Better strap it up today. The cocks believe they can come in here and win.

Dang, I seen it, starting awful early. This thread will have 30 pages by game time.
And by the way the Cocks are cocks.

[scottycameron]

We are favored big for a reason. I rematched the USC Vandy cluster. Both made us look like an offensive juggernaut. I don't see how USC scores an offensive TD. They have a heck of a kicker though. Put up a couple of touchdowns and it's over.

[lamont]

They dont have many weapons on offense- but our CB's arent in Vandy's league. We have to avoid turnovers that give them short fields. 20 points should win this week

We are only a 6 1/2 point fav

They have Edwards (freshman wr). Our cb's have to do a good job vs him

Vegas insiders doesn't show a line below 7.5. Some have 8

[LC Dawg]

I like the early game thread. I can see a few posts before I get to campus and have no service the rest of the day. You guys on the thread have fun today and keep all posts positive as always.**

[ShotgunDawg]

What an awful afternoon of football. I'm desperately trying to find a game that isn't a blow out & I can't.

It's extremely stupid that college football goes all in to have the biggest opening weekend in history only to have a complete shit burger in the 2nd week.

Why not spread it out?

[ShotgunDawg]

No suspensions this week. David Murray just confirmed

[ShotgunDawg]

Mullen is wearing Khakis today

[lastmajordog]

I feel like I”m fixing to watch a suspense movie instead of a football game. I don’t know if I have ever seen a situation where the coach absolutely held his immediate future in his hands.....good luck fellas......please let’s see young talent win lose or draw.

McLaurin should be starting at safety

[msstate7]

McLaurin should be starting at safety

It'll be interesting to see how quickly James, Simmons, and mclaurin get on the field

[gtowndawg]

Players seemed fired up in warm ups.

[msstate7]

Players seemed fired up in warm ups.

What's crowd look like?

[Cloak]

Student section is standing room only. Glad I got here before the rest of em did. Hailstate, let's win today

[msstate7]

Gotta love saban's intensity, but good grief... Late td in a game he's kicking the absolute crap out of a team and he's going nuts on the sideline. Will a stroke retire Saban before he walks away?

[msstate7]

Student section is standing room only. Glad I got here before the rest of em did. Hailstate, let's win today

I'm holding you responsible for keeping them there after halftime haha

[lastmajordog]

Hail STATE DAMMIT!!......

[ShotgunDawg]

For goodness sake, please come out physical

[Engine]

Watching that replay of the smirk.... ****. Dan really wasn't upset after the kick.

[ShotgunDawg]

we deferred. I like it.

let the defense set the tone

[Bothrops]

OK let's get it done!

[ShotgunDawg]

WOW, Mullen just said Damian won't play tonight.

[lastmajordog]

Wow “nicks going the whole game”......Dan Mullen before SC 2016

[TUSK]

Better strap it up today. The cocks believe they can come in here and win.

Good Luck, guys....

[ShotgunDawg]

Good Luck, guys....

17 U

[lastmajordog]

Good Luck, guys....

thanks TUSK....next week’s UNM game is on YOU!!!!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

ugh. dodged a bullet on that first play.

[Irondawg]

Got lucky on that first play

[Commercecomet24]

Calvin!

[Irondawg]

Spencer sighting. True freshman for those interested

[Really Clark?]

CALVIN!!! Big hit

[msstate7]

Great start. Spencer on the field for 3rd down play. Good sign for the freshman

[Cloak]

Most enthusiastic I've seen Mullen. He is pumping the student section up. We win by 10+

[Really Clark?]

Spencer right there coming up the middle

[ShotgunDawg]

Well, this doesn't see so damn hard

[Really Clark?]

Yeah. Fritz didn't need a simple play on that first play. Nicely done

[ShotgunDawg]

WRs have to block

[ShotgunDawg]

WE BACK BABY

[Delmar]

Hell yeah bitches

[lastmajordog]

Hell yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! damn last week INEXCUSABLE

[Irondawg]

Well that was a nice drive

[Commercecomet24]

Boys got a little fire tonight!

[Really Clark?]

TD ROSS!!

[Really Clark?]

Very good blocking by the line as well

[BrunswickDawg]

Who said Fitz cant handle things???

[msstate7]

Under center was a nice wrinkle even if it didn't result in big gain

[Bothrops]

Now that's the way to start.

[Dawg61]

Damn that was a pretty drive

[Coldsleeve Jr.]

Y'all don't forget about the trust**

[Leroy Jenkins]

Apparently, per the announcers, Fitz was a running QB in HS.

[msstate7]

Keep up the intensity, d

[ShotgunDawg]

TE again.

Does our scheme cover them?

[defiantdog]

JT Gray is lost in this 3-4 it seems

[Really Clark?]

Bring the heat

[msstate7]

JT Gray is lost in this 3-4 it seems

Aj isn't

[ShotgunDawg]

Jefferson just whipped their OL ass

[Really Clark?]

AJ is in beast mode tonight so far

[Sacrifice]

Damn, Jefferson looks like the guy from fast times at ridgemont high

[BrunswickDawg]

DBlock is just mauling USC

[Statecoachingblows**]

AJ is in beast mode tonight so far

That sack was a thing of beauty. Great move and finished the play

[msstate7]

AJ is in beast mode tonight so far

He played 1st half last week like that... Gotta bring it all game tonight

[Commercecomet24]

Wow we may not suck that bad after all*****

[Coldsleeve Jr.]

AJ is in beast mode tonight so far

Hope the younger ones are taking note

[BrunswickDawg]

Damn, Jefferson looks like the guy from fast times at ridgemont high
That character was named Jefferson.

[GreenheadDawg]

Looks like the loss last week pissed some guys off. I like it. Seeing the fire we have been missing.

[Really Clark?]

JT Gray is lost in this 3-4 it seems

He had issues last year as well. He was the back up so of course he was better.*** Honestly he probably should have played over Jackson but he was lost a good bit as well. Hopefully his IQ catches up with his talent really quick this season

[ShotgunDawg]

Bubble screen developed too slow

[GreenheadDawg]

Atta boy!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

That's why that bitch has to play

He's faster than Dak

[Statecoachingblows**]

Dammit why can't we just delete last week

[Dawg61]

Ohhhhhhhh he's a STUD!!!!

[BrunswickDawg]

That is the Nick Fitz I saw blast Glynn Academy 3 years ago!!!

[defiantdog]

Holloway at 3rd and goal?!?!?!?!?! ****!

[ShotgunDawg]

Holloway up the gut on the goaline.

Are we retarded?

[GreenheadDawg]

3rd and goal and we give it to a ****ing 160 lb back. Jesus Dan

[Dawg61]

That's why that bitch has to play

He's faster than Dak

Much much faster

[Delmar]

Why the hell is Holloway making that run

[defiantdog]

Piss poor play calls there Dan!

[Engine]

God damn Holloway on 3rd down

[msstate7]

Holloway can't play in RZ

[ShotgunDawg]

WTH are we doing?

Knox should have his ass fired right now on the side line for having Holloway in there on 3rd goal on the goal line

That is complete mismanagement of his position unit

[Quaoarsking]

...
kick the FG there!

[Irondawg]

1st and 3rd down were just waste and somebody missed a block on both as well

[Engine]

Damn Mullen!!!!

You stupid no imagination ****

Holloway!?!? **** you

[Statecoachingblows**]

Blew a good opportunity hope that doesn't bite us in the ass

[ShotgunDawg]

unreal.

Dan has to trust his coaches to get the right players on the field. That's is a firable offense

[Irondawg]

Honestly that's how you lose a fan base. You run a 165 guy twice inside the 3

[defiantdog]

I'm tired of Holloway up the middle. That's Croom like shit.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I hate to say it but I'll be glad when Holloway moves on. Mullen can't use him the way he should.

[IMissJack]

Why the hell is Holloway making that run

+1000

[ShotgunDawg]

Come on Smokey. Can't let that happen

[Engine]

3 man rush on 3rd down.

****ing bend don't break weak ass shit

[ShotgunDawg]

17ing TE again. Why can't we cover them?

[IMissJack]

I hate to say it but I'll be glad when Holloway moves on. Mullen can't use him the way he should.

Holloway could be deadly if thrown screens the way we did to Perkins in '10. Of course Perkins wasn't used correctly either after the first 2 years.

[ShotgunDawg]

Picking on Smokey. He's nowhere near his receiver

[defiantdog]

Smokey is awful..... He has no reaction time

[Irondawg]

Just put graham out of his misery and sit his ass down

[MarketingBully]

Our secondary sucks but having Holloway in and continuing to call plays up the middle sucks dicks.

[BrunswickDawg]

They are picking on Smokey - every pass his way is a first down.

[Delmar]

Simmons blew that up

[defiantdog]

Leo Lewis seems to be in every play

[Delmar]

Here comes a 3rd and long for us to blow

[Irondawg]

Why are they even attempting to run. They should just throw every down

[Delmar]

Hell yeah

[BrunswickDawg]

Maclaurin teed off on Orth

[Engine]

Pressure on 3rd down works!

[DownwardDawg]

What is this blitz stuff I'm seeing!????

[ShotgunDawg]

Bryant was gone

[defiantdog]

Maclaurin teed off on Orth
He needs to be the starter back there

[Statecoachingblows**]

Qb gonna be hurting in the morning. He's taking shots repeatedly, love our DL play so far

[MarketingBully]

He could return that kick I thought? He caught the kick not sure why the refs whistled it dead.

[ShotgunDawg]

He could return that kick I thought? He caught the kick not sure why the refs whistled it dead.

Bryant apparently caught it out of bounds

[MarketingBully]

Please put Aeris Williams in and let's pound the hell out of the rock.

[Delmar]

He could return that kick I thought? He caught the kick not sure why the refs whistled it dead.

He must have caught the ball out of the back of the endzone.

[ShotgunDawg]

OK, Shump fumbled. Time for another guy

[defiantdog]

Shump fumbled on his first carry..... Awesome

[msstate7]

Come on shump... Good run, but hold on

[MarketingBully]

No he didn't. Aholes. Our ball still.

[MarketingBully]

It's still our ball guys.

[Dawg61]

Shumpert fumbled again, wtf is his problem

[ShotgunDawg]

Shump steps on his own dick more than any RB I've ever observed

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

We do a really poor job of utilizing our personnel to certain plays. On that last drive obviously Holloway shouldn't have been running up the gut on the goal line, but on the very first play of the drive he was split out wide and was responsible for blocking the CB. He whiffed and we lost two instead of making the block and gaining 10+.

Did you see Shump fumble and then get taken out? Good move.

[ShotgunDawg]

That was kind of late flag sheesh

[ShotgunDawg]

Aeris runs hard & looks right.

Go with him

[Delmar]

Aeries is running hard

[Irondawg]

Boy Myles is having a rough start to the year

[ShotgunDawg]

Money

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Myles has looked bad first two games.

[msstate7]

Myles is terrible outside

[Irondawg]

That's the 3rd time or wr had whiffed on the block to the wr screen

[ShotgunDawg]

Our WRs aren't blocking for shit

[IMissJack]

Boy Myles is having a rough start to the year

Blocking also.

[Delmar]

Fitz looking good on these 3rd downs

[Irondawg]

Great play by Ross

[ShotgunDawg]

Surely we'll go deep soon

[msstate7]

That's the 3rd time or wr had whiffed on the block to the wr screen

Wanna see couch outside more

[BrunswickDawg]

Sweet!!!

[Statecoachingblows**]

Boom

Not that one

[ShotgunDawg]

HAHAHAHAHA.

HELL YEAH!!!!!!

[Dawg61]

Ross ball so hard mofo can't find him

[Delmar]

Razzle dazzle

[IMissJack]

Fitz has wheels, keep in Aeris (he gets yds. after contact).

[MarketingBully]

Keep Aeris Williams out there at RB. I liked that personnel grouping by Dan there. Should be 21-0 but I will take 14-0 right now.

[defiantdog]

I'm so glad Ross came back for his senior season

[msstate7]

I think aeris is in the process of taking over.

[Delmar]

Fitz has wheels, keep in Aeris (he gets yds. after contact).

I agree. Fitz/Aeris combination could be lethal.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Sometimes you gotta let your nuts hang.

[Commercecomet24]

Well the game ain't over yet but Dan still has this team. They came out fighting for the man.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Fitz has wheels, keep in Aeris (he gets yds. after contact).


Aeris getting ready to take RB job. He's going to make it where Mullen doesn't have a decision to make.

[HSVDawg]

I think Fitz already has over 100 yards rushing.

[BrunswickDawg]

I don't think I've seen our D swarm like this since AU '14

[lastmajordog]

last week was inexcusable....this team CAN WIN SOME GAMES..

[ShotgunDawg]

last week was inexcusable....this team CAN WIN SOME GAMES..

Agree. Program needed a wake up call though. Everyone needs a kick in the ball every once in a while

[Commercecomet24]

last week was inexcusable....this team CAN WIN SOME GAMES..

I agree people pimping the lack of talent on this team were wrong.

[MarketingBully]

Have to keep up the intensity here with no let ups.

[Delmar]

Peters!!

[Cloak]

JAMAAALLLLL

[ShotgunDawg]

17ing PETERS!!!!!

[IMissJack]

Peters.....INT> Players gonna make plays at any position!

[Really Clark?]

Peters INT

[starkvegasdawg]

Jamal says I'll take that thank you very much.

[ShotgunDawg]

[defiantdog]

Peters and McLaurin need to be on the field more

[msbulldog]

Ross ain't missing much.

[msstate7]

Dammit Johnson

[Really Clark?]

Um...Holloway up the middle.

[msbulldog]

OL blew that hole open.

[anubus]

Have to keep up the intensity here with no let ups.

beat the will outta em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Really Clark?]

Bad call

[Dawgology]

bullshit call there. Total bullshit

[ShotgunDawg]

Dammit Johnson

I'm OK with it. It was an aggressive mistake by a young player trying to finish a block. I'll take it

[starkvegasdawg]

Dammit Johnson

Looked like a crap call.

[Statecoachingblows**]

Hellacious effort there...

[Saltydog]

We're a dink/dunk passing offense......

[ShotgunDawg]

I'd punt it. Play defense.

Don't give them momentum

[Commercecomet24]

I'm OK with it. It was an aggressive mistake by a young player trying to finish a block. I'll take it

I agree. That aggressiveness is what we want.

[BrunswickDawg]

Heat bothering Fitz? No way a south Ga kid gets bothered by heat. Now, beer sweats and heat, us coasties know all about that!

[msstate7]

Heat bothering Fitz? No way a south Ga kid gets bothered by heat. Now, beer sweats and heat, us coasties know all about that!

He's did a lot of running this game after a tough week of practice. I think he'll be fine

[Prentis]

I still would like to see Gibson and or Murphy.

[MarketingBully]

We're a dink/dunk passing offense......

It's not that we don't have one, it's that we are running the ball really well and dominating them that way.

[defiantdog]

Simmons!

[ShotgunDawg]

Our defensive line is kicking ass

[BrunswickDawg]

Just ties our fumble recovery total for 2015

[Sacrifice]

Simmons is gonna be a 3 and gone!

[Delmar]

Simmons again.

[msstate7]

Freshman... Just saying

[starkvegasdawg]

Very smart play just falling on it and not trying to pick it up.

[Delmar]

17

[defiantdog]

Fitz eyes that one

[starkvegasdawg]

Well shit.

[ShotgunDawg]

Sucks, but that's OK.

That's part of the development process. Stick with him Dan

[defiantdog]

Brown is tackling better this game

[Saltydog]

it downfield and it's intercepted. Fitz just made my point. We have NO vertical passing game.

[BrunswickDawg]

Sucks, but that's OK.

That's part of the development process. Stick with him Dan

Dak threw some of those in '13

[defiantdog]

Simmons is absolutely destroying the center

[msstate7]

Jung is having a nice game

[ShotgunDawg]

Dak threw some of those in '13

Yup, it's part of it.

The good thing is that it can help a young QB relax when the staff shows confidence after that. Loosens them up

[TopDog58]

Simmons is flat out blowing up their O line

[Irondawg]

The play call on the pick was fine and the receiver was open. He just needs to throw that one higher and it's a td

[ShotgunDawg]

If I were Mullen, I would throw a bomb on the first play here.

Show confidence in Fitz. Make him feel it

[msstate7]

Get the ball in dear's hands here

[MarketingBully]

21-0 would show our dominace. I'd like to see one more TD here. We get the ball first in the second half so we could really blow them out here. I am concerned about Fitz health though.

[MarketingBully]

The play call on the pick was fine and the receiver was open. He just needs to throw that one higher and it's a td

Agreed. Was the right play call.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Still no James or Dear?

[Commercecomet24]

The play calling has been good. Even on the int we were open Nick just didn't get any air under it.

[starkvegasdawg]

Lightning 15 miles north of stadium and 25 miles west.

[ShotgunDawg]

http://i.imgur.com/dfKLC3v.jpg

[Dolphus Raymond]

Simmons. Just damn.
And pretty impressed with Fitz.

[defiantdog]

21-0 would show our dominace. I'd like to see one more TD here. We get the ball first in the second half so we could really blow them out here. I am concerned about Fitz health though.
We got Tim Tebow Jr aka Nick Tiano on the bench. Yeah, he's a big boy

[starkvegasdawg]

Still no James or Dear?
Think James has played.

[BrunswickDawg]

21-0 would show our dominace. I'd like to see one more TD here. We get the ball first in the second half so we could really blow them out here. I am concerned about Fitz health though.
IV at halftime and he'll be fine. After the game he's throwing a case of Coors in his t-top Vette and headed to Athens. Got a party to get to.*** #JohnBond2.0

[ShotgunDawg]

Fitz is fast

[ShotgunDawg]

Physical WR play. Hell yeah

[Delmar]

We are just much more physical than them.

[starkvegasdawg]

Myles just trucked that DB.

[msstate7]

Nice, Myles

[Commercecomet24]

Physical is back baby!

[ShotgunDawg]

BOOM!!!!!!

[msbulldog]

WOW!

[starkvegasdawg]

Now that was just wanting it more.

[BrunswickDawg]

Jordan Thomas is a bad man - and a big MFr!!

[Irondawg]

Got away with that one

[Statecoachingblows**]

Damn good catch!

[ShotgunDawg]

Looks like Thomas has some Bear in him. Redzone target

[Delmar]

Need to work with Fitz on the goal line passing plays

[defiantdog]

Sorry IYOK, but Thomas is a TE not an OT!

[Statecoachingblows**]

Great strain!

[Thick]

TD, but I got excited seeing Shump and Williams in the I formation!

[Commercecomet24]

Holy crap it's 2009-2010 again!

[msstate7]

LF out for lsu tonight... Could he be out next week too?

[lastmajordog]

WOOF WOOF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WinningIsRelentless]

Fitz owes Thomas a few rounds for saving his ass

[MarketingBully]

Hey, if Fitz has Bond like results I'll take it.

[msstate7]

Fitz owes Thomas a few rounds for saving his ass

Fitz drinks alone

[lastmajordog]

DOESNT MATTER..... this team CAN beat LSU...I said it last week........Miles gonna be MILES.....should have beat them last year....

[Bothrops]

Ritchie Brown looks soft this year.

[BrunswickDawg]

Fitz drinks alone

He prefers to drink by himself

[ElectroDawg]

Fitz looks good. Needs to work on his touch but I like what I see.

[IMissJack]

Simmons is a difference maker, based on what I've seen so far.

[ShotgunDawg]

Fitz looks good. Needs to work on his touch but I like what I see.

Well..... He can make a damn play.

You win in the SEC with play makers

[IMissJack]

Fitz looks good. Needs to work on his touch but I like what I see.

And staring down receivers...

[Commercecomet24]

He prefers to drink by himself

I thought the whole team hated Nick? ******

[msstate7]

Fitz looks good. Needs to work on his touch but I like what I see.

Sophomore... Doesn't that put a smile on your face?

[ElectroDawg]

And I forgot to mention that Fitz can pick'em up and put'em down
