re: Official Game Thread: #2 Auburn 23 @ #3 MSU 38 GRINDED

Yup. I think they peaked (for the season already), if they're ranked like #2 going into Bama's stadium, I see them cracking from the intense pressure of expectations, since bama is usually the ones in their shoes.

Personally, when it comes to AU, I think we do better climbing up the ladder during the season. I've never enjoyed this being anointed #1 or #2 -during the regular season. When we play to win, it's w/a chip on our shoulders and a mad as hell mentality (find a way to win at any cost) attitude.
This is what separates the teams w/ entitlement issues vs the hungry as hell beasts on the field.
Hope we get good and hungry as we move up that ladder.
