MSU vs TAMU Game: #ihopewepracticedthisweek

[ShotgunDawg]

Alright, here we go.

I honestly have no idea what to expect as a barely know this team, what their identity is, or what their personalities are.

After cutting most of the media budget & having a disappointing team, I'm as apathetic about MSU football as I've been in years

[Dawgfan77]

SloMo vs Jimbo

[TrapGame]

SloMo vs Jimbo

That's gold.

[ShotgunDawg]

SloMo vs Jimbo

Lethargic vs high strung

[ShotgunDawg]

Well this game is already off to a bad start

Not a bad way to go out at that age.

I feel the exact same way. It’s strange.

[ShotgunDawg]

I feel the exact same way. It’s strange.

Yup. Being bad at football really isn't that miserable, people just find other things to do. They move on

[ShotgunDawg]

Stadium looks ok on TV

[ShotgunDawg]

I see A&M brought all the weirdos

[Cowbell]

Yup. Being bad at football really isn't that miserable, people just find other things to do. They move on

This is one reason I believe MS high school football is so great. A lot more hope in HS teams than other local teams. I live in TX and, despite popular belief, It doesn’t hold a candle to MS high schools in terms of dynamics and talent at the small school level.

[ShotgunDawg]

Thank goodness they dropped that slip screen

[ShotgunDawg]

Should've been a flag on A&M on 3rd down.

The slot WR was creeping forward prior to the snap

[msstate7]

Thank goodness they dropped that slip screen

And the 3rd down pass

[ShotgunDawg]

I like starting with short passes.

Gets Fitz some confidence even if they don't go for many yards

[Saltydog]

NT

[TrapGame]

Mitchell made a damn good catch!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

I'll be damn

[DownwardDawg]

Wow!!

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Aye a screen pass

[Really Clark?]

Well Mitchell found some stickem. What a catch

[Commercecomet24]

Dang what a catch!!!

[Really Clark?]

Do like the better tempo

[ShotgunDawg]

You can tell how much they respect our WRs since they are playing that tight. LOL

[TrapGame]

False start on your own field. C'mon man.

[ShotgunDawg]

Here is our real offense

[RocketDawg]

Fitz's passes look better tonight so far. I'm not there (sick) so used to seeing them in person, but so far the offense on the first possession look better. Lots of game to go tho.

[ShotgunDawg]

Damn, this is the best looking game plan we've had

[msstate7]

Was that Thomas with the big block?

[ShotgunDawg]

Fitz's passes look better tonight so far. I'm not there (sick) so used to seeing them in person, but so far the offense on the first possession look better. Lots of game to go tho.

They are short. Joe built in some short throws to get him in rhythm.

[ShotgunDawg]

That was the worst, non-fumble looking option play I've seen in a while

[DownwardDawg]

Holy hell. Did u hear what the announcer just said?

[ShotgunDawg]

How bout we hand it to the running back here

[ShotgunDawg]

We are going to need some big plays to win tonight.

[ShotgunDawg]

HOLY SHIT

[TrapGame]

HOT DAMN!!!!

[Really Clark?]

Well heck!! Great pass and catch

[DownwardDawg]

Holy shit!!!!

[Commercecomet24]

Dang what a drive!!!

[RocketDawg]

Good heavens. Guidry caught a long pass, and the pass looked good. TD.

[mparkerfd20]

Holy crap.

[ShotgunDawg]

Don't put Kylin in, Don't put Kylin in

[RocketDawg]

Holy hell. Did u hear what the announcer just said?

Maybe. What was it?

[mparkerfd20]

That's the most fired up I've ever seen Moorhead

[ShotgunDawg]

Good heavens. Guidry caught a long pass, and the pass looked good. TD.

It actually looked like we practiced this week

[bostondawg]

Did Nick just throw a pretty touch ball and a receiver make a nice play?

What twilight zone is this?

[ShotgunDawg]

That's the most fired up I've ever seen Moorhead

That may be the most complete drive of the year vs a good team.

That was balance. You can win big with that play calling

[Coach007]

Never tell me that it was not coaching......

[TrapGame]

Best drive of the season! Hands down!

[Commercecomet24]

Some great throws some dang good catches and great pass blocking on that drive

[Leroy Jenkins]

We want Bama.

[Commercecomet24]

That may be the most complete drive of the year vs a good team.

That was balance. You can win big with that play calling

Absolutely!

[Dawg61]

Moorhead reads ED. I'm 100% positive.

[TrapGame]

Some great throws some dang good catches and great pass blocking on that drive

It looked a lot like Penn St. from last year.

[Really Clark?]

We want Bama.

Let’s dont get crazy just yet...Haha

[dawgday166]

Clean pocket makes a HELLUVA lot of difference. ATrain with good block on blitzer. He probably gets by Hill and crushes Fitz.

[Doggie_Style]

Best drive of the season! Hands down!

just in case...I like my crow medium rare!

[TrapGame]

just in case...I like my crow medium rare!

I'll take mine with hot sauce.

[msstate7]

Kentucky wins on last play

[ShotgunDawg]

Our defense is sound

[DownwardDawg]

Maybe. What was it?

Something about he has been restricting Fitz in the passing game. I though get the problem was we were throwing too much. I know I love what I see tonight.

[Lance Harbor]

Nice hold but the ATM receiver there.

[ShotgunDawg]

Mond is making a lot of good decisions right now

[TrapGame]

Nice hold but the ATM receiver there.

I saw three holds on that play.

[Lance Harbor]

Another obvious hold right in front of the ball and ref.

[parabrave]

Kentucky wins on last play

Mizzo get totally screwed

[DownwardDawg]

Kentucky wins on last play

Awesome for them. Between them and Georgia next week.

[Coach007]

I saw three holds on that play.



Yeah.... I can not believe the no calls on that ONE play

[Lance Harbor]

How so?


Mizzo get totally screwed

[Commercecomet24]

AM can't block us without holding

[parabrave]

How so?

Pass interference on Mizz when the KY receiver demolishes the defender going for the ball. Ref closest to the play calls incomplete pass and of course ref way across the field call interference.

[ShotgunDawg]

Landrews is playing his ass off right now

[Doggie_Style]

He is....awesome

[msstate7]

Great start.

[ShotgunDawg]

Hell yeah boys!!!

[Really Clark?]

Way to hold D!! I see you Landrews

[Commercecomet24]

Our kids are playing hard.

[Commercecomet24]

Y'all we knew our front 7 was gonna be really good this year but this secondary has been nasty and physical as well.

[Marshdawg]

Regardless of other perceived deficiencies, I like Moorhead's fired tonight

[bobtail bob]

Fitzmagic is feeling it at home turn it up joh

[ShotgunDawg]

Our kids are playing hard.

That's the one thing that has kept me from completely bailing on Moorhead.

The kids have played hard for him

[Coach007]

William's picking up blitzes like crazy!!!!

[msbulldog]

AW!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

I love watching Aeris run. Elite vision

[TrapGame]

Aeris is a ****ing load!

[Commercecomet24]

That's the one thing that has kept me from completely bailing on Moorhead.

The kids have played hard for him

Yeah this has never looked like a team that has give up on their coach.

[msstate7]

I love watching Aeris run. Elite vision

He's our best back. Unfortunately, he's the back up

[hopsondawg22]

It will be the most Mississippi State thing ever if we keep up this level of play and pull the upset in Ttown.

[ShotgunDawg]

I wish Nick could see that blitz coming & there was a simple hot route built in to take advantage of it

[ShotgunDawg]

The conviction in Nick's throws tonight are night & day compared to last week

[ShotgunDawg]

It will be the most Mississippi State thing ever if we keep up this level of play and pull the upset in Ttown.

Would certainly make me feel better about the future.

[DownwardDawg]

He's our best back. Unfortunately, he's the back up

Moorehead needs to understand AW is the best option. I’ve been a Hill fan but he clearly ain’t no A-Train n

[bobtail bob]

Hill is a running back trying to block. Aries Williams is a dam football player

[Commercecomet24]

The conviction in Nick's throws tonight are night & day compared to last week

Maybe the thought of losing his job motivated him

[dawgday166]

He's our best back. Unfortunately, he's the back up

I've said this all f***ing year long.

[ShotgunDawg]

Shitty spot

[Really Clark?]

Wow Joe is hot

[dawgday166]

Maybe the thought of losing his job motivated him

I think it's he's more confident in his back blocking for him and not getting crushed.

[ShotgunDawg]

Moorhead is pissed

Somebody ran the wrong play there

[Really Clark?]

Even the punter shows up and great coverage

[Commercecomet24]

I think it's he's more confident in his back blocking for him and not getting crushed.

That too lol

[ShotgunDawg]

Even the punter shows up and great coverage

Confidence is a hell of a drug

[hacker]

Joe with the introverted rage. That was nasty.

[Dawg61]

Pissed off Moorhead is my favorite version

[ShotgunDawg]

Joe with the introverted rage. That was nasty.

introverted rage is the worst.

It means they have lost control

[Really Clark?]

Confidence is a hell of a drug

Yes sir it is

[Coach007]

Moorhead livid!!!!!

At

His

Players



About damn time!!!! Coach

[Commercecomet24]

Yeah when someone the size of joe gets pissed people listen

[Doggie_Style]

Moorhead finally woke up...love the emotion....much needed

[Really Clark?]

Joe with the introverted rage. That was nasty.


Yes it was...

[TrapGame]

I like Hot Head Joe.

[Marshdawg]

Intensity is contagious and I like it

[msbulldog]

HELLUVA PUNT COVERAGE.

[Cloak]

Moorhead trying to win the fan base back by being overly hyped up. I like it.

[HoopsDawg]

What the F was that 3rd down Call and 4th down decision?!?!

[Kingbarkus]

Can we have a QB sneak to get a few inches?

[msstate7]

That's a losing penalty

[ShotgunDawg]

That's a false start.

Abram wasn't past the line when the guy jumped

[Bdawg]

Damn that's dumb Abram

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Why did they blow the Abrams offside dead?

[ShotgunDawg]

Errol looks like a future all-pro LB

[ShotgunDawg]

Why did they blow the Abrams offside dead?

because their guy flinched

Problem is that the guy flinched before Abram crossed the line

[Bdawg]

Errol looks like a future all-pro LB

He will thump ya

[ShotgunDawg]

Mond makes quick decisions

[msstate7]

TD vs OM

[ShotgunDawg]

Our DBs need to step up

Brutal coverage

[Bdawg]

Wow!!!

[Matt3467]

Where is sweat?

[Really Clark?]

Lucky

[dawgday166]

Errol Thompson is turning into a bad man.

[ShotgunDawg]

Lucky drive for the defense.

I can't really say good job

[msstate7]

They've dropped/overthrown about 5 passes

[Coach007]

Hold hold hold

[Kingbarkus]

We’re lucky a&m dropping all these passes.

[TrapGame]

Do we have a spy on Mond? I haven't seen him run.

[msstate7]

We'll be pinned back. Will Moorhead give key this series? This is where he was supposed to come in. Defense may have cost him his series

[Matt3467]

Errol looks like a future all-pro LB

Yea, I've noticed when he hits someone there's no forward progress lol. Stout dude.

[TrapGame]

We'll be pinned back. Will Moorhead give key this series? This is where he was supposed to come in. Defense may have cost him his series

Nick's a hot hand right now. I say stick with Nick.

[Commercecomet24]

Mond not throwing catchable balls****

[Really Clark?]

Wow we get a bad punt break

[ShotgunDawg]

They've dropped/overthrown about 5 passes

True, but we've got guys where the WR is running.

Mond has to throw it behind the WRs or they'll get crushed.

[BulldogBear]

Hold hold hold

Lot of that tonight

[Commercecomet24]

Need points here

[ShotgunDawg]

Nick's a hot hand right now. I say stick with Nick.

Absolutely

[Kingbarkus]

Thompson reminds me of Vaughn Johnson of the Saints Dome patrol back in the day.

[parabrave]

Knock on wood but we haven't heard from their all world TE. If Mullen was still here he would have alredy scored 3 tds***

[Commercecomet24]

True, but we've got guys where the WR is running.

Mond has to throw it behind the WRs or they'll get crushed.

Exactly and he's had to throw a split second early cause of pressure too makes a difference that tenth of a second

[Bdawg]

We are catching the breaks right now. Even their punter is screwing up right now. Must capitalize!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

I don't like this

[bobtail bob]

We need more points they aren't going to miss on all those hoome runs

[Bdawg]

Well here he is

[Pit Bull]

I like what I see with with Landrews?..gonna be a playa!

[DownwardDawg]

Key. Not sure about this.

[TrapGame]

Mistake Joe. Shoulda stayed with Nick.

[ShotgunDawg]

It's like Moorhead said too much again & promised KT playing time this week.

[Matt3467]

Our line getting mauled in the trenches

[DownwardDawg]

Fitz was looking good.

[Saltydog]

NT

[ShotgunDawg]

Mistake Joe. Shoulda stayed with Nick.

Problem is he promised KT playing time this week.

You can't not play him then

[bobtail bob]

Jeez he looks terrible running for his life

[ShotgunDawg]

There is our WRs

Absolutely JUCO level right there

[Really Clark?]

Dang Mitchell

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

There's the hands***

[Dawgology]

Osiris is feast or famine lol

[Matt3467]

That's Mitchell for you

[TrapGame]

Whop sighting!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

We just threw a pass to Whop

[Really Clark?]

Whop with a target

[RocketDawg]

Key. Not sure about this.

Yeah, Fitz looks better than he has all year and Moorhead puts Key in. And it didn't work out.

[ShotgunDawg]

Fitz has to sense that

Just terrible QB play right there

[Coach007]

Love the deep passing calls

[msstate7]

Why in the f'n hell do you have fitz play fake there? That's a DA call

[Commercecomet24]

Dang dropped passes

[RocketDawg]

Whop with a target


What's his number?

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Deep shot to Jason.

An easy catch dropped changes the drive. 2nd and pretty short becomes 2nd and 10

[Saltydog]

NT

[Dawgology]

Jesus our punting is terrible haha! I can punt it that far

[bobtail bob]

Screen these pricks they are asking for it

[Really Clark?]

What's his number?

3 I think

[ShotgunDawg]

Tucker Day is ass.

I don't know how he was ever offered a scholly.

Have to go get a grad transfer next year.

We give up an enormous amount of yards per game on punts

[Dawgology]

NT


True

[Matt3467]

Can our kickers not punt better than that?

[TrapGame]

Did Aeris have any carries that series?

[HoopsDawg]

Wow, kick it rugby style or something

[ShotgunDawg]

Tucker Day's plant leg doesn't even leave the ground when he punts

He generates that little momentum.

It's a completely unathletic movement

[MarketingBully]

We need receivers but how the hell does Fitz not feel that blitz? Then there is the punting we have grown to know. Holy shit!!!

[Matt3467]

Did Aeris have any carries that series?

Yes

[msstate7]

Did Aeris have any carries that series?

Yes, key handed him the ball running sideways

[BulldogBear]

That series was bush league from beginning to end

Run game?

#3 very not open

Mitchelling. Or is it Osirising?

KT 3rd down was blitz all the way. Why do we have no way to check into something that could burn them?

[parabrave]

Why are we running 20 yard routes on that 3rd down? Nicks getting killed and the receivers are still running downfield. It was like everybody go long call.

[Coach007]

1 second more and that was a long gain. It was there

[msbulldog]

Whop is #3.

[bobtail bob]

Joe has a problem of not running the same play to the rb more than once

[Bdawg]

Screen these pricks they are asking for it

Please

[Really Clark?]

And almost handed off for a fumble on the blitz that sacked him


Yes, key handed him the ball running sideways

[ShotgunDawg]

We need receivers but how the hell does Fitz not feel that blitz? Then there is the punting we have grown to know. Holy shit!!!

Fitz just lacks football instincts at QB. It's that simple & almost impossible to teach

[Dawgology]

Did Aeris have any carries that series?

Had one caught in back field when KT was in for a 5 yard loss. None after Fitz came in.

[ShotgunDawg]

We need a turnover to flip the field.

[HaggardDawg]

Serious question, how the hell hard is it to drop the ball and kick the shit out of it? How do these guys who kick it 100 times a day not at least get 45 yards minimum?

[Really Clark?]

K. That’s enough offsides

[Coach007]

We need receivers but how the hell does Fitz not feel that blitz? Then there is the punting we have grown to know. Holy shit!!!

He felt it being lpicked up by Williams... and was fooled by the CB on a late blitz

[Saltydog]

NT

[Dawgology]

Fitz just lacks football instincts at QB. It's that simple & almost impossible to teach


Unfortunately that is a lot of the problem.

[dawgday166]

Thompson is laying some wood!

[Matt3467]

Goodness graciousness, Errol is scary!

[mparkerfd20]

Erroll is easily one of my favorite players. He gives it all every play.

[TrapGame]

Thompson knocked that dude back to 1st grade.

[bobtail bob]

He's concussed

[Marshdawg]

Errol dropping bombs!!

[msbulldog]

Checked his oil for him.

[ShotgunDawg]

That should be a fumble, which should back A&M up about 4 yards. Ball was coming loose

[ShotgunDawg]

Our DL is getting stomped

[msstate7]

They getting it together now

[RocketDawg]

Thompson knocked that dude back to 1st grade.

And it was a fumble too that wasn't called. Didn't make much difference though. Especially with that run their guy just had (Corbin).

[mparkerfd20]

Damnit

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm still dumbfounded at why that wasn't called a fumble.

Ball was clearly moving

[Commercecomet24]

Errol is so good!

[Saltydog]

lacks football smarts, IMO. Combine that with JoMo over complicating the "O" and our WR's drops and lack of separation and this is the end result. It's just ugly.

[ShotgunDawg]

Errol is everywhere

[ShotgunDawg]

Dammit.

What we are seeing here is that one QB knows how to handle a blitz & the other does not

[TrapGame]

Thompson again.

[RocketDawg]

Thompson bout killed Mond then.

[Marshdawg]

Do we employ a lip reader? If not we should

[Bdawg]

Man damn. You can't block a guy down field when throwing past the line of scrimmage. Bullshit call to get them the first

[msstate7]

Dammit.

What we are seeing here is that one QB knows how to handle a blitz & the other does not
One has Jimbo Fisher coaching him

[Dawgology]

There is some serious hitting happening down there...wow. We may get our ass kicked but they will feel us.

[ShotgunDawg]

One has Jimbo Fisher coaching him

I'm not sure how much Jimbo would help Fitz

Fitz has a slow football mind. Mullen's system was perfect for him because the throws in Mullen's offense were decisive & quick

[Marshdawg]

E Thompson bringing wood

[Dawgology]

The problem here is that they will adjust offensively and we will not. It’s just a matter of time and patience for the other team unfortunately

[RocketDawg]

Wasn't that grounding?

[ShotgunDawg]

That is grounding

Ball didn't pass the line

[msstate7]

Hell yeah

[Marshdawg]

We need a turnover or at least limit this to 3

[Commercecomet24]

Huge play right there!

[ShotgunDawg]

Ok, good job defense.

Offense needs to answer

[RocketDawg]

Very good stop to hold them to 3.

[Really Clark?]

Mond missed a blitz from the back side as well

[Dawgology]

I feeeeeel they will win 9-7 hahaha. 3-2 game Part Deux

[ShotgunDawg]

Ok, good job defense.

Offense needs to answer

[Dawgology]

That is grounding

Ball didn't pass the line

That will go down as a sack. Has to be grounding

[MarketingBully]

We need some points whether it be 3 or 7 here. We will get the ball first in the second half so we need to do something here.

[ShotgunDawg]

Gibby running hard

[TrapGame]

GUIDRY!!!

[Really Clark?]

Nice Throw and catch Guidry

[msbulldog]

Yes Guidry!

[ShotgunDawg]

Damn

Guidry is pretty damn good. Ashamed we've had so much trouble getting it to him

[msstate7]

Answer dawgs

[ShotgunDawg]

Amazing how much more open Fitz's running plays are when we can throw

[Really Clark?]

That was a very catchable ball. Haha
