Game Thread: Kentucky at MSU

[parabrave]

After 51 plays it's 55% pass 45% run. More importantly we are running in the red zone.

[magrooder]

INT AGAIN!!!!!! Step on their throats

[RocketDawg]

Another interception. Get another 7. These guys are PLAYING tonight.

[Statecoachingblows**]

WOW

[LC Dawg]

This is fun

[Maverick91]

GREAT JOB WHEAT

[mparkerfd20]

Hail yeah!!!

[Vandownbytheriver]

But he'll be here to tell you how the Air Raid sux tomorrow and how we shouldn't celebrate a game vs. the East

All the credit will go to the D. I already know the narrative he and 7 will run with.

[RocketDawg]

If we pull this out and aren't ranked tomorrow something is wrong.

This would be at least our 3rd win over top 25 ranked teams.

Does the AP have Sunday rankings once the Playoff rankings start? The first is Tuesday.

[BeardoMSU]

Another. False. Start.

[RocketDawg]

TD!

[Saltydog]

That may be the dagger right there.....

[magrooder]

TouchDown!!!

[defiantdog]

OL needs to run wind sprints

[RocketDawg]

90% completion for Rogers III tonight.

[Maverick91]

Good answer!

[SailingDawg]

27/30 passing. That?s kinda like Heisman stats.

[R2Dawg]

Great turnover and quick strike. Kentucky is starting to ease into the box because of the run game.

Yep that is what a run game and balance can do for you. All of a sudden we are getting downfield throws. You gotta have balance.

[Dawgology]

Holy crap. Beauty

[defiantdog]

90% completion for Rogers III tonight.
That's insane..... Running game has to be a contributing factor.

[RocketDawg]

That may be the dagger right there.....

Still over a quarter left. Look at the Michigan State comeback. Can't have enough points at this stage.

[BeardoMSU]

We're definitely making an example of these bitches.

[LC Dawg]

Rogers looks good on the longer throws. That's nice to see.

[Vandownbytheriver]

27/30 passing. That?s kinda like Heisman stats.

Only if it happens in Oxford man. Get it straight.

[R2Dawg]

That may be the dagger right there.....

Yep, this game should be a formality at this point. D and O both dominant.

[Commercecomet24]

Well, well, well ol airbone not doing to bad!

[Maverick91]

This team has gotta to learn to but the foot on the neck in this game.

[parabrave]

OL needs to run wind sprints

KY is yelling out snap count and the refs are letting them do it. Matt has been saying that they are doing it and leach complained about it at halftime.

[Lord McBuckethead]

This has been the first time since Leach has been the head coach that our crowd has been loud. Think about that for a moment.

[Saltydog]

Whew damn......Can't believe they let us keep that TD.......Usually those always go against us.......Tonight may be our night....

[LC Dawg]

I don't feel bad about being the benefactor of bad officiating.

[RocketDawg]

We got a huge break on the TD it seems. If they were showing the right replay, that is. I think they mixed up two of them.

[BeardoMSU]

Lucky they didn't replay that one.

[memsu06]

Yeah, Stoops I really don't care that we bobbled the ball on the called TD on the field. It's not like it cost you to lose a game.

[R2Dawg]

Holding on UK, no call, Would have been TFL

[BeardoMSU]

I don't feel bad about being the benefactor of bad officiating.

Absolutely. **** 'em.

[Vandownbytheriver]

Well they did get us for a phantom holding on a TD, so to hell with Big Blue.

[RocketDawg]

I don't feel bad about being the benefactor of bad officiating.

Agree. Speaking of officiating, haven't seen the Curly crew this weekend. Unless they're doing the Auburn game - haven't checked.

[magrooder]

Why do we seem to always whiff on those qb plays

[MoreCowbell]

I am a believer now.

[R2Dawg]

Forbes has to get the sack.

[Maverick91]

One day we will learn to break down on a sack!

[parabrave]

Dam another defender down.

[magrooder]

Time to own the 4th quarter.

[Maverick91]

If we could sack them and force a punt. That would be a massive screw you.

[Saltydog]

Confederates hanging in at Auburn....The Tigers need to get their asses in gear.....

[BeardoMSU]

Confederates hanging in at Auburn....The Tigers need to get their asses in gear.....

They've slept walked so far in the second half. Corral's tea-baggin' Heisman "moment" is tee'ed up.

[R2Dawg]

And we let them back in the game. O must answer or at least burn a lot of clock.

[Maverick91]

If we could sack them and force a punt. That would be a massive screw you.

I take back what I said!

[Saltydog]

Well damn.......Our D looked flat on that drive.....

[Percho]

Well damn.......Our D looked flat on that drive.....

We gave a lot of space.

[RocketDawg]

And we let them back in the game. O must answer or at least burn a lot of clock.

Yeah, I think the D may have gotten a little too confident on that series. They need to buckle down. UK has some momentum now.

[magrooder]

That's the way to make a statement Tulu!

[BeardoMSU]

Kiffin had an opportunity at a chip-shot FG to make it a 5 point game, but decided instead to go for a long 4th and 6 and gets stuffed. Dumb ass.

[R2Dawg]

These refs just make stuff up to try and screw us and help UK.

[LC Dawg]

Kiffin is a ****ing idiot. Passing up points on the road in a close game just doesn't make sense.

[BeardoMSU]

Wow, lol. These. ****ing. Refs.

[R2Dawg]

Total BS call again

[Statecoachingblows**]

What a crock of shit

[Maverick91]

What the actual heck is that call!

[RocketDawg]

Don't see how they could have possibly have called that a fair catch signal.

[parabrave]

After it hit the ground?????

[BeardoMSU]

These refs just make stuff up to try and screw us and help UK.

Like adding a penalty when reviewing the Onside Kick we recovered at Memphis? Yeah, **** these guys.

[memsu06]

These officials just can't let it go. 17 them

[BulldogBear]

First of all, that was BS.

Second, we should have the ball at the 25yl. WT17?

[magrooder]

This officiating is a joke

[Statecoachingblows**]

Isn't a fair catch ball at the 25?

[LC Dawg]

Fair catch? Lol.

[Dawgology]

That’s bullshit. Total bullshit

[BulldogBear]

Like adding a penalty when reviewing the Onside Kick we recovered at Memphis? Yeah, **** these guys.

Is the same crew?

[Bdawg]

Biggest fing screw job I've ever seen on a fair catch call. That is truly unbelievable!!!

[RocketDawg]

First of all, that was BS.

Second, we should have the ball at the 25yl. WT17?

15 yard penalty?

[Maverick91]

Dillon I love him, but he cannot keep his feet about him. Also where is marks?

[RocketDawg]

Is the same crew?


No.

[R2Dawg]

Was that targeting on Johnson?

[magrooder]

Why is stoops all bowed up about?

[R2Dawg]

Crown of helmet on defenseless player that should be UK targeting.

[R2Dawg]

Why is stoops all bowed up about?

Because he knows he is about to lose. Ha

[BulldogBear]

15 yard penalty?

I never saw a flag though.

In any case, all he was doing was swing arms naturally as he changed direction and momentum. Its a BS call.

[Tater]

Why is stoops all bowed up about?

Kentucky players not jumping on the ball

[Dawgology]

Crown of helmet on defenseless player that should be UK targeting.

Doesn’t matter. They are clearly more focused on penalizing State.

[magrooder]

Was that targeting on Johnson?

After further review (on my part), it looked like the KY player lead with the crown of his helmet

[Dawgology]

I never saw a flag though.

In any case, all he was doing was swing arms naturally as he changed direction and momentum. Its a BS call.

Exactly and if it was a fair catch why didn’t the ref blow the play dead upon the catch? They are pulling stuff out of their ass.

[IMissJack]

In the end these refs have gotten most calls corrected, but how bad would they be without replay?

[BeardoMSU]

No.

I was speaking about refs generally, lol.

[magrooder]

First down Bulldogs! Hail State!

[BeardoMSU]

KY has adjusted well on our run game.

[R2Dawg]

Cool highlight of MSU being #1 on first playoff poll.

[Saltydog]

Just an observation but our WR's are not good at blocking, AT ALL.....Of course, they don't have to do it that much but it definitely could be improved.....

[magrooder]

Good play by Rogers to get the yardage

[R2Dawg]

KY has adjusted well on our run game.

Yeah they didn't have much choice. We have countered some.

[Percho]

I think Leach said at half time the run has been there all the time implying our QB is now beginning to see it.

[vindastra]

Nostlagia...if that had been Fitz, he would have plowed the defender.

[IMissJack]

Our kicking game is atrocious

[R2Dawg]

I think Leach said at half time the run has been there all the time implying our QB is now beginning to see it.

Maybe, did it take Leach two years to teach him how to read it?

It is more than that. Leach just doesn't want to admit that running the ball helped him.

[Irondawg]

Did they not hose us on the spot for Wills run - they gave it tonis at the 41 and he didn?t start sliding until the 39

[Percho]

Maybe we can get a punter out of the portal.

[Vandownbytheriver]

Our punter is not good at kicking the football.

[Apoplectic]

This shiiiittttty ST

[R2Dawg]

Nostlagia...if that had been Fitz, he would have plowed the defender.

Ha, yeah first down Bulldogs.

[Irondawg]

And I didn?t like that 3rd down call to try a run

[LC Dawg]

We may as well start going for it on 4th down if we can't punt it further than 16 yards.

[Apoplectic]

Did they not hose us on the spot for Wills run - they gave it tonis at the 41 and he didn?t start sliding until the 39

Qb slide spotted at the start of slide

[Dawgology]

We have a terrible TERRIBLE special teams. Good grief. That and OL has killed us this game.

[magrooder]

Step up D

[R2Dawg]

Don't like our look on D now. Seemed to have called off the Dawgs or something.

[magrooder]

KY was holding damn near everyone on that play

[memsu06]

Nostlagia...if that had been Fitz, he would have plowed the defender.

And he would have overthrown 50 passes in this game.

I loved Fitz too, but delicate passes wasn't his thing.

[LC Dawg]

Nice job by our defense to close out that drive.

[RocketDawg]

First fake injury by UK to stop the clock.

[R2Dawg]

Now Rogers trying to blame UK loss on TD catch.

[magrooder]

That's the way to get the first down Marks

[R2Dawg]

Dang now both RB out hurt

[RocketDawg]

Hope he lets the play clock run down.

[IMissJack]

This is the best we have run the ball under Leach, correct?

[R2Dawg]

Where is Hargrove?

[RocketDawg]

34/37 = 91.9% completion.

[magrooder]

The O is doing exactly what needs to be done. I sure would like another score tho

[RocketDawg]

Barring some big time screwup, we've won this game.

[R2Dawg]

Funny seeing Stoops all pissed at Scott Field again

[Maverick91]

This is the best we have run the ball under Leach, correct?

I agree!

[R2Dawg]

This is the best we have run the ball under Leach, correct?

No doubt but also the swing passes to RB were run extensions that were on money tonight instead of getting RB blow up behind the line. Our two RBs are weapons.

[Apoplectic]

Are we on #3 and 4 RB?

[Vandownbytheriver]

Matt 4 Heisman just threw an INT in the end zone

[R2Dawg]

In other news, Corals heisman run might end tonight. 0 TDs

[BeardoMSU]

Matt "Meryl Streep" Corral just threw tossed an endzone pick, lol.

[Dawgology]

I never saw what happened to Johnson. Did he walk off or carted?

[RocketDawg]

Have they announced the attendance? I'll guess about 30K.

[DLGDawg]

Whew damn......Can't believe they let us keep that TD.......Usually those always go against us.......Tonight may be our night....

Pay back for the crap holding call when we scored the TD. But wound up w a FG

[bobtail bob]

LOL announcers were trying to set Corral up for a heisman moment and he threw it right to a Auburn player for int

[RocketDawg]

36/39 = 92.3%. It's been a while since we've seen a completion percentage that high.

[BeardoMSU]

Helluva job running this clock out.

[TNDawg35]

Oh my god I can’t wait to hear how bad KY is from Coffee34 Tom morning!!! Eat it you bitch…

[Duckdog]

This is what you call an ass whooping. Can't wait to hear all the bullshit about how KY really wasn't that good

[RocketDawg]

TD, but probably a holding call will negate.

[R2Dawg]

Marks looks like a stud RB tonight.

And the refs strike again

[Maverick91]

Woodie good job!

[magrooder]

It's amazing how they can see bulldogs holding, but can't see cats holding.

[R2Dawg]

This is what you call an ass whooping. Can't wait to hear all the bullshit about how KY really wasn't that good

Give it a rest and enjoy a win good grief.

UK is a good team but not great. Everyone been saying that all year. We beat a good team not a great team. We played like most thought we should all along tonight.

[Commercecomet24]

That's how you finish a game!

[magrooder]

Ball game!! Hail STATE!!!

[Maverick91]

That’s such trash! Two tds taken away from marks.

[RocketDawg]

36/39 = 92.3%. It's been a while since we've seen a completion percentage that high.

SEC record. That's pretty impressive. Great job by the team tonight.

[Dawgology]

Nice win. Had to beat Kentucky and the Refs tonight

[BeardoMSU]

Kiffin just did it again, lol!!!! WTF is he doing?

[SailingDawg]

If you saw a Leach interview and didn?t know Leach was a college coach you wouldn?t think Leach was a college coach.

[Vandownbytheriver]

If you saw a Leach interview and didn?t know Leach was a college coach you wouldn?t think Leach was a college coach.

My soon to be wife is a therapist and she keeps leaning more and more towards him being on the Spectrum. Wouldn't surprise me considering how much he's obsessed with pirates the way my autistic son is obsessed with dinosaurs.

[RocketDawg]

Should keep the bowl streak intact at a minimum. No way to lose to Tennessee State.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Ok I?m bought in. I better not speak too soon. Great win and performance. Let?s get Arky now

[RocketDawg]

If you saw a Leach interview and didn?t know Leach was a college coach you wouldn?t think Leach was a college coach.

You wouldn't think he was a lawyer, and you wouldn't think he had a brain in his head. You'd be wrong.

[LC Dawg]

That was fun.

[MoreCowbell]

Will is legit, time to put some respek on his name

[LC Dawg]

GA is clearly 1 and Bama 2 but it's wide open for the #3 team in the SEC.

[SailingDawg]

Heisman stats where? Which team? Which QB?

[Cooterpoot]

GA is clearly 1 and Bama 2 but it's wide open for the #3 team in the SEC.

Pretty clearly AU right now.

[parabrave]

Pretty clearly AU right now.

Yep them and A&M gonna be fighting for it.

[Cooterpoot]

We kept it moving forward tonight. Going to see some good news soon. Recruiting is going to blow up IMO to end the year. OM is beat to hell and will take another L vs another physical team in A&M. Shit, I'm going to drink a beer.

[Cowbell]

Cooter being optimistic?! Heck I might have to be optimistic now

[Maverick91]

My soon to be wife is a therapist and she keeps leaning more and more towards him being on the Spectrum. Wouldn't surprise me considering how much he's obsessed with pirates the way my autistic son is obsessed with dinosaurs.

My wife says the same thing.

[Activated Alpha]

Props to the offense and defense tonight. I honestly was nervous about this game but they played more than 3 quarters. Super happy for them and proud of Will

[SailingDawg]

Coaches gotta condition their players. Kiffin doesn?t seem to be the type to be bothered by that. It?s another excuse.

[BeardoMSU]

Some better ST play and we'd have had a complete game tonight. Helluva job by the O and D. And Mike called a great game.

[BeardoMSU]

Will is like a dozen yards away from 3000 with 4 games to go, lol. And he's already got 19 TD's. Not bad.

[SailingDawg]

You mean to tell me we?re 3-2 in the SEC West and tied for 3rd!

[Lord McBuckethead]

We have the tie breaker with aTm. If we beat Auburn, we are the #3 team in the entire SEC.

[BeardoMSU]

We have the tie breaker with aTm. If we beat Auburn, we are the #3 team in the entire SEC.

That'd be insane considering our flub at Memphis, lol. Still a ton to play for.

[BayouDawg]

Was at the game and it was a really good atmosphere. Offense looked great. Defense looked great. Loved it!

[BayouDawg]

My wife says the same thing.

Lol and Elon Musk is on the spectrum too.

[Cowbell]

That loss to LSU really hurts right now.

[BayouDawg]

That loss to LSU really hurts right now.

It does. And all the losses except Bama were self inflicted

[Dawgology]

It does. And all the losses except Bama were self inflicted

This. Memphis more so than LSU. They aren’t as bad as they seem. We should be 6-2 right now. With that said we grabbed a win at Tamu that I hadn’t counted so we are back on track for a 6-6 floor 8-4 ceiling type season which is where we need to be.

Good post. This. It sucks we lost to Memphis, especially the way we did, but if we finish strong, no one will remember that.

I was thinking just conference rankings. We would be tied for first in the west right now (Alabama has the tie breaker of course)
