The win at Notre Dame was great but I consider this Kirby's first

Big test, the team has had a full year and a half in all the systems and the conditioning programs.

Will say you can see the results of the s&c program, we just look bigger, faster, stronger.

Notre Dame was a signature win because we went up there and fought diversity and won in an early season matchup.

But this would be an Sec signature win and early signs pointing to Kirby's future being a huge success.

Notre Dame will likely end up 9-3. It's an underrated win right now because they were 4-8 last year.

MSU beat a bad LSU team at home. They will end up with 7 or 8 wins. We should win this home night game handedly.

Ehhh I think Auburn last year was pretty big. They were 7-2 and ranked #9 in the country and our defense absolutely showed up, we completely shut them down.

I guess people know that auburn wasn't that good last year despite their ranking and record, but I mean MSU probably won't make a ton of national noise this year either.

"App State is a really good team this will be a big test"

"Notre Dame is going to be the big test"

"Miss State, this is the big test"

"Tennessee, playing on the road vs SEC caliber big boys, this will be the big test. MsSt was overrated."

"Florida has talent all over the field, they always play us hard and they have our number. This one has SECCG implications, this will be our big test"

And so on and so forth.

I think Kirby's biggest test will come in December against Saban in the Benz for the SECCG

that said...I have some very good LSU friends who follow their program closely...they are in a bad way right now...they lost a lot and many do not like Ed O....LSU played a horrific game and had many penalties that were game changers...i.e....the targeting ones...I know MSU has a good interior D line and a very talented QB...but I heard similar things about the qb from ND....lets see how good he is with Zo all up in his face for 4 quarters....also...our running back talent level is gonna be hard to stop...and will get even tougher to stop as the season goes on...we have 2 very respectable qb;s who are young..but talented...IMHO...we don't lose this game..I would be shocked honestly

If we win this game, we won't get any special credit for it. We'll hear that MSU was overrated, they had a hangover from beating LSU, we got lucky with our scheduling this year, MSU was under .500 last year, blah blah blah.

The main thing is just to get the win, go 1-0 in the SEC, show some improvement and get ready for the Vols. The only game that will show we've really arrived is beating Alabama in the SECCG.
