There was a considerable part of me worrying this game would be closer than fans would want it to be, and well it happened as Ole Miss had to come from behind to beat Tulsa, 35-27 on Saturday.
The Rebels seemed on cruise control early jumping out to a 7-0 lead, but the Golden Hurricane answered with a 14-0 run to take the lead in the first quarter. Ole Miss answered with a barrage of points to go up 35-17 by halftime, but then... well, no points were scored by the offense.
I’m not in any way sounding the alarm that this team has major problems, because it was approximately 142 degrees on the turf today according to an egg yolk I interviewed at the fifty yard line.
