Dawgs vs. Dawgs Game Thread

[ShotgunDawg]

Man, our pass rush is nonexistant

[HoopsDawg]

Was that RJ Jennings out there at LB? Walk on Senior.

[KOdawg1]

Another drop

[msstate7]

Corners are so dumb sometimes. Doing that incomplete on a drop lol

[RocketDawg]

Not sure what Emerson was self-cheering there.

[ShotgunDawg]

Whew. We're playing on the edge

[BrunswickDawg]

Emerson, stop talking shit, he dropped it
Replay showed Emerson got a hand on it

[Bdawg]

Emerson, stop talking shit, he dropped it

I thought he knocked it out of his hands

[R2Dawg]

Massive holding on Spencer.

[HoopsDawg]

Forbes with a breakdown but the holding call saves us.

[msstate7]

Obvious hold. Refs have called this game very well

[ShotgunDawg]

Terrible hold on their RT

[Irondawg]

boy since the phantom PI call the officials have called a pretty fair game

[ShotgunDawg]

They're gonna throw deep here

[BeardoMSU]

3rd and ****ing 20. Jeez.

[KOdawg1]

Welp. Ballgame.

[R2Dawg]

Daniels is good. Deep ball has killed us.

[RocketDawg]

It had to happen eventually with those long passes. TD Georgia.

[HoopsDawg]

Wow, surprised we sold out on 3rd and 20. Bad call by Arnett.

[Irondawg]

that the second time that's happened and it's been Preston BOTH times

[ShotgunDawg]

How?

I mean how?

That is the worst defense I've ever seen

[RocketDawg]

OK - we just need a drive and score again.

[PGHBulldogBG]

That actually is on Arnett. 3rd and 20 can?t give that up

[Irondawg]

But yeah, don't like the call by Arnett - make them go short and kick the FG

[msstate7]

I've often wondered what I would look like covering an sec wr. I no longer have to wonder... it would look just like that

[mparkerfd20]

GD it. ****ing 3 and 20

[Matt3467]

Our D is gassed.

[Bdawg]

Geez Preston. You got to turn and run.

[KOdawg1]

Should've played it safe and kept them in front of us with it being 3rd and 20. A FG is better than a TD there

[Matt3467]

That actually is on Arnett. 3rd and 20 can?t give that up

No that is on Preston

[99jc]

that one is on Arnett should have been in zone.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Very miss state right there

[R2Dawg]

Obvious hold. Refs have called this game very well

Agree; I thought they were gonna miss it at first. Good called game except for a couple PI calls

Emerson is a good CB.

[ShotgunDawg]

That was the most embarrassing defensive play since Corral's bomb last year in the Egg Bowl. Just terrible fundamentals, call, etc

[msstate7]

We've got beat on 3rd and long playing coverage too. Damned if you do...

[Saltydog]

We couldn?t cover a statue.....

[defiantdog]

No that is on Preston
He's gassed..... He's been in on every play.

[MaroonFlounder]

Emerson, stop talking shit, he dropped it

No he didn't. Emerson knocked the ball out.

[BeardoMSU]

Daniels is good. Deep ball has killed us.

Let's hold off on calling this guy good. He's just heaving it downfield, and it's 1 of 2 outcomes: a wide-open completion, or a PI call from the refs. Our secondary is atrocious, and I don't blame them, given the circumstances, but it is what it is. Georgia has done us a huge solid by insisting on running the ball all game....not quite sure why they haven't been slingin' it.

[chef dixon]

No that is on Preston

No it ain't. You don't send the house on 3rd and 20 with a gassed defense

[Irondawg]

Our safeties are decent in run support but are really poor against the pass - I'll be interested to see who all is back there next year.

Not having Murphy today is turning out to be way bigger than I thought.

[PGHBulldogBG]

How do you let that happen. Let them try a FG and back everyone up

[Quaoarsking]

If we can score on this drive, you go for 2, right? Not that we're a great short yardage team, but take the shot.

[Bdawg]

And yes, everyone is right. Bad call Arnett

[99jc]

Very miss state right there

why dont you all shut the 17 up saying this!

[HoopsDawg]

No that is on Preston

bro, Preston had no chance.

[Matt3467]

I could tell from the start of the play watching our LBs blitz they looked tired and one stumbled. Preston just a man on an island out there.

[ShotgunDawg]

If we can score on this drive, you go for 2, right? Not that we're a great short yardage team, but take the shot.

Depends on how much time is left.

[BeardoMSU]

If we can score on this drive, you go for 2, right? Not that we're a great short yardage team, but take the shot.

This.

[Matt3467]

bro, Preston had no chance.

Preston stood still and let the guy run right past him.

[defiantdog]

Y'all do realize the defense have no subs in this game right? They're in every play. The fact that they're in it is very impressive.

[R2Dawg]

that one is on Arnett should have been in zone.

Yep, thought Grantham was back.

[Irondawg]

Was just a bad play call and bad execution ....but honestly they should have scored both plays before that

[R2Dawg]

I really like Dillion Johnson. Good looking freshman back.

[ShotgunDawg]

Dillon Johnson is a man

[Irondawg]

We're starting to look gassed across the board

[BeardoMSU]

.but honestly they should have scored both plays before that

True.

[HoopsDawg]

Tulu must only know the screen.

[ShotgunDawg]

Does Tulu only run one route?

[KOdawg1]

Yeah, it's over. Great effort tonight.

[BeardoMSU]

Right tackle got smoked. Damnit.

[HoopsDawg]

I don't think you can punt here.

[ShotgunDawg]

UGA's pass rush has been an issue in the 2nd half. Much better on 3rd down

[Bdawg]

Bad time for our OL to whiff

[RocketDawg]

Could've done without that sack. That was an important play.

[Matt3467]

dont need to punt

[ShotgunDawg]

I don't think you can punt here.

There's 7 min left

[ShotgunDawg]

dont need to punt

You've got to punt there. There's 7 min left

[Matt3467]

There's 7 min left

Different kind of game here. Our D is about dead.

[BayouDawg]

The offense with 4 straight punts is the killer.

[Irondawg]

We just need them to snap one over Daniels head or something. If I were them I'd go play action and go deep all 3 downs here. They'll get one of them.

Our poor D is toast, but they've been warriors tonight

[HoopsDawg]

UGA's pass rush has been an issue in the 2nd half. Much better on 3rd down

Their LB's quit playing so soft. Took away our checkdowns and it has led to 3 straight 3 and outs like we are used to.

[R2Dawg]

Let's hold off on calling this guy good. He's just heaving it downfield, and it's 1 of 2 outcomes: a wide-open completion, or a PI call from the refs. Our secondary is atrocious, and I don't blame them, given the circumstances, but it is what it is. Georgia has done us a huge solid by insisting on running the ball all game....not quite sure why they haven't been slingin' it.

Regardless of our coverage which many times has not been terrible but the balls are right on the money.

[Irondawg]

The bad part about our last few series is we've had good first down plays...then just not made another play

[Bothrops]

Gotta teach db's to watch the hands of the receiver and cover the hands to deflect the incoming ball. They don't get this. Getting beat is one thing but waiting for passes to get to the receiver is another.

[PendingTransaction]

Bad call by Arnett . Worst technique by Preston. But I have to lay it at the feet of Arnett.

[Cooterpoot]

Does Tulu only run one route?

He caught one over the middle that wasn't a screen.

[RocketDawg]

All we need is a fumble on one of their ill-chosen running plays. Could happen.

[HoopsDawg]

There's 7 min left

Ball game chief.

[ShotgunDawg]

Surely we get a Daniels mistake at some point. He's played perfect

[PGHBulldogBG]

The issue is not with this game. It?s with Arkansas and UK games. 4-2 and lose like this it?s a different story

[BayouDawg]

Their LB's quit playing so soft. Took away our checkdowns and it has led to 3 straight 3 and outs like we are used to.

55 was late getting out on that screen to tulu on that last drive. Had it set up.

[Jarius]

No that is on Preston

That is on Arnett. You don?t call cover zero on 3rd and 20. That’s insane. Especially with our secondary.

[Cooterpoot]

Arnett has to know he doesn't have the back end to go zero.

[DownwardDawg]

I'm so proud of the fight in this team tonight. Things are looking up.

[ShotgunDawg]

This reminds me so much of the Bama game in 2017

[HoopsDawg]

Arnett has to know he doesn't have the back end to go zero.

shocking call on 3rd and 20

[msstate7]

3rd and long. What he calling here?

[KOdawg1]

We're not gonna stop them passing.

[Matt3467]

All we needed was for Preston to handle his assignment. We'll have to agree to disagree here.

[Irondawg]

Shoot - 3rd down again!!!! That's been the story of the game - Daniels has been lights out on 3rd down. Much like KJ vs. LSU

[RocketDawg]

This reminds me so much of the Bama game in 2017

Except they haven't had anybody run out of bounds, then run back in and catch the ball to win.

[ShotgunDawg]

Almost had a fumble on that run

[HoopsDawg]

All we needed was for Preston to handle his assignment. We'll have to agree to disagree here.

your asking him to cover a 5 star WR in man to man. He can't do that.

[PGHBulldogBG]

I don?t recall a defense ever being this good on 1st and 2nd down and so bad on 3rd down

[RocketDawg]

They just had their longest run of the game, but it might be called back.

[Offshore Dawg]

Second half is looking like 3rd and Grantham.

[msstate7]

Well that's a huge penalty

[DownwardDawg]

Man our pass D is struggling.

[ShotgunDawg]

A breath of fresh air

[RocketDawg]

Big sack!

[ShotgunDawg]

Well that's a huge penalty

They'll just chuck it deep

[BayouDawg]

Second half is looking like 3rd and Grantham.

You aint lyin

[KOdawg1]

Finally a sack. Please don't let them get behind you

[msstate7]

3rd and a mile. Georgia got this... I wish I were playing

[ShotgunDawg]

here comes the deep bomb

[Matt3467]

your asking him to cover a 5 star WR in man to man. He can't do that.

He was a 4 star. He can be expected to at least be in his vicinity.

[HoopsDawg]

3rd and a mile. Georgia got this... I wish I were playing

Thanks goodness they didn't throw it.

[msstate7]

What a terrible call by uga

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

please don't bltze on 3rd and 28

[ShotgunDawg]

We'll get it back. Score and go for two

[Irondawg]

alright well we have a chance - if we get it you have to go for 2

[RocketDawg]

Well, we get the ball back with 4 minutes left. Go for 2 if we score a TD? I'd say yes.

[Cooterpoot]

Williams has to lead the world in fair catches.

[ShotgunDawg]

Well, we have a shot. That's all we could ask for

[Bdawg]

I don?t recall a defense ever being this good on 1st and 2nd down and so bad on 3rd down

GA stupid enough to run it some on 1st and 2nd down.

[bobtail bob]

Win, lose or draw this has been a hell of a effort. You can do something with these kind of kids

[ShotgunDawg]

Williams has to lead the world in fair catches.

We suck on punt return. He's the only one that can catch, but has no speed.

[KOdawg1]

If you score, you have to go for 2. We're tiring out and won't last in OT.

[BayouDawg]

Williams has to lead the world in fair catches.

Lol I guess its better than leading in muffed punts

[msstate7]

Plenty of time and 90 yards in front of us. Go get em, will

[Quaoarsking]

Go for 2 if we score.

[KOdawg1]

Williams has to lead the world in fair catches.

He's back there to catch the ball. That's it.

[Bdawg]

Well, we get the ball back with 4 minutes left. Go for 2 if we score a TD? I'd say yes.

Hail yes

[defiantdog]

Win, lose or draw this has been a hell of a effort. You can do something with these kind of kids
Completely agree..... these kids want to play. Leach's system may not be a complete bust with players that buy in

[ShotgunDawg]

Go for 2 if we score.

100%. If we lose, we lose on our terms

[Cooterpoot]

We suck on punt return. He's the only one that can catch, but has no speed.

Tulu can. He's done it his whole life. But Williams is the safe guy.

[Matt3467]

I've seen enough muffed punts by our team in recent memory that I'm completely fine with fair catching it every time if it means no more fumbles.

[KOdawg1]

Please protect him OL

[ShotgunDawg]

Tulu can. He's done it his whole life. But Williams is the safe guy.

Hopefully he earns that trust

[msbulldog]

We suck on punt return. He's the only one that can catch, but has no speed.

Shut up don't you criticize anybody on this team.

[KOdawg1]

Bad play call

[BeardoMSU]

Terrible run call, but might get bailed out by GA flag.

[msstate7]

Horizontal runs ain't going anywhere against these guys

[ShotgunDawg]

Bad play call

[KOdawg1]

Whew bailed us out. Please take advantage of this.

[ShotgunDawg]

Ok. Here we go

[msstate7]

Refs screwing us!!!

[BeardoMSU]

Nice flop, lol. I'll happily take it!

[RocketDawg]

Might should have called grounding there ....

[BeardoMSU]

Whew...another gift.

[msstate7]

Whew, ball didn't get to LOS, I don't think

[RocketDawg]

Got a break. Not sure he was outside the box.

[KOdawg1]

We aren't blocking on these screens

[BeardoMSU]

Not a single blocker picked up their guy on that screen....

[ShotgunDawg]

Dang. We just aren't quick enough at WR.

[Matt3467]

I hate screens to Mitchell. He's not quick

[BeardoMSU]

Here comes the game.

[msstate7]

Did will look at anyone besides the swing?

[RocketDawg]

Maybe we can make a 4th down play. Good chance.

[KOdawg1]

Georgia's D is good after timeouts. Has to be a good play call here.

[Irondawg]

Screens to anybody won't work if the guys ahead don't block anybody. We needed to have taken a bigger shot down the field at some point earlier.

[Bdawg]

We aren't blocking on these screens

Yeah everybody hitting air!!

[BayouDawg]

I hate screens to Mitchell. He's not quick
Much rather see them to Payton or walley

[Bdawg]

And OL fails

[defiantdog]

Y'all are so damn critical

[KOdawg1]

Leave it to the OL to blow the game.

[BeardoMSU]

Good job, boys. Helluva game.

[ShotgunDawg]

Well.. shit. We always lose

[HoopsDawg]

Cole Smith can't make the block on the screen and Cross gets whipped on 4th down.

[Irondawg]

Nothing Will could do there - both tackles were beat so badly

[RocketDawg]

Great effort tonight. They looked like a totally different team than the last 5 games. Just not quite enough, but the rest of the season doesn't look hopeless.

[BayouDawg]

Great effort. Played hard but just out manned

[msstate7]

Georgia's D is good after timeouts. Has to be a good play call here.

Yep, said same thing earlier when we called TO on big 3rd. Kirby is the best after a TO

[Matt3467]

Cross was a 5 star?

[ShotgunDawg]

Cole Smith can't make the block on the screen and Cross gets whipped on 4th down.

Cross just got smoked

[ShotgunDawg]

Cross was a 5 star?

I'm guessing the guy that sacked him was as well

[Matt3467]

Oh well whatever I'm proud of this team anyway tonight. Gives hope moving forward.

[MaroonFlounder]

Will the Leach haters continue their bitching? I think he's gonna put it together.

[lastmajordog]

love effort...

[Irondawg]

Yep. nothing exotic from that pass rush - just finally got Cross. Bad time for that to happen and you started seeing that in the 4th quarter. Our OL which was so good through 3 quarters was starting to look gassed in the 4th

[HoopsDawg]

We only had 22 rushing yards but we actually outrushed UGA, lol.

Great effort tonight by the players.

[defiantdog]

**** y'all..... these guys played tonight.

[Bdawg]

Cross was a 5 star?

Yes. He has got to turn into an anchor. A spot you can't worry about when your the qb.

[Commercecomet24]

No moral victories but a lot of good to be taken from this game. If we have our defensive starters out there we win by 10+ points

[Bothrops]

Great effort tonight but we could still lose out this season.

[HancockCountyDog]

Oh well whatever I'm proud of this team anyway tonight. Gives hope moving forward.

Agreed.

[Irondawg]

I don't think anybody on here is denying the effort or isn't proud - just hated to have a chance and then see us hit the wall.

[Cooterpoot]

Cross was a 5 star?

He's a freshman

[MaroonFlounder]

Who is more hated? Mike Leach or Donald Trump?

[Bdawg]

Overall, I loved the effort. Hopefully this is the turning point of the Leach era.

[Jarius]

All we needed was for Preston to handle his assignment. We'll have to agree to disagree here.

You have to know as a coach that he can?t handle that assignment. He hasn?t all night. Jesus.

[Commercecomet24]

He's a freshman

Yep and we played a lot of them and walk ons tonight and gave uga all they wanted.

[BeardoMSU]

Welp, I was dead wrong on this being a blood bath, and I'm happy I was. I really hope things are turning for the better. Nothing would make me happier, tbh. 49 ****ing schollies...that really can't be overstated. I'm not one for moral victories, but damn, given the situation (and the season in general), that was a great showing. Lets build on it.

[Bothrops]

Who is more hated? Mike Leach or Donald Trump?

Trump. Lots of people would like to see him kill over, and I dont mean maybe.

[MaroonFlounder]

Trump. Lots of people would like to see him kill over, and I dont mean maybe.

Kill over? LOL.

[HoopsDawg]

Terrible last 4 possessions by the offense, but I'm going to give Leach a break this week. I honestly thought we would lose by 40.

[RocketDawg]

Trump. Lots of people would like to see him kill over, and I dont mean maybe.

Keel. You can't use the other word in the same paragraph as the President's name.

[Matt3467]

You have to know as a coach that he can?t handle that assignment. He hasn?t all night. Jesus.

And if we had dropped everyone and still gotten beat people would've complained why we didn't blitz and gave him all the time in the world to pass. Arnett called a good game and he was handicapped.

[Activated Alpha]

Terrible last 4 possessions by the offense, but I'm going to give Leach a break this week. I honestly thought we would lose by 40.

Linebackers started to creep up on those under zone throws and lineman started to get beat. If we block correctly on 3 of those screens, one of those possessions would have turned into points

[MaroonFlounder]

Keel. You can't use the other word in the same paragraph as the President's name.

Bothrops is a true scholar.

[Bothrops]

Keel. You can't use the other word in the same paragraph as the President's name.

People have been saying this on the streets for the last 5 months.

[RocketDawg]

Bothrops is a true scholar.

Ha. I suppose we all are at times.

[SaintDawg]

So much done by our team, with so little, hasn't been seen by our fanbase in a long, long time. Well done gentlemen! Well done!

Bothrops is a true scholar.

How closely are you affected by it? Do you live in a big city such as Portland, DC etc.?

[bobtail bob]

Thread derailed but joining in I always thought beard worked for the FBI ?

[Bothrops]

How closely are you affected by it? Do you live in a big city such as Portland, DC etc.?

Just because I'm not there, I shouldn't care? It's directly affected someone that I know. Does that count?

[msbulldog]

So proud of the way our guys gave it there all tonight every player. If you bad mouth any one of them after the way the odds were against them and the effort they gave, you should be ashamed of yourself. HAIL STATE!.

[BeardoMSU]

Thread derailed but joining in I always thought beard worked for the FBI ?

Lol!

[PGHBulldogBG]

Our guys really gave it their all. It?s a shame we didn?t start the year with these 49 plus the Covid sick guys and started. We might not have beat LSU but we wouldn?t beat ark and UK. Effort on the field was solid A

[Jarius]

And if we had dropped everyone and still gotten beat people would've complained why we didn't blitz and gave him all the time in the world to pass. Arnett called a good game and he was handicapped.

The entire point of dropping everyone is to keep the ball in front of you. They would not have thrown the ball 40 yards down field if we had dropped into coverage. They would have gotten a 10-15 yard gain and tried a field goal from 45 yards out. It was a stupid call.

That?s awesome. Sure everyone in the athletic department and our fanbase feels better that you are ok with tonight

[ScoobaDawg]

Maroon Flounder and Bothrops... Enjoy your break. I can't say it any more plain than
.. NO POLITICS. That was just stupid.

[yjnkdawg]

That's one call that Coach Arnett would really like back.

If Costello doesn't set a NCAA record for throwing pick-6's we're probably 5-2 right now.

[Gypsy_RoadDawg]

This is a better start than we had in 2017. We were out of that one on the first offensive series from Georgia.

They ran a flea flicker on the first play and scored. We were never in it after that.

[R2Dawg]

If Costello doesn't set a NCAA record for throwing pick-6's we're probably 5-2 right now.

That is a crazy but probably true statement. The emotion and trajectory of a program can be so fragile. Better than that if we play UGA earlier in year with different QB we are 6-1. If, if, if..... The line of an MSU fan.

[RocketDawg]

So proud of the way our guys gave it there all tonight every player. If you bad mouth any one of them after the way the odds were against them and the effort they gave, you should be ashamed of yourself. HAIL STATE!.

Yep. Last night was our best game this year, I think, given all the circumstances. Just a little low on gas at the end, but they'd been playing, and playing hard, for over 3 hours.

Anybody know how many players saw action?

[RocketDawg]

They ran a flea flicker on the first play and scored. We were never in it after that.

Yeah, I said earlier it was a statue of liberty, but it was definitely a flea flicker.
