THE GOOD
(Pictures from The Clarion Ledger)The offense scored on two touchdown passes from Seth Adams. One curtosy of the Techsters fumbling the ball on the 28 yard line deep in their own territory. On third down Seth hit a streaking Dexter McCluster for his first touchdown of the year. The team needs play makers on offense so it was good to see Dexter getting back into the offense and being productive.
The second touchdown was another pass from Seth but to Shay Hodge. Hodge looked like he did not have possession of the ball while crossing the goal line but the officials reviewed the call and determined that he indeed scored. Shay is becoming the Rebels most reliable receiver and one with the most consistent hands. What was one of the biggest weaknesses to start the season is becoming a weapon as Marshay Green, Burnell Mike Wallace, Shay Hodge, and Dexter McCluster together form a formidable foursome. Micheal Hicks has also had some big plays as the Rebels "Big" receiver but unfortunately has been a little banged up the last couple of games.

The defense also had a newcomer step up. Kentrell Locket is starting to get solid playing time and looked good rushing the passer. He seemed to have really good speed coming off the edge and could be a great situation pass rusher for the Rebels in time.The Rebels were outgained in total yardage by the Techsters 301 to 232 and were given help from Tech's 117 penalty yards and turnovers. But the defense did a good job nonetheless of stopping Tech once they got to the Redzone. Tech had multiple attempts to score in the game an either missed field goals turned the ball over, failed to convert on fourth down or in the last instance had the Rebels block their field goal attempt and return it for a score.
Whenever a player gets 15 total tackles in a game he's got to get the gameball so this week it goes to Ashlee Palmer.
THE BAD
Seth had his first bad day as the Rebels starting quarterback. While he through 2 touchdowns he also had three picks. A lot of the day the only offense it looked like the Rebels had was just throwing it deep and hoping Burnell got a pass interference call since the Tech defenders could not keep up with him. Seth also only managed 162 yards passing on the day against a defense that has been burned through the air all season.
The offense as a whole underperformed as well. The Predator never got going and at half Ole Miss had 6 yards rushing. He finished the day with 54 yards rushing and the Rebels only mustered 65 total rushing yards and 232 total yards. THE UGLY
The Rebel special teams have looked poor all season and this weekend was no different. Justin Sparks had an 8 yard punt and Rob Park had a 16 yard punt. The kickoff team is even worse when the Rebels can't seem to find a kicker who can kick the ball to the endzone. The team kicks the ball out of bounds as often as they return it. Which is actually not that detrimental since teams averagely get to 30 and ofter get to mid field. The number one recruit for next year might be a kickoff specialist.
