MSU/Auburn Game Thread

[ShotgunDawg]

Let's go. Let's try not to get down 10-0 before playing well this week!

[preachermatt83]

If we were in Starkville I’d pick us. In auburn I’m gonna go barners 27-21

[parabrave]

Ha on National TV in the Grove Kiffen just picked State to beat Aubbie calling Leach the best Offensive mind in the country

[Quaoarsking]

Lane Kiffin of all people picked us to win on Gameday.

[mparkerfd20]

Kiffen gave us the kiss of death as the lone host picking us to win on GameDay. Said "Mike Leach is the best offensive coach in America".

[Lord McBuckethead]

Kiffen gave us the kiss of death as the lone host picking us to win on GameDay. Said "Mike Leach is the best offensive coach in America".

Well, that was nice of him. WTF. Some Jedi mind trick shit.

[ShotgunDawg]

LFG!!!!

[BeardoMSU]

****ing Jordan Rogers...

[parabrave]

Well we need to make Nix beat us. Take away the run game and see which Bo shows up.

[ShotgunDawg]

Hopefully Arnett took his thinking pills this morning

[ShotgunDawg]

We deferreed. Come on defense

[ShotgunDawg]

Why is the clock running?

[ShotgunDawg]

Our defense is completely lost. Absurdly bad

[msstate7]

And that's why I'm terrified of OM's offense

[parabrave]

Well crap guess we get good Bo today.

[Saltydog]

Lack of a rush is killing this team......

[RocketDawg]

Hopefully Arnett took his thinking pills this morning

Apparently he did not. Two plays in and they're well inside the red zone. 1st and goal from the 8 or 9.

[ShotgunDawg]

So much for a good start. Arnett is starting to make me frustrated

[mparkerfd20]

Arnett is not the great coach yall think he is. Never has been.

[ShotgunDawg]

Lack of a rush is killing this team......

Yeah. It's really bad

[parabrave]

Our defense is completely lost. Absurdly bad

Emerson fell down

[maroonmania]

Did our defense even make the trip?

[ShotgunDawg]

Our defense stinks

[trob115]

Opening kickoff was a fumble. It should have been our ball

[Saltydog]

When you're that open most any QB in the country could make that throw......

[Bothrops]

Arnett is not the great coach yall think he is. Never has been.

Bullshit

[preachermatt83]

Our pass rush or lack thereof, and our safeties is killing us.

[Maverick91]

Well that sucked!

[RocketDawg]

Touchdown Auburn. Just over 2 minutes into the game.

[ShotgunDawg]

Emerson fell down

That's on him. Can't happen.

Stuff like that is happening way too often

[preachermatt83]

Arnett is not the great coach yall think he is. Never has been.

I agree. I think he is a decent coach. Not great by any stretch.

[KOdawg1]

Told y'all it would be tough to go to Jordan Hare and win.

We've shit our pants the last few times there. This one looks to be similar.

[ShotgunDawg]

Touchdown Auburn. Just over 2 minutes into the game.

Our defense stinks. Completely unacceptable to come out like this yet again. Every game it's the story

[maroonmania]

So Auburn's already scored more today in less that 3 minutes than they scored the entire game against A&M last week.

[msudawg1200]

Another great start. We'd better wake the hell up or this will get ugly quick. Mix plays off emotion. We'd better answer.

[CadaverDawg]

Piss poor. Our defense has quit this season. They look like a different unit the last two games. Disgusting.

[preachermatt83]

We may be about to be ran out of the building.

[State82]

Arnett is not the great coach yall think he is. Never has been.

Yeah, I never got that idea either. He is just not.

[Maverick91]

What happened with that long pass? It looked like Forbes was the one in coverage and he was like 10 yards away.

[Doggie_Style]

Auburn ask if we wanted some breakfast then hit us with the skillet…again

[ShotgunDawg]

We're turning into OM's defense fast. We absolutely stink on defense

[Saltydog]

Gonna be a LONG day.....

[Dawgology]

Arnett isn’t going ANYWHERe in the off season. Wow…. Great defensive coaching there hahaha

[maroonmania]

I've had a feeling this game would be a disaster. We stink in 11:00 games and we stink at Auburn. That spells a bad loss.

[ShotgunDawg]

Another great start. We'd better wake the hell up or this will get ugly quick. Mix plays off emotion. We'd better answer.

It's every week. So sick of it.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well that looked easy.

[trob115]

So nobody is still talking about the fumble on the kickoff. Replay showed a clear fumble and we recovered it. Should have been our ball

[ShotgunDawg]

Arnett isn’t going ANYWHERe in the off season. Wow…. Great defensive coaching there hahaha

He'll be lucky if Leach keeps him after this disaster

[preachermatt83]

I think arnett relies to heavily on in game adjustments(which he is good at) and doesn’t prepare and plan as much as he should.

[Dawgology]

Gonna be a LONG day.....

No defensive pass rush. They were good against Tamu and Kentucky and that’s about it this season

[CadaverDawg]

That was like choosing Alabama on PlayStation and facing Prairie View A&M. Couldn't have been an easier drive for TD. That was embarrassing

[ShotgunDawg]

So nobody is still talking about the fumble on the kickoff. Replay showed a clear fumble and we recovered it. Should have been our ball

I think the guy's knee was down & Auburn recovered

[PikeDawg15]

We're turning into OM's defense fast. We absolutely stink on defense

Gonna be a very long day?..

[msudawg1200]

So nobody is still talking about the fumble on the kickoff. Replay showed a clear fumble and we recovered it. Should have been our ball

I saw it. SEC officials. Rinse,repeat.

[R2Dawg]

Our defense stinks. Completely unacceptable to come out like this yet again. Every game it's the story

D gave up a big play.

If our D stinks, what is our O?

Just curious, you are so quick to throw our best unit under the bus. Gun you can't be objective about anything.

[Bothrops]

Our pass rush or lack thereof, and our safeties is killing us.

Two positions where or talent lacks

[CadaverDawg]

So nobody is still talking about the fumble on the kickoff. Replay showed a clear fumble and we recovered it. Should have been our ball

1) our coaches don't care enough to challenge, so why should we

2) doesn't excuse that defensive effort

[ShotgunDawg]

You can be rest assured that whatever the opponent does to start a game, we'll be completely unprepared for it

[parabrave]

Well we need to get going now not in the 2nd QTR

[Dawgology]

So nobody is still talking about the fumble on the kickoff. Replay showed a clear fumble and we recovered it. Should have been our ball

Should have challenges it then that’s on coaching staff to do and they had plenty of time to do it. If that is their approach this game then they’ve mailed it in before we even showed up.

[ShotgunDawg]

D gave up a big play.

If our D stinks, what is our O?

Just curious, you are so quick to throw our best unit under the bus. Gun you can't be objective about anything.

They haven't been our best unit recently.

[ShotgunDawg]

Nice break for us for that ball to go out of bounds

[ShotgunDawg]

That was terrible PI

He was dragging Ra Ra

[parabrave]

Well I guess we are the only ones who get called for holding.

[ShotgunDawg]

Atta boy Woody

[R2Dawg]

Score here and we get a do over since we deferred.

[Matt3467]

That was terrible PI

He was dragging Ra Ra

Will needed to lead him more though

[ShotgunDawg]

Nice job Ford

[ShotgunDawg]

Huge penalty. HOLY SHIT

[trob115]

Pisses me off. Should have been our ball on their 30

[ShotgunDawg]

Pisses me off. Should have been our ball on their 30

Have you seen a replay?

[ShotgunDawg]

What? No foul?.

[msstate7]

Marks is getting better and better.

[Bothrops]

There just ain't no winning at Auburn

[ShotgunDawg]

There just ain't no winning at Auburn

I don't understand how that's not a foul

[Maverick91]

I don't understand how that's not a foul

Didn’t grab the face mask.

[Fader21]

I hate having a top 20 defense.

[Statecoachingblows**]

I don't understand how that's not a foul

Well, you see we are Mississippi State

[trob115]

Yes, ran back the dvr in slow motion. Ball was moving before his knee hit

[Bothrops]

I don't understand how that's not a foul

I thought is was a horse collar

[ShotgunDawg]

Yes, ran back the dvr in slow motion. Ball was moving before his knee hit

Did you see us cover it?

[Dawgology]

There just ain't no winning at Auburn

Yep. I’ve pretty much accepted 6-6 for this season. Is what it is. A season a “shoulda” and “woulda”. Hopefully this doesn’t become a pattern.

[Maverick91]

I don't understand how that's not a foul

It should have been a horse collar. There is no way a running back gets twisted that badly without the defender grabbing something outside of jersey.

[KOdawg1]

Stupid ass play call. Just stupid

[MaroonFlounder]

So nobody is still talking about the fumble on the kickoff. Replay showed a clear fumble and we recovered it. Should have been our ball

Leach never challenges unless it's in desperation near the end of the game.

[Lord McBuckethead]

How the heck are we 4th and 1 right now? Face mask?

[ShotgunDawg]

We never catch passes in traffic.

Complete screw job on that no call

[trob115]

Yes number 34 jumped on it.

[ShotgunDawg]

Nice job

[Fader21]

It should have been a horse collar. There is no way a running back gets twisted that badly without the defender grabbing something outside of jersey.

Horse collar is grabbing the back of the shoulder pads and bringing him down from behind. Not a horse collar at all.

[KOdawg1]

Targeting but I expect them to pick it up... bc why the hell not

[ShotgunDawg]

Catch the damn ball guys

[ShotgunDawg]

Targeting but I expect them to pick it up... bc why the hell not

No doubt. May as well go ahead & pick it up

[KOdawg1]

That's not even close to targeting

[msudawg1200]

That was actually the correct call

[ShotgunDawg]

On the chin. It's a target. I bet they pick it up though. Worse than Emerson's

[msstate7]

Good call

[R2Dawg]

They haven't been our best unit recently.

Yearly stats, those are the facts.

[ShotgunDawg]

The refs have picked up like 3 flags already for Auburn

[msstate7]

Holding on us

[KOdawg1]

We can't get out of our own damn way.

Oh, cut Lashley

[ShotgunDawg]

Calvin was pushed before the ball got there

[mparkerfd20]

By rule that was targeting but they aren't going to call that.

[Matt3467]

I can't stand Lashley. Hes a liability every single game

[msstate7]

Got a break here.

Bad throw

[ShotgunDawg]

Our WRs are stinking today

[msstate7]

Lol, DA

[HaggardDawg]

I?d trade Hevesy for mason Miller right now

[ShotgunDawg]

Good job Will. We're so dangerous when he moves around

[KOdawg1]

CUT LASHLEY

[Matt3467]

Lashley again!

[Saltydog]

Scott Lashley is just not good. He may be the most undisciplined OL I've ever seen.

[ShotgunDawg]

Damn Lashely

[Maverick91]

Ight he needs to go

[Matt3467]

No wonder he didn't touch the field at bama

[mparkerfd20]

Lashley is a waste of fat ass

[BayouDawg]

Im convinced Saban sent us Lashley to sabotage us

[vindastra]

Lashley has no business playing...

[ShotgunDawg]

Lashley again!

He's a one man wrecking crew

[starkvegasdawg]

Can that dumbass not watch the football in the center's hand?

[MoreCowbell]

Will is off today

[ShotgunDawg]

Will is just a little off.

[MBDawg601]

Counting 4 drops on this opening drive. We are sleep walking our way down field. Not sure how.

[BayouDawg]

We have had some deep throws open and will has missed them.

[Matt3467]

This won't be the last penalty on Lashley this game and the next won't be either.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We?re we not just second and 1.

[Dawgology]

Lashley is a wasted scholarship. Between him and our ST it’s tough to win.

[RocketDawg]

Uh oh - Field goal time.

[ShotgunDawg]

That's not going to cut it Will

[vindastra]

A "muzzled" Hevesy is really needed for this team.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hold up. We were 2nd and 1. False start. How did we get to 3rd and 11?

[ShotgunDawg]

Unreal. Delay of game on special teams. you can't make this stuff up

[KOdawg1]

Aye good kick

Another almost bad snap

[MBDawg601]

WE MADE A KICK?

[starkvegasdawg]

We should get 5 points for a FG.

[vindastra]

Yay, a field goal

[BayouDawg]

Hold up. We were 2nd and 1. False start. How did we get to 3rd and 11?

This always happen in damn auburn.

[ShotgunDawg]

WOW. Nice drive.

Defense has to get going & Will has to find his accuracy. Timing is off right now

[Dawgology]

So far Lashley has a holding and false start which killed our drive. He?s been blown up or allowed pressure 3 times on that drive as well. I?ve been watching him on every play.

[trob115]

Will missed a wide open touchdown. Can't miss those throws

[MaroonFlounder]

Shocked the FG went thru the uprights

[R2Dawg]

There just ain't no winning at Auburn

I've said it for years, you got to be 2 TDs better than Aub to win there. Saw it first hand in 2011 on several game changing calls that were just out right cheating.

[parabrave]

Will is just a little off.

He is throwing off his back foot because #78 can't block shit. Also all pass plays and not one run.

[MBDawg601]

If we can sleep walk our way into field goal range I feel pretty good. Once we actually wake up.

[R2Dawg]

Hold up. We were 2nd and 1. False start. How did we get to 3rd and 11?

They gave him a first down I think

[RocketDawg]

Hold up. We were 2nd and 1. False start. How did we get to 3rd and 11?

I thought we were 1st and 1, got a motion penalty, then it was 1st and 15. Should've been 1st and 6.

[ShotgunDawg]

Will missed a wide open touchdown. Can't miss those throws

He did. It usually takes us a little while to find our rhythm on offense. At least we got 3 points quick today

[OLJWales]

So far Lashley has a holding and false start which killed our drive. He?s been blown up or allowed pressure 3 times on that drive as well. I?ve been watching him on every play.

Damn.

[ShotgunDawg]

our defense has to get it's shit together

[R2Dawg]

Sad that a HC doesn't know he has a kicker until game 10 of the season that we have to do tryouts with 2 games left?

Can anyone explain this to me?

If you don't have a kicker hold tryouts like before the season.

[RocketDawg]

Their trick play worked, but maybe block in the back?

[Maverick91]

I’m actually pretty pleased with how this game is going.

[MBDawg601]

Don in a dog fight with Samford right now. Flipped over at commercial break.

[ShotgunDawg]

people are just exposing our special teams

[ShotgunDawg]

Sad that a HC doesn't know he has a kicker until game 10 of the season that we have to do tryouts with 2 games left?

Can anyone explain this to me?

If you don't have a kicker hold tryouts like before the season.

Ruiz is an NFL caliber kicker that got hurt.

[OLJWales]

We need A no score stop here. Yall impressed with my football IQ?

[ShotgunDawg]

Come on defense. Terrible

[RocketDawg]

So far Lashley has a holding and false start which killed our drive. He?s been blown up or allowed pressure 3 times on that drive as well. I?ve been watching him on every play.

Gotta wonder why he's still in the game.

[Maverick91]

D has to wrap up.

[ShotgunDawg]

Auburn going to run for 250 today?

[RocketDawg]

We need A no score stop here. Yall impressed with my football IQ?

Astounding. Don't think anybody knew that. **

[ShotgunDawg]

This is like shit through a tin horn

[maroonmania]

Our vaunted run D looking bad.

[BeardoMSU]

Of course that shit works against us.

[KOdawg1]

We're done. 6-6 here we come

[parabrave]

Jeez/

[ShotgunDawg]

This defense is horse shit

[Activated Alpha]

Yup. Our defense has sucked the back half of the season. We will have to outscore everybody...

[magrooder]

Defense looks like dog shit. Unreal

[msudawg1200]

Our defense is dogshit

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm having a hard time believing this is an MSU defense. Just absolutely horrid

[maroonmania]

Making Auburn's offense look stellar.

[CadaverDawg]

I'm done. If the D is done for the year, so am i

[Dawgology]

This defense is soooooooooooi easy to beat. Arkansas laid the blueprint. We cannot defend the option. Plus we are sloooooooooooooow

[msudawg1200]

Pretty shitty effort by our safety there

[starkvegasdawg]

Why do we want to keep Arnett?

[msstate7]

We need guys that break a play like that.

[CovertDawg]

Our defensive players look like they are jogging out there. Ridiculous.

[ShotgunDawg]

Auburn had an OL 10 yards down field

How is there no penalty?

[BayouDawg]

Offense starting to come around the last few weeks and the defense goes to shit. Why am I not surprised?

[BayouDawg]

Auburn had an OL 10 yards down field

It was a backwards pass so that may be legal.

[MBDawg601]

We need guys that break a play like that.

Without Tulu, not sure we have the speed.

[msudawg1200]

Auburn had an OL 10 yards down field

If it wasn't a forward pass that's legal

[msstate7]

Our defense is dogshit

Rank higher in sec than our offense in total and scoring

[Maverick91]

They definitely have our D’s number right now. They have to wake up.

Let’s go O, we farted around and moved the ball. Let’s see what we do if we don’t fart around m.

[Saltydog]

Collin Duncan is killing us. He has to get off of that block and when he did he half assed it down the field.

[ShotgunDawg]

It was a backwards pass so that may be legal.

The ref standing beside the OL 10 yards down field didn't know it was a backwards pass

[magrooder]

If your going to run the kickoff back you can't jog with it

[CadaverDawg]

We need guys that break a play like that.

Just need to play our D

[msstate7]

Auburn had an OL 10 yards down field

How is there no penalty?

Bc it was behind the LOS

[State82]

Think this is bad? Just wait until Thanksgiving and watch that debacle.

[ShotgunDawg]

If it wasn't a forward pass that's legal

The ref near the OL 10 yards down field didn't know if it was a forward or backwards pass

[Dawgology]

Lashley got beat on that play also

[ShotgunDawg]

Bc it was behind the LOS

The ref near the OL down field didn't know that

[OLJWales]

This shit makes no sense. 17 waiting on 5pm. Got shit to do but I'll just do an unproductive drunk on instead due to STATE.

[Matt3467]

Well we have walk ons playing in the secondary and LB corps. Hard to believe we've been this bad in recruiting.

[Coach34]

Auburn had an OL 10 yards down field

How is there no penalty?

backward pass- doesnt matter

[msstate7]

Think this is bad? Just wait until Thanksgiving and watch that debacle.

They're gonna score every drive but the ones lane doesn't convert the 4th down. Terrible matchup for us

[Statecoachingblows**]

We shouldn't run that stupid ass shovel pass ever again have we ever gotten any yards on it?

[ShotgunDawg]

Our shovel pass absolutely never works. It's too clogged up in there

[ShotgunDawg]

backward pass- doesnt matter

yet again. the ref near the OL didn't know that. There should have at least been a flag that was picked up

[Saltydog]

We wouldnt' beat them in Starkville either. They're just a much better team and that's all there is to it.

[ShotgunDawg]

Our offensive timing looks awful today. Nothing is in rhythm

[Doggie_Style]

Our D didn’t show up and Rogers is frazzled…..bout to get skull drug

[CadaverDawg]

Man, we look like shit. In every phase

[ShotgunDawg]

We wouldnt' beat them in Starkville either. They're just a much better team and that's all there is to it.

Not true.

[bobtail bob]

They are going to call one of those shuffle passes a fumble today and let it stand. I can feel it coming

[Dawgology]

Lashley beat again

[Coach34]

yet again. the ref near the OL didn't know that. There should have at least been a flag that was picked up

obviously he did. If its even close he isnt going to call it

[magrooder]

Lashley should be using a red cape, OLE'

[msstate7]

Went back and looked, the LOS was at the 43, and the pass was caught at the 41. Totally legal, shotgun

[defiantdog]

I see why lashley never played a down at Alabama.

[ShotgunDawg]

Will kept the play alive & then threw it 5 yards. Why?

[KOdawg1]

Scott Lashley is the biggest waste of space I've ever seen.

[Lord McBuckethead]

So they just hit our punter. No flag.

[Coach34]

What should scare everyone is that we dont have anybody better than Lashley to put out there

[ShotgunDawg]

Went back and looked, the LOS was at the 43, and the pass was caught at the 41. Totally legal, shotgun

I get that it was a backwards pass. My issue is that the ref near the OL 10 yards down field had no way of knowing that. It should've been a flag that was picked up, if the ref was doing his job

[Mjoelner34]

Lashley is the reason I will never get tied up in knots about who we don't sign. Pathetic!

[Coach34]

So they just hit our punter. No flag.

ball was tipped

[KOdawg1]

Auburn's offense is what I wish we had. Completely balanced attack.

[defiantdog]

So they just hit our punter. No flag.
Partially blocked

[NCDawg]

Nix has all day and Rogers has very little time.

[ShotgunDawg]

So they just hit our punter. No flag.

They say it was tipped, but no replay

[Lord McBuckethead]

Ballgame. Both of our lines are getting destroyed. WRs not catching the ball. It?s over.

[magrooder]

Seriously, did our coaches not watch any game film on auburn this week?

[BeardoMSU]

This defense is an abomination.

Arnett calls a T.O. to offer up hand-jobs for bounties, lol. Pathetic.

[MBDawg601]

21-3 is going to be tough to overcome.

[msstate7]

I get that it was a backwards pass. My issue is that the ref near the OL 10 yards down field had no way of knowing that. It should've been a flag that was picked up, if the ref was doing his job

It isn't a penalty till the ball is thrown beyond the LOs

[ShotgunDawg]

This is a downright embarrassment by our defense. This is beyond unacceptable

[Matt3467]

What should scare everyone is that we dont have anybody better than Lashley to put out there

I don't believe that

[defiantdog]

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.

[Saltydog]

Arnett and his D both suck. They're getting slapped around like the wife of a Bama fan after they lost to aTm.

[BeardoMSU]

Have they even had a contested catch so far?

[Statecoachingblows**]

We look like Dallas last weekend

[ShotgunDawg]

There guys are wide ass open every play. This is a terrible effort

[bobtail bob]

21-3 is going to be tough to overcome.

In this hell hole with the refs looking away at the fouls they are committing on most every play ? It ain’t happening

[Maverick91]

What the bull crap is an illegal snap. Nice save for what should have been a big sack.

[msstate7]

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.

6 vs vandy
17 vs Kentucky

[ShotgunDawg]

Pretty terrible 1st quarter. No effort, & laying a complete egg against another Alabama team

[Saltydog]

Scoreboard says otherwise.......

[OLJWales]

This defense is an abomination.

Arnett calls a T.O. to offer up hand-jobs for bounties, lol. Pathetic.

LOL.

[parabrave]

Well it's the 2nd Qtr so the offense will start clicking.

[State82]

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

[Bothrops]

Well we have walk ons playing in the secondary and LB corps. Hard to believe we've been this bad in recruiting.

That's where we are getting our ass kicked. These coaches need to close strong this time. We've recruited like Arizona up front.

[Bothrops]

Well it's the 2nd Qtr so the offense will start clicking.

Needs to be 4th qtr

[Matt3467]

Regardless of the refs we haven't looked good on either side. Not even close. Will is off, receivers dropping balls, Lashley in his own world, and the only reason we have any points is due to auburn ripping Sharps helmet off.

Defense has zero rush even with blitzes. We're substituting personnel for walkons to match up scheme wise and still getting drug so might as well just play the best players. Secondary horrid as usual.

[ShotgunDawg]

This defense is so awful

[MaroonFlounder]

Our shovel pass absolutely never works. It's too clogged up in there

With our OLine splits, that play should never be called against an SEc defense

[BeardoMSU]

That's where we are getting our ass kicked. These coaches need to close strong this time. We've recruited like Arizona up front.

We have to get Washington State quality players for this to work, especially on Defense**

[BayouDawg]

Peter Sirmon loves this defense
