Everyone in Austin is talking about Colin Simmons, the FBS sack leader, reportedly missing Saturday. That's the wrong storyline. Ole Miss has scored on all 24 of its red zone trips this season, 21 of them touchdowns, and leads the SEC in fewest sacks allowed at 0.83 a game. Ole Miss built its edge before anybody in Austin got hurt. Five days to Texas. Twelve to Auburn. Steven Willis brings in Ole Miss legend John Fourcade, the quarterback Trinidad Chambliss just passed on the school's career passing list, to ask whether John David Baker's offense is better than its numbers say. Then they size up a Texas team with Colin Simmons reportedly sidelined and Arch Manning under pressure, and go through the SEC Week 8 slate. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Ole Miss 31, Missouri 3, and a Texas team without Colin Simmons? 2:13 A C-plus day for Chambliss and a 28-point win anyway 4:56 Who stood out: Will Echoles, "That kid's a beast" 7:43 Is the Baker offense better than its numbers? 13:55 Fourcade on facing a Texas team without Colin Simmons 15:52 Landon Barnes, Colin Simmons' heir at Duncanville 16:17 Arch Manning and Sarkisian's Monday press conference 21:46 SEC Week 8 lines: LSU at Auburn 22:31 Tennessee at South Carolina 23:37 Oklahoma at Mississippi State and a 45.5 total 24:59 Ole Miss at Texas: Fourcade's pick 26:16 Kentucky at 6-1 and the best three teams in the SEC 📌 THREE THINGS 1. Chambliss passed a legend, and the legend laughed. Trinidad Chambliss is now eighth in Ole Miss career passing yards, moving past John Fourcade against Missouri. Fourcade's take: "If I'd have played in that offense for 4 years, I'd have done everything possible." Then the part that matters: "I don't think he's all about the stats and he's about winning." 2. Fourcade thinks the Baker offense is better than its numbers. Ole Miss is 24 for 24 in the red zone, one of two perfect teams in the country, and 21 of those trips ended in touchdowns. His reason: "when they get in the red zone, they're calling their red zone plays." Against Missouri, he said, the Rebels "went for the jugular early." 3. Texas is 4-2 after back-to-back 27-24 losses, and Orangebloods reports Colin Simmons, who leads the FBS with 9.5 sacks, will miss three to four weeks with a high ankle sprain. FanDuel had Texas -3.5 with a 55.5 total as of Sunday morning, Oct. 18. Fourcade's pick, and his alone: "I got the Rebels winning this game." 🦈 EVERYDAYER CLUB — ad-free plus the members-only room, 7-day free trial: https://lockedonolemiss.supercast.com 💬 LOOM PRIVATE DISCORD — free to join: https://discord.gg/KF3dtcQJhC 🌐 EVERYTHING ELSE: https://olemisshub.com 🎧 EVERY PLATFORM: https://link.chtbl.com/LOOleMiss?sid=YouTube 🎯 FANDUEL — Make this your most rewarding season ever with the all-new FanDuel Rewards Club.
