Honestly, I can't think of a unit that is worse this year, besides maybe runningback, but it's definitely deeper. Everything is deeper. receivers are definitely better lbs are definitely better secondary definitely better quarterback definitely better

Well, I'm with you that the WR's are going to be better because they have another year under their belt. Auburn can say that about every single unit. So that's a wash. Where is State taking a step back? RB. Deeper, but there is no Vick Ballard on that roster. Auburn same scenario. But I don't know, losing one 5* guy and gaining 2 four* top 15* RB's I think AU moved forward more than State. State is replacing 4 O Linemen with 2* and 3* guys. Auburn is replacing 2 OL starters with a top 5 OT and a top 10 OT, both of which looked great in their debut against an actual opponent. Auburn replaces a crappy QB with a 5* guy that has a lot of growing up to do. MSU replaces a guy that kept beating out the new guy for the starting job...highly touted guy but has been pretty damn average in games against real competition.

I don't know man. I just don't see it. To me, if the game was played on paper, I think State loses by a couple of TD's. Luckily for you, it isn't...and State may win.
