Yes Ole Miss get's a lot of yards through the air with their offense.
But look a little closer at their numbers, most importantly Chad Kelley's. Kelly has almost 2900 yards through the air this year. But how many TD's had he thrown? 20 and add 12 interceptions onto that. Brandon had what, 2500 yards last year? With 24 TD's and 5 int?
Now lets look game by game... With the exception of UTM, FRES, and NMSU.
@ALA Sept. 19th: 18-33, 341 YDS. 3TD (43-37)
Vandy Sept. 26th: 24-43, 321 YDS. 1TD 2INT (27-16)
@FL OCT. 3rd: 26/40, 259 YDS. 1TD 1INT (10-38)
@Mem OCT. 17th 33/47 372 YDS. 2 TD 2 INT (24-37)
Tx A&M OCT. 24th 26/41 241 YDS 2TD 3 INT (23-3)
@AUB OCT. 31st 33/51 381 YDS 2TD 2INT (27-19)
He's thrown 20 TD's this year and only 11 have come in these games. But he throws the ball 40 times a game and only has 3TD's once in these games. And that was his best game against Alabama. (Bama had 5 TO's to Miss 0 and still only lost by 7, I know it's Bama)
I'm not saying we're going to win this game. But everyone acts like this guy is so freaking good. Does he get a lot of yards through the air, obviously. But he doesn't throw very many TD's and throws a lot of Int's.
So we'll see how this weekend goes.
