One Reason Why UT Martin Will Win

Can the SkyHawks keep the ground game going? They had no problem against a badly overmatched Clarion team to start the season with Ladarius Galloway ripping off 157 yards and a score.

Granted, it was Clarion, but to hold anyone to 2-of-22 passing with two picks isn’t bad. Can the UTM defense somehow slow down an Ole Miss ground game that couldn’t generate much of a push against South Alabama? Maybe for a few early drives, but …

One Reason Why Ole Miss Will Win

It’ll be target practice for Shea Patterson.

As easy as UT Martin’s win was, it was sloppy, committing 12 penalties and turning the ball over three times. If there are any mistakes this week, it’ll get ugly in a hurry.

No, Ole Miss couldn’t run against South Alabama, but Patterson went off, completing 28-of-35 passes for 429 yards and four scores. Expect more of the same – he’ll be able to do whatever he wants helped by an O line that gave him time against USA.

What’s Going To Happen

If every game’s a bowl game for Ole Miss at this point, this is a minor mid-December one.

Patterson will be awesome, the defense will look the part again for a game, and everything will look perfect as the Rebels tune everything up for a three-game road trip to Cal, Alabama and Auburn.

Enjoy this, Rebel fans.
