MSU/ TN State Game Thread

[ShotgunDawg]

Small crowd today is expected. 63K next Thursday & 2 hours away from any metro area isn't a good formula when playing a 1AA team.

Let's just get through this & ready for Thurs

[Vandownbytheriver]

Special teams already killing it early

[ShotgunDawg]

Special teams already killing it early

it's fascinating how bad they are. We'd be 8-2 right now with average kickers. #1 thing we've got fix this off season. Maybe 9-1

[ShotgunDawg]

Walley with a fumble. It's just amazing how dysfunctional the special teams are

[ZedFedder]

The gray jerseys are better looking on TV. I like them. And TSU jerseys are sweet.

[Catfish]

Uniforms don't look that bad on the field.

[Dawgology]

I’m not seeing the option to watch it on my ESPN app

[ShotgunDawg]

I guess TN State has 4 NFL DBs on that first play.

Stop playing tentative early Will

[PMDawg]

The espn app is useless. Is there a way to watch this game without having espn+ or secn+?

[ShotgunDawg]

Like the play there. Just missed it

[ShotgunDawg]

The espn app is useless. Is there a way to watch this game without having espn+ or secn+?

Correct. When they're paying the SEC the money they are to the SEC, they want to make a little more from the fan bases

[ShotgunDawg]

What a 17ing dime by Rogers. Holy shit

[Catfish]

Touchdown!!!!!

[Catfish]

Good pass and catch.

[vv83]

The espn app is useless. Is there a way to watch this game without having espn+ or secn+?

I don't think so. I just use the ESPN app on my tv and it works well

[PMDawg]

Espn still shows the game hasn't started

[ShotgunDawg]

Espn still shows the game hasn't started

Close the game on the app & reopen it

I tried that. Usually works but apparently my package doesn't include secn+

[ShotgunDawg]

TN State faking injuries on offense*

[BayouDawg]

TSU may be thinking about pulling their starters early. They have guys dropping like flies.

[Catfish]

Twice already

[ShotgunDawg]

These games are a waste of time. Our scout team would blow these guys out

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yeah, the talent and strength difference is just not safe for them. I want our guys to play clean and not have any targeting calls.

[ShotgunDawg]

If Walley gets hurt trying to be Devin Hester today, I'm going to be pissed

[ShotgunDawg]

Yeah, the talent and strength difference is just not safe for them. I want our guys to play clean and not have any targeting calls.

We're going to need to get our starters out quick. TN State is going to get chippy at some point.

Biggest thing to watch, we need no targeting calls

[WhiskeyPirate]

Don’t we have a new kicker ? I don’t really want to see these same kickers against ole miss.

[ShotgunDawg]

Like crap through a goose & shit through a tinhorn

[ShotgunDawg]

Don?t we have a new kicker ? I don?t really want to see these same kickers against ole miss.

McCord is what you're going to get. With Ruiz hurt, it's all we got. Hopefully he gains confidence today

Although, with the way our offense is playing lately, I'd go for it so long as it's a reasonable distance

[magrooder]

Marks made up for the drop with a good td run

[Lord McBuckethead]

TSU with -16 yards so far. Keep it up defense.

[ShotgunDawg]

Marks made up for the drop with a good td run

Almost got touched. OL needs to do better

[HoopsDawg]

These games are a waste of time. Our scout team would blow these guys out

could easily cut these games out across the country and have a 16 team playoff. Really a 16 team playoff is the same as a 12 team playoff without the byes.

[Commercecomet24]

Almost got touched. OL needs to do better

Cole Smith has really changed our running game. He's physical and mean.

[HoopsDawg]

Need to pull all first teamers at halftime if not before.

[Commercecomet24]

Like crap through a goose & shit through a tinhorn

No slow starts today lol

[Lord McBuckethead]

Will Rogers is coming for all of Dak?s records passing.

[Commercecomet24]

Will Rogers is coming for all of Dak?s records passing.

Not just Daks, SEC and NCAA records too(provided he stay healthy).

[Catfish]

Wheat is everywhere today.

[RocketDawg]

The espn app is useless. Is there a way to watch this game without having espn+ or secn+?

SECN+ wasn't working when the game started. Haven't checked since then. I'm just listening to Neil on SiriusXM. He's a really good announcer.

I have a feeling we'll see a backup QB pretty soon, maybe even before the half.

[ShotgunDawg]

No targeting penalties

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yeah, these games shouldn?t be played. If they want to do 1 preseason game against these guys, that have a running clock and doesn?t count and allows them to have a pay day, fine. But in this game, there are only bad things that could happen.

[RocketDawg]

Need to pull all first teamers at halftime if not before.

Yep. Don't want to risk injury, plus they need the rest. But they also don't want to get sucked into a mindset of complacency with such a weak opponent (but I don't think that'll happen with OM coming up).

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm pretty impressed by our offense though. This is easy. It was never this easy against these types when Mullen was here

[PMDawg]

Finally just started working.

[Catfish]

BOOM !!!

[Catfish]

21-0

[Lord McBuckethead]

TSU-19 yards.
Rogers 2 TDs. AWilliams 2 Rec tds

[vv83]

Let the D get one more series then let's sit all the starters

[Lord McBuckethead]

Time to pull the starters.

[Vandownbytheriver]

Uniforms don't look that bad on the field.

Look much better than the promo pics for sure

[RocketDawg]

Yeah, these games shouldn?t be played. If they want to do 1 preseason game against these guys, that have a running clock and doesn?t count and allows them to have a pay day, fine. But in this game, there are only bad things that could happen.

Agree. I hope Tennessee State is getting a really good payout for the game. They probably need it. Other than the money for the small college team, there's really no need to schedule such games. They shouldn't count for bowl eligibility at all.

I googled to see where the school is located (Nashville) and a little about the school. It's an HBCU college, with an average cost per year after aid of $10K. For families earning $30K or less, the average is $9K, but that's 1/3 of the annual family income! I don't see how they could possibly attend college under those conditions. I don't mind a little government aid at all for those folks.

[HoopsDawg]

Hopefully get to see some Knox and Hargrove.

[vindastra]

I'm pretty impressed by our offense though. This is easy. It was never this easy against these types when Mullen was here

This

[WhiskeyPirate]

Wheat is a freak athlete. Will have a long career in the nfl

[Lord McBuckethead]

Agreed. Maybe in the early 90s these type of games were a little more competitive. With SEC programs making 65 million + each year from ESPN only, those days are over.

[WhiskeyPirate]

Hopefully get to see some Knox and Hargrove.

That would be great.

Hargrove is one of the most explosive players we have.

[HoopsDawg]

Screens just don't work well against 3 man rushes.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Not ideal on the fumble. Now the TSU offense is like, crap we have to go back out.

[HoopsDawg]

Ohio State making Michigan State looke like TSU. 21-0 buckeyes.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well, TSU is looking to get some points here.

[RocketDawg]

Did they pull some starters? TSU has a first down.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I would like to see Heath run a Fly pattern and try to hit it over the top, right here. I want to see a lot of air under the ball.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I want to know we could do it, if we needed to.

[Catfish]

This is the game to do it.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We had them so out of position on that 60 yard throw/run, there was almost no way we were not scoring on that play.

[Turfdawg67]

RTGDF!!***

[HoopsDawg]

I hope Mel Tucker signed that new contract. 28-0 Ohio State.

[HoopsDawg]

my goodness, 35-0 Ohio State over Mich State.

[OLJWales]

After checking out Tennessee State schedule, they're not quite as bad as I thought they were. Our domination is impressing me

[parabrave]

And our Wes Welker gets number 3.

[Catfish]

Subs!!!!

[HoopsDawg]

Austin Williams is pretty much a perfect Leach receiver. Great blocker, very smart, great hands, route runner and little more athletic than some fans give him credit for. Hope he comes back for 1 more year.

[OLJWales]

Austin Williams gotta draft shot?

[Dawg_Lover]

In the 2nd half, do y?all think they will play a backup qb, in order to rest Will?

[Offshore Dawg]

In the 2nd half, do y?all think they will play a backup qb, in order to rest Will?
YES

[parabrave]

Austin Williams gotta draft shot?

Make a good 3rd down receiver for Dak. But in reality he will be catching TDs for Mac Jones.

[OLJWales]

In the 2nd half, do y?all think they will play a backup qb, in order to rest Will?

I' m interested what Leach gonna do. Run up the score or let some others play. I like the ladder.

[mparkerfd20]

In the 2nd half, do y?all think they will play a backup qb, in order to rest Will?

No. Leach won't.

[WhiskeyPirate]

Leach has been accused of running up the score but really what he is doing is trying to get his offense more reps, find a better rhythm. He doesn’t like to pay attention to the score. In the sec though I have seen him take a knee , I believe he did that against auburn. A gesture for the opposing coach IMO. He never did that in the big 12 or in the pac 12.

[Dawg_Lover]

I' m interested what Leach gonna do. Run up the score or let some others play. I like the ladder.

So do I. I would like to see the capability of some others in game.

[Maroonthirteen]

Greek was warming up before half.

McCord drilled a few in halftime warmups. Hahaha.

[parabrave]

Will needs 16 yds for 4000/

[Leeshouldveflanked]

This is setting up for Rogers to get hurt isn?t it?

[Hambone]

No he’ll play this drive and then sit.

[HancockCountyDog]

Will needs 16 yds for 4000/

I don?t want a single defensive starter to play in the second half, don?t want to risk a targeting call, which would require them to miss first half of Thursday?s game.

I need to find my post where I predicted at least a 7 win season, I feel really good about it now.

[OLJWales]

This is setting up for Rogers to get hurt isn?t it?

Don't think Leach gonna do a JWS QB sneak.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Who is ringing a single cowbell on our 4th down play? Like WTF fans. Dumb.

Better be a little kid, and their parents are teaching their kids incorrectly.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I don?t want a single defensive starter to play in the second half, don?t want to risk a targeting call, which would require them to miss first half of Thursday?s game.

I need to find my post where I predicted at least a 7 win season, I feel really good about it now.

Exactly.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I want Will to get to 300 yards and then sit immediately.

[Turfdawg67]

He's leaving in the starters b/c the game thread is too short due to the lack of bitching. He may let TSU score so 99jc will make an appearance.

[parabrave]

Ok time to sit.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good game Will. Now go grab a clip board. We need Greek to bring this home.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I don?t think you can learn anything from this game, but it is time to let everyone on the team get game snaps. I don?t believe we are close to burning anyone?s redshirts, I want to see what we have been hiding on the bench all season.

Don?t we have like 3-4 WRs that haven?t played this year yet? Might as well let them get some grabs. Don?t we have a blazing fast RB that hasn?t played yet? Let him get some touches.

[WhiskeyPirate]

Let’s see Harmon, Hargrove, Knox. All good enough to be playing.

[99jc]

He's leaving in the starters b/c the game thread is too short due to the lack of bitching. He may let TSU score so 99jc will make an appearance.

If they score a TD i might lose my mind!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Brule still on the field, get him off the field.

[Turfdawg67]

If they score a TD i might lose my mind!

LoL! Funny

[magrooder]

On a positive note, not many flags thrown this game by the officials.

[Lord McBuckethead]

You know what is sad, without SEC officiating we would be dangerously close to being a playoff team based on being 9-2 or maybe 10-1 this week.

[99jc]

i want rogers to get 400 yards and 6 tds then sit him

[magrooder]

Looked like Rogers was going back into the game.

[HoopsDawg]

Looked like Rogers was going back into the game.

I don't agree with that decision. Get a freshman some reps.

[BrunswickDawg]

i want rogers to get 400 yards and 6 tds then sit him

I'd let him go for KJ's record - wipe the stench of last season away completely.

[HoopsDawg]

get Marks out. Geez. We play in 5 days.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I wish Marks would look at hurdling some tacklers.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright, this is insanity. We have other players that need a look. 0-42 is enough. We have a game in 5 days. Let?s take advantage of the second half off. For crying out loud.

[parabrave]

Lovetich to come in.

[starkvegasdawg]

Rogers out.

[Activated Alpha]

Alright, this is insanity. We have other players that need a look. 0-42 is enough. We have a game in 5 days. Let?s take advantage of the second half off. For crying out loud.

I agree. Get the starters out of the ballgame

[Dawg_Lover]

Alright, this is insanity. We have other players that need a look. 0-42 is enough. We have a game in 5 days. Let?s take advantage of the second half off. For crying out loud.

Agreed. IMHO, the focus should now shift to what is best for the team going into next week.

[parabrave]

Will 28-34, 391 yards 5 tds 227 rtg.

[Dawg_Lover]

Rogers out.

Alrighty then. Hope others join him.

[parabrave]

Now its time to get the Def players out.

[OLJWales]

We covered the spread yet? If so, let 2nd string in.

[99jc]

bullshit 0nly 9 yards for 400 that sucks

[WhiskeyPirate]

I agree sit every starter and let’s get ready for next week

[Dawg_Lover]

We covered the spread yet? If so, let 2nd string in.

😂🤣 Nah, not yet.

[msstate7]

bullshit 0nly 9 yards for 400 that sucks

Short week, get him and everyone out

[99jc]

17 that put the starters back in

[BayouDawg]

Id like to see Hargrave and Knox in the game

[WhiskeyPirate]

I think Hargrove could be helping us now, but I guess we can wait till next year.

Simeon Price is a really good player too, we’ve got a bunch of young talent. Harmon is a 6-4 player with nfl size.

[parabrave]

So do we drive down and get our FG kicker some practice?

[OLJWales]

I disagree going for 3 there

[parabrave]

Is their player hurt bad?

[BayouDawg]

Saw Knox was open. Chance just overthrew him

[RougeDawg]

We covered the spread yet? If so, let 2nd string in.

Spread was 44 I believe. Vegas is pretty damn good.

[parabrave]

OK got that out of the Way.

[Bdawg]

McCord!!!!!! Get some confidence please!!! Ha!

[Matt3467]

OK got that out of the Way.

Thought it would hit the uprights again 😆

[WhiskeyPirate]

Rufus Harvey with the block that knocks their stud LB out of the game.

Nice to see a nasty streak in Harvey.

[magrooder]

Thought it would hit the uprights again ��

Very slight draw on that kick

[OLJWales]

Spread was 44 I believe. Vegas is pretty damn good.

Thank you my Sinful STATE Brethren.

[99jc]

backups are P u S S

[starkvegasdawg]

Our starters are very good. Our backups are...our starters are very good.

[Percho]

How does 37 miss that tackle?

[starkvegasdawg]

Has TSU gone more this 5 plays without a player hurt? Are we that much physically bigger and stronger?

[Matt3467]

Now that was a good kick

[magrooder]

I hope that gives McCord the confidence he needs to make a kick in the Egg Bowl if we need it

[VandelayIndustries]

Job well done, throttle TSU and no injuries that I can think of

[OLJWales]

Spread was 44 I believe. Vegas is pretty damn good.

LMAO at how Vegas know their shit.

[parabrave]

13 different receivers caught a pass.

[OLJWales]

13 different receivers caught a pass.

That is sick. Damn.

[starkvegasdawg]

493 yards passing and 600 total yards and we weren't even trying.

[VandelayIndustries]

Good to see CJ Morgan out there late.

[RocketDawg]

Haven't seen it mentioned - how'd our FG kicker do yesterday? I saw where we had one late in the game and the only reason I could think that we'd try one with the outcome not in doubt was to be breaking in a new kicker.

[msstate7]

Not so sure Davis will disappear from rotation as soon as smith is back
