re: How bad will Bama beat Msu in their house?

It's a hard one to call. I agree with you about Dak having to step up, but that's a two sided coin. State gets after the QB more than anyone else in the league, both QB's are going to have their decision making tested. The difference is ours obviously makes a lot more reads and has more weight on his shoulders. I definitely agree that a large part of the game is in his hands, but I don't think anyone on the board would rather have it any other way.

I will say that, if Dak is successful, it will be largely due to Josh Robinson. Getting a ground threat rolling early, other than Dak, can really open things up and change the setting of the game.
