The most important thing that happened Saturday was not on the field. It was the order Pete Golding said things in afterward. From the postgame transcript: "Tackling the guy with the ball is a real thing on defense... it's kind of important." Then: "That starts at the top. We got to do a better job of coaching them." And then: "I told our players we got to look in the mirror as well, so we're all accountable to it." He named the problem, put it on the staff, and only then asked the players to carry their share. That is the opposite of how a first year usually goes sideways. Segment two: what September actually bought. Ole Miss is 3-1, 1-1 in the league, and the LSU win is still on the résumé. No game this Saturday. Thirteen days to Vanderbilt — and three ranked opponents inside 21 days after that. The counterweight: saying it at a podium is free, and a bye does not fix tackling. Tuesday is where you find out if it was real. Does September still count? Tell me in the comments.
