If there’s one trait that’s a part of every Ole Miss football team since the school starting playing the very normal sport in 1893, it’s that each team finds ways to exponentially increase its degree of difficulty for winning a game.
Last Saturday against Mississippi State, those methods were on display. Three trips inside the State 10-yard line netted a total of three (3) points, a dropped interception deflected directly to a Bulldog wide receiver for a first down to extend the drive that cut Ole Miss’ lead to seven late in the fourth quarter, and the events that allowed State to get in position for last-second shot at the end zone were all anxiety-riddled experiences for which we did not care.
