Wade's World XI

Ole Miss offensive lineman Todd Wade gives you an in depth perspective of the view from the trenches all season long in Wade's World.

On last week's game:
"It was very disappointing. I think we were just as good as they were, but unfortunately we didn't play like that in certain areas. From an offensive line standpoint, I thought we had one of our better games. It's too bad we had only 47 offensive plays to execute on. We now have to get ready for Mississippi State. They have the No. 1-ranked defense in the country and it'll be a challenge."

On preparing for a short week:
"We started practice on Sunday and went through their base defenses. You don't have too much time so you have to devote some time personally to get ready for the game."

Is it easier overcoming a tough loss with a short week?:
"It's a lot easier getting over a tough loss with a short week. You have no choice but to get back in to it, and you have something else to worry about. Whereas in a regular week, you may have a little longer time to think about a loss. We're not thinking about the Georgia game anymore, it's in the past and we've put it behind us. We're now looking forward to Mississippi State and we look for it to be an exciting game."

On the Mississippi State game:
"It (the Egg Bowl) has always been a lot of fun. I've loved watching it growing up. We'll bring a lot a fans down to Starkville and have a lot of support. I'm looking forward to the game and I think we'll play our best game yet."
