Rebels go for upset over No. 1 LSU

On Saturday night, every Ole Miss senior will be playing their last game inside Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, and they will do so against the No. 1 LSU Tigers. It will also mark head coach Houston Nutt’s last home game in Oxford, before the Rebels close out the 2011 season next week at Mississippi State. For now, all Nutt is worried about is LSU.

Another low point in a season of low points

Just when things seem like they can’t get any worse, they do. That’s not to say it won’t get even worse because it can with unanimous No. 1 LSU and in-state rival Mississippi State coming up to finish out the Houston Nutt era in Oxford.

Rebels collapse; Nutt's hot seat reaches boiling point

Rumors, reports and all kinds of bad history abound in the wake of Ole Miss’ fourth-quarter collapse Saturday. 

 

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Rumors, reports and all kinds of bad history abound in the wake of Ole Miss’ fourth-quarter collapse Saturday. 

With the 30-13 loss at Kentucky, the Rebels’ Southeastern Conference losing streak stands at 12 games, the longest in school history. And, for the first time since 1950, Ole Miss has lost to Vanderbilt and Kentucky in the same season. 

Suffice to say, there’s uncertainty surrounding head coach Houston Nutt’s future, or lack thereof, in Oxford.

Third quarter woes continue as Rebels fall on the Plains

AUBURN, Ala. — Despite trying to change things up this week, the result in this weekend’s Ole Miss game remained the same as the No. 23 Auburn Tigers scored 24 unanswered points in the second half to win 41-23 over the Rebels Saturday night on the Plains of Auburn. It was Ole Miss’ 11th straight Southeastern Conference loss, dating back to last season.

Hipp's Tips: Auburn

1. Have to stop the run

Auburn loves to run the football, ranking 35th in the country and fourth in the Southeastern Conference with over 183 rushing yards per game. Sophomore running back Michael Dyer is second in the conference in carries, rushing the ball 159 times already this season (Almost 20 carries per game). Between Dyer, the speedy Onterio McCalleb, and electric freshman Tre Mason, the Tigers have plenty of options on the ground. Arkansas was successful running the ball on Ole Miss last week when they went into three and four wide sets that forced the Rebels to put extra defensive backs on the field and spreading the field. The Tigers certainly will attempt to do the same thing, and it could be a long day if Ole Miss hasn’t made an adjustment to fix this, particularly if freshman quarterback Kiehl Frazier is a big part of the Auburn offense.

Mackey settling in as starting quarterback

While Ole Miss fell yet again Saturday, this time in a 29-24 loss to Arkansas, the Rebels’ starting quarterback Randall Mackey played the best he ever has in a Rebel uniform.

 

While Ole Miss fell yet again Saturday, this time in a 29-24 loss to Arkansas, the Rebels’ starting quarterback Randall Mackey played the best he ever has in a Rebel uniform.

The redshirt junior threw for 218 yards on 18 of 30 passing with two touchdowns while going for 30 rushing yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. He also, for the most part, avoided mistakes, taking just three sacks and throwing just one interception.

Ole Miss upset bid falls short against No. 10 Arkansas

Ole Miss played, perhaps, its best game of the season and held a 17-0 lead halfway through the second quarter but could not overcome an Arkansas second half comeback as the Rebels fell to the Razorbacks 29-24 on Saturday afternoon. With the loss, Ole Miss has now lost 10 straight SEC games, dating back to last season’s 42-35 win over Kentucky.

“I’m really proud of our guys’ effort today,” head coach Houston Nutt said. “I thought we played extremely hard. I wish we had the third quarter back.”

Another week, another top-10 opponent for Ole Miss

 

Coming off a deflating 52-7 loss to Alabama just a week ago, the Ole Miss Rebels (2-4, 0-3) look to bounce back this weekend against the visiting No. 10 Arkansas Razorbacks (5-1, 1-1).

Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt said it is important for his guys to keep fighting to have a chance against the Hogs, who are also No. 9 in the year’s first BCS Standings.

Hipp's Tips: Arkansas

 

Repeat the quick start

This past week against Alabama, Ole Miss jumped out to an early 7-0 lead, thanks to a big pass play from Randall Mackey to Nick Brassell, followed by a short touchdown run from Jeff Scott. The Rebels must do the same this week against Arkansas, which has shown a propensity to come out sluggish and fall behind early in a few games. If Ole Miss wants to keep this game close, an early lead is a must.

Younger players must step up on defense

Ole Miss football midseason review: offense

 

Quarterbacks:

Through six games, Ole Miss has started three different quarterbacks, which is never a good thing. Junior Randall Mackey was in line to open the season as the starter, but was suspended for that game against BYU. He played parts of games against Southern Illinois, Vanderbilt and Georgia before earning the first start of his career against Fresno State, where he played well. He struggled this past week against Alabama, and he has plenty of areas to improve as the Rebels start the second half of the season.

Mackey to make second career start against No. 2 Alabama

With the 38-28 win over Fresno State nearly two weeks ago, the Rebels not only got a much-needed win, but they also found themselves a new quarterback in junior Randall Mackey.

Mackey, who completed 8 of 18 passes for 214 yards and a touchdown against the Bulldogs of Fresno State, managed to light a fire under a stagnant offense that struggled through the first few weeks of the season.

Nutt, Mackey praise the Alabama defense

As Ole Miss prepares to face its toughest test of the season with No. 2 Alabama rolling into town Saturday, much of the Rebels’ focus is on how to move the ball against a very good Crimson Tide defense.
Alabama comes into the game as the nation’s top scoring defense (7 points per game) and is also ranked No. 3 in the country in total defense (191.3 yards per game).
