Enh. You got lit up like a cheap cigar by UAB. People are going to be up in arms about that. So far it looks like it was that "One" game that every college team has once a season. In the modern era of football almost every defense has that "One" game where they just can't explain what happened.

MSU's defense looked great last week and looked awesome against LSU until you took your foot off the gas late in the game and nearly lost. Forget stats.

I think if we force AU to pass more than they are comfortable with then it'll get them off of their rhythm. They pass efficiently only because they establish the run so well. Marshall is not a good passer when they have to rely on passing the ball.

They won't stop our offense. It's ridiculously balanced...there is only a 20 yard difference between our total rushing yards and total passing yards, which is amazing considering how many big plays we make. We can impose our will on offense and exploit the defense.


Nothing you typed has any factual basis. Or it's just plain wrong.

LSU gets Six (6) Downs within the Ten (actually 9) yard line: NO TD "He can NOT Go".

TA&M gets Four (4) Downs from the Twenty-six (26) yard line: NO First (1st) DOWN "He can NOT Go."

A lot of the passing yards given up have been garbage time or against State's 3rd teamers (especially UAB and LSU). I read today that State has been ahead by 20 or more points going into each 4th quarter so far this year.

What is Texas A&M?
The same one that Arkansas and Rice gave up less yards to? I guess you want to count UAB too since they got more yards on yall than they did on Troy, FIU, and Alabama A&M.

My favorite stat is that you rank 126th in the nation against the pass... Sandwiched right between Bowling Green and Toledo.

It might not matter much to you, but there is a ranking system that uses only stats from when the game is not a blowout lead.

With the game in question, State has the 1st ranked offense and 7th ranked defense. When we are up by a lot our D goes into prevent. Which doesn't work and frustrates me to no end, but does not reflect our talent on the defensive side. Hopefully teams continue to say "UAB put up 34" while we quietly keep making sure everyone else scores less than our offense. Since that's all that matters at the end of the day.

I totally respect Mississippi States team.

Nevertheless, Auburn is gonna beat that arse. you just need to accept that fact. this isn't our first rodeo. It is yours.

Game Day? Meh. Happens often in Auburn. Big games against top ranked teams? Done that. Every year. its called the Iron Bowl and the DSOR.

Take your weak arse landmass moo state asses back to the pasture, plantation, or whatever you call that place you practice.

See you bitches on Saturday. The defending SEC Champion is coming.

(and again, I say this with the utmost respect for your accomplishments thus far.)

Bestest Regards

If the game was in Auburn, I would go with the Tigers. But being in Starkville, I like the Dogs chances. If Auburn has to throw, they are likely in trouble. If the Tigers can't pressure Prescott with their front four, then they are in deeper trouble. One things for sure, it should be a good one. Gotta go State 38-24.

Not true.

1st half vs 2nd half passing yardage is only separated by 109 yards this season. Or 22 yards per game.

Not sure why this has become the company line when it really only applies to the LSU game.

I know. If only we had two of the best WRs in the country vs the 126th ranked pass defense. Ride that Moo State dick!

Marshall, Sammy and Duke did pretty well passing Saturday. I do agree that success here is going to be crucial.
