I would love to see State play hard and win. They deserve it. Best fans in the SEC. My brother lives in Columbus and have to gone to some games. I think if they play up to their potential they have a good shot.


Nice gesture and I think both Miss State and Ole Miss have played good football this year. But you are expecting them to go on the road in BDS with a offense that relies on a lot of communication and checks. You are also expecting them to play on the road with minimum mistakes offensively or defensively against one of the most sound teams in the country.

I agree. All the tangibles are with Bama. I am simply allowing for a gut feeling and the eye test. Bama is everyone's Goliath this year and from the way I've seen State fight into the fourth, them bringing a good game and making Bama question themselves is not out of the question even if it is unlikely.

That is the one thing State has really impressed me with. We are disciplined and don't get many penalties at all or turn the ball over. We play fundamentally sound which imo is why the Bama game will be close. It will take a couple lucky breaks to beat Bama though, ya'll are straight up more talented.
