TWTW: McCluster McScrews OSU In Cotton Bowl

((HT: Newsok.com))

It took Ole Miss Head Coach Houston Nutt about five games to figure out that running a "traditional" ground attack just wasn't going to cut it in the SEC in 2009.

He then gave Dexter McCluster the ball and defenses had trouble tracking him down...

The Cotton Bowl was another example...

182 yards on the ground and two touchdowns- including the game-winner with a little over four minutes to go...

But the larger issue for Mike Gundy and the Cowboys was the fourth quarter in general... six turnovers- seven overall...

Not six turnovers in a game... in the FOURTH QUARTER...

Zac Robinson threw four interceptions on the day, but the Ole Miss offense seemed to pick up after QB Jevan Snead got absolutely clocked on a blindside block and had to sit out the remainder because of concussion-like symptoms...

Draw your own conclusions...

One-Fourth Of Ole Miss Team Has The Flu

((HT: Jackson Clarion-Ledger/Brandt))

Twenty-seven players missed Wednesday's practice, including star receiver Dexter McCluster, who was hospitalized on Tuesday night, said coach Houston Nutt.

UM football trainer Tim Mullins said McCluster was having a hard time holding down fluids, and was sent to the hospital as a precaution. The receiver was feeling much better on Wednesday, according to Mullins.

Among the key players affected: Quarterbacks Jevan Snead, Billy Tapp and Raymond Cotton, fullbacks Andy Hartmann and Dan Hoffman, receivers McCluster and Shay Hodge, offensive linemen Brandon Green and John Jerry, tight end Ferbia Allen, defensive ends Kentrell Lockett and Marcus Tillman, linebackers Allen Walker and Joel Kight and defensive backs Marshay Green and Johnny Brown.

"If we had to play this Saturday," Nutt said. "It would be scary."

Those of us at OSG HQ think it's ironic that the Rebs are suffering from H1N1...
Think about it...
There you go...

All the above story did, however, is give us an excuse to post some old highlights from the 2001 season when Ole Miss beat Alabama...
