Excellent analysis. Fans here seem to forget the LSU game of two seasons ago (that I attended in Baton Rouge). Nutt can be dangerous and sometimes comes up with a smidgeon of cleverness to beat an opponent that is not ready. Fans here also seem to think that the Hogs will be sky high after the Gator game, something we will not know until well into the first quarter (Watch for the tackling intensity). Hopefully the fans here are right, but if not, your prediction could be correct. Mississippi is talented and will be at home. The best advantage that the 'backs might have is Nutt's usually predictable play calling. When he was with the Hogs it seemed that most SEC coaches, winning or losing, seemed to have his number. One play I saw in the recent SC-Rebs game, where it was 3 and 5 (something like that), Nutt went with McCluster instead of a short pass with Snead. SC stuffed it, and it looked like the defenders knew exactly what was coming. Based on the past, as one fan here noted, Nutt may not trust Snead and go with the ground game to keep it close until the 4th quarter. But a good passing team can beat you in the 4th quarter, especially with a two minute offense. However one never knows does one. Hopefully the Hogs are up for it, and the Petrino/Robinson game plans are as good as they were for Florida. Go Hogs.

This game and Hootie's emotions scare me, but I can't go against the hogs.

I'm with Hog 'n Iowa on this one. Same prediction of 34-17, Hogs.

After the highly intensified, nail-chewing 1st qr., the Hogs put it all together for the remainder of the game.

The Hogs only manage a 14-10 lead at halftime, but quite the crowd for good in the 3rd.

Ole Miss fans hang banners all over Vaught-Hemmingway stadium saying "Thanks for the coach!"

We fly a banner circling the stadium for several minutes saying "Your welcome!"

I just watched the Florida game again and I'm convinced we'll take out our frustrations on the Rebels. Mallett on target and the receivers with no drops equals 49 points.

Their defense vs our offense: even (probably even a slight advangage in our favor.

Their offense vs our defense: We easily win this battle.

I agree with Jim Dogg that Petrino nixes the field goals this game. And the Nutt playcalling keeps Ole Miss out of the end zone.

This sets up as the kind of game that Nutt was actually pretty good at winning when he was at Arkansas. Once the high expectations for a season were gone (or perhaps trampled by unimaginably bad performances), Nutt was pretty good at rebounding his teams and winning with the us-vs-the-world mentality he likes best. Ole Miss is not a top-five team but is solid with a decent front seven and QB. Look for Nutt to try to let the air out of the ball, hope to get to the fourth quarter with a chance to win, and take his shots from there.

So far, I've been backwards on the Georgia and Auburn games, so let's hope the trend continues. I'll say:

Houston's screen plays on 4th and 50 don't work against our very improved defense…

This one's simple. You have a program on the rise (Arkansas) against one of the biggest disappointments in college football this year (Ole Miss). You have a coach and staff who know the power behind a passing game (Arkansas) against a staff who's gameplan was aptly described by Steve Spurrier as "predictable" (Ole Miss). You have a team hungry to take its frustration out on coming up just short of knocking off number 1 (Arkansas) against a program that has looked flat and void of a definitive game plan over the last several weeks (Ole Miss). I think Ole Miss is ripe for getting its a– handed to them.

Hogs defense is for real! This week the turnovers are on the opponents side of the field.

Houston we have a problem running up the middle. DD Jones and Malcolm Sheppard seem to stop it every time. However, he continue to try.

I don't think Ole Miss will score. Their offense is horrible and our defense just held 3 top ranked offenses to less than 25 points.

Don't forget, Ole Miss has a good defense…but Petrino will figure it out, just like he did against FL.

Two ways to look at this:

1) Hogs are still blaming the refs for getting hosed last week (and who could blame them) and are not fully-focused on the upcoming game.

2) Hogs are mad as he**, and we're not going to take it anymore! (Didn't Coach Willy say something to that effect a few weeks back? It seems to have worked pretty good so far!)

I'll take option 2 here. I think there are just enough key players left over from the previous regime that will make playing Hootie and the boys the perfect metaphorical ibuprofin for last week's hangover. The Rebs do have a pretty good defense, though, so I doubt there will be half-a-hundred hung on 'em like some of you guys have been saying. Look for Snead to be spending a lot of the day on his back, or running for dear life!

HDN1 Virus has hit Ole Miss High. Common sightings of 3rd and 8. Draw plays and biting fingernails. Fever will cause visions from the Ghost of Malazahn.

Hogs have a system in place. Better every week. Xs and Os. Hungry on Defense.

I'm going with:

Hogs 44

Ole Miss 12

A significant amount of "getting well" is due and the Hogs make a statement about their intention to win out the season.

Not a touchdown for the Rebels either. Only Field Goals.
