Arizona State - I don't see it.

[archdog]

Alright, I will start this by saying we have to play a clean game Saturday and execute better at literally every position to win this game, but I am not seeing ASU as that big of a challenge as some of you are making it out to be.

They are a solid team. No doubt. I am just saying Skattabo last year is what did us in. Without that guy, I am telling you, we win that game last year. I am going on record, we play a good solid game and win this off the backs of Evans, Treore, Booth, and Shapen. I think we win this 30-17.

[MStateDawg]

we have to play a clean game Saturday and execute better at literally every position.

In Lebby's 13 games as Head Coach, how many of those would you say we've played a clean game with a high level of execution?

[MrCoachKlein]

I don't either. I think it's ~5th easiest game on our schedule. Maybe 4th since Ark and Mizzou are on the road.

[archdog]

I don't either. I think it's ~5th easiest game on our schedule. Maybe 4th since Ark and Mizzou are on the road.

Agreed. Lebby, last year we lost by 10 pts or less to #7 ASU on the road (playoff team), #6 Georgia on the road (Playoff Team), and by 12 pts to ranked Ole Miss on the road.
We were in the game with Texas until Arch was allowed to run with 3 holds on 3rd and forever. Now Texas was going to beat us anyway, but at the critical moment Texas got blind refs for a couple plays.

Point being, we were not just blown out last year left and right. We played not great, but I believe we are actually a marginally better team this year. We will not have the worst defense in our school's history this year. We will have a better running attack. And Shapen is better than MVB.

[TrapGame]

ASU has to play a clean game too. They had a bunch of penalties against NAU. About 30k+ cowbells Saturday night will not help that situation.

[Cowbeller]

The score last year really blinded a lot of us. They dominated and we mounted a comeback by them just handing to Skat anytime they had the ball and milking clock. Without an 80 yard TD pass late we still lose by 14.

Leavitt and Tyson still bring that offense a scary dynamic and let?s admit it, timing is everything. Playing a team when they are top 10 is just harder than when both are sitting at 4-3 or whatever. We have a whole lot against us to overcome but I think we have it.

As long as we play gritty and do not let them get an early lead taking the crowd out of it we can match up with them and I still think they finish top 3 in the big 12

[parabrave]

As long as we can get the running game going and hope it is 100% humidity Sat night we can wear them down. And also we don't drop a few sure TDs again.

[Thick]

If we can just tackle the ball carrier on initial contact, we should win the game, and don?t drop TD?s, we should win the game. The tackling or lack there of was utterly amazing last year at this time.

[BeardoMSU]

The fact that cartoon named freak Scatabadadingdong isn't running for them gives me a lot of hope.

[Coach34]

The score last year really blinded a lot of us. They dominated and we mounted a comeback by them just handing to Skat anytime they had the ball and milking clock. Without an 80 yard TD pass late we still lose by 14.

This. They beat our ass last year. It was never in doubt. They were coasting to run the clock get the game over.

With that being said-them having that stud RB was a big part of that and he is gone. We are certainly improved and will be at home. We def have a chance to win the ballgame and it should be a good one. D needs to continue getting better and OLine has to play better as well. It would help if Shapen is able to dodge injury another game. I worry that every game he takes the field will be his last. I expect us to be ready and good game is played.

[Bdawg]

A win is doable, but we have to clean up the penalties and OL has to play much better. I hope we ground and pound them into submission and then hit deep shots. Win TOP and keep their offense on the sidelines by running the ball. We have a chance but a lot has to be cleaned up.

[cheewgumm]

It?s exciting watching Kelly Jones. He?s a freak.

We have 2 freaks

K Jones
Kamario

For the game, Az State looks good to me on YouTube .

This will be a great win if we get it.

[archdog]

Oh it will be a good win. But they are not who they were last year.

[DawgFromOxford]

Winnable but as mentioned by others we have to play cleaner.

I?d also like to see the offense hum the whole first half. Seems last year we were always playing from behind and even against USM the offense didn?t find its footing until the 3rd quarter

[Hot Rock]

Agreed. Lebby, last year we lost by 10 pts or less to #7 ASU on the road (playoff team), #6 Georgia on the road (Playoff Team), and by 12 pts to ranked Ole Miss on the road.

That loss? Ten points? It was 30-3 and ASU started coasting, put in a bunch of 2nd and 3rd stringers and we got a couple late scores. Final scores can be misleading.

[msstate7]

You're being deceiving also. State's 3 TDs in 2nd half were with 2:29 left in 3rd, 13:09 left in 4th, and 5:27 left in 4th. So it was a 14 pt game with 13:09 left and a 7 pt game with 5:27 left. And they won by 7, not 10

That's my take. The game last year was by no means as close as the final score. Wasn't ASU up 30-3 at one point or something like that. It's great we made the comeback but most of the game was not competitive.

Agree we have a chance here if we play a clean, sound game with few penalties and no turnovers but haven't see us play any of those type games recently.

[Activated Alpha]

We also didn't believe a white kid named skitterbedoo would run all over us like Derrick Henry did. Don't fault me for holding my breath against ASU.

Tends to happen when you have a hard nosed RB going against a defensive front who are not very talented and the bone headed DC only playing 5 in the box.

[MrCoachKlein]

Thought this was interesting. 247 has us as the 24th most talented team going by recruiting rankings (all players on roster). OM at 21 & ASU at 33. Couldn't figure how to post the screenshot.

I think any game that is a one score game is labeled as competitive. There were 5 minutes in the game when we scored the last touchdown... If the roles were flipped, you guys would be saying that they played us tough.. Not sure why our fans are the way they are in that regard.

[MBDawg601]

They had 69 passing yards... They weren't coasting in the 2nd half.. They ran the ball the entire game... Their plan did not change one bit the entire game.

[parabrave]

Didn't we drop a sure TD pass in the game?

[DEDawg]

Didn't we drop a sure TD pass in the game?

Yep. Traore pretty sure. Shapen put it right in his hands for an easy TD first quarter

[Coach34]

They had 69 passing yards... They weren't coasting in the 2nd half.. They ran the ball the entire game... Their plan did not change one bit the entire game.

They played alot of back-ups to gain experience and save their guys. They beat our ass and got caught coasting

Yep we cut our own team both ways; I don't see any other fan base to that to their own teams. It was a close game, we played real bad first half but beat them in the 2nd half.

This game comes down to their DL and our OL and backs. I say backs because we have the depth to wear them own in 2nd half if we can just get stops and keep it close, kinda like USM

Leavitt and Scattebo were both on the field the entire 4th Q.

[Hot Rock]

You're being deceiving also. State's 3 TDs in 2nd half were with 2:29 left in 3rd, 13:09 left in 4th, and 5:27 left in 4th. So it was a 14 pt game with 13:09 left and a 7 pt game with 5:27 left. And they won by 7, not 10

It's good that State didn't quit last year and kept fighting even when an almost certain loss was at hand. That is impressive and is encouraging that they kept fighting but ASU had let up once up that big. Not that they weren't still playing hard but backups were in the game a lot more and so was the play calling and not just on offense. They played defense to make us drive down the field and eat up the clock.

I hope you are right and State kicks their butts.

I think we're better. I think they're worse. We're at home. We certainly could lose considering we've done plenty of it the last couple seasons, but I feel pretty good about this one.

ok you win. They didnt play an back-up guys on the OL/WR or on D. They kept trying to put it to us and just couldnt. We didnt lose-We ran out of time

[msstate7]

Why are they worse exactly? Skataboo? They return most of the front 7 who stopped our run game, a potential NFL QB and first round WR.

[BeardoMSU]

He was basically their offense. His running and the threat of his run was their offense. Plus, I just think they were lucky as hell last season in general. Maybe they prove me wrong this season, and they're actually a top 15 program. I don't think we're good at all, and they're a 6.5 pt favorite as the #12 team. That says a lot to me. I'm betting us on money line

[Pancho]

don't they have 17 returning starters?

[DownwardDawg]

I think any game that is a one score game is labeled as competitive. There were 5 minutes in the game when we scored the last touchdown... If the roles were flipped, you guys would be saying that they played us tough.. Not sure why our fans are the way they are in that regard.

Our fans have always been this way. It's the biggest difference between us and ole miss fans.
I can 100% guarantee you that if we beat Arizona State, then it's because they are way overrated. Just an average team and not worthy of playing an SEC team. Now if ole miss were to play them and beat them, it would be championed from one end of the earth to the other by every ole miss fan alive. It would be hailed as another incredible top 10 win by the Mighty Rebels!!!!!
There would be talks of playoffs and heisman contenders!!!! Big time!!!!

Lol. I'm 58. I've lived it.

If we start the season 5-0 with a program changing win against Tennessee, it's because they lost their QB and they will surely lose 4-5 more games this season.

I'm not sure how we lose this mentality. I don't know if it can be changed.

[Bothrops]

I don't either. I think it's ~5th easiest game on our schedule. Maybe 4th since Ark and Mizzou are on the road.

While that's probably true, Arizona St has more speed than last year.

Glad I'm not the only one who notices this.

Another example would be this past weekend. If we best Georgia State 63-7 our fans would be like "yeah well that's Georgia State and they suck. I'm worried because our QB threw 2 interceptions and our defense had some trouble against the run."

Ole Miss would make a damn bumper sticker and have the Clarion-Ledger put out a coffee table book if they beat Arizona State.

Unless it's Dan Mullen he gets a complete pass for doing the same things other coaches did at MSU for some weird reason.

I mean you said they pulled guys, but I just showed where all their stars played. If you wanna keep arguing about it, I'll show you their defenders

They did pull guys. I watched the ****ing game. Their back-up TB's had 10 carries. I watched them run Scooby Doo back out there because we were able to score on back-up guys they put out there on D. They had to put the starters back in because the back-ups couldnt handle bidness. They still beat our ass.

The only advantage we have is that it's a home game. If Lebby wins this one, he's got a Golden Horseshoe stuck up his ass in the offseason. We better be physical or they're going to wipe the floor with us.

They had a NFL running back against our dreadful defense at home last year.

I know their QB is a Heisman candidate but they don't have Scooby-Doo anymore and without question our defense is much better than last year. We're better on offense too IMO.

I don't know if we will win or not- but I do think it will be a close game and it won't be easy for Arizona State by any stretch of the imagination.

After we win Saturday night, we'll be 2-0 with wins on the road against Southern Miss and at home against a top 10-11 Playoff team.
If ole miss wins they will be 2-0 with wins against Kentucky and Georgia Southern.

We will be projected to end up 4-9 or 5-7. They will be projected to make the playoffs.

Yep this is the MSU fanbase in a nutshell. Seen it my whole life; on the other side with OM; they beat 4 cupcakes to start the season averaging 70 a game and they claim they are NC contenders. Happens every year. Why are MSU fans like this? My kids even turned out like this and I trained them opposite? Do they teach a class at MSU how to hate your team or you don't graduate?

Instead of being excited for hosting a top 10 team at home, at night.. We are on here debating shit that don't matter. Big time game tomorrow, we need to be locked in. This is one of the 2-3 games Saturday that are worth watching for the average football fan.

[Goldendawg]

They took TX to overtime in last year's playoffs and from what I have read they only lost Scattaboo from that team. Said he has been replaced by another 1000 yard rusher from the portal that we also tried to get. We have our work cut out for us and a win will indeed be an upset that will gain much needed hope and national attention. Get it! Hail State!

Krik and Trae Young both pick State.

Lol, jesus....you are incapable of admitting you are wrong.

He is wrong. They were playing their starters. We mounted a comeback. And if our run game could have done anything we win that game.

This year is a completely different year. We will get their best shot. We, if we play physical, will win. Outright.

Why are they worse exactly? Skataboo? They return most of the front 7 who stopped our run game, a potential NFL QB and first round WR.

I think it?s too early to say they are better or worse this year but I do believe the matchup for us is much better this year. We didn?t know how bad our front 7 was last year by game 2 but we sure found out

The only advantage we have is that it's a home game. If Lebby wins this one, he's got a Golden Horseshoe stuck up his ass in the offseason. We better be physical or they're going to wipe the floor with us.


State +10

You're on

Golden Horseshoe it is! Hail State! I'm out!

Golden Horseshoe it is! Hail State! I'm out!

Nah, I was just drunk talking crap. Ban bet lifted

Alright, I will start this by saying we have to play a clean game Saturday and execute better at literally every position to win this game, but I am not seeing ASU as that big of a challenge as some of you are making it out to be.

They are a solid team. No doubt. I am just saying Skattabo last year is what did us in. Without that guy, I am telling you, we win that game last year. I am going on record, we play a good solid game and win this off the backs of Evans, Treore, Booth, and Shapen. I think we win this 30-17.

Called it.
