All I know is that State is coming off a Win vs Kentucky, and an off week this past week in which HC Dan Mullen said was our team's best week of the practice of the season. State has shown constant improvement throughout the season and we always seem to play good vs Bama. The tough schedule that we have already played will also help us be ready for Bama. I think that the Dixon vs Ingram battle will be a good one.

Whatever the chances of Ingram and McElroy getting hurt are.

I think it depends on whether or not we show up to play.

We have the best rush D in the league and that's obviously not good for you.

None, if you're playing in Toothaloser or using SEC Officials.

Forget about it man, the refs will screw us like they did in the UF game.

I think we will play our best games of the year on the way to the SEC CG. I don't think MSU will be in the game after the third quarter.

I think we have a good chance. Their offense doesn't score many points so that won't be the problem, it will be scoring some points. We all know that Dixon is a great back but our offensive line MUST block well for us to move the ball. If we score around 17 or more points I think we can win.

Better than most people will give you credit for. State has been competitive in most of their games this season. Mullen is a good coach and he carved up our defense in the SECCG last season, albeit with much better players. We won't be able to match the kind of intensity we had against LSU and State is coming off a bye. If we come out flat this one could be interesting.

If we take them lightly or if we turn the ball over a bunch of times then we can be beat. If not then we should win by wearing them down like we have in most of our games.

I think MSU has a shot. If UA comes in thinking they are hot shite, and play flat, Mullen will have something cooked up for them. However, I think MSU's strength is in the running game. Dixon is a great back. But the bad thing for MSU is run D is the strength of UA defense. So, unless you can get your QB to channel his inner Tom Brady, I don't think it is a good chance.

Well.......based on what I saw with y'all vs. Florida, and add the fact that y'all are coming off a bye week........you have a damn good chance at home....

Good. Very good.

Bama will fall prey to the "post-LSU" game slump.

Plus, lets not take anything away from State. They are playing great ball and are underrated as an up-and-coming team.

I guarantee by this time next week this board will be filled with Bama guys congratulating State for the hard fought game (not ready to predict a win yet).
