We're up 24-3 in a game we didn't care about, so why do we care?

Mullen's about to go rip the o-line a new one.
He's been saying that 3 weeks. The team isn't responding.Quote:

It's meaningless. We play Bama in 7 days in Tuscaloosa. We
Can win this game by 1 and that game by 1 and be unanimous #1.

Don’t know if Mississippi St is going to win it all, but they are the only team that has shown up every week with very little drama.
Mullen is just making it tougher on himself. If we come out looking like shit next week, everyone will be talking about how he dropped the ball and let us lose our momentum over the last few weeks against shit teams. But hey, if he's cool with that, and we can still go out and beat Bama...just win
Haha, he basically just looked at our fan base and said..."Shhhhh"Quote:

If you watch our O-line this game and you aren't at least a little concerned facing that Bama D-line next week then I don't know what to tell you.Quote:

I know I've been very critical of our last few performances, but I just want us to keep that edge. This team is good enough to destroy kentucky and ut Martin and that's what I expectQuote:

Well then we reward the guy who saved our butts last week with a suspension this week...can we put it all together against Alabama? After our play the last month I just don't know. Dak needs to lead this team and get them in shape for next week. We will find out as a team what we are next week.Quote:

Against Bama, we need to play about 15 guys on defense, maybe 16, but that is it. If we only play our top 16 we should be ok defensively.Quote:

Come on dawgs... Finish this drive and get dak out of there on a good note
Forgot they get ball first
Please retire, Musberger.
Our DL should be ashamed
I'd just like to say, we have a very good "bend but don't break defense". That being said, there is absolutely NOTHING "psychotic" about our defense.
I'm embarrassed that we've given up more rushing yards to them than lsuQuote:

Very much agree.Quote:

I wish Shumpert could get more carries here instead of Holloway. Wasting reps by giving them to Holloway IMO.
Dak needs to check down to Holloway there, he was wide open in the flat
Desper played better against A&M than today
