WHAT A START

**** The college football season kicked off this past weekend . Now ,don't wet your britches just yet . For the most part these games were Varsity vs Junior Varsity scrimmages . There were some exceptions .

**** Ole Miss was the talk of the nation losing to Jacksonville State . This was a total embarrassment to the haughty Oxford group . I don't know how that game got away from the Rebels . JSU made plays they couldn't make again in a hundred games but the Gamecocks made the plays Saturday .

This is a major blow to Ole Miss , no use to pretend otherwise . Some say Karma bit the Rebels for playing fast & loose with Masoli . Let the Nutt - Cracking begin !

**** Bulldog Nation ; Don't get too high over the blow out of sad Memphis . The Dawgs have a tough schedule & a Quarterback puzzle . Relf is a runner , Russell is a passer , neither is great at both .

State may need Rodney King to coach so they can all get along . The Dawgs have a great opportunity with Auburn Thursday night .

State's history says when they go out with shiny new shoes they step right in DOO - DOO . Step carefully Thursday night Bulldogs !

**** Now we know why Larry Porter closed practice . The Tigers have a new marketing program ;
" When you want to watch football real bad , We have some real bad football ".

The Tiger Quarterback position is a real snafu . There is so much emotion involving Cannon Smith that a logical decision is difficult .

Smith was an average high school QB , was not a blue chip recruit , & has not had much success on the college level . Cannon will be 23 next month , is small for a college player & tends to throw high under pressure . His Dad gives millions of dollars to the school . Those are facts .

The emotion rolls in with the fact his Dad is Fred Smith . Is being Fred's son a positive or a negative ? Does Cannon get opportunities he shouldn't or is young Smith held to a higher standard because of Dad ? These are emotional factors .

Based on facts Ryan Williams has more upside than Cannon Smith . Williams is bigger ,younger , &
more accurate .

This is Porter's first career impacting decision as the Memphis coach .

**** The SEC was 10 - 2 in non - conference openers .

Tennessee will not win 6 games this year .

Bama will not go unbeaten this season .
