Well I didn't get to see all of the game due to a little thing called a job, but I guess I can be pleased with a victory and a 3-1 record at this point in the season. As much as the Rebel nation craves victory this is kinda new territory considering years past. Nonetheless, on the road in the SEC is never really as easy at it may seem on paper. Granted the Rebels controlled the clock and played inspired defense they still had there stumbles, like 3 pics. However, this was countered with 3 td passes by Jevan. I guess next week should be interesting with Bammer coming to town. Anyway, I don't have much else. Like I said, didn't get to see much of the game to form an opinion and I am way to hungover to try and get philosophical about this, so postgame notes.
