Mississippi State Defensive Woes

Red Zone D- .579- Ranks 2nd Nationally
Interceptions- 11- Ranks 4th Nationally
Sacks- 21- Ranks 10th Nationally
4th Down Defense- .222- 10th Nationally
Tackles for Loss- 47- 11th Nationally
3rd Down Defense- .238- Ranks 12th Nationally
This is not a great defense, but this is a very good defense. It's proven to be a D that might bend but doesn't break, and with an offense as good as ours, that is all we need. Hope everyone is comfortable with State being at the top spot in the polls, because I don't see anyone knocking them out of it.
Except when FSU beats ND on our off week.

But but but UAB passed on them during their glorified scrimmage.

Since when is stating facts a "melt". Also melts don't happen when you are #1 team in the nation.

Red zone D has been nasty.
Where does our scoring D and total D rank?

I would prefer to be #2. Then we'd play in NOLA instead of Pasedena.

This is our plan. That's why we're slow playing the country.

Dat UAB game tho

State's secondary is not great regardless of what UAB did to them.
Everyone knows the strength of MSU's D is the front 7. Secondary is average. Luckily for MSU, a good front 7 can mask back 4 deficiencies.

Most of the yards given up are off of big pass plays. In the red zone, our front 7 is too good and teams can't take the top off our defense.

Auburn was 87th in total defense last season.
I am guessing that our defensive stats will improve a bit as the year goes on.

The Best Defense is a Good Offense.

I'll allow it

FSU will have to trounce ND to come back to #1 after this week.

Batted balls are easier to intercept.

Next time you're coaching Duke, tell him not to push off; when you extent your arm to do so, you greatly increase the chance OPI will be called.
