Ole Miss vs. Texas: Pressure Mounts on Manning, Sarkisian

And maybe none bigger than whether or not Sarkeesian and Arch Manning are going to be a topic of conversation for the rest of this season. Here is Ole Miss getting three and a half points on the road against Texas, who, by the way, also just lost the best defensive player who was leading the country in sacks. He's done for the rest of the year. I mean, it's put up a shut-up time for both these teams, is it not? Yeah, Simmons was really good for Texas, and I still think he projects as a top-five pick, edge rusher in the NFL draft. You know, it's a weird dynamic with this whole Arch Manning thing. It really is, because it seems like what's funny is that the guys who know the most about this are seemingly saying that maybe it's not his fault and it's the coach's fault. It just seems like we're constantly making excuses for Arch Manning, and maybe it is true. I don't know enough about the game and what goes on to make that determination, But at least the analysts are saying that he's not putting him in the best position to succeed. Look, I mean, they hired Sarkeesian. They put him in that spot. Is it fair to say that if Texas loses this game that he won't be the coach next season? I do. I think that that's fair because at that point, Texas is staring down three losses already or whatever they have. And this would be back to back if they ended up losing to Mississippi and not knowing much, you know, certainly as much about handicapping these games as the others. the way that I look at it is it does appear to me that Mississippi is the better team of the two Mississippi got handed to it by Florida and that was it I mean they beat LSU they beat they won the rest of their games they're back inside the top 10 and I think that them losing to the Gators was a little bit of an overreaction they had one bad game where they absolutely could have beat the Gators in that game too the Gators played their best football game of the season they ended up beating Mississippi so uh you know to me I I thought going into the season Texas was really overrated I thought Ohio State dominated that game that they lost to Texas the first game of the season and and to me I think that the Longhorns are a fringe top 25 team if that I don't even see that so give me Mississippi this week to at least keep this game close and they have the better quarterback of the two in my opinion in fact Chambliss is probably the only quarterback of all these highly touted guys Joe going into the season that's actually doing it I mean think of Moore on Oregon and Manning on uh on Texas and some of the others now look Menzies you come on he's done a really nice job i get that and there have been some others but uh these highly this this best quarterback draft ever that was supposed to be coming up after the season i don't think is i think so either i mean i i think this could be it because i really do think and by the way it's flip side Ole Miss has to win this game if we're going to take them serious for a national championship and there is no you have the better quarterback the better offense there is no reason and the you have a defensive minded head coach you played a great defensive game last against Missouri there is no excuses here like you have to win this game against a wounded texas team that doesn't have an awful lot of confidence right now without their best defensive player Thank you.
