I totally agree with averagedawg and sadlerdawg, the SEC is hands down better than the Pac 10, they don't play defense out there (with the exception of USC).
Also, as a coach, you don't just yank your QB out if he makes a mistake or two, especially when he's been playing well that day. Usually a good coach will be able to \"sense\" if he's just having a bad day and won't get anything going, so then you put in your backup to hope you can get a spark on offense. Yes, MS made a couple of mistakes during the game but he was also playing very well before the mistakes and definitely after the mistakes. I might remind you of last week when CMR put in JC and he promptly threw a pass to a double covered receiver in the flats that SHOULD have been returned for a TD, it hit the DB right in his hands. JC should never have even considered throwing that ball.
MS IS the man, hands down. (and I like Joe a lot)
dapolla, I may agree with you last year, there is no comparison THIS year.
