MSU/Auburn Game Thread

[ShotgunDawg]

Auburn can do no wrong

[Matt3467]

Someone brought this up earlier and its embarrassing but have we even been near a receiver when the ball was caught? These guys are playing pitch and we're just sitting back.

[Doggie_Style]

For what it's worth, we've started slow like this in every game this year. Expect a better half, but hopefully they won't have 21 by then.

Hopefully they don?t have 35 by then?

[msudawg1200]

Bo Nix is having that looks like the best player in America day. I think it's because he's playing our defense.

[BayouDawg]

We are so undisciplined on defense assignment wise.

[mparkerfd20]

Arnett needs to pack his shit. I'll help

[BeardoMSU]

It's amazing how this D makes mediocre to shitty QBs/offenses look like juggernauts.

[msstate7]

A 17ing $5,000,000 clown show.

I don't think you got the talking points... everything is arnett's fault.

[magrooder]

WIDE F'n OPEN

[Saltydog]

GAME, SET, MATCH.......

[BeardoMSU]

Welp.

[Maverick91]

Our D is so confused

[MBDawg601]

Well, that's most likely game. I feel like we lay an egg every time we come to this fkn place.

[BayouDawg]

I don't think you got the talking points... everything is arnett's fault.

Well arnett isnt helping today. I think everyone from Keenum down to the cleaning ladies are to blame today.

[msudawg1200]

I can't watch this shit. It'll end up 52-17 or something. Pathetic effort today.

[Tater]

worst execution since middle two quarters against La Tech.

defense body language is bad.

offense not in sync.

we're gonna look so good in the 4th when it's too late today. we were due for a setback.

[starkvegasdawg]

Things less painful than watching MSU football? I'll start.

A colonoscopy wide awake.

[Homedawg]

This is just an old fashioned ass whipping

[KOdawg1]

I hate watching us play. It's so awful.

[bobtail bob]

Every flag these pricks have to get together and figure out how to make it benefit Auburn.
Their defense has fouled our offense into submission

[msstate7]

Well arnett isnt helping today. I think everyone from Keenum down to the cleaning ladies are to blame today.

Bad showing by defense so far for sure, but defense has been better than our offense all year. They rank higher in total and scoring. And offense isn't exactly lighting it up

[NCDawg]

I thought we had a chance today. Didn't realize we would come in not ready to pay and give a pathetic effort.

[OLJWales]

Well that was quick. You can make more money on the streets that way. On to the next John.

Leach puts too much bi-polar shit in me as a fan.

[mparkerfd20]

**** Arnett and **** yall that have sucked his sorry ass off for 2 years.

[Bothrops]

Every flag these pricks have to get together and figure out how to make it benefit Auburn.
Their defense has fouled our offense into submission

Which is to be expected

[CadaverDawg]

Looks like Sherrill's last team when we faced Florida. Like nobody out there gives a F

[Bothrops]

I thought we had a chance today. Didn't realize we would come in not ready to pay and give a pathetic effort.

Why not?

[Activated Alpha]

This is just an old fashioned ass whipping

Didn't really expect anything different. I go into our games with the lowest of low expectations knowing we will lose or get blown out. We need to just stop having prediction threads in this place

[Homedawg]

A 17ing $5,000,000 clown show.

Arnett?s 2 million doesn't count?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Bad showing by defense so far for sure, but defense has been better than our offense all year. They rank higher in total and scoring. And offense isn't exactly lighting it up

And yet, they cannot guard a passing play or a running play. They get zero pressure. And just are not even close to getting a pass deflections or a turnover.

We were not ready today. Simple as that.

[maroonmania]

Are we behind far enough now to start playing?

[msudawg1200]

They already have 220 yards. We have 58.

[magrooder]

AU is so much quicker than us on both sides of the ball it ain't funny

[Statecoachingblows**]

Good god

[Homedawg]

Every flag these pricks have to get together and figure out how to make it benefit Auburn.
Their defense has fouled our offense into submission

You really think it's refs fault?? Good grief

[msstate7]

**** Arnett and **** yall that have sucked his sorry ass off for 2 years.

Sec ranks for miss state:
Total offense - 7th
Scoring offense - 12th

Total D - 4th
Scoring D - 9th

[EdwardDrayton]

Good thing we shored up the kicking game this week.

[Saltydog]

Will has no pocket presence at all. Can't take a sack there.

[HoopsDawg]

LOL, nice checkdown on 3rd and 11. This is UGLY.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Might as well take a knee when you throw it late 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage.

[Doggie_Style]

Poor recruiting has consequences

[magrooder]

If they keep rushing the punter like that they WILL block a punt today

[Maverick91]

Did we practice this week?

Rogers has got to get his head in this game.

[msudawg1200]

At least we aren't Florida? Amirite?

[R2Dawg]

Ruiz is an NFL caliber kicker that got hurt.

He played last week and no injuries. Excuse.

[maroonmania]

On the bright side, at least there will be no worries about SEC officials screwing us out of a game this week. We are taking care of matters ourselves.

[BayouDawg]

Thankfully I am about to head over to LSU for some tailgating. Bringing some of my smoked ribs and my fine woman to salvage the day.

[KOdawg1]

Poor execution, effort, give-a-shit, system has consequences

FIFY. Recruiting has been what it's always been.

[BulldogBear]

I hate Auburn

No one in the SEC takes us less seriously yet at the same time other than Iron Bowl we are their Super Bowl. Paradox.

[ShotgunDawg]

Will has no pocket presence at all. Can't take a sack there.

That was awful QB play there.

[ShotgunDawg]

He played last week and no injuries. Excuse.

Yes. He's been hurt all year & trying to play through it

[ShotgunDawg]

I hate Auburn

No one in the SEC takes us less seriously yet at the same time other than Iron Bowl we are their Super Bowl. Paradox.

They typically play their best game of the year vs us. It's odd.

Conversely, we usually get A&M's worst game of the year

[MBDawg601]

Thankfully I am about to head over to LSU for some tailgating. Bringing some of my smoked ribs and my fine woman to salvage the day.

Sounds fun, be safe!

[BayouDawg]

Bad showing by defense so far for sure, but defense has been better than our offense all year. They rank higher in total and scoring. And offense isn't exactly lighting it up

I agree. But today there is enough blame to spread to everyone and then some.

[R2Dawg]

Poor recruiting has consequences

Ha, and we thought Mullen recruiting was bad.

[Saltydog]

Nix is not this good. We're just that bad.

[ShotgunDawg]

This is incredible. How are they so wide open?

[Bothrops]

No DC could mask up the lack of speed we have on D. Not sure what you people think a different DC could do with it.

[HoopsDawg]

Damn, I miss being able to run the ball like AU is against us.

[State82]

Arnett?s 2 million doesn't count?

Arnett is a shit show. But the shit show reports to the clown show thereby make the whole shootin' match a cluster 17.

[R2Dawg]

I agree. But today there is enough blame to spread to everyone and then some.

Agree, everywhere but one - Leach is greatest coach in MSU history.

[ShotgunDawg]

This is a complete tank job.

Someone has to be fired today. We just can't accept this type of effort

[Dawgology]

Clearly our coaches message was to get through the game and get out. No difference between a 6 win and 7 win bowl game. That’s too bad.

[msudawg1200]

Will Nix throw an incompletion today?

[DownwardDawg]

I never pick games and usually don't respond to prediction threads, but this one was easy to pick. I'm still gonna watch the whole thing but we are over matched badly.

[Dawgology]

This is a complete tank job.

Someone has to be fired today. We just can't accept this type of effort

Lol. Not at State. This is acceptable based on our program standards

[msstate7]

This is a complete tank job.

Someone has to be fired today. We just can't accept this type of effort

Who do you fire? You realize leach is responsible for this, right?

[BeardoMSU]

But the shit show reports to the clown show thereby make the whole shootin' match a cluster 17.

That's like a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, inside a conundrum...

[Saltydog]

I never pick games and usually don't respond to prediction threads, but this one was easy to pick. I'm still gonna watch the whole thing but we are over matched badly.

You will be chastised by the all knowing shotgun for saying this but it's 100% true.......

[BeardoMSU]

This is clearly Lane Kiffin's fault for picking us on Gameday.**

[ShotgunDawg]

Even when we have good coverage, they make a play

[msstate7]

I agree. But today there is enough blame to spread to everyone and then some.

Well jt seems to all be falling on arnett. The buck stops with... arnett! His bum ass has held us to 57 offensive yards

[RocketDawg]

Did we practice this week?

Rogers has got to get his head in this game.

Apparently just kicker tryouts.

[Maroonthirteen]

Who do you fire? You realize leach is responsible for this, right?

He will make 100x posts blaming Rogers.

[BeardoMSU]

At least made him work for that catch, but fuuuuuuuuuuuccccck.

[Maverick91]

You cannot do much with 1 handed catches.

[ShotgunDawg]

Emerson losing a lot of money today

[RocketDawg]

This is the worst defense we've had in a looong time, and that's saying something.

[msstate7]

It would be quite ironic if the final is 49-3 the week after our HC pinned the loss on the kicker

[R2Dawg]

Yes. He's been hurt all year & trying to play through it

So why was Leach playing a hurt kicker the whole game?

[Maverick91]

And that was against Emerson

[RocketDawg]

Kiffin jixed us with his pick.

[R2Dawg]

Emerson losing a lot of money today

Emerson was all over him, that was a great catch.

Gun you have lost it.

[parabrave]

Dam we haven't got our ass kicked since 3 weeks ago.

[Bothrops]

I hate Auburn

No one in the SEC takes us less seriously yet at the same time other than Iron Bowl we are their Super Bowl. Paradox.

They are better at every single individual spot on both sides.

[NCDawg]

We're giving Nix a chance for the Heisman and in two weeks we'll give Corral a chance for the Heisman.

[Maverick91]

I say we move this game to a neutral site. They have some weird voodoo at their house against us.

[RocketDawg]

On the bright side, we're not getting beat as bad as New Mexico State is. It's 42-3 in Tuscaloosa.

[OLJWales]

I never pick games and usually don't respond to prediction threads, but this one was easy to pick. I'm still gonna watch the whole thing but we are over matched badly.

I don't totally agree based on previous efforts this year vs top 20 . this is an example of Leach's Bi-polar Resume. He has brought his WTF's to Vegas.

[parabrave]

Dang Corral is gonna set a ncaa passing record in the 1st half against us

[R2Dawg]

Another BS call, Heath hardly touched him.

[parabrave]

And the bust shoves a player in the back.

[Maverick91]

Heath is stupid

[ShotgunDawg]

Ticky tack block in the back. Just stupid

[maroonmania]

Heath should be put on the bench just for stupidity.

[ShotgunDawg]

Heath should be put on the bench just for stupidity.

If the foul happened past the 1st down, why isn't it a 1st down?

[ShotgunDawg]

Should've been targeting there. Hit our guy in the head

[Maverick91]

That should have been targeting on Williams.

[DownwardDawg]

We need a TD some kind of bad right here.

[maroonmania]

Ticky tack block in the back. Just stupid

Yep, there was such little contact normally they would just let that go. But SEC refs absolutely won't let that go when its us.

[parabrave]

Even Matt said wtf was heath even thinking about touching the guy.

[Matt3467]

Yep, there was such little contact normally they would just let that go. But SEC refs absolutely won't let that go when its us.

We're two sec calls that I can think of right now from being 7-2. Memphis and Arkansas.

[ShotgunDawg]

That should have been targeting on Williams.

It was. No shot we get a call though

[Maverick91]

Another BS call, Heath hardly touched him.

Unfortunately it still counts. It was the right call, if you cannot touch their chest you don’t touch em.

[Maverick91]

At least we aren’t Florida

[ShotgunDawg]

we're going to score too quick again

[Maverick91]

This is a good drive. When Rogers wakes up we will move the ball.

[msstate7]

Alright D, O trying to get back in the this, so man up

[Maverick91]

That’s solid! Come on D!

[ShotgunDawg]

Needed that. Let's get the ball back & score again before half

[msudawg1200]

Did we leave them too much time?

[msstate7]

we're going to score too quick again

Got TOs. With some luck, maybe we can get the ball back

ETA... only 1 To, so unlikely

[OLJWales]

Unfortunately it still counts. It was the right call, if you cannot touch their chest you don’t touch em.

The question is what percentage does that play get flagged?

[ShotgunDawg]

This is a good drive. When Rogers wakes up we will move the ball.

Something seems to click halfway through the 2nd quarter. It's happened in almost every game

[ShotgunDawg]

Got TOs. With some luck, maybe we can get the ball back

Our defense has given up TDs in 6 of the last 7 possessions vs us including a missed FG by Arkansas.

It's been putrid

[Maverick91]

This can become a game. It’s not one yet, but it can be.

[magrooder]

Alright he we come roaring back into the game. **

[NCDawg]

Pretty apparent if we have any hopes of getting back in the game we have to put much more pressure on Nix. We're giving him way too much time.

[ShotgunDawg]

Glad that guy lost some yards

[Matt3467]

That's why you don't call timeout

[msstate7]

Bo nix is playing great. When he plays great, auburn is as good as anyone.

[maroonmania]

Auburn is going to end up scoring a TD on EVERY 1st half possession.

[ShotgunDawg]

Emerson beat again. Dude has lost a couple Mil today

[Matt3467]

I don't trust this defense at all. We're slow and lazy

[maroonmania]

Our defense looks FCS level this week.

[ShotgunDawg]

The lack of a pass rush has destroyed our defense. There is not much we can do

[Bothrops]

Meanwhile in Gainesville Samford 42 Gators 35

[PGHBulldogBG]

I?m trying to figure out what happened in the locker room at halftime of the Ark game to our defense. There must?ve been some kind of incident because I?ve never seen a defense go from solid to worst in the league

[ShotgunDawg]

I?m trying to figure out what happened in the locker room at halftime of the Ark game to our defense. There must?ve been some kind of incident because I?ve never seen a defense go from solid to worst in the league

I'm curious as well

[Matt3467]

The lack of a pass rush has destroyed our defense. There is not much we can do

What a difference a Sweat, Simmons, or Jones would do for our defense

[msstate7]

This is a huge play

[ShotgunDawg]

First bad throw of the day by Nix

[ShotgunDawg]

Finally. The steak has ended. The steak of 5 straight TD drives has ended

[msstate7]

First bad throw of the day by Nix

2 in a row following the sack

[ShotgunDawg]

We got a little time to get a FG try

[msudawg1200]

Nix will go 9-28 for 80 yards and two picks vs SC next week. One of the most inconsistent players I've seen from week to week. We got the great version this week.

[msstate7]

A spike out the gun is so weird

[ShotgunDawg]

Maybe pump an our route here & go deep

[msstate7]

Rogers arm is really weak for an sec qb

[maroonmania]

Come on Will, from that distance you can't even get a throw into the end zone?

[ShotgunDawg]

Terrible arm strength. Woof

[Matt3467]

Uh what was that... also disappointed Will couldn't get that to the end zone even with a running start

[OLJWales]

I?m trying to figure out what happened in the locker room at halftime of the Ark game to our defense. There must?ve been some kind of incident because I?ve never seen a defense go from solid to worst in the league

You gotta try REAL hard to pull off a 180 to this ridiculous degree. Makes NO sense. NONE.

[Bothrops]

Rogers arm is really weak for an sec qb

He's little. Little shoulders, little arms

[msstate7]

He's little. Little shoulders, little arms

The more I've watched this offense, it might not even matter. Most everything is within 15 yards. He's accurate.

[WhiskeyPirate]

Rogers arm is really weak for an sec qb

Of course it is, it severely l8mits the offense when you can’t stretch the field more than 25 yards

They will ban you on six pack speak if you say wills arm is weak. It is. The sky is blue, water is wet. Good kid but my goodness his arm is weak.

[Bothrops]

The more I've watched this offense, it might not even matter. Most everything is within 15 yards. He's accurate.

He is accurate except in the 1st quarter

[CzarBulldawgRic]

We still in the game! Keep on grindin! Hail State!

[Maverick91]

We are about to learn a lot from the first drive.

[msstate7]

Of course it is, it severely l8mits the offense when you can’t stretch the field more than 25 yards

They will ban you on six pack speak if you say wills arm is weak. It is. The sky is blue, water is wet. Good kid but my goodness his arm is weak.

I don't remember watching much of leach at his previous stops. Is our 15-yard attack area the norm or is this bc of Will's arm?

[maroonmania]

The more I've watched this offense, it might not even matter. Most everything is within 15 yards. He's accurate.

Yep, but its pretty obvious why he wasn't rated higher as a recruit. His size and arm strength is really something you would normally see in the G5 or FCS.

[FISHDAWG]

We still in the game! Keep on grindin! Hail State!

We were NEVER in it

[OLJWales]

We still in the game! Keep on grindin! Hail State!

WTF? Enforcer?

[ShotgunDawg]

Gotta score right here

[ShotgunDawg]

Woody tackled from behind with 10 yards in front of him

[RocketDawg]

I wonder if the shadows on the field are as bad in person as they appear on TV.

[ShotgunDawg]

Nice job

[ShotgunDawg]

Good job by Rogers there

[WhiskeyPirate]

Yep, but its pretty obvious why he wasn't rated higher as a recruit. His size and arm strength is really something you would normally see in the G5 or FCS.

Look at sunbelt q b s. Nearly every one of them has a stronger arm. I am all for giving sawyer and Locke full shots at the starting job next year.

Leach usually won’t play freshman at q b though.

[Maverick91]

What a drive! Come on D!

[CzarBulldawgRic]

Game on beotiches!

[magrooder]

Need the d to wake up now

[msudawg1200]

Well, if the D can do anything we might can get back in this thing

[ShotgunDawg]

Confidence builder on the extra point

[Matt3467]

Who was the holding on i didnt hear?

[Maverick91]

Man, this is good cooking! If we can hold them here. Man come in D!

[ShotgunDawg]

Did Auburn take their own crowd out of the game by getting up so quick?

[Maverick91]

Did Auburn take their own crowd out of the game by getting up so quick?

Gosh I hope so!

[WhiskeyPirate]

Amazing how the crooked officials will call a PI when the game is out of hand but in the first quarter horse collar tackles and holding receivers the officials turned a blind eye.

Sec officiating is the dirtiest in the country IMO.

[ShotgunDawg]

We need an INT. Something to turn the game

[ShotgunDawg]

here we go. huge possession here. Hopefully we made adjustments

[Maverick91]

We need an INT. Something to turn the game

I’ll take a punt

[ShotgunDawg]

Good heavens.

[ShotgunDawg]

Ok. Here we go. Gotta get a stop here

[ShotgunDawg]

Good job defense. Here we go

[BeardoMSU]

Our special teams, lol. Holy hell.

[WhiskeyPirate]

Wow first punt all day ?

[ShotgunDawg]

Our special teams, lol. Holy hell.

At least they didn't screw up

[msudawg1200]

Damn, we lose the Special Teams battle every week

[Maverick91]

97 yards let’s go!

[Matt3467]

We seem to not field punts quite often and just let them land where they may.

[BeardoMSU]

At least they didn't screw up

I guess muffing it would've been slightly worse than getting the ball on our own 2, lol.

[msstate7]

At least they didn't screw up

Shoulda fielded the punt

[Maverick91]

We score here this is a completely different game. Even a field goal is huge!

[vindastra]

Whoever the special teams coach is, should be left behind.

[ShotgunDawg]

97 yards let’s go!

Score & we're going to win

[WhiskeyPirate]

Maybe Nix will go cold here and start choking, and the D gets a little confidence

[ShotgunDawg]

Shoulda fielded the punt

Yes, but at this point, I'm just happy they didn't turn it over

[ShotgunDawg]

huge play by Walley

[Maverick91]

I hope we get bad Bo this half!!

[ShotgunDawg]

We can't run it on them. Dumb idea there

[ShotgunDawg]

HUGE PI

[ShotgunDawg]

That would've been a big play if not tipped

[ShotgunDawg]

Wow. We got that off. Bad TO

[msstate7]

Wow, a TO down 11 in the 3rd on our side of the field

[ShotgunDawg]

Wow, a TO down 11 in the 3rd on our side of the field

It's a big drive. I just thought we got the play off

[ShotgunDawg]

Feels like the other team's pass rushers get tired vs our offense at some point. So, then they send more guy which opens the offense

[msstate7]

It's a big drive. I just thought we got the play off

I don't agree with that TO. I'd rather 3rd and 7

[BeardoMSU]

That was a really good throw into a tiny window.

[ShotgunDawg]

Dime

[msstate7]

That was a really good throw into a tiny window.

Anf great protection.

[ShotgunDawg]

Ra Ra should be fine. Not sure what he hurt there

[BeardoMSU]

These bubbles aren't working.

[magrooder]

We suck at screen passes

[Maverick91]

Yeah! Our oline is doing well these first two drives.

[ShotgunDawg]

Anf great protection.

I think our offense wears out pass rushers

[Matt3467]

don't think any of these screens have gained positive yards today

[BeardoMSU]

Whoa boy!

[ShotgunDawg]

4 down territory

[magrooder]

That a way to go Heath

[ShotgunDawg]

atta boy Malik

[ShotgunDawg]

Look at dem 17ing dawgs

[BeardoMSU]

Lol. We just decide when we feel like playing like a well-oiled machine.

[magrooder]

Johnson with the six!! Great drive by the O

[Maverick91]

Good job boys! This is great!

[msstate7]

Leach learning from last week, and going for 2 this time

[BeardoMSU]

Knew we wouldn't get the 2....

[msstate7]

That was the right decision to go even though it failed

[vindastra]

Lashley

[ShotgunDawg]

Leach learning from last week, and going for 2 this time

Don't like it this early. They can't stop us. No sense to give up a point

[Matt3467]

Ole Lashley!

[parabrave]

Why can't we start games like this?

[BeardoMSU]

Maybe the D will pull their balls from inside their body and play a ****ing game.

[Maverick91]

That is so stupid! It’s to early, we just gave them a little momentum.

[ShotgunDawg]

That was the right decision to go even though it failed

I don't love it this early. We may need that point later

[ShotgunDawg]

Ole Lashley!

Will had plenty of time

[ShotgunDawg]

Come on defense. Gotta get it done

[Irondawg]

Yeah I think going for 2 that early was a bad move

[Matt3467]

I'm not sure about the 2pt conversion anyway with or FG woes. Now all they need is a fg to make us have to convert a 2pt play.

[WhiskeyPirate]

Don't like it this early. They can't stop us. No sense to give up a point

Agree keep it at 4 points, no faith in that 2 pt attempt

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Don't like it this early. They can't stop us. No sense to give up a point

I agree. I don’t like it in the third quarter. Now a FG by Auburn makes it an 8 point game instead of 7. Too many possessions left.

[ShotgunDawg]

Let's go defense. 1 more

[HancockCountyDog]

We are winning this game. AU is running a bunch of man defense.

They are toast.

[BeardoMSU]

Great job, D.... **** off.

[BhamDawg]

That was the right decision to go even though it failed

No it wasn?t. Way to early to go for it. Now if they get a field goal we are down 8. Another stupid decision be Leach.

[msstate7]

Welp, we got to get better safety talent

[ShotgunDawg]

ball game. Horrid. Duncan sucks

[Matt3467]

Will had plenty of time

Will should've moved instead of being a statue in the pocket but Lashley did get blown up.

[maroonmania]

Why in the world did we go for 2 this early? That is going to bite us in the butt.

[Maverick91]

How was that not a fumble

[ShotgunDawg]

Hold them to a FG

[parabrave]

Dam is Aubbie lucky today with those big plays.

[magrooder]

Maybe we should play a scrimmage for a quarter at a local high school before every damn game

[BeardoMSU]

They held 'em at least.

[msstate7]

No it wasn?t. Way to early to go for it. Now if they get a field goal we are down 8. Another stupid decision be Leach.

I like it. The analytics like it. Just bc it didn't work out doesn't mean it was wrong

[ShotgunDawg]

Need a pick 6

[BeardoMSU]

Woah!!!!! Blocked FG.

[ShotgunDawg]

Good job defense. I'll take it

[Matt3467]

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

Woah!!!!! Blocked FG.

BOOM MFERs
