Notes
HC Huff left for Memphis after only one season
Hired OC Blake Anderson at HC. Decent hire?
Run Def suspect vs ULL, allowed 220+. Forced 3 TOs
Beat GASO by 3 but needed 3 TOs, 12 flags. Unclear
Punter Murley is awful. Will not change the field
Nearly blew GASO game, outscored 28-10 but held
OG'd La Tech 514-340 & found a way to lose?
Outclassed by MSU, Braxton OK, we'll see
So Miss could really contend for SBC w/ adds
Off added 10 OL, 8 WR, 3 TE, 5 RB & 3 QBs
