the red and blue of Ole Miss. If it does not work out, suddenly he looks like a neurotic swami who tells fortunes on the side in a tent.
How can you not like the SEC West this year? There's Nutt, and then there's the other gambler, Miles. But Miles doesn't have the imagination Nutt has. Miles did come up with that over-the-shoulder pitch by the kick-holder a few years ago, but other than that his gambles have been pretty much run-of-the-mill. It's Les' EXPLANATIONS of what happened that are colorful.

I have already posted that IMO Masoli is bad karma for the Rebs. He will play a lot and put up some good numbers, but the wins are going to be hard to come by. Nutt should have stuck with Stanley.
Two stunners for me. I watched a bit of the OM-Jax game on ESPN3 before switching to the start of the Bama game. I figured OM would win in a walk. First stunner was to see that Jax caught up with OM and then ultimately won the game.
Second stunner was reading the above posts stating Masoli was voted a team captain. How the heck can that happen??! Surely the OM players could have found someone to bestow that honor on who's been in the program longer than a few weeks... :conf3:
Sorry OM lost the game. SEC takes a (minor) hit on this one.

The look on Nutt's face after the post game interview was priceless. Nutt was on cloud nine after learning Masoli could pursue his Parks and Recreation Grad Studies at Ole Miss. :biggrin: Then the loss to JSU caused meltdown in Oxford. 
Since I live in exile in Memphis I have seen first hand the general state of mourning among the Ole Sis faithful. The biggest problem Houston Nutt has is that he does not love recruiting. I know they keep saying that his recruting classes are in the top 20 every year, however the true story is that he generally signs several "projects". The only reason for the Masoli experiment is that Nutt did not prepare by recruiting several qb's in the last couple of years. This is what happens when you do not do your job as a recruiter.
I think that he should never have been allowed to play this year for Ole Miss, and I think that the dreams of the Ole Miss faithful of an Oregon style offense in Oxford with Coach Nutt in command is nothing more than a pipe dream.
:BigA:

Yes he did...Citadel in 1992. Crowe was fired the next day. I lived in Fayetteville at the time - dark day.
We're hoping this is the year we finally return to greatness with the loss to Citadel being the low point.
Yep. Puzzling, isn't it?
I guess Crowe didn't care who was "hot" he was gonna rotate QBs. Lucky that it didn't backfire on him (jmho).
He also beat my Deshler Tigers the week before that and the year before as well. Anyway, glad to see Gamecocks knock off Ole Miss.
Leave it to Houston Nutt to blow the lead like that.

When the Rebel players voted for a 2-time loser/convict to be team captain, they got what they got. To quote a Gameday sign I saw in the crowd Saturday morning, "Masoli for HeisTman".
