Dawgs v Devils

[DEDawg]

Lets do it. Biggest home game in years for the program

[BrunswickDawg]

LFG!

[Bdawg]

Hell yeah!!!

[Catfish]

Boom

[maroonmania]

So far so good!! 7-0 Dogs!

[BeardoMSU]

We came to ****...

[maroonmania]

Bad whiff there. :(

[DEDawg]

Kelly Jones has really impressed me with a small sample size.

[maroonmania]

Not sure what that 4th down call was but it was bad.

[msstate7]

Throw the damn ball, shapen

[mparkerfd20]

2 yds short. Not even close

[starkvegasdawg]

Not sure what that 4th down call was but it was bad.
It started with a bad third down call.

[Bdawg]

Give it to your big RB on third and 2 please

[HoopsDawg]

Not sure what that 4th down call was but it was bad.

I hated the 3rd down call. Give it to Fluff there.

[MBDawg601]

Throw the damn ball, shapen

Often feels like he trust himself less than we do.

[msstate7]

If to goal to go is noxubee time, 4th and 2 is too.

[HoopsDawg]

Often feels like he trust himself less than we do.

Everyone was completely covered. Bad play call on 3rd down. Probably cost us points.

[msstate7]

Everyone was completely covered. Bad play call on 3rd down. Probably cost us points.

Yeah, no where to throw... I was wrong

[HoopsDawg]

ASU is getting big separation

[DEDawg]

Oof Leavitt has ALL day back there

[msstate7]

ASU is getting big separation

Good thing they have a 1st round qb lolillllhahahalolkll

[HoopsDawg]

Nice having a 6?4 corner

[msstate7]

They may and prob will end up coming back to beat us, but I was right - ASU ain't shit

[Bdawg]

Come on OL!!!

[msstate7]

Sun belt Billy is done

[maroonmania]

Kelly Jones is a baller.

[DawgFromOxford]

Defense doing there job. Time for the offense to put up more points

[somebodyshotmypaw]

The defense’s confidence was deflated last year. They are gaining some swagger and confidence now.

[maroonmania]

We need to get another score on the board while their offense is out of sync.

[Bdawg]

We need to get another score on the board while their offense is out of sync.

Keep the pressure on!!

[DownwardDawg]

Sun belt Billy is done

Wow. They lost to South Florida. That should do it for him. Damn Sexton and Kiffin are smiling at the money they will make at season's end.

[maroonmania]

Stupid 4 yard loss by Shapen when he could just throw it away.

[msstate7]

Maybe we need #2 qb

[Bdawg]

Damn Shapen throw it in the stands

[maroonmania]

Terrible goal to go sequence when we were running over them. Don't even attempt a run.

[msstate7]

Damn Shapen throw it in the stands

I'm really hoping there were oline men downfield

[maroonmania]

Nice double make by Ferrie.

[DawgFromOxford]

Good job Ferrie.
Offense is leaving too many points on the board

[somebodyshotmypaw]

In the first quarter we are dominating in first downs, yards, and time of possession. We need to keep the pressure on.

[DownwardDawg]

Terrible goal to go sequence when we were running over them. Don't even attempt a run.

Yeah that didn't feel good. 10-0 is still good but we should be up by at least 14. We have dominated this game so far.

[Bdawg]

3 man front gets run on

[DownwardDawg]

We still miss too many tackles.

[Bdawg]

4 man front we stuff it

[DEDawg]

4 man front we stuff it

Feels like we dont trust our secondary yet

[Bdawg]

I'm really hoping there were oline men downfield

Design pass. Shouldn’t be

[Brobi-wan]

All of y?all who said the lights didn?t matter were dead wrong. Hope y?all are here to see it. Go dawgs

[Bdawg]

Feels like we dont trust our secondary yet

Been a few open receivers

[1eyedog]

The “DOGS” have a LEG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[maroonmania]

These are definitely not SEC refs or we would have never gotten that OPI call.

[mparkerfd20]

This is definitely not the D we had last year.

[HoopsDawg]

43 was a helluva eval and buy

[Bdawg]

Whitson baby! That’s one!

[BeardoMSU]

We came to ****...

[bulldawg28]

We score here it's going to get ugly.

[memsu06]

We need to put the dagger in right now.

Otherwise we're doing enough to win, but not enough to prevent them from making a comeback.

[bulldawg28]

Money!!

[1eyedog]

Wow......OUT FREAKING STANDING....!!!!!!!!!!

[maroonmania]

I love these refs!!!!!

[Thick]

What a catch!!!

[DEDawg]

Guys. Remember when we were worried about WR?

[mparkerfd20]

What kind of bizarro world is this when we getting all the calls????

[BeardoMSU]

We �� came �� to �� **** ��

[Statecoachingblows**]

Helluva catch!

[Bdawg]

Good flag pick up. That was not a chop block. Was not engaged. Would not have picked it up against Bama though.

[Bdawg]

We need to put the dagger in right now.

Otherwise we're doing enough to win, but not enough to prevent them from making a comeback.

Better?

[MBDawg601]

I?m not at the game but I can tell you right now.. that?s the loudest I?ve heard DWS since 2k14

[HoopsDawg]

Can we keep this Big 12 refs?

[Bdawg]

What kind of bizarro world is this when we getting all the calls????

This what Bama feels like???

[memsu06]

Don't let off the gas, we need a statement win.

[Coach34]

This is the best we've looked since 2017

[Bdawg]

Who thinks that was chop block after replay? I thought you have to be engaged with player

[maroonmania]

Good flag pick up. That was not a chop block. Was not engaged. Would not have picked it up against Bama though.

That's what I thought. The guy had gone past Traore before Bothwell blocked him.

[Coach34]

Who thinks that was chop block after replay? I thought you have to be engaged with player

If he is touching another player-any contact- its a chop. Engagement no longer matters

[Bdawg]

If he is touching another player-any contact- its a chop. Engagement no longer matters

Ok. Guess we are Bama tonight

[Coach34]

Ok. Guess we are Bama tonight

Yeah- its why you cant cut any 1-techs anymore. If they have a hand on the Center its called a chop

[maroonmania]

Leavitt looks just as bad throwing the ball against us this year as he did last year.

[Westdawg]

Yah, it was was a chop block, but man it feels good to get a call go our way for a change lol

[MBDawg601]

Don?t let up. They must die.

[maroonmania]

Yeah- its why you cant cut any 1-techs anymore. If they have a hand on the Center its called a chop

Well that's just ridiculous. Yes, Traore's hand may have still been 'touching' the defender but that's a bad rule.

[maroonmania]

Yah, it was was a chop block, but man it feels good to get a call go our way for a change lol

Well, someone on the officiating crew disagreed because otherwise they wouldn't have picked up the flag.

[1eyedog]

I hate to belabor the point.....it’s a great game...DOGS are balling......but all the camera people can show is wide angle shots of the crowd....apparently MSU has no beautiful people.........the difference in how MSU and the other school is covered is maddening..........and is obvious.

[maroonmania]

Shapen is just a very average QB.

[Statecoachingblows**]

I hate to belabor the point.....it’s a great game...DOGS are balling......but all the camera people can show is wide angle shots of the crowd....apparently MSU has no beautiful people.........the difference in how MSU and the other school is covered is maddening..........and is obvious.

They haven't seen that many state fans cheering at one time in a long time, they don't know what to do.

[DEDawg]

Shapen is just a very average QB.
Great arm talent. Isnt gonna extend a play. Coverage sacks like that one right there just gonna happen with him. Can?t wait for KT in a couple years

[Coach34]

Well that's just ridiculous. Yes, Traore's hand may have still been 'touching' the defender but that's a bad rule.

I agree with you. But this is part of the "safety movement" in football the last 15 years

[Coach34]

Shapen is just a very average QB.

I would say solid. He is solid.

[Coach34]

. Can?t wait for KT in a couple years

KT should be ready by next August

[maroonmania]

The ball crossing the boundary was definitely before the 29.

[Maverick91]

The whole protecting players is where this call right here is an issue. Number one should have been able to deck the QB to stop him from getting a first down. But he cannot

[Statecoachingblows**]

Got lucky, go score

[maroonmania]

The ball crossing the boundary was definitely before the 29.

I'm sure SEC refs would have given it to him though.

[BrunswickDawg]

Shapen is just a very average QB.

He sure is better than Heisman Candidate Leavit who is 4/12 for 7 yards

[Bdawg]

Well that's just ridiculous. Yes, Traore's hand may have still been 'touching' the defender but that's a bad rule.

I agree

[HoopsDawg]

That was NOT holding

[bulldawg28]

Throw the ball away Shapen....sheeesh

[maroonmania]

2nd unnecessary sack taken by Shapen. Throw it away!

[Coach34]

Yeah- bad sack

[civildawg]

The check down was wide open there

[Thick]

Treore has got to catch the ball!

[Bdawg]

Treore has got to catch the ball!

Bad bad. Would have been a nice play

[HoopsDawg]

Bad holding call killed that drive.

[DEDawg]

Traore missed the memo to show up and play hard tonight

[HoopsDawg]

Why did we sub out Pulliam. Damn it

[maroonmania]

Well, our punting will give them a chance to score before the half. Is college punting that difficult?

[Bdawg]

20 yard punt will haunt us

[HoopsDawg]

That punt may cost us.

[DownwardDawg]

The crowd is insane. Outstanding job.

[maroonmania]

Why do we not have people deeper???

[civildawg]

That was not roughing the passer

[1eyedog]

clean hit

[HoopsDawg]

Don?t mind that penalty. Physical football.

[maroonmania]

Stupid penalty and stupid punting gave away that 3 points.

[bulldawg28]

Great half! Finish strong ���� ����

[msstate7]

Officials gave them 3. F!

[Bdawg]

Officials gave them 3. F!

No doubt. But can’t complain too much

[BeardoMSU]

We should be up way more. We're dominating them where it feels likes 50-0, but here we are.. Just 14 points.

[starkvegasdawg]

This first drive starting the second half will be critical. We stop them we're in good shape. They go down and get a TD all bets are off.

[Dawgology]

That was a clean hit on the QB. And dude got his helmet ripped off…no call

[1eyedog]

Please don’t do the Bellard/Mullen conservative Harakiri......Attack!

[BeardoMSU]

Please don’t do the Bellard/Mullen conservative Harakiri......Attack!

Stans with his finger spinning in the air***

[bulldawg28]

Keep doing what we've been doing and smuggle them in the 3rd quarter. Don't allow more than 3 points and we'll wear them down and pull away big time in the 4th.

[BeardoMSU]

We need to run the ball. And Blake needs to learn how to throw the GD ball away. He's giving me Roger's vibes back there with his concrete feet, too.

[PGHBulldogBG]

It?s fairly even score wise per yardage. I?m just afraid our defense can?t keep up with the pace. It will be crucial to get a stop and no points when they get the ball. If they get a TD we are in trouble

[Coach34]

We should be up way more. We're dominating them where it feels likes 50-0, but here we are.. Just 14 points.

Yeah this is what bothers me. We should be up 20-plus but they are within 14 and get the ball to start the 3rd. A TD drive by them and its anybody's game again.

[chef dixon]

Just some really stupid plays for a 25 year old QB

[maroonmania]

Yeah this is what bothers me. We should be up 20-plus but they are within 14 and get the ball to start the 3rd. A TD drive by them and its anybody's game again.

Getting it back to a 2 score game was big for them at the end of the half. Bad punt and roughing the passer call gave them the 3 points. What made that roughing the passer? The ball had just left his hand when he was hit.

[BeardoMSU]

Yeah this is what bothers me. We should be up 20-plus but they are within 14 and get the ball to start the 3rd. A TD drive by them and its anybody's game again.

Yep

[Bdawg]

Getting it back to a 2 score game was big for them at the end of the half. Bad punt and roughing the passer call gave them the 3 points. What made that roughing the passer? The ball had just left his hand when he was hit.

May have called our player continuing playing with no helmet. IDK

[Bdawg]

Come on D!!

[maroonmania]

3 straight plays of running on us so far this half.

[maroonmania]

Their player was set up a yard past the LOS on that snap!!!

[1eyedog]

Shiite Mushroom........**** holding on interior line last three plays

[DEDawg]

Time to see what kind of coach Lebby is. We came out soft after half, he needs to get them right

[maroonmania]

They kill us when Leavitt doesn't have to throw the ball. Just like last year.

[Thick]

Don?t look now, but ASU is shoving it right down our throats!

[Bdawg]

Terrible second half start

[maroonmania]

That was so easy for them. No passes.

[Maverick91]

That was pathetic.

[1eyedog]

Like I said earlier....please please..... NO Harakiri

[Coach34]

New ballgame now

[DEDawg]

Horrible

[Bdawg]

Absolutely checked out manhood right there. We failed

[Maverick91]

What kind of adjustments did we do?

[maroonmania]

Was concerned about this. They have a better coaching staff than we do. Second half adjustments may do us in.

[Dawgface]

Welp…

[Bdawg]

What kind of adjustments did we do?

Have to adjust now. Make Leveat beat you with his arm. If he does, so be it

[MBDawg601]

Too much praise in the halftime speech and not enough ass chewing.

[Dawgology]

Was concerned about this. They have a better coaching staff than we do. Second half adjustments may do us in.

Told my buddy the same thing. 2nd half would determine who has the best coaches. Good adjustments by ASU. DC clearly said keep doing what we’ve been doing (which makes sense). We will see how the offense answers and that will be the take of the game.

[CadaverDawg]

Too much praise in the halftime speech and not enough ass chewing.

Yep.

I was afraid of this. One team is used to winning, one isn't. Gotta learn how to finish a team when you have them on the ropes. From coaching staff down.

Either way, we are so improved. But you would hate to have a 17-0 lead turn into a loss

[MBDawg601]

You don?t go into have leading 17-3 in a game you should be winning 35-0 and give praise. Someone?s ass needs to be getting chewed. Doesn?t seem to have happened.

[maroonmania]

Come on offense. Never thought 17 points was actually going to win this game.

[1eyedog]

ok refs we are even on the flags

[msstate7]

They may come back and smoke us, but in all my days of watching football, I've never said I wish we were down 7. We're still up, and I think we got it

[maroonmania]

Shapen is so indecisive. Lots of 'coverage' sacks with him.

[mparkerfd20]

Well it was fun for a half

[Bdawg]

This stinks

[civildawg]

Man Shapen is so average. This game is about to change

[MBDawg601]

Yep. Refs won?t see shit rest of the game.

Multiple missed holding calls on the opening drive then that PI call.

Figures.

[defiantdog]

Shapen has no vision. If he hasn't picked it up by now, he never will.

[msstate7]

They may come back and smoke us, but in all my days of watching football, I've never said I wish we were down 7. We're still up, and I think we got it

Never mind, we done haha

[Maverick91]

Absolutely terrible coaching at halftime. Also why not bounce outside on that first run.

[Saltydog]

Boys, I've seen this movie before. The ending sucks.

[bulldawg28]

Shapen has to throw the ball. He's obviously only throwing if Wr's are wide open. I don't know if he can throw a WR open. Anyways, let's go D!

[CadaverDawg]

Ugly end and start to the half. We gotta keep attacking. Shapen can't get scared to screw up, gotta sling it. You didn't get a 17-0 lead playing sissy ball, can't start now

[MBDawg601]

Absolutely terrible coaching at halftime. Also why not bounce outside on that first run.

Run into brick walls. That?s what we are built off of.

[Turfdawg67]

Shapen is so indecisive. Lots of 'coverage' sacks with him.

He stares down one receiver...

[CadaverDawg]

Absolutely terrible coaching at halftime. Also why not bounce outside on that first run.

Yeah, that was terrible vision, the outside was wide open

[HoopsDawg]

Shapen is so indecisive. Lots of 'coverage' sacks with him.

Our receivers aren?t open. Need to play #11 just to have some size on the outside.

[Activated Alpha]

Boys, I've seen this movie before. The ending sucks.

Yup spent all day watching football and I have a full slate tomorrow of watching nfl games. Might just turn it off now and watch something with the missus. I have seen this movie before

[Bdawg]

Absolutely terrible coaching at halftime. Also why not bounce outside on that first run.

Said exact same thing, bounce it

[Dawgology]

Lame. Clearly no adjustment. About to be a tie game

[HoopsDawg]

Ugly end and start to the half. We gotta keep attacking. Shapen can't get scared to screw up, gotta sling it. You didn't get a 17-0 lead playing sissy ball, can't start now

They won the middle 8 for sure.

[maroonmania]

Their offense is in rhythm now. Our offense has Shapen not knowing what he wants to do.

[maroonmania]

Thank you Mr. Tyson! We were about to give up another first down with that catch.

[bulldawg28]

We need to get back into a rhythm and move the ball here.

[chef dixon]

Thank you Mr. Tyson! We were about to give up another first down with that catch.

Popped his ass too

[CadaverDawg]

Ok, we ain't holding them to 10. Find that gas pedal and get back on it boys

[Maverick91]

Yeah, that was terrible vision, the outside was wide open

Where's is Dicenzo when we need him.

[CadaverDawg]

Leavitt is tough as a two dollar steak though, I'll give him that. He takes a lot of hits and keeps lowering that shoulder.

[maroonmania]

Ok, we ain't holding them to 10. Find that gas pedal and get back on it boys

Yep, offense is going to have to do something this half or we won't win this game.

[CadaverDawg]

Get it to your best WR here. Kid is a playmaker. Get him the ball offensive guru

[Maverick91]

I am tired of these offenses where we have to have a really great QB to succeed

[Maverick91]

lol we are air raiding it up

[DEDawg]

Man that was a TD. Just missed it

[chef dixon]

What a bad penalty

[maroonmania]

So stupid! And that stops the drive.

[HoopsDawg]

Wow. What a big penalty

[Maverick91]

That tempo is what we must continue to bring on offense. Whatever we did that first drive

[maroonmania]

Weren't they offsides????

[civildawg]

I don't like going for it there

[Bdawg]

Where is the offsides!!!!!

[mparkerfd20]

That ****ing by the refs just lost us the game.

[Maverick91]

Terrible refs. Unreal zone and early contact

[DEDawg]

Weren't they offsides????
Yep. Refs making up for first half

[maroonmania]

Illegal procedure penalty turned everything around.

[State82]

That was supremely stupid

[Dawgology]

We just not calling offside now. Wtaf

[Saltydog]

Terrible call there by Lebby to go for that 4th down.

[mparkerfd20]

Terrible call there by Lebby to go for that 4th down.
Even worse no call offsides. THAT was the killer

[Dawgology]

Terrible call there by Lebby to go for that 4th down.

Agreed

[HoopsDawg]

3 has to lineup but Shapen has to make sure we are set. It?s 3rd and 1. Huge, huge play in this game.

[maroonmania]

Terrible call there by Lebby to go for that 4th down.

Yea, I think we snapped it though because we thought we had a free play. The really bad issue was the illegal procedure on 3rd and 1.

[MBDawg601]

Refs got the call at half time.

We are going to have to beat ASU and the Big 12 in the 4th.

[Bdawg]

Terrible call there by Lebby to go for that 4th down.

Did the center do it on his own? Asu guy took a full step to the LOS and then we snapped it.

[BeardoMSU]

Welp, we're cooked.

[Turfdawg67]

Terrible call there by Lebby to go for that 4th down.

It was a hard count that worked. The shitty refs just didn't call it.

[CadaverDawg]

Well, if anybody tells you ASU is trying to tie it heading into the 4th, we take it. But man it feels like a different game right now. We need a turn over like a SOB

[Dawgface]

Dumb dumb dumb. You can’t go for it in that situation. ASU will make us pay. They score here and they are in control.

[HoopsDawg]

Did the center do it on his own? He took a full step to the LOS and then we snapped it.

If the RT had moved it would have been offsides. At least in the NFL it is. I assume CFB is the same.

[CadaverDawg]

We will have to score 27 to win it in my opinion. At least

[PGHBulldogBG]

ASU will tie it and win 27-17 ironically I thought that would be about the end score. At the same time it?s not the end of the world if Lebby can build from the portal. It could?ve been a lot worse

[HoopsDawg]

Is Whitson hurt?

[Turfdawg67]

If the RT had moved it would have been offsides. At least in the NFL it is. I assume CFB is the same.

That's true. But if we snap it when the DL is in the neutral zone, it's also offsides.

[Maverick91]

Man flipping to the student section might just have saved this game.

[chef dixon]

Don't love our chances to stop them on 4th and 1

[maroonmania]

Our offense will lose us this game unless they bow up and score again. We haven't even threatened to score since the pass to Thompson. One penalty kills our drive every time.

[CadaverDawg]

If they hand this off, they score. Their OL is dominating us.

If they don't hand it off, they may have every WR open and a lane for the QB bc we are selling out.

Either way, this is 6. Need a False Start created by the crowd again

[Bdawg]

That's true. But if we snap it when the DL is in the neutral zone, it's also offsides.

How does the guy take a full step forward and we snap it, and it’s not offsides?

[Maverick91]

When you have different conferences playing each other there should be a rule that a third conference refs must officiate.

[maroonmania]

Don't love our chances to stop them on 4th and 1

Yea, will be pretty shocking if we stop them.

[CadaverDawg]

When you have different conferences playing each other there should be a rule that a third conference refs must officiate.

I agree. It's a weird deal. But we have gotten our fair share of calls in this one.

[CadaverDawg]

Gutsy call. Hats off

[maroonmania]

Oh well, was fun while it lasted.

[civildawg]

If Shapen can't get us at least a field goal this drive, put someone else in

[Saltydog]

Shouldn't have been in that position to start with. Kick it every time in that situation .

[CadaverDawg]

It was fun while at lasted. We are much improved, but haven't won enough as a staff or players to know how to close one like this out.

Probably hurt us getting up by so much early. We let up. Experienced coaches wouldn't allow it

[Dawgology]

If Shapen can't get us at least a field goal this drive, put someone else inn

Yep. He’s been pouting the entire 2nd half. Also, our coaches are being out-coached

[maroonmania]

I'll tell you, it worked but that was not an easy catch.

[defiantdog]

Shapen is awful

[CadaverDawg]

Body language ain't good. We cooked

[maroonmania]

I have NO confidence in Shapen to lead a 4th Q drive.

[Dawgface]

3-9 here we come.

[Turfdawg67]

How does the guy take a full step forward and we snap it, and it?s not offsides?

Don't know. They've committed 3-4 borderline penalties and nothing has been called.

Every other SEC team, at home, would've gotten that call.

[maroonmania]

BAD spot

[CadaverDawg]

Crazy thing is every State fan knew as soon as they kicked that gifted FG to end the half, that they would score to start the half and we would be in a game quick

[CadaverDawg]

Shapen has got to dump that to the RB

[Saltydog]

I'd rather have faith in my players but unfortunately I don't until they prove me wrong otherwise.

[DEDawg]

First down play calling is bad

[CadaverDawg]

Vandy beating up on Va Tech

Dannnng give him a chance, Blake!

[CadaverDawg]

Anddddd that'll do it

[maroonmania]

We get stuck at midfield every time. Shapen is just not it against a good team.

[defiantdog]

The Shapen project is over. No vision, can't run passed the LOS, and isn't that accurate.

[MBDawg601]

Shapen has zero confidence. He triple pumps every pass.

[maroonmania]

We haven't scored in hours it seems.

[1eyedog]

Just takes one guy to Man up......just one.

[civildawg]

He won't even think about hitting the check down. Give someone else a shot.

[Bdawg]

Crazy thing is every State fan knew as soon as they kicked that gifted FG to end the half, that they would score to start the half and we would be in a game quick

It’s unbelievable how we know that will happen!

[bulldawg28]

Shapen has too much leeway. Coach needs to tell him what to do. Run the ball

[Maverick91]

Winnning this game means a lot more than just winning. This is a Saturday night high profile situation. People will talk about it. If we win it changes the perspective of State in a big way.

[maroonmania]

Since the Thompson TD the offense has been awful.
