If you told me that an Ole Miss team, regardless of players or coaching staff, needed to drive over 70 yards in two minutes to score a game-winning touchdown, I would ask if that attempt ended with a sack-fumble or a fourth down play where the quarterback and receiver miscommunicated and the pass landed on some unoccupied grass. Through many emotionally-crippling lessons, experience has taught us WHY DO YOU THINK IT WILL WORK OUT THIS TIME, YOU FOOLS.
Facing that scenario last Saturday, I activated my self-preservation mode and shunned* hope. So when Jordan Ta’amu and the Ole Miss offense put together a composed and efficient 14-play, 71-yard touchdown drive, my hollerin’ at the TV was somewhat muted, but my surprise knew no bounds.
