Us vs aTm - 35-14 win, them - 31-24 loss

*Auburn game was an 8-point game at our half. It was a complete whipping at OM half.

We are the better team. If we do not give them points, we should roll

38-21 state

[Commercecomet24]

I?m gonna say 42-14 HailState

[ShotgunDawg]

The game comes down to our OL & not turning the ball over.

If our OL shows up & plays bad ass, physical football like we did vs Bama, we name our score.

OM will score some & make a few big plays, but simply lack the offensive scheme or consistency to beat us.

[Pollodawg]

45-14 State.

We were the better team today too. Like you said, don't mean shit if you don't come to play.

We better, because this game is their everything.

[Quaoarsking]

We'll be up 31-14 late and score a TD and go for 2 to win 39-14.

[Saltydog]

ability and those WR's could make it tough.

[Commercecomet24]

You blitz 5-0 like a.m. did tonight he?s done

[parabrave]

Just look at the history of the last games of Coaches on both sides. With the exception of O they were all blowouts. The players of the soon to be departed coach don't even show up for the game.

[Turfdawg67]

45-14 State.

God I hope you are right! I want a 2-year blowout win streak!! Plus, it's better for my heart if we have the game well in hand. Arky game about killed me today.

[QuadrupleOption]

ability and those WR's could make it tough.

No.

[Coursesuper]

What Jeffery Simmons is going to do to Sean Rawling should be classified as criminal, he is going to abuse him. And any end we have is going to abuse Rod Taylor. It's going to fun to watch.

100% dead on accurate!

[Activated Alpha]

Bunch of y'all said the same thing about Arkansas game. Just because we should roll them doesn't mean we will. Their strengths still match up well against our weakness

[Commercecomet24]

I really don?t care how bad we beat them if it?s by 1 or 100 just as long as we win.

[Todd4State]

You'll just have to excuse everyone for not predicting that we would have three fluke fumble plays not go our way and result in touchdowns.

[Really Clark?]

And our strengths match up just as well if not better than their strength vs our weakness.

[Reason2succeed]

I am afraid of what Ta’amu and AJ will do to our secondary. They live on the big play and we are susceptible to the big play. Our secondary has to step up and play lights out or we will be down quickly.

Our offense can help immensely by sustaining drives and keeping the ball away from the Confederates.

I bleed maroon but that ain’t happening on Thursday. Say what you will about Matt Luke and his fat face but he has not let the Rebs quit. They are fighting hard. I can respect that...and only that.

[Saltydog]

[TrapGame]

Our defense will be up Mahalo's ass all night. If he can hit AJ and AJ actually catch it then more power to him.

[msstatelp1]

You blitz 5-0 like a.m. did tonight he?s done

A&M did a good job blitzing but were horrible at contain and tackling. If our defense plays its usual game, I don't see their QB having time to make many long throws.

[Spiderman]

Have to contain with front 4 and bring pressure with 1 more. Main thing is keeping him in the pocket, but he can't have time or clear throwing lanes.

What we used to call "safe pressure" which is what A&M did a decent job of in the 2nd half and Cal did also

[msstate7]

We were flat as could be and won on the road; we won?t be flat this week. OM was sky high and lost... that has to take something out of a team (see us vs bama)

[MeridianDog]

I want to be wrong, but after this weekend, I say we will barely squeak by in a nail-biter game that we win on a FG, late in the 4th

MSU 31 , OM 27

[TrapGame]

Yep. Beating A&M and us would have sealed the deal with Luke. Now it's just 17ing our season up and a middle finger before the sanctions.

We didn't give two flips about Arkansas. This game is a whole new creature. After UMass we got the same handwringing and freak out. We handled Bama pretty good the next weekend.

Mullen shouldn't have to say a word to motivate this week. If we come out flat for this one, there are major problems with State's players.

I promise OM won't be flat. After the NCAA stuff, and Luke's greatest strength as a coach, being a souped up cheerleader, they will come in with their hair on fire.

You think AJ Brown won't be sky high for this?

The most impressive thing Luke has done all year was rah rahing enough to keep OM from quitting after the Arky game.

We just have to weather the opening of the game and respond to their early offensive plays. They always start very fast. We will have to answer or we will be in an early hole.

They are gonna stack the box, man up and say our WR's can't get open, and hope to make Fitz throw quick.

Dead ass accurate.

You are crazy if you think this game will be easy.

2 years ago in Dak?s last home game, with the Sugar Bowl on the line to the winner, OM came out with FAR more energy and aggressiveness.

That will happen again if we don?t show up ready.

Good thing is - we have a lot of guys on the team from that game. They know what OM is capable of. Then they have Leo and Kobe and Farrod in their ear all week saying ?I wanna kill those 17rs? for all the shit that OM has been throwing. No way we are flat.

OM was the better team in 2015. We are the better team and at home. Y?all crazy if you think OM keeps this within one score

[Coursesuper]

That UNM has sued two of our players says all you need to know about our team being motivated.

The more you say OM will do this and that, the better I feel. No one overvalues OM like you. Last night is just another example of you being wrong, yet again about OM. They just are not as good as you think they are

[Spiderman]

Heard that same stuff all last week.

If we can hold them scoreless on their 1st two drives of the game, it will be huge for us

They can score. And that give anyone a chance. Credit A&M for playing D in the 2nd half. Vegas had them favored also.

The line opened with aTm favored. Idiots bet on OM in droves to push OM -2.5. On Friday and Saturday, the smart ones bet on aTm to push the line to aTm -2.5 at kickoff.

[drummerdawg]

I'm not so worried about the deep ball as much as I am the short passes and yards after catch. AJ is so hard to tackle and gets yads when he's not supposed to.

[Commercecomet24]

This is no different than last year, they have the same team but we have improved dramatically and have a much better dc AND we are playing at home.

[QuadrupleOption]

Everyone's worried about their damn WRs - how are they going to throw the ball when we play keep away all game and run it down their damn throats for 4 quarters?

[msstate7]

Speaking of their WRs, what is metcalf?s status? Jefferson definitely out.

[Jack Lambert]

I think our defense is going to be too Much for them.

[Spiderman]

Fat Boy said last week Jefferson was a maybe this week, so who knows?

Didn't see any thing on Metcalf where he wouldn't play.

Jefferson had a dislocated elbow, correct?

Thought metcalf left game and did not return last night. Missed almost all the game though... kept up on my phone

[CadaverDawg]

I’m as negative as they come, but if you think they’re going to march into Davis Wade at night with the Citrus on the line and hang with us, you’re crazy. We’re going to whip their ass from start to finish. Grantham will say, it doesn’t matter how good your receivers are if we give you 1.5 seconds to find them before punching you in the damn mouth. My biggest concern is making sure Ta’amu doesn’t beat us with his legs when we force him to take off every play. Must contain the QB.

Dawgs win big. Mullen gets Gatorade bath. We prep for biggest bowl game in MSU history versus a big name program like Ohio State or Penn State in Florida.

Where ya been man? I agree. I look for intensity of the bama game from the players, the coaches and the crowd. We will bring it!

Our defense is better then two years ago and they don't have Kelly.

[BuckyIsAB****]

They will throw blows with us early, but by the end if we play our game they'll be just taking them. Anyone expecting OM to not show up is fooling themselves

[Spiderman]

Yes on Jefferson. I didn't think Metcalf got hurt last night. May have, but I watched every play and didn't see if he did. Announcers said nothing either that I recall

[Spiderman]

Yep, but like I said, if we can hold them to 0 points in their 1st two drives. It will be huge. State has to kill their hope early. Can't let them start believing at all
