Memphis beat Ole Miss

How did they do it?  I wasn't able to watch the game.  For those that watched, how did they do it?

scored more points :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback:

[hogman99]

Good defense and great QB play

[ricepig]

Scored more points........mostly took advantage of some lackluster effort by the OM defense and dinked and dunked their way down the field.

Here's a write up about it from ESPN:

Don't know if this helps you much, but it's better than nothing.

THIS.

kind of like toledo beating us . Right place at the right time deal . the breaks all went their way

[Hogarusa]

They did all sorts of things.  Ole miss countered with none of those things.  It was neat

[elksnort]

I'm thinking Memphis is better than Toledo. Not that this matters anyway.

Yeah, no doubt.

Memphis, came out of the gate really slow and got behind by 14-0. But, then they started moving the football on Ole Miss, Paxton Lynch the qb was lighting it up on OM defense. He is one of best qb in the country. He reminds me of Mallet arm but with wheels, he can run or throw. Memphis, running game started to click with it it's passing game and then it's defense shut OM down. They knock  out Robert Nkemdiche and gave him a concussion, he never return to the game. Memphis, one of the best coaches in the country and he has built his programs with a lot of walk-ons they had 80 walk-ons in the last three years. He is the guy we need at Arkansas, the guy can really coach. He has proven that he can build a program in a city like Memphis. Memphis, has had nothing over the last decade.

Third down conversions were a big part of that game.


The Tigers continued Ole Miss' misery on third down, converting 60 percent of the time (12 of 20) on the do-or-die down.

[HawgFan70]

Memphis is a good team with a great QB and coach. Ole Miss went in there not inspired figuring if they showed up they win. Ole Miss jumps out early 14-0 the players probably lost their edge. Memphis kept fighting and won the game

[bigred223]

Nothing like Toledo game. Memphis whooped that a$$. Scored 37 straight I think.

Forgive me of my suspicion, but I doubt that was really the point of this thread. Nonetheless, your request for more information about that game is fulfilled. Enjoy.

Great QB play, they ran the ball much better than Ole Miss (kid from West Memphis was a beast). and the WORST pass defense in America (Memphis), made enough plays and limited Ole Miss' big plays....similar to how we would have to do it. They were also the more physical team.

[NaturalStateReb]

Plus we're Memphis' super bowl. They played great, we played bad, got beat.

[daBoar]

Key stat in the game, besides Memphis won the game (played in Memphis)..............third down conversions.

Ole Miss 4 of 13.  Memphis 12 of 20. 

You would have thought Ole Miss had played Bama.

[hawginbigd1]

Good defense and great QB play

Simple version yes. OM made some bad decisions, probably could have kicked a couple FG that would have taken Memphis down a notch or two, instead got stoned on 4th down, and just fed Memphis confidence! Memphis took some chances on defense and it paid off!

[LZH]

I watched the whole game.  Memphis has a QB that's for real (and pretty mobile to be so big/tall), and he read the Reb defense very well all day.  They consistently ran hi-lo routes and Ole Miss looked like they'd never seen it before.  That, and Memphis' OL protected their big QB pretty well.  As for their defense, they didn't flip out whenever Ole Miss made a big play.  They kept cool and kept playing hard.

I don't think OM was prepared to play, and/or they overlooked Memphis....by the time Memphis had their full attention, they went into panic mode as much as they did anything else.

They are beatable.  In Oxford, by us?....it's a long shot.  But they are beatable.

I guess we'll have to beat them some other way then.

What did you think my point was?

[Bubba's Bruisers]

What did you think my point was?

Just ignore it.

[GoHogs1091]

3 reasons.

1.  Memphis' QB play. 
2.  Memphis didn't panic when they were down early.  A reflection of the personality of their Head Coach (Justin Fuente).  Ole Miss seem to be panicking towards the end of the 3rd Quarter and throughout the 4th Quarter.
3.  Memphis had the motivation to prove to the nation that they could win against a ranked SEC opponent.

Good defense and great QB play

They certainly didn't have "great" defense. Memphis played bend-but-don't-break and managed to clamp down in the red zone, but a lot of that was some questionable play calling by Ole Miss along with Kelly making some bad decisions.

What they did consistently do was stop Ole Miss when they tried to convert third-and-shorts by running the ball, including knocking Nkemdiche out of the game when Ole Miss got gadget-y and put him in to run it. Ole Miss hasn't been great with third-and-short all season, so I'm not sure why they tried as often as they did to get the run game going when Memphis has a paper thin secondary.

And, as other said, Lynch was fantastic. Guy is going to be a high NFL draft pick. Along with what he did throwing, he picked up some first downs scrambling and their running back had a really good game running to the edge and making a few guys miss.

Sometimes its funny being the smartazz, this was one of those times. 😂+1

Paxton Lynch the qb was lighting it up on OM defense. He is one of best qb in the country.

Paxton Lynch isn't one of the best QB's in the nation.  He is THE best.

He definitely goes in the NFL draft as the first QB taken.  If there is a better one out there in the college game, I sure haven't seen him.

Sounds like I'd rather us be playing Ole Miss than Memphis.

Our D is good enough to give them the same kinds of problems.

Our offense has shown it can run the ball as well as Memphis can throw it.

Getting more optimistic....

Kelly had a really flat game against Ole Miss, and the team seemed to lose a step after Ndkemdiche got hurt (it still baffles me that they felt the need to risk him getting injured to try and convert a 3rd and 1 when they were already committed to taking two cracks at it. I get it at the goal line, but there? Just run two QB sneaks and hope Kelly falls the right way once). I was hoping they'd pull a patented Ole Miss swoon after that and be similarly flat when we got to them but they seem to be holding it together. I think they'll play better tomorrow than against Memphis.

Ole Miss also made Memphis' D look way better than it was in that game. We could shred Memphis on offense, probably better than we'll be able to do against Ole Miss tomorrow. That said, Lynch is the real deal and I don't think we'd stop Memphis either. I would trust Lynch to make less mistakes than Kelly. I think taking everything into account, though, I'd feel better against Memphis than Ole Miss. Both are bad matchups on paper for the Hogs.

[razorbackchamps94]

Memphis Qb is good .. That's how they won

I still think Goff is the first QB taken, but Lynch is good.

Here, just watch the shortened version of the game on youtube (contains every snap)...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-MRxzX_jIg


...and stop larding up the board with your passive aggressive anti-Arkansas rhetoric - don't play dumb, you're not a fan when you're actively hoping for the team to lose. That's what your post history says. It's undeniable. Go back to the fan board of the team/coach you worship and stay there.

You gathered that from my post history? Get a life.

And thanks for the video.

[TNRazorbacker]

Clutch QB

[zane]

Lynch is the real deal. He'd be a starter for 90% of P5 teams.

Their defense is solid

Their coach is going to have a large pay day during the off season. Headed to UGA maybe?
