Do we beat KY? Let?s hear it

[confucius say]

I say we win and cover the 6.5.

I expect autry and gay to play and Tommy to be closer to 100% at least. Hope Dantzler and Gibson are ready too. Prob not on Parker.

[basedog]

27-20 Dawgs

[TrapGame]

28-20 Dawgs over Cats

[Doggie_Style]

I am spending $800+ to go to this game and I will be cheering for State as hard as I can. That being said I expect to lose 35-24.....damn

[Commercecomet24]

Riding with the Dawgs-24-17

[ScoobaDawg]

I believe we win if Tommy Plays. If he doesn't I'm not as confident.

[RezDog7]

I really don't know. I'll be there with my family plus a few more though.

[Jack Lambert]

We should win. I am going. My seats are in the shad at 1:30. 3:00 start is a plus.

[Homedawg]

If TS plays we should win......We will win. If not, we lose.

[biggun]

If Tommy is healthy, we win. If he is not, we lose

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Score more points

[Dawg2003]

If Shrader starts, we don't win. In Tommy starts, it will be 50/50.

[Coach007]

Gotta pull for us.

35-21

[bluelightstar]

If Stevens plays, I expect to win a game played in the 20s. If Shrader plays, I expect a replay of last year's 28-7.

[dantheman4248]

Stevens plays (and is healthy) we win 41-17.

Shrader plays it's a coin flip who wins at 24-21

[wild_dawg]

I'm expect us to cover if Tommy is at 100%, if not I still think we win, but we wont cover. I'll be there, my seats will be in the sun but at least it wont be as hot.

[DownwardDawg]

I say 24-20 Kentucky. I freakin hate it, but I’ve watched us play and I’ve watched them play. I sure hope I’m wrong. I hope we beat the brakes off them.

[msugolf]

Stevens plays (and is healthy) we win 41-17.

Shrader plays it's a coin flip who wins at 24-21

The only way we score 41 is if it goes 7 overtimes

[Scared_Hitless]

I just have limited confidence in us beating Kentucky. I was very confident in us beating KState and that did not turn out so well. I think with Gay and Autry back our defense is going to play well. If Tommy is Healthy we may squeeze out a win.

Heart=
MSU 31 KY 17

Head=
MSU 20 KY 24

Hope I am wrong.

[ShotgunDawg]

Oh yeah, we'll play lights out this weekend and score 35 points only to go to Auburn next week and not gain 200 yards.

[Pollodawg]

If Stevens plays like he did the first two games of the year, State will win.

[Coursesuper]

Heart says I hope we do. Head says 28-17 Kentucky.

[Homedawg]

The only way we score 41 is if it goes 7 overtimes

Gotta be negative********

[Bothrops]

Will Dantzler and Gibson be cleared?

[ATTILLA THE DOG]

Uk 27 State 13, they are mighty tough on the oline and have 2 good backs,the big 6-5 240 pound wr. Will be a handful. They are big on the dline as well,two big ole ng's. I think they will simply out physical us. Hope I am wrong.

[wild_dawg]

It'll be interesting to see what the crowd is like. Bulldog bash, and the first SEC opponent should help. A good and electric crowd would make it tough for UK's qb being its his first start in an SEC environment.

[sleepy dawg]

I have no freakin idea to be honest. I am completely perplexed. I'll be there cheering like hell till the bitter end either way.

[NCDawg]

KY 38- State 24. I'm afraid their OL is going to whip our DL, and they are going to complete a lot passes. I haven't seen anything yet out of this team that gives me a lot of confidence.

[BrunswickDawg]

KY 38- State 24. I'm afraid their OL is going to whip our DL, and they are going to complete a lot passes. I haven't seen anything yet out of this team that gives me a lot of confidence.

I am actually the reverse - I think our DL did pretty well this past weekend containing KSUs run game and will be ok, and I think our DBs can handle their WR. It's all about what personnel we have available on offense and can we generate points.

[msstate7]

I'm really worried about Kentucky's persistence with the running game and trying to cover Bowden. I'm a homer though, so I'll go... state 21 Kentucky 17

[RocketDawg]

Don't know if we'll win or not. We should have a much nicer crowd though. It's our first SEC game, and it'll be cooler (at least not as hot). Kentucky looked pretty good Saturday night but just couldn't finish. I'll go with MSU, but it's possible we don't win.

[Cooterpoot]

I?m torn. Last year we seemed to play better after a floundering game like last week. But we just aren?t very good and Jones is still our ST coach. I?m leaning towards a loss.

[BogeyGolfer]

I say we win and cover the 6.5.

I expect autry and gay to play and Tommy to be closer to 100% at least. Hope Dantzler and Gibson are ready too. Prob not on Parker.

UK 42 State 24

[Cooterpoot]

We lose to KY, this is going to really snowball on us.

[dantheman4248]

I?m torn. Last year we seemed to play better after a floundering game like last week. But we just aren?t very good and Jones is still our ST coach. I?m leaning towards a loss.

Is it weird I would be more confident in our ability to beat Auburn again if we lost this week?

[confucius say]

Is it weird I would be more confident in our ability to beat Auburn again if we lost this week?

Yes

[Saltydog]

I'll be surprised if we beat them. They are simply more physical and they now expect to beat us.

[Dawgcap]

31-17 us

[Pollodawg]

We went from 7-in-a-row owning UK to being blown out by them. Yeah, everuthing’s cool. No reason to panic.

[msstate7]

We went from 7-in-a-row owning UK to being blown out by them. Yeah, everuthing?s cool. No reason to panic.

Wasn't 7 in a row. Mullen went 8-1 vs them, but did lose in 2016

[BrunswickDawg]

Forgot about a loss in '16 there didn't you?

[dawgday166]

I don't think we beat KY unless we have an AU type game plan. Not holding my breath on that one.

[bluelightstar]

Forgot about a loss in '16 there didn't you?

Considering we won in '09, '10, '11, '12, '13, '14, and '15, I don't think he did... And Mullen's 1 loss was on a field goal as time expired; Moorhead's loss was 28-7 and ended with Kentucky taking a knee on our 3 yard line.

[msstate7]

Good point

For all wondering how that translates to this year. If we lose Fire Moorhead I told you he sucks. If we win it will be that’s a shitty Kentucky team. Wait till Auburn. He will suck then!
The man has coached 16 games with tremendous talent. I think we are 2-3 wins behind where I would like just like most but the hatred of him and his coaching is amazing. Is he recruiting? Yes!! Overlook a few growing pains with young athletes and previous coaches players. He just might build a program.
To be honest we will know by the end of this year or n

[confucius say]

I think if TS is healthy we are a good, 8-4 type team. How quickly we forget how great TS looked before the shoulder injury. Shotgun even said he was a better pure passer than Dak.

Lets just see if TS is 90-100% this week before anybody gives up on this team. Hailstate!

[Pollodawg]

Wasn't 7 in a row. Mullen went 8-1 vs them, but did lose in 2016

He did lose to them in 16, but it was seven?in-a-roe before that. Maybe I worded it odd, but the point stands....

[msstate7]

Yep, bluestar pointed it out. Apologies

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

State 45 UK 20

[Todd4State]

I doubt we get into the 40's offensively. With an injury prone QB I bet we try to run it a good bit with Kylin and try to shorten the game.

I want to see us come out with some fire as a team and play hard for four quarters more than anything.

[Bdawg]

Tommy better be 100% to pull this win out. If we get the KY team that played physical against Florida, we may be in trouble. K state just whipped us in the trenches for most of that game and I don't believe they are as good as KY. Better hope for a let down after a demoralizing loss when they had FL beat(similar to us). Receivers have to catch, OL has to block better, passes have to be more on target, and special teams have to have a freaking pulse. Lot if things have to improve before I see us pulling out a win. I hope like hell we come out more motivated and ready to blow the top off Davis Wade, cause we sure didn't last week. Both teams need this win desperately. This game will show me if we have any hair on our nuts and leaders on this team or if we can just sack this season up and throw it in the trash. Team who wants it the most wins. I sure hope we come out and prove it's us!!! Go dawgs.

[Sparrows2]

Was that the same Mullen that lost to Ky at Florida?
Wasn?t the streak there 31 in a row?
Asking for a friend

[bluelightstar]

S&P projects a 14-point win (larger than K-State).

[Homedawg]

Yep same Mullen that's 1-0 against JM. On the road.

[Captain Falcon]

If Tommy plays and is healthy enough to have a decent game, we should win. If he's unable to pass the ball well, based on the shoulder or just not having a good game, we'll probably get beat.

[Duckdog]

Even if TS is 100% WHEN he gets hit real hard which will happen he's going to get hurt again

[BulldogBear]

My hands are in the air like I don't care. But I do. Win or lose....how we do so will be, I believe, a good barometer of our head coach. This CFB season has actually been a little unpredictable everywhere. The way it is going don't be surprised if we run KY off the field or vice versa (a nice or not nice 37-10 type of score). But I actually believe we bounce back and win something by less common sounding score. I'll go State wins 26-22.

But I stress how this goes down will tell us something about the future. Win 26-22 when it clearly should/could have been 37-10 and I won't be very optimistic about JoMo here, not that I am now. Lose close when we clearly should get blown out and that should tell us something too.

[MagicDawg]

If our offense stays so-so
And our defense stays slow-mo
Then I want no-mo JoMo.
I'm rapidly running out
of benefits of the doubt.

[Jack Lambert]

He did lose to them in 16, but it was seven?in-a-roe before that. Maybe I worded it odd, but the point stands....

I just want to add the record is 23-23. A lot of coaches at Miss State has lost to them including JWS who lost to KY five times. He's my favorite coach of all time. The two time Bellard faced them he lost. He's my second favorite coach.

I will give we have a forfeit in that 23 and that forfeit gave them the SEC championship. One more then we have.

[StateDawg44]

Yep same Mullen that's 1-0 against JM. On the road.


By this logic you are saying Mullen is a better coach than Urban Meyer.

[LC Dawg]

I think we need a healthy Stevens and a healthy o-line to win Saturday and I'm afraid we won't have these.

[Dental Dawg33]

I’ve always been an overly optimistic State fan. If we play soft like I’ve been seeing lately, no we won’t win. I don’t have a warm, fuzzy feeling about this game. But I’ll be cheering like hell for the dawgs.

[biggun]

I think we need a healthy Stevens and a healthy o-line to win Saturday and I'm afraid we won't have these.

Which OLinemen are hurt? Are they out or just banged up? We need our OL to really step up Saturday

[LC Dawg]

Which OLinemen are hurt? Are they out or just banged up? We need our OL to really step up Saturday

Parker and Williams are both banged up. I don't know if they play or not Saturday but we've used a lot of different combinations of o-line this year and I think that has hurt us. A banged up line with a banged up qb is not a good combination.

[PMDawg]

I say we win and cover the 6.5.

I expect autry and gay to play and Tommy to be closer to 100% at least. Hope Dantzler and Gibson are ready too. Prob not on Parker.

I don't think we will. They have a good defense. Should look a lot like last year.

[NCDawg]

I'm more concerned now about our defense than I am our offense. Kansas State ran through gaping holes in our defense. We need another good hard hitting LB to go with our one. I'm concerned about our pass defense also. Too many guys getting wide open against us.

[dawgoneyall]

No.

[parabrave]

I see alot of picks being made based upon TS injury status. 1st question I have is what part of his shoulder is injured? Is it his Rotater Cuff or is is just minor inflammation. Before I made a guess or a bet I'd sure want to know. Standing up there and saying he feels better isn't much to go on.

[Pollodawg]

I’ll say this: At the end of year two, you almost always know what you have in a HC. Ed-O at LSU. Mullen won 9 games in year two, and, guess what, he was an 8-9 win head coach. Dabo Swinney won the ACC in year two. Gus Malzahn, won 8 games in year two. He’s an eight win head coach. Saban won the division in year two. If go 6-6 of 5-7......

What really concerns me about Moorhead is that he just doesn’t fit here. He’d be ok at an Iowa, Iowa State, Minnesota—one of those Mid-West State Schools.

If it doesn’t work out with Jo, we need to throw the check book at the offense coordinator at LSU. It’s been little short of a miracle what he’s done there.

Steve Ensminger? You have got to be effin kidding.

Steve Ensminger? You have got to be effin kidding.

I think he means Joe Brady

[Pollodawg]

I think he means Joe Brady

This. Why not?

[HoopsDawg]

S&P projects a 14-point win (larger than K-State).

That's a pretty big margin between S&P and Vegas. Usually the computers and the point spreads are closer. 14 fav for computers, 6.5 for Vegas. We should clearly win this game by a TD.

[timotheus]

Well we can hope. there is a bunch of hoping going around now anyways

[pilldawg]

I say we win and cover the 6.5.

I expect autry and gay to play and Tommy to be closer to 100% at least. Hope Dantzler and Gibson are ready too. Prob not on Parker.

We just aren?t very good on the DL and Kentucky is a better football team right now. MSU just can?t recover in one year from losing what we lost. That being said, once we add the JUCO DL to this young group, we will be good fairly quick. We are very average at the skill positions on offense. A problem that should start to be addressed in next year?s recruiting class too.

[BrunswickDawg]

This. Why not?

You want to hire a 29 year old kid with virtually no experience to to run an SEC program? That is laughable.

[Pollodawg]

Not necessarily I guess. But something turned that offense around.

[Goldendawg]

If we score more points than them, we will win.*** My son and I will be there no matter the weather. Hail State!

We looked hopeless against them last year before we lost last year's players!

Need your picks sooner so I can know what to bet on the O/U. Two weeks in a row, 0 points off with exact scores, 1 point off of exact scores with teams flipped. Wild.
