After a blowout loss, coaches and players are often fond of saying something like “we’ll throw this film in the trash and just get ready for next week”. The idea being the loss was of such a destructive nature that nothing can be learned from reviewing the avalanche of mistakes that helped contribute to the overflowing embarrassment of a 40-point loss.
It sort of makes sense to do that in the regular season, as preparation time is limited during the week and perhaps the best way to get over being destroyed is not a two-hour laser-pointing-and-yelling film session. However, we’re not in the regular season anymore, which means the idea of tossing this one in the garbage is GARBAGE.
We’ve got a giant-ass ocean of time before the next game, so we’ve got a few minutes or a thousand to focus on the many horrible things that occurred in Atlanta. You might be asking, why should we do this, which is an excellent question given that we all have stuff to do and there is so much internet to browse.
We’re doing it because we need to feel the pain, shame, and disgust right in our faces in order to make sure something like 42-3 doesn’t happen again. Throwing it in the trash is the COWARD’S WAY OUT.
BRING ON THE DISGUST OF EVERY OFFENSIVE PLAY IN THE PEACH BOWL.
1st Quarter
1st and 10 at the OM 26: Bo Wallace pass incomplete to Jeremy Liggins
A downfield throw to a 300-pound man? WHY NOT. Bowl games tend to have some fun plays.
2nd and 10 at the OM 26: Bo Wallace pass incomplete to Cody Core
Just setting up for our standard 3rd and 10.
3rd and 10 at the OM 26: Bo Wallace pass intercepted at the OM 25
Less than ideal, but hey, still very early.
TCU scores to go up 7-0

Hey, look! A run that didn’t end with a running back crashing into a guard’s butt.

Our total offensive yardage just dropped by more than half.
3rd and 16 at the OM 34: Bo Wallace pass incomplete to Markell Pack

Ole Miss punt
TCU scores to go up 14-0

ON THE BOARD WITH A COMPLETION.
2nd and 3 at the OM 24: Jaylen Walton run for 1 yard

Without looking at the video, my mind can perfectly picture guards missing blocks.

Here is our first strong indicator that things could soon be spiraling down the well of despair.

For a quarter that featured 11 total offensive yards for Ole Miss, a lot seemed to happen.

When your offensive line can’t protect, the best thing to do is call a pass play in your own end zone and ask your quarterback to dodge like five defenders to avoid the safety.
2nd and 10 at the OM 2: Bo Wallace interception for a TCU touchdown
I have always defended Dr. Bo (and will continue to do so), but he saved the worst decision of his Ole Miss career for this very moment. Why we were trying to throw, especially after what we saw on first down, I do not know, but history was made on this play.

SCORCHING THE GEORGIA DOME FIELD TURF.
1st and 10 at the OM 42: Bo Wallace run for 2 yards

I believe at this point I suggested that in the second half we should use an offensive line made up of Laremy Tunsil and four folding chairs.
3rd and 4 at the OM 48: Bo Wallace pass to Jaylen Walton for 5 yards
1st and 10 at the TCU 47: Bo Wallace sacked
