In Thursday's Alligator, Phil Kegler insisted that offensive coordinator Dan Mullen was not responsible for the Mississippi loss. While Mullen had nothing to do with the multiple drops, fumbles and the missed extra point attempt that lost us the game, Mullen did call to run tailback Jeff Demps up the middle and for two consecutive attempts into the end zone on the final drive instead of sticking with the quick option slants that got us into range.
