Would love to see us come out and just say 17 it, but take a bunch of chances

Would love to see Leach do some crazy stuff just to make a mockery of the SEC making us play this game. I could totally see him doing that.

[KOdawg1]

Here's what I would like to see tonight:

-NO injuries; at least not major ones anyway. If we can get through the night relatively healthy, then I'll feel good.

-A sign of life on offense. Most of the major contributors we have out are on defense. I'm not asking for us to go score 30 points. That's not happening. But I'd like to just see something for us to build on moving forward. Tough task vs. the most talented D in the country.

-Relentless effort; I just twitched typing that. But it's true. And luckily, I think we'll play with that mentality tonight. With a skeleton crew, I think there will be an "us vs. the world" mentality. Hopefully, these 49 guys will set the tone for a new culture at Mississippi State. I don't expect to win the game. I don't expect it to be close. But I expect a tough Mississippi State football team. That's all we can really ask for.

[Statecoachingblows**]

Anything positive, I'll take it. Not picky at this point.

[confucius say]

Sec isn't making us play. We requested to play bc we have big massive nuts

[Turfdawg67]

Whut I'd like to see is us come out and run a spread option... jus like the good ole days! (spit, ding) ***

[HoopsDawg]

can't wait to watch some checkdowns baby.

[msstate7]

Sec isn't making us play. We requested to play bc we have big massive nuts

Aren't we requesting to delay the egg?

[RocketDawg]

Sec isn't making us play. We requested to play bc we have big massive nuts

Don't your think the TV money influenced the decision as well? Or was the decision left up to the players?

[msbulldog]

Any game out of the 10 cost you 1/10th of your TV money and we need the money.

[HoopsDawg]

Any game out of the 10 cost you 1/10th of your TV money and we need the money.

Is this 100% for sure or are you guessing? I thought all SEC teams split the TV pool money equally?

[RocketDawg]

Is this 100% for sure or are you guessing? I thought all SEC teams split the TV pool money equally?

Pretty sure they do for bowls (after expenses), but not sure about this season's regular games. Any idea of the TV payout per game? Might also be some special rules during the pandemic season.

[msbulldog]

Is this 100% for sure or are you guessing? I thought all SEC teams split the TV pool money equally?

I can't remember where I read it earlier this week, but it was not in a message board thread, it was in something Sankey was talking about.

[KOdawg1]

Here we go...

[ShotgunDawg]

I've watched Daniels before. He has no composure if you get pressure. Not sure we have the bodies for that, but we'll see

[ZedFedder]

It won’t be good, but Brian Hadad had some great tweets to put things into perspective. Basically, these guys tonight are not the culture issues. They are going to war knowing they aren’t going to win. But by gosh I’ll support them.

[maroonmania]

Uh, Will Rogers was never committed to WSU that I am aware of. Where did that comment come from?

[msstate7]

I like leach's pullover

[KOdawg1]

Not that it matter but it sucks that this is our second trip to Athens in 3 years.

[Quaoarsking]

Not that it matter but it sucks that this is our second trip to Athens in 3 years.

And our third since Georgia last played in Starkville in 2010.

[HoopsDawg]

And for the 6th game in a row...Same Defense.

[ShotgunDawg]

We got a 17ing 1st down!!!!

[KOdawg1]

Jaden Walley is a dude

[msstate7]

That was a nice pass/catch

[DEDawg]

Is Kobe at guard??

[ShotgunDawg]

Jaden Walley is a dude

He really is.

[RocketDawg]

Leach is running the ball. More balanced so far, and a good opening drive. It's early, but Rogers looks good so far.

[HoopsDawg]

UGA backers dropping too deep and Will is taking advantage.

[ShotgunDawg]

The OL already looks better than it has all season

[KOdawg1]

Please take care of the ball right here

[HoopsDawg]

Will is putting it on the money.

[msstate7]

This is a very nice drive. Finish

[ShotgunDawg]

WOW

[Statecoachingblows**]

And our third since Georgia last played in Starkville in 2010.

Who was it that got rocked and fumbled at the goal line? Wasn't it that game?

[ShotgunDawg]

Will is putting it on the money.

it's like we finally know the offense

[maroonmania]

Please don't throw an INT!

[ShotgunDawg]

How is that not illegal contact?

[msstate7]

Go

[ShotgunDawg]

Don't love the 3rd down call. not against UGA

[KOdawg1]

You know what? I'll take it. That's the best our offense has looked since the LSU game. Nice job guys.

[maroonmania]

We run on 3rd and goal from the 7? Guess we wanted to just make sure we got some points.

[RocketDawg]

This is the best we've looked all year since the LSU game.

[ShotgunDawg]

Great start. Best drive of the year since LSU

[mparkerfd20]

Nice drive.

[msstate7]

Don't love the 3rd down call. not against UGA

I only understand it if you go on 4th

[maroonmania]

Can we stop the game now?

[parabrave]

Go for it Leach. We probably won't get this close again.

[msstate7]

This is the best we've looked all year since the LSU game.

We started really well against vandy too. Now vandy isn't Georgia defensively though

[Percho]

How is that not illegal contact?

Turn the teams around and it was.

[bulldawg28]

Nice job by the offense. I'll take it!

[Quaoarsking]

Can we stop the game now?

#StopTheCount

[VandelayIndustries]

Hell of a drive, 3rd down call was weak. Took a lot of time off clock though

[RocketDawg]

Don't love the 3rd down call. not against UGA

I think he was just centering the ball for the FG attempt. They were way over on the hash and it's hard to make from that short a yardage. Just looking for any sort of score at the moment, which isn't that bad a plan.

[KOdawg1]

JT Daniels is one ugly 17er

[ShotgunDawg]

Atta boy defense

[PGHBulldogBG]

I have to admit that was a good series. I will take it!

[ShotgunDawg]

Forbes just got destroyed. that can't happen

[msstate7]

Forbes, that was pretty bad

[ShotgunDawg]

Would Pickering have been able to play tonight if he didn't opt out?

[KOdawg1]

Forbes just got destroyed. that can't happen

He's gonna be a great player, but he's had his share of missed tackles this season

[ShotgunDawg]

Dang Brule

[msstate7]

If that was an accurate pass, br?le gets it easy

[KOdawg1]

LET'S GO

Let your nuts hang boys

[ShotgunDawg]

Boom. Arnett is such a bad ass

[maroonmania]

Georgia's offense is not very good. A reasonable offensive showing in this game can keep us in it all the way.

[msstate7]

Well this is the best start I could've even dreamed up.

[parabrave]

Brule is going to make some cash at the next level.

[Commercecomet24]

Kids are playing hard and with effort. Guess the ones left maybe buying in.

[ShotgunDawg]

If that was an accurate pass, br?le gets it easy

At USC, I always thought Daniels looked really glassy eyed. Never looked like a GUY to me. We'll see

[RocketDawg]

Looks like the defense came to play tonight as well. Maybe these are the players who really want to play and they're out to prove it. It's early, but they still look better than they have since LSU.

[ShotgunDawg]

Kids are playing hard and with effort. Guess the ones left maybe buying in.

I would say all 49 there tonight are definitely all in

[KOdawg1]

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

[Percho]

I Believe!

[Dogbone]

Goose bumps!!!!!!

[msstate7]

Gotta at least get 2 1st downs this drive. Flip the field

[bulldawg28]

Nice job team! Keep it going.

[ShotgunDawg]

offense can't give them short fields and we've got to tackle.

If we can do those two things, we've got a chance to compete. UGA's offense isn't good enough to drive it 8+ plays consistently

[Commercecomet24]

I would say all 49 there tonight are definitely all in

Yep

[PGHBulldogBG]

Maybe we should keep this 49 plus the covid kids and build off this. I don?t need a win I just need this effort for 60 minutes

[DawgNamedScuba]

Kids are playing hard and with effort. Guess the ones left maybe buying in.

Think they bought in..Playing hard!


Time to pour another drink....just in case.

[msstate7]

#11 came back to help qb. Nice

[ShotgunDawg]

Great job Will. That's what he does well. Moves the pocket

[msstate7]

I really hope we aren't back to normal now.

[RocketDawg]

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

That was when they scored on the first play of the game - statue of Liberty play as I recall. It was all downhill from there.

[ShotgunDawg]

Well dang. UGA took away the 1st read.

Either way, Will is getting the ball out quick, which helps the OL tremendously

[KOdawg1]

Good punt

[ShotgunDawg]

I really hope we aren't back to normal now.

We're better. You can tell by how quickly Will is working through the reads.

[msstate7]

That was when they scored on the first play of the game - statue of Liberty play as I recall. It was all downhill from there.

They could've named their score on us, and we were pretty good. That was a damn good Georgia team, and we just really didn't match up.

[msbulldog]

They could've named their score on us, and we were pretty good. That was a damn good Georgia team, and we just really didn't match up.

Yep and the next week Auburn beat us just as bad, not the way to start a season.

[ShotgunDawg]

If UGA wants to nickle and dime us, I'm good with that

[ShotgunDawg]

Great job defense

[ShotgunDawg]

Fantastic 1st quarter.

We look good & we've shortened the game.

[BrunswickDawg]

Fantastic 1st quarter.

We look good & we've shortened the game.

Can't ask for much more. I'll take being up 3-0 and call it a win

[KOdawg1]

Looking forward to our next offensive series..

we need to take a shot down the field. They're keying in on the short stuff now. Send a guy down the side line and blow the top off. Take the shot so they know we can.

[ShotgunDawg]

https://twitter.com/bmlanglois/status/1330314935696502786?s=20

[KOdawg1]

Bull shit call

[Maroonthirteen]

Alright, Alright. Good start.

[ShotgunDawg]

Late flag? Sheesh

[RocketDawg]

Can't ask for much more. I'll take being up 3-0 and call it a win

Considering the way they've played in the first quarter, I agree. Hope they can keep it up. Think we just got called for PI.

[msstate7]

Damn shame. Daniels weak arm got that call

[Joebob]

Terrible pass coverage. Just look for the ball dammit!

[magrooder]

Gotta get that help from the refs on that one. BS call

[ShotgunDawg]

That's awful

[RocketDawg]

Bull shit call


Yeah it was. The ball was uncatchable.

[ShotgunDawg]

Pick 6 his ass

[Quaoarsking]

This is why people think college football is rigged.

[Saltydog]

The inconsistency with the PI calls in this league is horrible. That was NOT PI.

[ShotgunDawg]

UGA would get a BS call to spark them

[RocketDawg]

Just gave them 4.5 yards.

[ShotgunDawg]

Of course, it goes against us

[msstate7]

This is why people think college football is rigged.

I know we hate it, but that gets called 8/10 when wr is trying to come back to underthrown ball and defender isn't playing ball

[KOdawg1]

Cam Young making plays out there

[msstate7]

Forbes on Pickens is pretty wishful thinking on our part

[ShotgunDawg]

Damn. Gotta keep Emerson on Pickens. Not sure Forbes can handle him.

Kobe's off sides likely cost us there

[Joebob]

Tough break. That was a really good defensive stand.

[msstate7]

Forbes on Pickens is pretty wishful thinking on our part

Although that was pretty good coverage. Better throw

[ShotgunDawg]

If our offense answers here, it's game on. You have to answer

[chef dixon]

Forbes on Pickens is pretty wishful thinking on our part

Got any better ideas?

[Bass Chaser]

I know we hate it, but that gets called 8/10 when wr is trying to come back to underthrown ball and defender isn't playing ball

I agree. I didn't think he gave am effort to come back.

[RocketDawg]

Looks like Georgia has those fancy colored LEDs like Bama had installed. I'll guess we don't have those - don't think we've had a night game at home yet have we?

[msstate7]

Got any better ideas?

Emerson

[ShotgunDawg]

Although that was pretty good coverage. Better throw

It was a great throw. Likely they don't run that if we don't give them 4.5 yards on the off sides.

[ShotgunDawg]

The PI call was BS.

It was an awful throw and the ref bailed UGA out. IMO the quality of the throw has to be considered on PI calls. You can't bail out the offense for a terrible throw

[KOdawg1]

I'm not a "blame the refs" guy, but you can thank them for that TD. We're playing tough. They're offense is not that good. Gotta mount a drive right here

[MetEdDawg]

Yeah guys come on. That was PI. Ran into his body. PI gets called on that every time. All he has to do is turn around and no flag. The severe underthrow gets a lot of PI calls.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I agree. I didn't think he gave am effort to come back.
UGA player didn?t make an effort to go to the ball and stopped running is why there was contact.

[ShotgunDawg]

Yeah guys come on. That was PI. Ran into his body. PI gets called on that every time. All he has to do is turn around and no flag. The severe underthrow gets a lot of PI calls.

I don't like bad throws being rewarded

[chef dixon]

Emerson

Well he just got a PI on him and Forbes is not that far behind Emerson. They are both going to play on Sundays

[Westdawg]

I can honestly say that both sides are playing well. BS call on the PI. WR never tried to come back. It's not like it was even a bang-bang play. Slow developing and there really wasn't even solid contact.

[ShotgunDawg]

best hands I've ever seen Osiris show

[Bothrops]

Looks like that extra week of practice might have actually helped a little.. ?

[ShotgunDawg]

Atta boy Johnson

[KOdawg1]

Jaden Walley is quickly becoming my favorite receiver

[RocketDawg]

Offense still looking good.

[ShotgunDawg]

Will Rogers knows what the 17 he's doing

[Westdawg]

That's was the longest rush we've had in a while lol

[BrunswickDawg]

Great effort by Walley on that catch

[ShotgunDawg]

What the hell Gardner?

[ShotgunDawg]

This is night and day better execution than we've seen this season

[KOdawg1]

Tulu Griffin sighting

[ShotgunDawg]

Love seeing Tulu get involved

[ShotgunDawg]

The game comes really really easy to Will Rogers

[msbulldog]

Cole Smith just told a Ga player how the cow ate the cabbage.

[KOdawg1]

Love seeing Tulu get involved

I'd like to see him get some jet sweeps

[msstate7]

I sorta expect Georgia to do what they do and drop this zone soon. They are not very good at it

[Cowbell]

Looks like that extra week of practice might have actually helped a little.. ?

Definitely

[ShotgunDawg]

4 down territory here

[Cowbell]

The game comes really really easy to Will Rogers

Will is definitely the best freshman QB we've ever had. By a mile.

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm telling you, Will Rogers knows what the 17 he's doing

[msstate7]

If we score (even a fg), this will be our most impressive drive post LSU game. Answering the Georgia score would be a huge step in the right direction

[ShotgunDawg]

It'll be nice when Marks gets a little stronger and can beat that 1st tackle

[Matt3467]

Marks has to be able to beat 1v1

[ShotgunDawg]

Boom

[Statecoachingblows**]

Arnett needs a fat raise I don't care the final score.

All these guys are fighting and that's a pleasant sight.

That's a catch!

[BeardoMSU]

That's a catch.

[msbulldog]

That's a catch!

[Bothrops]

Does anyone know what weve been doing in practice since Vandy?

[BeardoMSU]

If we score (even a fg), this will be our most impressive drive post LSU game. Answering the Georgia score would be a huge step in the right direction

Yep.

[RocketDawg]

We just got a call (the correct call) on the pass reception so now it won't have to be overturned on review.

[ShotgunDawg]

Will Rogers has that gene where he looks like he could play QB in his underwear rolling out of bed.

The game is just so easy for him

[msbulldog]

Does anyone know what weve been doing in practice since Vandy?

Getting rid of deadwood.

[BeardoMSU]

Does anyone know what weve been doing in practice since Vandy?

Sippin' lean, and gettin' mean**

[HoopsDawg]

Arnett needs a fat raise I don't care the final score.

All these guys are fighting and that's a pleasant sight.

That's a catch!

I agree. He's playing UGA with 4 group of 5 guys on defense and doing a hell of job.

[ShotgunDawg]

Does anyone know what weve been doing in practice since Vandy?

Reps, reps, reps.

Leach has always said the offense has to be run like you're breathing. Looks like we're starting to breath

[KOdawg1]

Sippin' lean, and gettin' mean**

I laughed

[msstate7]

No complaining about ref overruling that a catch?

[RocketDawg]

I'm telling you, Will Rogers knows what the 17 he's doing

He's looking really good. Mixing in the running plays helps a lot, but he's spot on with most of his passes.

[bobtail bob]

I?m seeing a fight in the team that hasn?t been there.

[BeardoMSU]

We just got a call (the correct call) on the pass reception so now it won't have to be overturned on review.

Yep, and the 2nd ref had to overrule the ref who only saw the back of the play. That hardly ever seems to happen for us.

[ShotgunDawg]

I don't know if we'll compete in this game, but, if we can do this vs UGA's defense, how the hell will Ole Miss stop us?

[99jc]

Will Rogers has that gene where he looks like he could play QB in his underwear rolling out of bed.

The game is just so easy for him

yeah.....but there were a bunch of dumbasses on this board that said he wasn't an SEC QB.

[RocketDawg]

First offensive TD that I can remember in a long time.

[BeardoMSU]

TD! Hells yeah!

[msstate7]

That was impressive

[Joebob]

I may faint dead away.

[ShotgunDawg]

17 yeah MT ****ers

[bulldawg28]

Mike Leach and Will Rogers!

[Bothrops]

Wow!

[KOdawg1]

I don't know if we'll compete in this game, but, if we can do this vs UGA's defense, how the hell will Ole Miss stop us?

They're becoming less confident than they were an hour ago, I assure you

[msbulldog]

HAIL STATE!!!!!!!!!!

[Dogbone]

Touchdown!!!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

Forest Gump...

"And one day it just worked"

[Westdawg]

HOT DANG!!!!!

[BeardoMSU]

I don't know if we'll compete in this game, but, if we can do this vs UGA's defense, how the hell will Ole Miss stop us?

Exactly. I'm just happy that we seem to have fire and we're actually executing. Breath of fresh air.

[MaroonFlounder]

This looks like a different team. I like it.

[msstate7]

Johnson and Marks are both young and have a long way to go, but I've thought Johnson looks the better or the 2 all year to me. I like him and walley, and neither were supposed to that good

[Dogbone]

Impressive!

[msbulldog]

I?m seeing a fight in the team that hasn?t been there.

And what were you saying about our 49 players in that other thread?

[Bdawg]

I?m seeing a fight in the team that hasn?t been there.

Are we down to the core that's ready to roll with Leach?

[BeardoMSU]

Forest Gump...

"And one day it just worked"

The shackles of malcontents released**

https://media1.tenor.com/images/d6060ab24e636aba701d4d8b4fd46373/tenor.gif?itemid=5178326

[msstate7]

I think we gonna see some man defense next drive. Be interesting if we can carve it like we did LSU's

[KOdawg1]

Perhaps the biggest bonus of these sustained drives is the fact that our defense of 20 scholarship players are getting the chance to rest up.

[bulldawg28]

Forest Gump...

"And one day it just worked"

Looks like it

[MaroonFlounder]

Getting tired of the commercial with the 2 guys sitting in the Land Rover in the snow. They stroking themselves, or what?

[BeardoMSU]

We need this shitty Georgia offense to cough up a turnover or two, then we'll be cookin' with gas.

[KOdawg1]

Hey that's the MSU we know and love

[maroonmania]

Very proud of proud of our guys tonight! At least we came to make a showing.

[ShotgunDawg]

That can't happen. Absolutely cannot happen

[ShotgunDawg]

Defense needs to step up here

[Westdawg]

They are picking on duncan

[BrunswickDawg]

I know he caught it so it doesn't matter - but that PI call was horseshit

[KOdawg1]

That can't happen. Absolutely cannot happen

Duncan should've tackled him. Take the 15 yards

[RocketDawg]

If we can stop them or hold to a FG after that long pass, it'll be impressive.

[ShotgunDawg]

Good job defense.

[KOdawg1]

Big stop there. Let's put something together right here

[maroonmania]

I hate when we have to defend a pass play in the SEC. Every time an opponent throws the SEC refs already have their hands in their pockets to throw a pass interference flag. Never seen a team get flagged for as many ticky tack PI calls as we do.

[ShotgunDawg]

What's great is that was a short drive. Our offense is running up play totals vs their defense

[ShotgunDawg]

Arnett will bait Daniels into a big mistake at some point. Just have to stay in the game & make it matter

[BeardoMSU]

So far, we've held Georgia to 1 yard rushing. One. ****ing. Yard.

[KOdawg1]

They're gonna throw man at us sooner or later. Once they do, take the shot

[BrunswickDawg]

Gotta shout out to UGA kicker Jack Podlesny - went to Glynn Academy with my kids

[ShotgunDawg]

So far, we've held Georgia to 1 yard rushing. One. ****ing. Yard.

They essentially only moved the ball on 2 deep passes (one that was a PI) and a missed tackle by Forbes

[HoopsDawg]

They're gonna throw man at us sooner or later. Once they do, take the shot

They do not look comfortable in the 3-8.

[ShotgunDawg]

They're gonna throw man at us sooner or later. Once they do, take the shot

That's what we've wanted . Get teams out of the 3-8

[ShotgunDawg]

This offense is so bad ass when run correctly

[BeardoMSU]

Wow!!!!!

[magrooder]

Wow! Great pass, catch and run!

[maroonmania]

Great throw, catch and run for the TD!

[KOdawg1]

I don't know what to do with my hands

[BeardoMSU]

That's what we've wanted . Get teams out of the 3-8

Called it, lol.

[ShotgunDawg]

BOOM Muther****ers

[msstate7]

Bucky, your boy appears to be as good as you have advertised. I know you're thrilled. Great pass

[Statecoachingblows**]

What the hell is going on?!

[bulldawg28]

That damn Will Rodgers!

[Bothrops]

Well **** me

[ShotgunDawg]

This offense obliterates man coverage

[Bdawg]

Well we got man coverage, and that may be it. Awesome play though!!

[Commercecomet24]

I told y'all the players and coaches that were left were ready to play. Sometimes you have to trim some dead wood before the tree can grow.

[BeardoMSU]

I don't know what to do with my hands

Sit on them until they fall asleep....then it'll feel like a stranger is touching you**

[Westdawg]

I could never be happier for these players than at this moment. These guys are wholly bought in.

[ShotgunDawg]

Tulu can tackle

[KOdawg1]

Sit on them until they fall asleep....then it'll feel like a stranger is touching you**

Second time you've made me laugh tonight. Have some rep

[ShotgunDawg]

I could never be happier for these players than at this moment. These guys are wholly bought in.

That what Leach does

[HoopsDawg]

Cross and Kam Jones are making a big difference.

[parabrave]

Hey Kirby how is that man to man working out for you. Bo Pellini says hello/

[ShotgunDawg]

Defense has to hold here

[Cooterpoot]

Tulu can tackle

He's a missile on both sides of the ball. Would love to see him line up in the backfield some & motion out.

[Cooterpoot]

Our safeties are getting raped

[Bdawg]

Jeez don't give that up

[ShotgunDawg]

our deep ball defense is awful

[maroonmania]

Terrible hold on our rusher on that long GA pass play.

[KOdawg1]

It's getting to where every time they take a shot, they connect. Gotta shore that up because OM will do that all day

[msstate7]

Got to hold them to fg

[HoopsDawg]

We just don't have the talent at safety.

[msstate7]

Craft just laid the wood on cook

[Bdawg]

Craft bringing the wood! Love seeing it!!

[DownwardDawg]

The boys are far exceeding my expectations.

[Commercecomet24]

We're playing some walkons and a lot of young guys in the secondary we gonna give up some plays.

[ShotgunDawg]

We just don't have the talent at safety.

It's all opted out. That's why we have to land Calloway and others

[ShotgunDawg]

Gottem on a hold
