00:00catching 17 and a half in this matchup they have lost 14 straight games coach to the Ole Miss

00:06Rebels haven't knocked off Ole Miss since 1988 the last four have been decided by an average margin

00:13of defeat of 32.6 points per game do you give Jake Rexloff and the Tulane Green Wave any chance

00:21to potentially strike the upset this year I mean when you said any chance I think you give them

00:28any chance there's not a great chance I I just don't think the cards you look at everything going

00:33on at Tulane now again uh the coach has done a great job the quarterback's done a great job

00:39they've won their conference they played very well they did not uh give Ole Miss a lot of a game but

00:45played pretty well against Ole Miss but still still lost by a considerable margin and now you've got

00:51the coach with one foot out the door you've got several coaches I'm sure with one foot out the

00:56door and you've got players wondering what the future is all that being said the head coach will

01:01coach them uh they'll be trying to get ready to play uh I do I do kind of like them in the number

01:07I like I like them with the point total out there but I don't think they can hang with Ole Miss and I

01:13don't think they have a chance to win this game too many things going on behind the scenes there uh

01:19and you know these teams that are the James Madison and Tulane both they've made the playoff what an

01:24incredible run their chances of moving very far within the playoff are not strong and I can just

01:30see coaches and players say you know what we've reached our goal uh and that's where we got to I

01:36just wonder if that's a factor how much of a factor is Lane Kiffin not being on the sideline

01:41we talked about interim head coach Pete Golding and offensive coordinator Charlie Weiss Jr. taking over

01:48the reins uh for this matchup and potentially uh a national championship run but how much of a factor

01:55is Lane Kiffin not being in the locker room um maybe a detriment to the Ole Miss Rebels in this matchup

02:01I don't think it's it's nearly as much as James Madison and Tulane one this team they've had a tough

02:07SEC battle they've had a great season one of the greatest seasons in history at uh Ole Miss they've got

02:14the offensive play caller back the defensive coordinator back uh their game their game day

02:19operations ought to be almost virtually the same thing I could see Ole Miss playing as good as they

02:24can play and not being held back I know there could be some behind the scenes activity going on

02:30on the telephone uh in communications with some of their players but I do think they have a chance

02:35they don't come into the playoffs saying okay we made the playoffs that's it they do come in and say

02:40you know what let's keep this thing running they've got a good staff working with them and you got a

02:45defensive coordinator that's going to be their head coach pulling them together so I don't see it

02:49having as much of a factor Ole Miss it's the question is going to be do they have do they have

02:53enough talent to beat the team they're playing
