Exactly, it’s obvious BVG has a good and accurate deep throw. He’s made some beautiful passes like that this year. We just seem to call so few of them. We have some WR talent so go for it.Needs to roll the dice like that more often. Empty the chamber vs teams like that.

That play had a “Stevie got loose” feel to it. Actually glad he didn’t score and allowed us to eat more clock.
Still can’t believe Mark Stoops called that play! And we made the accurate throw and catch. So out of character
Stoops said post game that he and White were confident Ole Miss would bring the house on a blitz, leaving man coverage on Barrion. He noted that it had been rare until that point.
Oddly, there are reams of posts complaining about how often we targeted B. Brown last year on long passes. I’ll grant that Vandergriff seems more accurate, but had we taken shots and missed, we might not have dominated TOP, and given Dart more opportunities.
That's the old would could game. It took guts and luck for that to work and like Darell Royal said three things can happen on a pass and two of them are bad. It required a perfect throw, 100% concentration by BB and play makers to pull it off. All three conditions were met.Stoops said post game that he and White were confident Ole Miss would bring the house on a blitz, leaving man coverage on Barrion.

Kiffin seemed hurt that Stoops had gone out of character and beat him. It just wasn't fair.Stoops said they saw the defense was in man and that there would be a one-on-one opportunity. Kiffin said Stoops went against his tendencies and reputation there, suggesting that the criticism from the UGA game may have played a role. And suggesting Kiffin played to those tendencies.
The question is how much was the play decision to go deep, rather than to go to Key or Fartier for 8-10 yards (or six and hope they could pick up 2) was a Bush Hamden decision.
