If you have 9 guys in the box, you have uncovered wide receivers. Bubble screens and slants to uncovered receivers from the shotgun.

If you think you can defend Bama in man to man, you have lost your mind. Norwood, Cooper, Jones and Bell will have a record night.


Same thing we heard about Patterson and Hunter. Yawn...

Bitch, your #9 defense gave up 349 passing yards to TROY.


What part of 3rd string do you not understand? Ban bet right now that we don't give up 349 passing yards to you. Deal?

I would love to see some 5 wide sets and just let A.J. sling it.

Please, PLEASE do this... Get away from your run game and let AJ sling it. Sounds like a great idea! Exactly the purpose of the bait.

What part of man coverage is so difficult for you to understand? You have zero receivers that can beat Slay, Banks, or even Broomfield deep. Go ahead and try.

We will have 8 in the box all game. Count on that...

Why would you have the third string in during a game you lead only 23-21 in the fourth quarter? You did not score your last Td until 7 minutes left in the game.


Bama is not going to attempt 49 passes like Troy.

I will ban bet you that ALA wins.

We don't have to beat them deep, just beat them on a slant or crossing route. Yards after catch. Would love to get any of those DBs on an island.

Banks may lose some ground in his draft rank.

I never remember Auburn or LSU being this bad. Its just funny because all this trash talk is coming from a average team. State's fans have somehow convinced themselves they are elite... sad.

Milliner's draft stock is higher than any MSU DB (top 15 pick in the next draft; #1 corner in the nation).



Milliner has more potential. He IS NOT better than jonathan banks right now.

Lester is projected top 3 rounds this draft. Also higher than any MSU safety.



So is Slay

There is no might about it. Bama's players >>> MSU's players



No there's doubt. What about our other two people in the secondary that could get drafted. One that either will or will get signed as a free agent, no doubt, and another who might stay for senior year.

Everybody knows that stats are not a perfect indicator in football. Y'all probably have the better pass defense so far, but it's because of the front seven, not the secondary. Your front seven is better. Our secondary is. Sorry.

because we were up 23-7 in the 2nd quarter...we have been working on building depth all year- not stats

Of course you will- but thats not what was asked. He asked for a ban bet over a;; that shite you talked about AJ throwing for 350 yards.

So what? After we keep winning and they lose some more- I guarantee you we will be favored- and I'll go ban bet on it- will you?

Hey this is a good one. Hell, I'll go ban bet on this one too if we can get more delusional fans from the other side on board

ut doesn't have a run game. If you have to defend everything it makes you more susceptible to everything. Bama will pass for 225-275 yards on the way to a blowout

This argument feels similar to the "McCarron isn't as good as [insert other QB here], he just has a better team built around him" argument.

I really find it hilarious that MSU fans think they are an elite team. They just better hope they don't get blown out cuz then they're team will be devastated and will probably go on a big losing streak.

They were top 3 in the SEC in rushing when we knocked Rajion Neal out of our game and subsequently also your game. We knocked out their #2 as well.

But Alabama won't have to defend everything against the most balanced State team ever though right?

quote:

So you are going to magically make an extra 100 yards appear this year, with a State team that is much improved at the 2nd CB position?



So, basically, Tyler Russell who played barely over half our series last year, in the read option offense that didn't even remotely fit him, and behind a crap OL, still played every bit as well as AJ last year... Got it.

You might want to look up the circumstances of that football game last year. The week before, Alabama had lost to LSU in a heart breaker in overtime, throwing themselves out of the SEC Championship hunt as well (at least we thought at the time) the BCS Championship hunt. We did not play a good game at all and still would have put a goose egg on you if not for that long kick return to inside the 20-yard line.

We missed two chipshot field goals in the first half, since we are playing the "what if" game..
