Mississippi State vs Kentucky Game Thread

[ShotgunDawg]

T-minus 1.5 hours till kickoff.

I want see us throw quicker passes early in the game tonight to the RBs and WRs until KY is forced to come up on our WRs and utilizes LBs to stop passes to the RBs.

Will be terribly disappointed if we come out flat tonight after laying a turn last week

[BeardoMSU]

Need some redemption. STAT!

[KOdawg1]

I have no expectations for this game. We could blow them out, they could blow us out, or it could be a nail biter in either direction. It all comes down to KJ making the right reads and not turning the ball over.

[BorneDawg]

If KJ turns it over tonight do you think we will see a change?

[msstate7]

What's the weather look like? Field soaked?

[ShotgunDawg]

If KJ turns it over tonight do you think we will see a change?

Depends on what comes with the turnovers.

If they're LSU type turnovers while we're running up and down the field, then no.

If they're Arkansas type turnovers, then I could see Rogers getting a series to see how it goes.

[ShotgunDawg]

What's the weather look like? Field soaked?

Supposedly it's dry now, but that'll likely change.

[Hambone]

Been sprinkling off and on all day. Field is wet.

Will Rogers and Brad Cumbest are dressed out.

[msstate7]

Washington sees a lot of rain, so I'm gonna assume this system can be successful in the rain. Hopefully our guys can catch a wet ball

[RougeDawg]

Turnovers have cost us about 20 point swings in each of the last two games. Just cutting that down to 10 points a game and we are undefeated and probably ranked around number 12. Just think about that and keep everything in context.

We aren’t as good as everyone thought after LSU game. But we are not as bad as the team that showed up last week. Today will be a good indicator of what the team really is.

[ShotgunDawg]

Washington sees a lot of rain, so I'm gonna assume this system can be successful in the rain. Hopefully our guys can catch a wet ball

Pulman is dry because it's on the backside of the Cascades.

However, YES, Wazzou had to play all the time in Seattle, Corvallis, and Eugene where it rains nearly every day

[ShotgunDawg]

James Jackson starting tonight. Will be interesting to see if that fixes some protection issues.

I knew after Pittman bragged on Smith last week, it was going to be Arkansas' plan to exploit him

https://twitter.com/bportnoy15/status/1315065628294692869?s=20

[parabrave]

If KJ turns it over tonight do you think we will see a change?

Nope.

[Jarius]

What's the weather look like? Field soaked?

Weather is good. Field is pretty dry.

[msstate7]

Weather is good. Field is pretty dry.

Good news

[BrunswickDawg]

Pig about to burn down the Barn - can they hold on with 5 to play??

[KOdawg1]

I'm not too worried about the field. My biggest worry is that it'll start raining and it'll be tough to grip the ball.

[RougeDawg]

I'm not too worried about the field. My biggest worry is that it'll start raining and it'll be tough to grip the ball.

My biggest concern is the charity TD per game that KJ keeps donating. Eliminate those and we win and would be undefeated.

[KOdawg1]

My biggest concern is the charity TD per game that KJ keeps donating. Eliminate those and we win and would be undefeated.

Yeah he can't have another pick6

[ShotgunDawg]

Yeah he can't have another pick6

Has a QB ever thrown a pick 6 in 3 straight games?

[RocketDawg]

Announcers are not at the game. Don't know about other games today.

[KOdawg1]

Has a QB ever thrown a pick 6 in 3 straight games?

The NFL record is 3 by Matt Schaub

[ShotgunDawg]

Run defense better pick it up

[MedDawg]

QB was a little short of the first down on that 3rd down run. His elbow landed then he stretched forward.

[msstate7]

Good stop

[ShotgunDawg]

kY just false started 3 times

[KOdawg1]

Defense didn't break. Good job

[msstate7]

Crap

[ShotgunDawg]

We got a good roll there. At the 5 but could've been at the 1

[magrooder]

96 yard drive coming up.

[parabrave]

Good start D/

[RocketDawg]

Good stop, but we're starting inside our own 5.

[msstate7]

OM already up 7-0

[ShotgunDawg]

Defense didn't break. Good job

If you can stop KY on 1st down, you got them

[defiantdog]

Arkansas just got hosed

[parabrave]

And Kiffen breaks it off in Saban. At least he scored 1st.

[RocketDawg]

OM already up 7-0

Not surprising seeing how games have gone today.

[KOdawg1]

And there goes Kylin on the first damn play

[ShotgunDawg]

Wow, ESPN just had Costello's bio as 6'2" and from TX

[msstate7]

Has hill played 2 plays in a row, ever?

[parabrave]

Well KY limps off the field.

[ShotgunDawg]

2 drops by Gardner. Awesome

[KOdawg1]

2 drops on one drive.

[Matt3467]

Kylin is very fragile. Been that way every year. Good back but injury concerns will hold him back at the next level.

[msstate7]

Costello going for another pick 6

[ShotgunDawg]

Terrible possession

[magrooder]

Costello is floating the ball, no zip on his throws at all.

[DownwardDawg]

18 can't catch Covid at a Trump rally.

[ShotgunDawg]

Costello is throwing ducks tonight

[msstate7]

2 drops by Gardner. Awesome

2nd one was Costello. That pass was lucky it wasn't int

[Bdawg]

Has hill played 2 plays in a row, ever?

It's starting to get annoying now

[magrooder]

They are giving KY good spots on those 3rd down runs.

[DownwardDawg]

2nd one was Costello. That pass was lucky it wasn't int

Yet it landed in BOTH his hands

[ShotgunDawg]

Good play by Murphy

[msstate7]

Got lucky there

[msstate7]

Yet it landed in BOTH his hands

Yeah, I think he was going into DB mode and it happen to get thru to him. Should've caught it, but I blame Costello for that much more

[KOdawg1]

Our defense is showing up so far.

[SailingDawg]

Who is #15 on defense?

[msstate7]

Great job, D

[BeardoMSU]

This D is soooo shitty**

[parabrave]

Def is doing their job. Come on Off get you shi^ together.

[magrooder]

Who is #15 on defense?

Jack Harris redshirt freshman

[Cooterpoot]

I predict we see Rogers and Tulu tonight.

[msstate7]

OM is gashing Bama, and Bama is gashing OM.

[msstate7]

Keep moving chains

[msstate7]

Why shuttle when they aren't bringing pressure?

[parabrave]

Hey its a 1st down.

[ShotgunDawg]

This look like JoMo all over again. STOP FALSE STARTING

[ShotgunDawg]

This looks like crap

[KOdawg1]

It's like Joe Moorhead never left

[magrooder]

That is a terrible pass. Lucky it wasn't another pick 6

[Cooterpoot]

We're a shit show on offense. KJ looks awful and no runs again.

[Bothrops]

Ugh

[SailingDawg]

Can't make the receivers wait on the ball.

[Bdawg]

Is Costello's arm hurt? Throw the dang ball.

[msstate7]

Costello either doesn't have enough arm, or he has no idea of sec speed

[BrunswickDawg]

Day just flipped the field

[ShotgunDawg]

Our offense looks like it hasn't practiced this week.

Looks the same as it did vs Ark

[Bothrops]

Procedure penalties are becoming a problem

[Statecoachingblows**]

KJ's passes just look weird

[msstate7]

That is a terrible pass. Lucky it wasn't another pick 6

He's thrown 2 ints tonight if the defense were good

[ShotgunDawg]

We literally look like we have no answer for teams dropping coverage.

[Statecoachingblows**]

Helluva kick

[mparkerfd20]

Pull KJ. He sux ass

[Bothrops]

Costello either doesn't have enough arm, or he has no idea of sec speed

It's his mind.

[msstate7]

We literally look like we have no answer for teams dropping coverage.

Shuttle pass vs a team bringing no pressure. That was such a clown call

[Irondawg]

On the initial 3rd and 2 we should have had an easy conversion as in the formation they didn’t have anyone to account for Hill on the edge.

We gotta clean up these false starts though

[parabrave]

And our best Off player kicks a big one/. Matt is saying that something is wrong with Costellos release, he might be having problems with a wet ball.

[Cooterpoot]

Helluva kick

Back decision by the return man. Should've fair caught it.

[Really Clark?]

I need to go back a watch LSU game again but man it looks like KJ’s throws don’t have near the velocity at times. When he needed it in the first game he had the strength but it doesn’t look like he can put as much zip on the ball since second half last week for sure. Maybe I’m wrong but just wondering if he is having some sort of arm problem

[PGHBulldogBG]

We are out of sync need to throw in a running play once in awhile

[Bothrops]

KJ's passes just look weird

I kinda agree

[TNDawg35]

We literally look like we have no answer for teams dropping coverage.

No.... The receivers are open and have been. Drops and KJ ?placing? the damn ball. He is scared to let it go all of a sudden. That?s why everything is coming out a duck or he is just floating it...

[ShotgunDawg]

Our defense is bad ass

Things I never thought I'd say this year

[magrooder]

Safety boys. Good job D

[msstate7]

Was that backwards?

[Statecoachingblows**]

Man this defense has been a pleasant surprise

[Really Clark?]

Yes!! Go defense!! Y’all have come to play hard all year.

[TrapGame]

Safety.

Yeah this defense is shit**

[KOdawg1]

That's a catch, and then a fumble

[Cooterpoot]

Air Raid defense scores!

[RocketDawg]

2-0. Not sure he caught it.

[msstate7]

That's probably gonna be incomplete. Did he make a football move?

[ShotgunDawg]

Forbes is a 17ing player

[parabrave]

There we go D.

[ShotgunDawg]

That's probably gonna be incomplete. Did he make a football move?

Not enough to overturn

[Cooterpoot]

He took two steps

[msstate7]

Forbes is a 17ing player

I'm shocked he's on the field this quick. He looked so small in HS last year

[magrooder]

Bullshit. He caught it and was moving forward.

[ShotgunDawg]

Awful awful call. HOW? is that overturned?

[KOdawg1]

BULLSHIT

[RocketDawg]

Back to 0-0

[parabrave]

Air Raid defense scores!

Winner

[TrapGame]

That's a safety if we're Auburn.**

[Cooterpoot]

Shitty officials

[LC Dawg]

Horseshit overrule.

[ShotgunDawg]

Bullshit. He caught it and was moving forward.

Completely robbed. Terrible. No evidence to overturn

[mparkerfd20]

Bull fuc king shit!!!! Fumble all day

[Really Clark?]

That’s hard to overturn.

[Statecoachingblows**]

D still more impressive than the O

[msbulldog]

We wuz robbed like Ark.

[msstate7]

D, again

[KOdawg1]

Our defense is badass

[ShotgunDawg]

Great job defense but that's bullshit.

Completely terrible job by the refs. Makes no sense.

What in the hell did they see to overturn?

[ShotgunDawg]

Good job by Williams there

[R2Dawg]

Back to 0-0

Home cooking officiating already. They have to fix the catch no catch stuff. He caught the ball turned up field and fumbled. Original call was correct.

[ShotgunDawg]

There's the play I wrote about. Dump to RB quick

[ShotgunDawg]

We got the right game plan on this drive. quick passes

[KOdawg1]

No flag?

[ShotgunDawg]

No flag for their guy ripping Mitchell's helmet off?

What is this?

[KOdawg1]

Get Mitchell's ass out of there

[ShotgunDawg]

Their DBs came up on our Wrs and we ran the ball. Ugh

[Cooterpoot]

I'm embarrassed by our run blocking. This offense can't survive like that.

[ShotgunDawg]

Awesome play Kylin

[mparkerfd20]

Please pull KJ

[TrapGame]

Kylin just bailed us out.

[magrooder]

Great catch by Hill. Hurt again tho

[Bothrops]

Damn poor Kylin

[Bdawg]

Duck your head and go Kylin. And what and awful throw by Costello to Kylin.

[RocketDawg]

Nice job by Costello and Hill there. But Hill is hurt again ...

[KOdawg1]

This is pitiful

[ShotgunDawg]

Kylin can't take a hit

This is embarassing

[ShotgunDawg]

This offense is a 100% shit show right now

[magrooder]

Holy shit. We can't block 3 with five????

[Cooterpoot]

This damn offensive line is trash

[parabrave]

Do we have anyone who can snap the ball?

[RocketDawg]

That's at least 3 false starts for us.

[bobtail bob]

Kylie has the durability of glass Joe

[Matt3467]

Kylin can't take a hit

This is embarassing

Yea what i wouldn't give for a Dixon or Ballard type of back again. Hill is a porcelain doll.

[defiantdog]

Our OL sucks

[KOdawg1]

Why is Cam Gardner still even in the game

[msstate7]

Take 18 out the game

[ShotgunDawg]

Leach should be embarrassed with this product

[DownwardDawg]

Who is our center??!!

[mparkerfd20]

We are our own worst enemy. This O isn't going to work in the S3C with KJ

[msstate7]

Kylie has the durability of glass Joe

I'm ready to just move on from him. He plays 1 snap, and sits 2-3

[KOdawg1]

And Tulu isn't better than that guy?

[Cooterpoot]

We won't win more than one more game with this kind of performance.

[ShotgunDawg]

We are our own worst enemy. This O isn't going to work in the S3C with KJ

Too early to say that, but we clearly have a long way to go

[parabrave]

Did Moorhead come back and Coach?

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm ready to just move on from him. He plays 1 snap, and sits 2-3

yeah. it's pretty bad

[3rdGen]

Leach should be embarrassed with this product


100% . Embarrassing

[State82]

What in the 17 are we doing out there? We look like a junior high girls volleyball team.

[Statecoachingblows**]

So exactly how bad is LSU? This is rough

[99jc]

Did Moorhead come back and Coach?

thats exactly what it looks like.

[Bdawg]

Leach should be embarrassed with this product

Well to be fair, these aren't his players and he can't make them execute. That's on the players

[ShotgunDawg]

If we don't figure it out, Ole Miss will run up the score on us

[R2Dawg]

Boy didn't expect this, we look like Arky last 2 years.

[99jc]

C34 can suck it....the defense is not bad.

[Lord McBuckethead]

No idea what our focus is. We refuse to run the ball north and south. We have 3 drps. We have 2 bad snaps. We have 3 false starts. And kylin hobbles off the field literally every play. He needs to stop turning backwards everytime he is about to get hit.

[ShotgunDawg]

And Kylin drops the ball.

Just opt out. You know you want to

[Matt3467]

yeah. it's pretty bad

The last solid back we've had here since Robinson was Aeris Williams. Not the same talent as Hill obviously but was dependable. Solid.

[R2Dawg]

If we don't figure it out, Ole Miss will run up the score on us

We gonna get torched. All we can do is run for 1 yard and throw for 3. Not sure we can beat Vandy.

[Lord McBuckethead]

If we don't figure it out, Ole Miss will run up the score on us

Ole miss is going to score a bunch on us. Not sure we can answer at the moment.

[msstate7]

Lol @ this offense.

[TrapGame]

KJ looks like ass.

[Bothrops]

Last two times in Lexington we've been in a fog.

[ShotgunDawg]

With the way our defense is playing, I don't like trying a 56 yard FG

[Lord McBuckethead]

The last solid back we've had here since Robinson was Aeris Williams. Not the same talent as Hill obviously but was dependable. Solid.

I always argue he was better. Always steady.

[HoopsDawg]

Take 18 out the game

We have Shavers, Osirus, and Heath on the outside. Why are we playing 18?

[KOdawg1]

Sloppy. Unprepared. Soft.

It's like Joe Moorhead is still here.

[ShotgunDawg]

Last two times in Lexington we've been in a fog.

It's strange. It's like this team lost everything after LSU

[KOdawg1]

Meanwhile, OM just went up on Alabama 14-7

[ShotgunDawg]

Ole Miss may take Bama to the wire tonight

[Bothrops]

Ole Miss just drove 95 yards for a td, and we can't even try a pass down field anymore.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Still kind of lissed they took away the safety.

[Lord McBuckethead]

It's strange. It's like this team lost everything after LSU

All it would take is 3 good catches. Team looks like they are all afraid to get hit.

[ShotgunDawg]

Still kind of lissed they took away the safety.

That was crap. There was no evidence

[RocketDawg]

And Kylin drops the ball.

Just opt out. You know you want to

I think you're right. Opt out and not get hurt. Let somebody else play.

[defiantdog]

They rush 3 and use a 4th to blitz and he gets through 5 OL..... I thought they were supposed to be our strength

[Matt3467]

Well to be fair, these aren't his players and he can't make them execute. That's on the players

Yea I agree. These players have sat under a couple years of Moorhead and with the way 2020 it's understandable. Give him a few years and we'll be a consistent winner. Leach has proven that everywhere he's been. I believe his first 2 years at his previous stops were rough as well.

[99jc]

this is totally on the players right now not Leach.

[KOdawg1]

Piss poor

[ShotgunDawg]

WTF would we try a 56 yards FG?

Just insane

[msstate7]

Lol

What a brain dead decision. Now our defense is in bad spot

[Matt3467]

WTF would we try a 56 yards FG?

Just insane

He was close.

[ShotgunDawg]

Lol

What a brain dead decision. Now our defense is in bad spot

yeah. Lack of feel for the game there

[msstate7]

this is totally on the players right now not Leach.

Nah, leach isn't responsible for putting players in position to win

[parabrave]

Just put Schrader in and tell him to run the ball. The D isn't going to last another 10 mins.

[State82]

With the way our defense is playing, I don't like trying a 56 yard FG
Yeah that was stupid.

[ShotgunDawg]

Our defense is better than Ole Miss'. I know that

[Quaoarsking]

Lol

What a brain dead decision. Now our defense is in bad spot

Stop. No one should ever punt from the 38, ever.

[magrooder]

Good sack by Tyrus Wheat

[msstate7]

Man, this D tho

[Cooterpoot]

17 you Mike Leach!

[ShotgunDawg]

Good lord. That's awful defense

[TrapGame]

Well, damn.

[KOdawg1]

Why didn't we have a spy on him? Holy shit.

[msstate7]

Running qb... let's leave the middle of the field wide open against a guy that can't throw

[Matt3467]

The dline wayyyy overran that. Ridiculous.

[ShotgunDawg]

Kentucky doesn't throw well enough to beat you on 3rd and 13. Why leave the QB a running lane?

[magrooder]

Well crap. We always have that WTF play on D.

[defiantdog]

Forbes took a horrible angle on that long run

[ShotgunDawg]

We suck.

Our football team sucks

That's all on Leach for attempting a stupid 56 yards FG for no reason

[parabrave]

Hey KJ see what happens when you run hard.

[msstate7]

Leach let them have great field position.

[KOdawg1]

Our defense is better than Ole Miss'. I know that

Our offense isn't

[Cooterpoot]

We are one of the worst two teams in the SEC right now. Jesus this is shitastic football.

[Statecoachingblows**]

Offense has to give the D some help

[Quaoarsking]

We suck.

Our football team sucks

That's all on Leach for attempting a stupid 56 yards FG for no reason

It was too long to go for it, and punting from the 38 is an insta-fire for any coach in any situation.

[Lord McBuckethead]

And we are down.

[ShotgunDawg]

We are one of the worst two teams in the SEC right now. Jesus this is shitastic football.

It's really bad. We look like we don't practice and then we attempt 56 yard FGs for no reason.

Just complete lack of feel for the game

[msstate7]

We suck.

Our football team sucks

That's all on Leach for attempting a stupid 56 yards FG for no reason

Probably bc he was criticized for passing on FGs last week, so he showed us. Wouldn't doubt a bit that was a spiteful attempt

[PGHBulldogBG]

I?m beginning to think my B rating was too high with this fool as our coach

[RocketDawg]

They're fired up in Oxford. OM might win this game.

[BhamDawg]

I?m over this experiment. Another terrible hire by Cohen.

[KOdawg1]

I don't get why on 3rd and long, you bring the house and leave the middle of the field wide open for a scrambling QB.

[defiantdog]

Murphy caught flat footed and Craft forgot to blitz there

[ShotgunDawg]

It was too long to go for it, and punting from the 38 is an insta-fire for any coach in any situation.

But your defense is playing well. I just don't think a 56 yard FG is reasonable option

[99jc]

ole miss is better than us this year no doubt,.

[msstate7]

Stop. No one should ever punt from the 38, ever.

Yeah, worked out great

[msu15]

That shot of KJ says it all

[99jc]

I?m over this experiment. Another terrible hire by Cohen.

Stop it!

[parabrave]

Usually I would say thats ok we will get that back, But this year I don't think this guy can get it done.

[R2Dawg]

We suck.

Our football team sucks

That's all on Leach for attempting a stupid 56 yards FG for no reason

Kick wasn't the issue, D was playing well till a really dumb gamble on 3rd and long. Coaching, coaching, coaching. Got to keep someone to watch a running QB

[HoopsDawg]

Murphy caught flat footed and Craft forgot to blitz there

I was wondering if anyone saw that.

[Bdawg]

WTF would we try a 56 yards FG?

Just insane

Now this is something I blame leach on. Our D is playing great and he kinda screwed them there. Of course I guess he thought our D is playing great so I can chance it. We just can't let Terry loose like that.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Looks like 8 in coverage does in fact 17 the air raid in the ass.

[Matt3467]

We suck.

Our football team sucks

That's all on Leach for attempting a stupid 56 yards FG for no reason

Our kicker is good enough to make that. Heck he nearly did. Not a dumb call. We have big problems but calling a fg there isn't one of them.

[msstate7]

ole miss is better than us this year no doubt,.

Kiffin is ouT coaching leach, and it isn't close so far

[msugolf]

What a great hire this was. Mickey Mouse shit offense. Cohen's an idiot thinking he can make us a finesse passing team. Just soft soft soft

[msstate7]

Our kicker is good enough to make that. Heck he nearly did. Not a dumb call. We have big problems but calling a few there isn't one of them.

End of half or end of game only

[Bothrops]

Thing is, all it might take is a one positive drive and a touchdown and we could manage from there on.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I was wondering if anyone saw that.

Yep. Everyone expecting someone else to make the plays.

[R2Dawg]

Olemiss beating Bama 14-7 Upset alert.

[99jc]

This game is far from over but its not looking good so far

[Quaoarsking]

Yeah, worked out great

Well you can say anything in hindsight. If we miss a 21 yard field goal, are you going to come on here and be like "Lulz we shoulda punted!!" ?

[Cooterpoot]

It was too long to go for it, and punting from the 38 is an insta-fire for any coach in any situation.

You don't give up that kind of field position. Pooch punt it.

[ShotgunDawg]

Offense has to answer here

[msstate7]

Come on Costello
