Dawgs v Huskies

[DEDawg]

Don?t overlook this game for Tenn. Let?s have it done by halftime and get KT some snaps

[DEDawg]

First time in 19 games not to get to ball first. That?s crazy lol

[DEDawg]

First time we?ve looked like last years D. Really hope this isn?t a trap game

[R2Dawg]

Well, we look like crap.

[Dawgology]

First time we?ve looked like last years D. Really hope this isn?t a trap game

It?s 100% a trap game. Just hope they don?t fall into it?or at least score enough to get a win.

[DEDawg]

Team last year 100% gives us a TD there. Hopefully we settled down now and tighten up

[R2Dawg]

We got a little pressure that time. We really came out flat. Must respond here with a score.

[DEDawg]

I just want to see us establish the run game early. Get that ready for SEC play

[DEDawg]

I just want to see us establish the run game early. Get that ready for SEC play

Ok well Lebby obviously had a different idea

[chef dixon]

What is Shapen doing?

[R2Dawg]

Shapen got to dive and not slide. Kamario would be gashing them

[DEDawg]

I hate this drive. Coaches must see something they like in the air but I am not following this playcalling

[DEDawg]

Literally zero reason for Shapen to take a hit there gotta be smarter

[chef dixon]

Sluggish drive but good result

[DEDawg]

Sluggish drive but good result
7 is 7 but that was ugly

[chef dixon]

Literally zero reason for Shapen to take a hit there gotta be smarter

Well he's sliding so much otherwise it's killing possible 7 yard gains into 3 yard gains

[Ranchdawg]

Finally blocking on that touchdown. Now defense needs to stop their run game because imo they can’t beat us passing.

[R2Dawg]

The edges are open and so is the run. They playing a 3 man front and only 5 in box to stop our deep passing game. Going to be a low scoring fast game. No mistakes and D needs a stop.

[MBDawg601]

We look flat and slow. Low energy. Recipe for an upset.

[DEDawg]

Man the DL is becoming a concern for me. We aren't exactly being more physical than a MAC team

[MBDawg601]

Man the DL is becoming a concern for me. We aren't exactly being more physical than a MAC team

Line getting zero push. Only pressure comes from the edges with corner or LB

[MBDawg601]

Gotta let that one bounce? I don?t care how explosive you are.

[DEDawg]

Yeah we are 100% looking to next week. Sloppy.

[MBDawg601]

Holy shit.

How can we look this unprepared. Surely they don?t think those 3 games means that they?ve made it?

[chef dixon]

Punter is predictable

[Thick]

Freaking punters!!!

[Dawgology]

Gotta let that one bounce? I don?t care how explosive you are.

Terrible. Not locked in at all. Just bad

[EdwardDrayton]

We are sucking a$$.

[msstate7]

That all started by a dumb decision to field a punt at the 5

[R2Dawg]

Well ole Jackie used to say, you can only get your guys up a handful of times a year. This is one of those downers.

[maroonmania]

Why is this Freshman guy punting?? Second time he has shanked one this year.

[The Federalist Engineer]

This team looks like Hammered Shit today

[maroonmania]

Well ole Jackie used to say, you can only get your guys up a handful of times a year. This is one of those downers.

Last week should have been the letdown game and was basically a bye week. No excuse not to be ready to play today.

[TrapGame]

They are looking ahead to next Saturday and need to get their heads in the game today.

[Bdawg]

Can we not just get the snap and punt the shit out of it? You got one job man. And get a punter and stick with it

[MBDawg601]

If we come out like this next week.. Tennessee may score 100.

Need our guys to wake the fk up and handle business.

[DEDawg]

Geez we look awful today. Goal now is to just claw a win out.

[R2Dawg]

We gonna lose in MSU fashion.

[maroonmania]

Looks like the old Hutzler D is back.

[DownwardDawg]

We're back!!!!!

[R2Dawg]

Last week should have been the letdown game and was basically a bye week. No excuse not to be ready to play today.

Our scout team could be Alcorn last week. No this week we had to come to play and we ain't

[R2Dawg]

Lebby can't afford to lose this game.

[MBDawg601]

Welp, gonna go re-watch the first half of Arizona state.

Wake up when our team does.

Before I go- if Booth keeps tip toe?n his ass around the line of scrimmage, bench his ass. Hit the fkn holes with some explosiveness.

[Ranchdawg]

I change my previous statement. They can beat us passing! Sad

[maroonmania]

Can't even line up right.

[Turfdawg67]

Good Lord it's 95 degrees out here and we look like dog sh*t. Picked a bad week to come to a game... and to quit sniffin' glue.

[R2Dawg]

Every call going against us today too. Two WR were lined up on LOS, that was not a penalty.

[R2Dawg]

The edges are open, we need speed to the edge.

[MBDawg601]

Sit Booth. Rotate Gayton and Brothwell.

Booth looks terrified.

[DEDawg]

I want to see pre snap motion, Bothwell handoffs, quick screens, and some deep shots. play calling is bizarre

[MBDawg601]

Okay. Let?s wake the 17 up. D has to get a stop.

[R2Dawg]

Students didn't show today and small crowd. Letdown on attendance too. We are all human.

[EdwardDrayton]

I want to see pre snap motion, Bothwell handoffs, quick screens, and some deep shots. play calling is bizarre

^^^^^^

[MBDawg601]

Special teams needs to be making LAPS at half time.

[maroonmania]

Only thing that doesn't stink about our kicking is the FG kicker.

[MBDawg601]

Lanier caught the worse part of Isaac bringing the wood.

Rough.

[R2Dawg]

Is Kelly Jones playing today? Haven't noticed #1 on field?

[Ranchdawg]

Stupid unbelievably stupid. Can not punt, can not kickoff, can not line up a formation on offense, can not learn to not block in the back. Geesh!

[R2Dawg]

D looked like they woke up that series.

[maroonmania]

Wow, must be nice to have a punter.

[MBDawg601]

Lol learned from his mistake, and they get a bounce.

Can?t make this shit up.

[maroonmania]

Takedown by the defender on our TE there.

[MBDawg601]

Hey we have a punter!!

[chef dixon]

Shapen can't seem to make a simple play

[R2Dawg]

O is not clean today at all. We have some matchup advantages but are not taking it enough. Every series some bad plays set us back.

[R2Dawg]

Takedown by the defender on our TE there.

It was but Shapen threw ball 20 yards OOB. Shapen ain't on today.

[maroonmania]

Our D is suckered by any misdirection.

[CaptainObvious]

Our defense looks like 5 year old soccer players all trying to chase the one with the ball! Shapen looks like Henig!

[DEDawg]

We REALLY do not want to be here today... I'll be happy with any win at this point.

[maroonmania]

We are making this offense look competent.

[Activated Alpha]

Yeah we ain?t stopping TN if we can?t stop NIU

[mparkerfd20]

Our DB sucks

[Dawgology]

Defense is running half speed and giving 10 yard cushions. Absolutely spent this week preparing for Tennessee and trying to play vanilla in this game. Pretty ridiculous

[MBDawg601]

Until today - one of the worst offenses in the country. Comes into Starkvegas and looks like 2013 Oregon.

Can?t even recover the football. What a piss poor effort.

[DEDawg]

wow. we needed that not sure how we didn't come up with it.

[maroonmania]

Pathetic. Fall right on the ball and somehow shoot it right to the opposing player.

[Dawgology]

wow. we needed that not sure how we didn't come up with it.

Half-assing the game is how that happens

[Bothrops]

You could feel it in the air today.

[Dawgology]

So much arm tackling. Just really playing patty cake out there

[chef dixon]

Just terrible tackling and pressure

[Bdawg]

They are doing a good job of keep away

[R2Dawg]

Need to score the next two possessions.

[R2Dawg]

You could feel it in the air today.

Yep and the fans could as well.

[Dawgology]

Still have a lot of questions about Hutzler

[MBDawg601]

I expect a pretty high amount of ass chewing at half time.

They better get it together, people are JUST NOW starting to notice us.

[parabrave]

Well I guess Leb wanted to really work on the Run Offense this half. Heck Shapen 6-11 for 35 yards so far

[Bdawg]

Score here then score out of the break! Let’s go!

[Ranchdawg]

Very sad! Some players do not need to get paid this weekend.

[CaptainObvious]

We REALLY do not want to be here today... I'll be happy with any win at this point.

Did anyone see any of our starters at The Sportsbook at Pearl River Resort last night??

Now I am serious. This looks like an offense trying throw a damn game! Sharon couldn't hit the oven standing on the beach!

[maroonmania]

Did we get a penalty???

[Bdawg]

Well I guess Leb wanted to really work on the Run Offense this half. Heck Shapen 6-11 for 35 yards so far

I’m afraid our OL ain’t got it to really push people around

[maroonmania]

Shapen is WAY off target today.

[Dawgology]

35 passing yards. This shits a joke

[DownwardDawg]

Our DB sucks

Today he does. He looks really bad today. The whole team looks slow.

[chef dixon]

Shapen has no playmaking ability. None

[R2Dawg]

Shapen not been good today at all.

[maroonmania]

Why did we not start at the 41????

[Bdawg]

My gosh we suck right now

[DownwardDawg]

Did we get a penalty???

I was wondering the same thing. That's not where we downed the blocked kick.

[Bdawg]

Shapen is WAY off target today.

Terrible

[Turfdawg67]

Yeah we ain?t stopping TN if we can?t stop NIU

Wait. We were so far in the "I Believe" stage that we thought we would stop UT. Lolz!!!! That MSU optimism is freaking amazing.

[Activated Alpha]

Not very crisp today

[maroonmania]

I was wondering the same thing. That's not where we downed the blocked kick.

Huge difference in field position. What the heck happened??

[mparkerfd20]

Worst coached and worst played game of year so far.

[maroonmania]

Most of our offensive plays today have been Shapen runs.

[maroonmania]

35 yards passing. :(

[Bothrops]

Still have a lot of questions about Hutzler

He still doesn't have any difference makers up front. Had one, now he's out. Next week, our lack of pass rush is going to bury us.

[Turfdawg67]

35 yards passing. :(

Tough to complete passes 10 yds beyond the receiver. Go back to the check down Shapen.

[CaptainObvious]

If and it is a HUGE IF, State wins this game we need to survive next week healthy for the rest of the season because Tennessee is going to shove our So-called improvement up our collective asses!!! Right now, based on this first half, this team will be lucky to win 1 SEC game! Lebby doesn't have these guys ready and after a 2-10 season, you have to be ready for Everybody!!!!!

[EdwardDrayton]

Not very crisp today

Understatedly he said.

[Ranchdawg]

No excuse, none! This is what happens when you have paid players that do not respect what has been given to them.

[MetEdDawg]

Throws have been there for Shapen. He's missed them all today.

We look like we've been prepping for Tennessee all week and didn't watch anything on NIU

[maroonmania]

Right now, based on this first half, this team will be lucky to win 1 SEC game! Lebby doesn't have these guys ready and after a 2-10 season, you have to be ready for Everybody!!!!!

IF we win today, I'm still not sure we win another game this year. Still will probably be an underdog in all remaining games this year.

[CaptainObvious]

If he is going to run the QB, then put the 3rd Teamer out there. At least he will out-run their guys.

Not having a coach with the balls to sit a starter for a couple of series to shake things up says a lot about Lebby! He'd rather he lose a game he's favors by 3 TDs than pull a starter who is sucking donkey'

[chef dixon]

I'm still curious about the punt block field position.

[Bothrops]

Throws have been there for Shapen. He's missed them all today.

We look like we've been prepping for Tennessee all week and didn't watch anything on NIU

Yup

[BravesDoggy]

Dang. All the drama queens jumping off the bandwagon. The team is flat. Look at the empty stands too. Now flip it over to scUM and look at all the red.

Our fanbase is so damn soft they are ready to jump off at the first sign of trouble.

[msstate7]

Just win the game. Were much improved from last season, but we're still a year away. Hopefully we can steal 2 sec games to get back bowling. Then let's improve the LOS in the offseason

[maroonmania]

Who's off the 'bandwagon'? But we look like crap today, not sure who can deny that.

[TopDawg]

I'm still curious about the punt block field position.

There was a 15 yard penalty for a block out of bounds

[R2Dawg]

35 yards passing. :(

If Shapen could hit an open WR would be bout 150

[Bothrops]

Dang. All the drama queens jumping off the bandwagon. The team is flat. Look at the empty stands too. Now flip it over to scUM and look at all the red.

Our fanbase is so damn soft they are ready to jump off at the first sign of trouble.

Ole Miss still has momentum going from last year. Both of their qbs are better than Shapen. That's not a knock on Shapen it's just a fact.

[maroonmania]

There was a 15 yard penalty for a block out of bounds

Figures, even though the ball wasn't even close to the boundary. I want the Big 12 officials back. SEC officials will call anything they can against us.

[R2Dawg]

Figures, even though the ball wasn't even close to the boundary. I want the Big 12 officials back. SEC officials will call anything they can against us.

Yep agree.

[msstate7]

Ole Miss still has momentum going from last year. Both of their qbs are better than Shapen. That's not a knock on Shapen it's just a fact.

Eh, maybe. They have a better supporting cast.

[Bothrops]

Eh, maybe. They have a better supporting cast.

Plus they have a disruptive DL.

[R2Dawg]

Horrible crowd, Alcorn was better?

[maroonmania]

SEC refs are garbage. That flag was thrown basically after the play was over.

[maroonmania]

Horrible crowd, Alcorn was better?

Having 4 home games in a row doesn't help. Lots of folks were going to have miss a game or two.

[BravesDoggy]

Shapen tells our “fans” to shove it with that dime

[maroonmania]

Nice opening drive. Fluff is a load.

[R2Dawg]

There they are.

[Bothrops]

Gotta love those halftime chats

[Ranchdawg]

Obviously somebody got some players attention during halftime.

[CaptainObvious]

Obviously somebody got some players attention during halftime.

Let's see if the defense got the half time message!

NOPE!

[Bothrops]

SEC refs are garbage. That flag was thrown basically after the play was over.

They just dont like us. Or Arkansas

[Dawgology]

They just dont like us. Or Arkansas

This. Take as old as time here. Been watching it happen for 30 years. Really just over it.

[DownwardDawg]

IF we win today, I'm still not sure we win another game this year. Still will probably be an underdog in all remaining games this year.

We're beating Arkansas and ole Miss. NIU has a defense much better than both of those two teams. And we won't be flat for either of those games like we are today.

[Dawgology]

Let's see if the defense got the half time message!

NOPE!

Tennessee is going to hang 60+ on us

[DownwardDawg]

Defense is trash right now.

[Dawgology]

We're beating Arkansas and ole Miss. NIU has a defense much better than both of those two teams. And we won't be flat for either of those games like we are today.

Doubt that very seriously. Would love to be wrong but both Ark and UM’s defense are way better than ours. Way better

[R2Dawg]

Doubt that very seriously. Would love to be wrong but both Ark and UM’s defense are way better than ours. Way better

Ark defense? Did you see them play today? Nah.

[R2Dawg]

You gotta play Taylor some more. He is a dude.

[R2Dawg]

This is just like 2009. Had Tyson Lee and Relf on bench. I'm afraid at some point Taylor got to get lot of snaps.

[maroonmania]

SEC refs ended this drive.

[BeardoMSU]

TN is going to titty **** us, lol.

[maroonmania]

SEC refs ended this drive.

Or maybe not

[Brobi-wan]

The gnashing of teeth while being on track to start 4-0 is wild after last year

[maroonmania]

Bothwell looks like Boobie out there.

[R2Dawg]

Bothwell just taking over this game.

[maroonmania]

Shapen takes forever to make a read.

[Bothrops]

Three of Booth's runs have been called back for holding!

[R2Dawg]

Penalties are killing us.

[BravesDoggy]

Sit 51 and 87s sorry asses at the far end of the bench

[R2Dawg]

The gnashing of teeth while being on track to start 4-0 is wild after last year

We ain't won yet.

[R2Dawg]

Sit 51 and 87s sorry asses at the far end of the bench

This game be out of reach without the penalties.

[CaptainObvious]

What did I say after we committed 10 penalties last week even with winning by 63? I said ya got to be more disciplined and clean up the damn penalties!

[Activated Alpha]

I sure hope that these refs don?t ref any of our games again. They are just zeroing in on our guys

[Brobi-wan]

We ain't won yet.

We will.

[BravesDoggy]

Tennessee is going to hang 60+ on us

Good grief. They didn?t do it last year and Nico?s nutsack is a better QB than Aguilar

[CaptainObvious]

Sit 51 and 87s sorry asses at the far end of the bench

And 51's guy was not going to get Booth! Stupid hold!

[Dawgology]

Honestly, they are 100% playing vanilla half-ass football because they’ve been prepping for TN all week. That is clear. Team is not locked in at all. Really stupid penalties

[maroonmania]

Undisciplined.

[R2Dawg]

We've just had our head up our ass all day. Amazing we are up as much as we are. Just ugly, ugly game.

[maroonmania]

We have to be one of the most penalized teams in the conference.

[R2Dawg]

I sure hope that these refs don?t ref any of our games again. They are just zeroing in on our guys

Yeah, how many they called on NIU? Not many.

[CaptainObvious]

These guys on defense have no discipline at all. They don't know where to line up. They can't cover air. They can't tackle air. Then they get pissed when they get beat and commit dumbass penalties like that one.

[Dawgology]

Good grief. They didn?t do it last year and Nico?s nutsack is a better QB than Aguilar

You’ve lost your mind. State is giving up 7.5 yards/pass and 4.7 yards/carry against one of the worst offenses in the nation right now.

[Bothrops]

Undisciplined.

And just getting whipped on effort.

[maroonmania]

If that's the replay that will stand as a stop. Looked to be just short of the 35.

[maroonmania]

Shapen processes WAY too slow to ever play in the NFL.

[maroonmania]

Best throw of the day right there!

[HoopsDawg]

Our Oline/backs are having a difficult time with the NIU stunts and twists.

[The Federalist Engineer]

The penalties and missed throws, about 21 points not scored

[DEDawg]

Let?s get one more TD with KT to cover and get rested for next week

[Coach34]

Good grief. They didn?t do it last year and Nico?s nutsack is a better QB than Aguilar

Aguilar is much better than Tico

[The Federalist Engineer]

Shapen processes WAY too slow to ever play in the NFL.

Definitely a collegiate QB

But definitely better than anybody in the 1990s for MSU. One 1990's guy was a true zero threat QB, no mobility, loopy passes, and no accuracy. Another was a 5 year Freshman, but won a few game. Another starter was basically a Delta State player in the SEC. One guy was only good with Eric Moulds playing. We fans thought that Jackie Sherrill was being blackmailed to start a particular guy.

[DownwardDawg]

Doubt that very seriously. Would love to be wrong but both Ark and UM?s defense are way better than ours. Way better

Holy shit. No way you've watched them play then. Especially Arkansas. They are worse than our last year defense.

[maroonmania]

He's probably one of the more accurate QB we've ever had, especially on the deep ball. But my word, it takes him forever to go through his reads.

[mparkerfd20]

Sloppy at times and still up 4 TDs.... I won't complain anymore.

[DownwardDawg]

Aguilar is much better than Tico

Much better!!!! It's not even close.

[HoopsDawg]

Sloppy at times and still up 4 TDs.... I won't complain anymore.

It?s a good win

[The Federalist Engineer]

He's probably one of the more accurate QB we've ever had, especially on the deep ball. But my word, it takes him forever to go through his reads.

I wonder if the issue is that he wants to make the huge play versus the check down. In the SEC games, gonna need to process faster or be sacked.

[Bdawg]

These penalties are a major concern. Is this double digit penalties for all 4 games now? This is becoming bad trend. Shows lack of discipline and are drive killers for us offensively and drive sustainers for the opponent. This stats needs to change going forward

[DEDawg]

Looked awful and still covered

[DEDawg]

Also I guess KT has passed LK as the backup?

[Bdawg]

Also I guess KT has passed LK as the backup?

Will have to portal for 2 more QBs next year I guess. Would Luke stay?

[DownwardDawg]

You’ve lost your mind. State is giving up 7.5 yards/pass and 4.7 yards/carry against one of the worst offenses in the nation right now.

We were extremely flat today. Perfect trap game and we looked like shit. Yet we still covered!! We're a pretty good football team.

[msstate7]

I wouldn't say I feel good about next week, but I feel better after that 2nd half

[The Federalist Engineer]

Will have to portal for 2 more QBs next year I guess. Would Luke stay?

No, but who cares, that's the new way.

He can go to LSU and say that VB would be 3rd string at MSU, why not get the 2nd string?

[The Federalist Engineer]

I wouldn't say I feel good about next week, but I feel better after that 2nd half

UTK will be favored by 15 or so.

But 4-0 means the team is on schedule to bowl. Just let her rip next week.

[mparkerfd20]

These penalties are a major concern. Is this double digit penalties for all 4 games now? This is becoming bad trend. Shows lack of discipline and are drive killers for us offensively and drive sustainers for the opponent. This stats needs to change going forward

Believe it or not it's only the 2. We had only 6 vs Arizona State, 11 today, 10 last week and 8 vs USM.

[Thick]

This is a good win for us. NI is a physical team on both sides of the ball, and we ran for 200. I?m with several of you that say he?s slow on the reads.

[parabrave]

Well we wanted to work on the run and short game and we did.

[MBDawg601]

Sloppy and still covered. Can?t complain THAT much.

[CaptainObvious]

Fix the defense, and cut the stupid penalties between Sunday and Friday and you got a chance next Saturday!

[DownwardDawg]

Well we wanted to work on the run and short game and we did.

Yes. Good win in a trap game. Got some good work in but have a LOT to clean up!!!

[Mjoelner34]

If Shapen could hit an open WR would be bout 150

Mosely caught the worst pass of the day. That ball was going way out of bounds when he snagged it down toward the SE corner of the field. On the first deep ball to Mosely, Shapen threw a go and right when he let go, Mosely ran a post. Just miscommunication between the 2 reading the DB. On the 2nd deep one that was overthrown, a go, Mosely let up in his route then kicked it back in to gear after he saw the ball in the air. That one is 100% on him.

[CaptainObvious]

I don't think KT has moved ahead of LK. I think LK is number 2 and more important to be saved for conference games in case we need him for longer periods in tight games. This was literally mop up duty.

[HoopsDawg]

UTK will be favored by 15 or so.

But 4-0 means the team is on schedule to bowl. Just let her rip next week.

It?s 9.5

[BravesDoggy]

It?s 9.5

They can’t help but make our opponents natty contenders and call us dog shit.

[Bdawg]

Believe it or not it's only the 2. We had only 6 vs Arizona State, 11 today, 10 last week and 8 vs USM.

I thought asu may been the exception but either way, it has to be cleaned up going forward. Holding is a damn killer.

[Bothrops]

Players that we really need to hold on to next year.

Offense - Taylor, Fluff, Gayten, Evans lll, Davis, J Lewis. J James, Owens

Defense - I Smith, Kelley Jones, J Smith

[Bdawg]

It?s 9.5

Gotta be honest, that seems low. Wish it was a night game! And unless NIU is more physical than I give them credit for(and I hope they are) TN could really have there way with us up front.
