Very complimentary of not only the game, but of the atmosphere. Said that we turned Davis Wade into a minature Death Valley that night. Also said the rest of the SEC could learn from us and how we didn't rush the field after the win.
They earned more kudos at game's end. Despite winning the biggest regular-season game in school history, despite taking down the defending SEC champions, despite making a statement that they deserved to be the No. 1 team in the nation for the first time, they acted like they'd been there before.
Unlike their equally giddy and rightfully so neighbors at that school up north after Ole Miss beat Alabama the week before, they didn't storm the field and take down the goalposts. They kept their heads and kept their seats.
That's a tribute to the State fans and to the school's security, and it was a lesson to the rest of the SEC and to college football fans from coast to coast.
