Looks good on paper, seems like always a let down in this game. Glad it is at home

I think this one will be close. We aren't 100% after the LSU game. Tua little dinged up, Ruggs banged up. Plus we never seem to be 100% following the LSU game every year.

Yea I agree - I expect a Saban rant of epic proportions on Monday or Tuesday in his presser.

Nah. They're really good on paper but the lack of a consistent passing game is a death sentence against us.

WE are almost always have injuries after LSU game, but I don't think it's serious enough to warrant a close game against MSU. I don't anticpate anyone sitting out a game against MSU.. except for Harris.

I know I have seen Ford in at least 2 games this year.

I like our matchup better against state. Better up front than LSU but worse In the back end. And obviously we don't have the crowd messing us up either.

I agree with all this but it is balaced by the almost inevitable letdown coming off LSU.

I would be perfectly happy with an injury free 30-10 win.

I think this is a worse matchup for us than L8U. Moo State has a very good pass rush.

Yes their offense is pretty one dimensional, but if you don’t hit Fitz square he keeps going.

We are pretty beat up after Sat night, I see this as the closest game we play till the SECCG.

Yep, and the MSU defense is really good, and Fitzgerald has been gaining confidence in the passing game. Wouldn't be surprised to see a 27-17 type final.

Way more worried about this one than LSU just because of their D line. Gotta keep the Samoan off the turf.

The best passing team they have played so far is either Auburn or Texas A&M.

They gave up 4.3 YPC against Kentucky/Florida/Auburn.

I think we'll have pretty decent success against them. And we will murder their offense.

That's interesting. My initial thought thinking about MSU was that we might have trouble running the ball the way we want to, but that they would be vulnerable int he secondary. Looks like we can run it as much as we want to based on that.
