Help me out here...why is state going to be better?


I've heard these arguments go back and forth but not address a pretty damn important detail. Why is state going to be better??

What is pretty much a consensus in the board: Auburn is better, than the awful pile of flaming dogshit from last year...maybe won't have a better W/L record to show for it, but better.

Obviously, you can't tell anything from State's first game against Western Cornfield Tech State A&M...so what based on what we know says State will improve more than Auburn, who won last year?

They lost their QB who consistently beat out the new QB for the job. Lost a very, very good running back. Replace 3 offensive lineman (with guys that aren't nearly as highly touted as Auburn's new OLinemen). Lost how many defensive players to the NFL? Many of their returning players on D are excellent...but they had them last year. How much better can they be? Decent WR core with great senior leadership should have a very productive season. The only arrow that points North for me about MSU is Q. And will he be better as a true freshman than his predecessor that is now in the NFL.

I'm trying my best here to be objective and I just don't see it. Of course they could win. But when I put it all out on paper, I just don't see how you pick State to win...particularly doing so like it's obvious.
