Don't let Christian Kirk get behind us or return a punt, and we should be ok.

Let me put it this way, don't give the qb time to find him deep.

or that!

Does somebody know something we don't know? Like Mond and Kirk are suspended or something?

They "held" Bama to 232 rush yds, 106 passing. I'm just betting (it's a long shot bet now ****) that even on a bad day, Bama is probably twice as good rushing the ball than we are.

So you think they hold us to 116 rushing?

Probably not ... wouldn't be surprised at 150 or less tho. Don't know. We do seem to run it pretty good, but I know we don't run it better than Bama. I figure Chavis for shore is gonna make Fitz beat them with his arm.

ETA: Bama 8th rushing O (298/game); We're 13th (264/game) and have played 2 teams with much tougher rushing D's than anyone Bama has played. So we may be better than half as good as Bama in rushing the ball.

Florida ran for more than bama (236 to 232) on less carries. Arkansas ran for 6 less yards than bama did on 1 more carry. Guess Florida and Arkansas are just as good as bama running the ball, right?

A&M fought hard hard in the PsychoPhant game... The game was effectively over 4 minutes into the 2nd half, but, apparently, no one from Bammer let the Ags know...

If yall get the same version Bammer played, it'll be interesting... if it's the "regular" A&M y'all should run em outta the building....

Truth.

Read my edited to add on previous post.

A&M was juiced for the Bama. Will we get that kind of juice? Payback for last year?

[sleepy dawg]

I don't like that. Wish they were favored by 2 TDs.

Yeah, it sucks being better than other teams.

[dawgday166]

We don't play very well IMO as favorites against teams we're somewhat evenly matched with. That's my perception anyway. And in reality they have better talent per recruiting rankings.

We're only "better" than them if we wax them this weekend. Otherwise it's just opinions.

[ShotgunDawg]

That swung fast. Now it is MSU -1 with some places having it as a pickum.

Extremely odd, if this holds, we'll have a non-ranked team favored over a ranked team that is playing at home at night. Hmmmmm...........

The first number listed is what it opened at.

+1

I would argue the opposite. When we are fairly evenly matched, we win.

It when we talk ourselves into being evenly matched vs top 5 recruiters that we look terrible & get destroyed.

We were not evenly matched vs UGA & Auburn. They had far more talent than us.

Evenly matched would be comparing us to OM last year or Arkansas over the past 5 years.

That actually may be a better way to put what I was trying to say. So TAM's last 5 classes in order from 2013 - 2017;
9, 5, 11, 18, 13. Note their seniors and RS juniors were a #5 class.

Seems like they recruit better than us. So we're the favs and going into their home turf.
