[I seen it dawg]

51-17 State

No letdown today. Punishing.

[TStationDawg]

51-17 State

No letdown today. Punishing.

I want to see some pride out of our D in this one.

[gravedigger]

48-10. Halftime 31-0

[I seen it dawg]

Bump. Let's play solid today and get out of here clean.

[starkvegasdawg]

Not the offensive start I wanted. A drop by bear and a third down stuff.

[GreenheadDawg]

Well a 3 and out was not a good way to start

[msstate7]

Really? Offense, you guys need to step it back up

[ShotgunDawg]

DeRunnya has been dropping balls lately, and Love can't catch. Brutal

[Irondawg]

And then a easy int drop and injury to love on next play. Not a good start

[starkvegasdawg]

Getting pissed now.

[ShotgunDawg]

Brutal. Unreal

[msstate7]

We can spin it all we want. We haven't done jack since auburn

[ShotgunDawg]

Why can't our secondary tackle?

[Irondawg]

I'm going to watch our safeties very close today. So far a bad tackle by cox and a good tackle by Hughes and then another missed tackle by cox. You could argue that Hughes could have been in better position to pick off a floating deep ball but no idea where he started

[ShotgunDawg]

We can spin it all we want. We haven't done jack since auburn

We haven't had to. Even if we had blown those guys out, we wouldn't have done anything

[msstate7]

Open receiver with no pressure on qb there. This is pathetic

[Crystal Balls]

Guys if you could, keep the updates coming. Im away from tv and radio. Checking this thread when I can.

[starkvegasdawg]

Ok. We got the stop. That's the main thing. Now it's time for Dak to act like he's a Heisman candidate.

[ShotgunDawg]

Ok. We got the stop. That's the main thing. Now it's time for Dak to act like he's a Heisman candidate.

And for our receivers to catch the ball

[Coach34]

Time to get serious and go 97 yards.

[MarketingBully01]

51-17 State

No letdown today. Punishing.

This is shit. We better get our head out of our ass. No reason this shouldn't be 7-0. If we play like this next weekend, we get our asses thumped. So far, have not seen players held out like C34 predicted either.

[starkvegasdawg]

And for our receivers to catch the ball

Indeed.

[ShotgunDawg]

Is Martin Short today's referee?

[starkvegasdawg]

Big third down conversion.

[starkvegasdawg]

Now this is what I want to see.

[msstate7]

Dak looks good moving

[ShotgunDawg]

Dak looked explosive right there. He doesn't appear injured or sore

[CadaverDawg]

Our receivers can't get separation against UT Martin? Shakin my Damn Head

[Irondawg]

Seems like our wr simply can't get seperation

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm glad Dak is targeting Wilson, those two need to get their mojo back together

[starkvegasdawg]

Good run by bowling ball. Now go pick up the spare.

[ShotgunDawg]

I hate these types of games. I hate caring about how we play, I just want to care about winning

[CadaverDawg]

Dak just got drilled

[Irondawg]

Was 29 not holding bear on that one?

[ShotgunDawg]

Was 29 not holding bear on that one?

i thought so

[CadaverDawg]

Haha

[ShotgunDawg]

They had a guy in our backfield when we snapped the ball. Freezus

[cheewgumm]

Malone is hurt?

[Irondawg]

How did we screw up a trick play??

[ShotgunDawg]

What?

[ShotgunDawg]

Awful, Hill couldn't line up correctly

[CadaverDawg]

We look like we're just playing back yard ball.

[msstate7]

Dak's accuracy has been terrible since lately

[starkvegasdawg]

And we lead.

[CadaverDawg]

Good deal. TD

[ShotgunDawg]

Dak got mashed on that TD pass

[MarketingBully01]

They are also taking shots at Dak too...this start does concern me...

[ShotgunDawg]

Dak's accuracy has been terrible since lately

Dude, what are you talking about?

Most QB's accuracy does suffer when they are throwing a jump pass. Plus that ball hit Brown right in the numbers. Are watching the game?

[HoopsDawg]

We are the no. 1 team in the country, BUT our O-line is mediocre. I'm sorry but it is. UGA's O-line is much better.

[MarketingBully01]

We need to get up 28-35 points here so Dak can come out. They are making sure to take as many shots they can on Dak. Our OL needs to do a better job stat....this play is embarassing.

[CadaverDawg]

Dak would be getting hit less if he ran the ball it feels like. He is getting drilled on every pass. Someone needs to grab these linemen by the facemask and tell them to protect their ****ing QB.

[msstate7]

Dude, what are you talking about?

Dak isn't as accurate as he was a few weeks ago. Don't know if his ankle is affecting it or what, but he's not as accurate

[ShotgunDawg]

Mike Herndon ‏@TheMikeHerndon 23s24 seconds ago
Miss St CB: RT “@MikeBBonner: Will Redmond has been suspended for one game due to a violation of team rules.”

oh well, at least it's the correct game. Was probably decided long ago. Maybe Bracky got pissed at him again

[CadaverDawg]

In other news....how much better do these uniforms look without the big stripe on the helmet?

[codeDawg]

This is what the receivers are up against on every play. The refs are letting them get away with it. I guess they feel sorry for them.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/ggEbYcxP4e-5-zh_gmOIfhPO08bs6eHfOsZHpKiNMNtfdsytTtvjhELdSfX8aWq tYNwVEKfRQj6HIrtqDKeJXeGlxkWkV1cq=w1416-h627

[ShotgunDawg]

Dak isn't as accurate as he was a few weeks ago. Don't know if his ankle is affecting it or what, but he's not as accurate

I think he is, but we are just over analyzing it due to who we are playing. He's been very accurate when he throws with his feet under him

[HoopsDawg]

Redmond, Tubby, and Malone all sitting out for various reasons.

[ShotgunDawg]

Redmond, Tubby, and Malone all sitting out for various reasons.

Hopefully, this means Redmond watched Amari Cooper film all week.

[starkvegasdawg]

This sucks. Flipping between our game and the auburn game and the unis for both teams are identical. Getting screwed up on which game I'm watching.

[CadaverDawg]

A&M 21-14

[ShotgunDawg]

Come on Benadrick. Don't over pursue the play

[CadaverDawg]

DL getting pushed around by the clowns

[ShotgunDawg]

Looks to me like we may have spent the week preparing for Alabama

[Air of The Dawg]

Dak would be getting hit less if he ran the ball it feels like. He is getting drilled on every pass. Someone needs to grab these linemen by the facemask and tell them to protect their ****ing QB.

That should be priority !

[msstate7]

Come on d! I'm sick of these guys getting first downs on us

[CadaverDawg]

What the ****?

[ShotgunDawg]

For goodness sakes, this is pathetic defense.

[msstate7]

Looks to me like we may have spent the week preparing for Alabama

Looks to me like we've spent way too much enjoying interviews and such. Soak it up boys. You're going down next week if you don't start doing what got you to #1

[ShotgunDawg]

1B

[MarketingBully01]

What the ****?

Totally pathetic....

[codeDawg]

Looks to me like we may have spent the week preparing for Alabama

or hanging out at Ricks getting pats on the back

[ShotgunDawg]

Looks to me like we've spent way too much enjoying interviews and such. Soak it up boys. You're going down next week if you don't start doing what got you to #1

Well, Ole Miss did almost lose to Memphis and then beat Bama the next week. I wouldn't worry about how we play in this game.

[smootness]

1B

Our redshirting freshmen should shut these guys down.

[CadaverDawg]

Here we are, needing to rest Dak, and we come out flat and will have to keep him in just to win the damn game. We're supposed to think this is just us relaxing against weaker opponents, but I see a trend. 3 games in a row we've played like shit. We come out like this next week for even 5 minutes, and it will be over.

[HoopsDawg]

This sucks. Flipping between our game and the auburn game and the unis for both teams are identical. Getting screwed up on which game I'm watching.

Our all Maroon uni's are hideous. I will be so glad when the shoulder stripe is gone next year and we get back to our normal maroon color. (hopefully)

[msstate7]

Well, Ole Miss did almost lose to Memphis and then beat Bama the next week. I wouldn't worry about how we play in this game.

It's the 3-game trend that's worrying me

[HoopsDawg]

Our redshirting freshmen should shut these guys down.

I think Market has struggled all year.

[ShotgunDawg]

Here we are, needing to rest Dak, and we come out flat and will have to keep him in just to win the damn game. We're supposed to think this is just us relaxing against weaker opponents, but I see a trend. 3 games in a row we've played like shit. We come out like this next week for even 5 minutes, and it will be over.

But, we won't come out like this next week. you know that

[ShotgunDawg]

It's the 3-game trend that's worrying me

We really didn't play great in the first 3 games before beating LSU either. South Alabama made a field goal and dropped a deep pass at the beginning of that game

[CadaverDawg]

But, we won't come out like this next week. you know that

Do I? Do we remember how to come out fired up? We haven't done it in 4 weeks

[Maroonthirteen]

I dread next week. We are sloppy as 17

[codeDawg]

Wow. We're getting stops. I wonder what happened. Oh, yeah. We put in the guys that actually play worth a shit. #1a

[CadaverDawg]

Glad to see Love back in there. Need him healthy

[msstate7]

Wow. We're getting stops. I wonder what happened. Oh, yeah. We put in the guys that actually play worth a shit. #1a
This drive got started by BM being sloppy

[ShotgunDawg]

BTW, Notre Dame is down 31-3, wouldn't surprise me to see FSU drop this week. They've beaten no one with a pulse

[defiantdog]

We really miss Redmond on defense

[codeDawg]

We need to just throw at #1 as many times as we can. He needs to learn how to fight.

[HoopsDawg]

We really miss Redmond on defense

LOL, yeah, but they got all of their yardage on a run vs the 1B's.

[CadaverDawg]

Here comes a shitty kick return

[CadaverDawg]

Here comes a shitty kick return

Shocker

[ShotgunDawg]

Why do Johnson and Holloway return kick-off again?

[codeDawg]

Did the whole damn team go out drinking with little Favre last night?

[MarketingBully01]

Just absolute shit this game. We didn't prepare a game plan at all for these guys. 7-3 in the first? We need something to spark us. We need to start clicking. You don't just get out of a funk because you play a hard team. You get out of a funk because your leaders whip the other players asses. We need Dak to get these guys in gear!

[codeDawg]

Uncalled facemask.

[ShotgunDawg]

That was a shit play

[CadaverDawg]

Man we either struggle way too hard to get open...or Dak is timid. He didn't hold the ball so long in our first 6 games

[CadaverDawg]

How embarrassing

[HoopsDawg]

Oh my gosh Mullen, I hate that play call.

[msstate7]

Man we either struggle way too hard to get open...or Dak is timid. He didn't hold the ball so long in our first 6 games

Bc we've become a passing team.

[thunderclap]

For whatever reason, Bear has regressed.

[ShotgunDawg]

One thing I've learned about MSU football. WE REALLY SUCK AT BLOWING PEOPLE OUT.

We've gotten better at winning games, but we suck at blowing people out

[Irondawg]

We look pretty terrible across the board.

[GreenheadDawg]

I'm following the game on espn app and all I say is pass incomplete to Derunnya Wilson about 5 times.. What the hell is going on between those 2

[CadaverDawg]

Dak can't get 3 seconds without getting hit. Our team needs to have their asses chewed. This shit is awful.

This is why it's so hard to be a State fan...even during the best times ever, you have to worry about playing like shit against a Division 2 opponent.

[MarketingBully01]

Man we either struggle way too hard to get open...or Dak is timid. He didn't hold the ball so long in our first 6 games

Dak is timid. We have guys wide open all over the field.

[ShotgunDawg]

Bc we've become a passing team.

This, but it could a situation where Dan is trying to show Bama something on film. Bama is really good at stopping the run, so Dan wants to pass to make Bama respect it

[starkvegasdawg]

Can we get Musberger a sorority girl? I'm tired of listening to him.

[ShotgunDawg]

Texas A&M may take Auburn to the woodshed

[starkvegasdawg]

Damn right, Dak.

[CadaverDawg]

That helps

[ShotgunDawg]

Like I said, he ain't hurt fellas

Actually, I didn't say that. I created a thread questioning it

[thedawg]

If your being a whiney little bitch... Stop it.... At the end of the day we will be 9-0 and ranked #1in the nation

[MarketingBully01]

That is the Dak we all know and love. Dan has ****ed him this year....

[ShotgunDawg]

With all the bitching we have right now, that's the greatest thing any of us could have seen today. DAK IS HEALTHY

[HoopsDawg]

Can we get Musberger a sorority girl? I'm tired of listening to him.

Musberger is over-reacting more than this message board. We have 2 TD's on 3 possessions. Our 1B gave up points, big surprise. And our O-line is mediocre. It just is. Fortunately, our scheme+Dak+Jrob allows us to still move the ball.

[David Luiz's Afro]

**** Musburger.

[HoopsDawg]

Texas A&M may take Auburn to the woodshed

AU ain't going to be able to beat Bama without Duke Williams.

[smootness]

This, but it could a situation where Dan is trying to show Bama something on film. Bama is really good at stopping the run, so Dan wants to pass to make Bama respect it

We'll, then that's stupid. Our passing isn't going to make them respect anything right now.

[msstate7]

Auburn losing Williams hurt us imo. We needed auburn to beat bama as worst case scenario

[smootness]

With all the bitching we have right now, that's the greatest thing any of us could have seen today. DAK IS HEALTHY

I agree with this. His explosiveness looks to be fully back. He'll definitely be good for next week assuming everything goes well in this one.

[msstate7]

AU ain't going to be able to beat Bama without Duke Williams.

Just what I was thinking. If bama beats lsu, sec west championship next week

[CadaverDawg]

I think Auburn saw how everyone else was spanking A&M, so they thought they could just show up.

[MarketingBully01]

If your being a whiney little bitch... Stop it.... At the end of the day we will be 9-0 and ranked #1in the nation

Yes but playing like shit and barely winning games the last three weeks does not bode confidence at all. If Dak would just do what he just did when plays break down instead of getting sacked or throwing interceptions, we would have blown out Arkansas. Dan has instructed him to stay in the pocket but that is not Dak's game. He needs to release the Dakken so to speak...

[thedawg]

He will release him against Alabama

[ShotgunDawg]

We stopped them there but whoever made the tackles fell backwards with the the ball carrier

[HoopsDawg]

Deontay Evans looks like a RB/LB trying to play Safety.

[msstate7]

They're kicking our defense's ass

[ShotgunDawg]

Richie Brown looked lost on that draw play

[HoopsDawg]

1b's are doing what they do. Someone tell Virges to get low and get some leverage.

[CadaverDawg]

Our defense against their running game....

http://homesanctuary.typepad.com/rachelanne/images/2008/03/25/istock_000005445187xsmall.jpg

[msstate7]

Every tackler is going backwards

[CadaverDawg]

Wake the **** up, Geoff. They're gonna burn you 50 times on the draw before you adjust?

[ShotgunDawg]

1B just sucks all the way around. All they do is slow the offense down, sometimes

[smootness]

We stopped them there but whoever made the tackles fell backwards with the the ball carrier

Yup. Looked like Chris Jones. Awful.

[ShotgunDawg]

Thee we go

[ShotgunDawg]

BTW, great crowd today for a shit game

[HoopsDawg]

Thee we go

Thank you UTmartin for throwing it. David Turner said Ryan Brown is going to play 10 years in the NFL. By the way, Richie has struggled since A&M.

[ShotgunDawg]

LOL

SixPackSpeak ‏@sixpackspeak 10s10 seconds ago
Jamoral Graham catches the punt on the sidelines and his teammates applaud him. That's good stuff.

[ShotgunDawg]

What has happened to our running game?

[CadaverDawg]

I just do not understand what we're doing. We can play vanilla and still look crisp. This shit is gross

[smootness]

What a complete joke. This is embarrassing.

[ShotgunDawg]

Mullen will have to let Dak run the ball endlessly if we have a chance to win at Bama

[msstate7]

Mullen will have to let Dak run the ball endlessly if we have a chance to win at Bama

Or jrob. Too bad we pass 80% of the time now

[HoopsDawg]

What has happened to our running game?

We don't have a running game without Dak. We just don't. Dak opens things up for J-Rob. Our O-line is not good enough to just hand the ball off to a RB and get 5 years. See Tyler Russell's career.

[ShotgunDawg]

Some people think Auburn is the best team in the country and they've looked like crap for three straight weeks. It ain't easy fellas

[smootness]

Let me clarify. It's not embarrassing that we're not playing well. It's embarrassing that not a single player seems to care and our coach is calling a horrific game. It's clear Mullen doesn't care about this game, and that isn't a good message to send to your team.

[MarketingBully01]

Looks like we decided to play Johnny Grabass today.

[Irondawg]

Our oline looks like I was scared it was going to look all season. We have zero bounce in our step right now

[msstate7]

We are a really good team when we come to play. When we don't play with max effort, we're a mediocre team

[ShotgunDawg]

I thought everyone was just worried about Bama?

[codeDawg]

Or jrob. Too bad we pass 80% of the time now

You have to think the idea is to work on the stuff we have problems with. We know we can run Dak and JRob. We know we can bring the heat. Can we pass from the pocket and run zone coverage.

[ShotgunDawg]

We are a really good team when we come to play. When we don't play with max effort, we're a mediocre team

Is there a team in the country that can give a half effort and still be good?

[smootness]

You have to think the idea is to work on the stuff we have problems with. We know we can run Dak and JRob. We know we can bring the heat. Can we pass from the pocket and run zone coverage.

I wish we would work on playing clean and crisp against a weak opponent. Because we're not good at that, either.

[Lloyd Christmas]

I'm pretty embarrassed by this effort.

[HoopsDawg]

Our oline looks like I was scared it was going to look all season. We have zero bounce in our step right now

Yep, there's a dropoff from Malone to Desper right now. And Senior will tell you himself he needs to get stronger.

[codeDawg]

I wish we would work on playing clean and crisp against a weak opponent. Because we're not good at that, either.

My other theory is that these games let Mullen jack around and scratch his dumb ass play call itch so he doesn't do it against Bama.

[HoopsDawg]

We are a really good team when we come to play. When we don't play with max effort, we're a mediocre team

That's right. We don't have the talent level to just show up and out-talent people like FSU last year.

[ShotgunDawg]

Good defensive call

[codeDawg]

Yep, there's a dropoff from Malone to Desper right now. And Senior will tell you himself he needs to get stronger.

Senior looked awful against UPig, but that is probably the best D Line we'll play this year.

[ShotgunDawg]

Absolutely retarded and selfish. Just flat selfish

[HoopsDawg]

LOL at our Return Units.

[msstate7]

LOL at our Return Units.

It's embarrassing. Donald gray hopefully fixes it

[ShotgunDawg]

Oh crap, we just scored with Holloway between the tackles, that means Dan will try again.

[smootness]

These are Holloway's kind of games.

[ShotgunDawg]

Damien Williams time?

[smootness]

Damien Williams time?

For me, yes. Don't press your luck.

[msstate7]

Anyone remember Perkins killing OM his freshman year with screens? I'd like to see holloway get some of those type plays. If you can get him in space, he can fly

[HoopsDawg]

Damien Williams time?

I'd like to see Dak hook up with Ross on a deep ball to end the half and then let Damien play the whole 2nd half.

[ShotgunDawg]

Looks like our defense may have figured this stuff out

[HoopsDawg]

Adams will probably be starting at DT next year next to CJ.

[ShotgunDawg]

I think Dak get the entire 1st half

[ShotgunDawg]

Our receivers aren't making the tough catches

[codeDawg]

Oh crap, we just scored with Holloway between the tackles, that means Dan will try again.

Like I said earlier. Hopefully, he's just scratching an itch.

[CadaverDawg]

BLOCK!!

[ShotgunDawg]

Damn, Fred Ross has a chance to be good

[CadaverDawg]

Holloway would be a good player in that Ohio Valley Conference.

[ShotgunDawg]

Holloway is pretty good against people his own size

[codeDawg]

Looks like our defense may have figured this stuff out

They put in the right personnel and called something besides vanilla 2 deep.

[CadaverDawg]

It would be awesome if everybody lost 2+ games is year in the SEC, except us...and we went 12-0

[codeDawg]

Holloway is pretty good against people his own size

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.

[CadaverDawg]

Great play call, Danno. **

We're 0-13 on 3rd and short when calling the "Dak tip toe right" play call.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

The QB power run play we always run in short yardage situations has simply stopped working. We run it every time

[ShotgunDawg]

Horrendous effort

[ShotgunDawg]

LOL.

[HoopsDawg]

Almost 3 empty possessions in the first half with our 1st string offense. Dan, never run that fake against an SEC team.

[CadaverDawg]

Good run, Shump

[HoopsDawg]

Quit Running DAK!!!!!

[GreenheadDawg]

Jesus Christ. I'm livid right now. This is ****ing ridiculous

[ShotgunDawg]

Why?

[ShotgunDawg]

Did our offensive line take the day off? These guys aren't doing shit

[CadaverDawg]

Our play calling can be "What the absolute ****?" At times

[HoopsDawg]

Sobes is money from inside 30.

[ShotgunDawg]

At least Sobes get to gain more confidence. That's good

[codeDawg]

The QB power run play we always run in short yardage situations has simply stopped working. We run it every time

We're not running it out of the 5-wide formation. It doesn't work when we crowd the line.

[smootness]

Jesus Christ. I'm livid right now. This is ****ing ridiculous

I have to agree. Mullen is basically saying, 'Eh, who gives a crap.'

[CadaverDawg]

Jesus Christ. I'm livid right now. This is ****ing ridiculous

Chill, bro

[CadaverDawg]

UT Martin in one return, has more yards than we've had on our returns combined all season.

[CadaverDawg]

Brent Musberger is absolute puke

[ShotgunDawg]

Mullen is saying the right things. I like it.

[Sacrifice]

Our O-line is gettin whipped by UT freakin Martin. WHAT..THE ..HELL???

[ShotgunDawg]

We're up 24-3 in a game we didn't care about, so why do we care?

[codeDawg]

Mullen's about to go rip the o-line a new one.

[msstate7]

Mullen is saying the right things. I like it.

He's been saying that 3 weeks. The team isn't responding.

[HoopsDawg]

Jacksonville State beat this team 38-14. I would like to see us get in the I-formation and tell our Linemen to man up.

[Crystal Balls]

What is the score?

[msstate7]

Jacksonville State beat this team 38-14. I would like to see us get in the I-formation and tell our Linemen to man up.

Kentucky beat em 59-14

[thunderclap]

Some teams play to the level of their competition. We are one of those teams.

[CadaverDawg]

What is the score?

24-3 at half

[smootness]

He's been saying that 3 weeks. The team isn't responding.

No he hasn't.

[MarketingBully01]

Kentucky was up 35-0 at the half on this team but Favre didn't start at that time and he was the one who lead them to their two TDs so there's that. With that said, we need to get out of this funk and start executing and start giving a shit. We need our leaders to lead.

[cheewgumm]

It's meaningless. We play Bama in 7 days in Tuscaloosa. We
Can win this game by 1 and that game by 1 and be unanimous #1.

Don’t know if Mississippi St is going to win it all, but they are the only team that has shown up every week with very little drama.

[CadaverDawg]

Mullen is just making it tougher on himself. If we come out looking like shit next week, everyone will be talking about how he dropped the ball and let us lose our momentum over the last few weeks against shit teams. But hey, if he's cool with that, and we can still go out and beat Bama...just win

Yup, sometimes, us fans miss the forest for the trees because because we get so into the details of MSU football. The truth is that we are fine compared to literally everyone else

This is why the media isn't really "for" us. We're pretty boring. We might let some easy games get mildly interesting, but mostly we just win. They love UM because of all the drama. I got really sick of hearing about how good a 2 loss UM is today.

THEY LOST 2 GAMES. THEY DIDN'T WIN THEM. THAT IS NOT THE SAME AS WINNING. Give them a participation trophy for playing hard. Mark it up in the moral victory ledger, but the margin between winning and losing is a lot bigger than most people think.

[HoopsDawg]

Yup, sometimes, us fans miss the forest for the trees because because we get so into the details of MSU football. The truth is that we are fine compared to literally everyone else

If you watch our O-line this game and you aren't at least a little concerned facing that Bama D-line next week then I don't know what to tell you.

[CadaverDawg]

What if Auburn loses today, Bama loses tonight, OM loses to Ark, Auburn beats Bama, we lose to Bama and OM, and we win the SEC in a two way tie with LSU due to our head to head over them? To think that is actually possible, is crazy to me. Weird year

[msstate7]

Yup, sometimes, us fans miss the forest for the trees because because we get so into the details of MSU football. The truth is that we are fine compared to literally everyone else

I know I've been very critical of our last few performances, but I just want us to keep that edge. This team is good enough to destroy kentucky and ut Martin and that's what I expect

[maroonmania]

Some teams play to the level of their competition. We are one of those teams.

Look, it should be pretty obvious that when we don't play with full intensity we are just a slightly above average college football team. Don't want to get into recruiting stars but we don't have guys that can go through the motions and blow the doors off anyone. We just aren't THAT talented.

If you watch our O-line this game and you aren't at least a little concerned facing that Bama D-line next week then I don't know what to tell you.

Agree.

While I somewhat agree....I also know that Desper is starting, Beckwith is out of position, Malone is out, and we're probably not ultra hyped up for UTM. Plus, I can remember what we did to LSU when it mattered

[codeDawg]

What if Auburn loses today, Bama loses tonight, OM loses to Ark, Auburn beats Bama, we lose to Bama and OM, and we win the SEC in a two way tie with LSU due to our head to head over them? To think that is actually possible, is crazy to me. Weird year

2014 is the new 1998.

Mullen is just making it tougher on himself. If we come out looking like shit next week, everyone will be talking about how he dropped the ball and let us lose our momentum over the last few weeks against shit teams. But hey, if he's cool with that, and we can still go out and beat Bama...just win

Hey, I agree just win but is it humanly possible to play like shit and then not play like shit. Two of our next three games are against good to great teams. Can you just play like shit and then turn in a great performance? Playing like shit one or two times is acceptable IMO but three weeks in a row is a pattern and it doesn't look like Dan has fixed anything under the guise of we just make plays to win the game. Well then we reward the guy who saved our butts last week with a suspension this week...can we put it all together against Alabama? After our play the last month I just don't know. Dak needs to lead this team and get them in shape for next week. We will find out as a team what we are next week.

[CadaverDawg]

I know I've been very critical of our last few performances, but I just want us to keep that edge. This team is good enough to destroy kentucky and ut Martin and that's what I expect

Yea, I'm usually that way too. But since we came out like shit today...let's just prevent injuries, get the win, and hope like hell we come out like gang busters next Saturday.

I absolutely am, but if our o-line played great today, I'm not sure that would make me feel any better. Also have the knowledge that our o-line dominated Auburn, LSU, and Texas A&M, so I know what we are capable of and that's what I expect next week.

Check out Auburn's score right now if you want to see the difference

Against Bama, we need to play about 15 guys on defense, maybe 16, but that is it. If we only play our top 16 we should be ok defensively.

Offensively, Dak is probably going to carry the ball 18-22 times. He carried it 22 times vs LSU. J-Rob will get 15 carries. We will need to stay ahead of the sticks on 1st down and convert on 3rd downs. Its going to take our most complete game of the year to pull out a win in Tuscaloosa.

[msstate7]

Come on dawgs... Finish this drive and get dak out of there on a good note

Forgot they get ball first

[CadaverDawg]

Please retire, Musberger.

[CadaverDawg]

Our DL should be ashamed

[CadaverDawg]

I'd just like to say, we have a very good "bend but don't break defense". That being said, there is absolutely NOTHING "psychotic" about our defense.

[msstate7]

Our DL should be ashamed

I'm embarrassed that we've given up more rushing yards to them than lsu

[ShotgunDawg]

OH MY

[msstate7]

I'd just like to say, we have a very good "bend but don't break defense". That being said, there is absolutely NOTHING "psychotic" about our defense.

It makes me psycho

[ShotgunDawg]

SMOKEY!!!

[CadaverDawg]

Musberger needs to go change his diapers and call it a day. Him bashing Graham is a little uncalled for on TV.

[ShotgunDawg]

I'd just like to say, we have a very good "bend but don't break defense". That being said, there is absolutely NOTHING "psychotic" about our defense.

Very much agree.

Instead of "psycho defense" it would make much more sense to name our defense "The Strategically Sound Unit". This would place the expectations in the proper place

[CadaverDawg]

I wish Shumpert could get more carries here instead of Holloway. Wasting reps by giving them to Holloway IMO.

[CadaverDawg]

Dak needs to check down to Holloway there, he was wide open in the flat

[ShotgunDawg]

Desper played better against A&M than today

[Sacrifice]

Man I love Dak as much as anybody but he struggles with his deep throws.

[CadaverDawg]

Nice! And Joe Morrow is sighted!

[ShotgunDawg]

Dak's playing pretty well. That ball had some steam on it. I feel good about him going into Bama. Dak's ready!

[Sacrifice]

Haha never mind..

[msstate7]

Good throw. Good catch. Ready to get dak out

[ShotgunDawg]

Dak's healthy, has found some rhythm, and is looking good. We ready

[CadaverDawg]

Man I love Dak as much as anybody but he struggles with his deep throws.

Ha, oops

[PMDawg]

Good for you Morrow. Really glad for him. He seems to have worked hard and never complained thru all his struggles.

I agree

Wyatt really likes morrow's blocking. He might step into johnsons role next year
