Dont be surprised

All of yall that are already chalking up the loss better read this....this team knows they should be undefeated and this team is pissed off about it.

This team knows they are better than everyone they have played and have had this one circled for a long time. This is their chance to prove to everyone the team that we really have. We know we let this bunch off the hook last year.

Do not be surprised when we are able to run the ball on them and when we stop them because both are going to happen. This team is ready for the Crimson Tide

I think that's what's been holding y'all back and will play a bigger than expected part in this game, Bucky...

The two toughest tests yall will face are saturday and vs UGA. Those are the best 2 OL and DL combos you will see the rest of the way.

This State team is more ready for you than LSU was and LSU had the home crowd. Im just telling you, do not be surprised. State has its dander up

Auburn doesnt have much of a chance against yall because it doesnt have the OL. LSU didnt either. Auburn has a good DL and a pretty solid defense but its not as good as ours.

In my opinion State is 2 TDs better than LSU Moorhead just coached that game scared to death and it showed. He hopefully isnt scared anymore and has stopped worrying about what could go wrong.

Fitzgerald got pissed off because everyone called for his head after his career worst game and he is throwing the ball as good as he ever has. We know what he can do on the ground. A&M has a damn good front 7 and they refused to let us run the ball and we won the game. That made a huge difference for Moorhead and Fitzgerald

A mobile running threat QB is bamas biggest threat. Not saying it?ll be a W, but our offense will be Bama?s biggest challenge to date.

Our defense is better than anything Bama has seen.

Bucky I love what you're saying. I would love for you to be right. It's gonna be a tough row to hoe in ttown.

I don't doubt any of that for a minute... We'll get yall's best shot, I'm certain...

LSU couldnt run the ball on yall if they put a bulldozer at RB as bad as they got beat up front. That wont happen saturday.

I wasnt sold on Tua but he is pretty good. Idk if he is the chosen one like he has been proclaimed but he will see the toughest test he has seen to date on saturday. Maybe the NC game was tougher you could argue. Yalls best player on offense is Jeudy. He is damn near unguardable. The key will be how quickly can Tua get it to him and how fast can State get guys to him to get him on the ground.

Offensively State needs to end every drive with a kick and dont get beat in field position. Our defense can keep us in it at least a half. The offense will have to make about 3-5 plays to give us a chance to win it late. Unless Bama shits the bed and is hungover from LSU. I dont see that happening.

I believe this game is going to be a physical war.

Can we make the 3-5 plays we need to win the game is what its going to come down to...if Bama beats the shit out of us like they have everyone else then you can crown them.

I'll echo some of that... Bammer will prolly take their normal shots down field to try to catch yall napping (in addition to JJ, don't sleep on Ruggs, Smith, Waddle, or Smith)... If TUA & Bammer start slow (like vs LSU) and yall can avoid allowing explosive plays, turnovers and the aforementioned poor field position, that'll go a long way to make the game "ugly"...

and that's where yall want it...

On Bammer's end, I just think they need to be patient and wait/hope for it to break open...

As always it depends on how Fitzgerald plays. If he throws four INT's, we're toast. If he plays like he did last year against Alabama we may be respectable.

That's the thing in a typical close MSU/Alabama football game. We make one mistake and it seems like it kills us even if we play well for the most part. One bad punt could kill us.

Well, I'll damn sure be surprised if we win this one.

Joe will try win it, not just look respectable. That could be good, or bad.

That’s for sure, blood on the field. Have to pop those receivers and not let them run wide open.

This will also be the best offense that State has seen so far so it goes both ways. I think State has a legit chance at scoring 14-24 points on Alabama if Fitz and the WRs/TEs can make the 3-5 plays I mentioned earlier. The RBs and OL will do their jobs. Can our defense or special teams keep them below that or score themselves? We probably will need one score from ST or D to win the game or at least setting up an easy one for our O

You should probably retract this and get the f^ck over yourself.

No I?m not and you cannot be considerd even remotely credible after this. Bama is 4ish best defense. Just because you shut down a one dimensional predicable LSU snit offense, you can?t beat your chest. Put down the meth and watch a few games.

I can sit here daily and tout the investment properties of gold and have very few detractors. If you must break down which defenses is better, I?ll show you. I?d rather not you waste both our times

Please... Waste my time.

Teams have gotten behind our safeties all year but have overthrown the TD pass. Tua takes 4-5 shots a game and connects on half of them. I have no doubt we'll stop the run. However, somebody needs to tell McClaurin to stop biting on play action. If we can force Alabama to drive the field we're in the game. Tua gets too impatient and wants to take shots.

Here you guys go talking yourself into something.

Yep. We scored 7 on the road at Kentucky and 3 on the road at LSU. Bama is better defensively than both, and bama is infinitely better on offense. This game is over before it starts. Just beat ark and om

Problem is Saint Nick will also mention that these same MSU players pushed them around on both sides of the ball last year....they will be ready and won't have to depend on a referee who knew the illegal touching rule but CHOSE not to accurately apply it to the play on the field.....

Yep....we don’t have a Snowballs chance... we need to give our RB’s 40 Carries and not get Fitz hurt... that being said, I bet we see the same Offensive game plan/performance that we had at LSU...

You guys are kidding yourselves if you think we are "the toughest test Bammer has seen all year". That's just stupid. Bama will clobber us Saturday.

Well.....everyone has their game with Bama circled. They have had it circled for 12 years. Doesn't matter. Just like we should be undefeated because we are better than everyone we have played, Bama is better than us. They get the clear benefit of the doubt with the refs, and are playing at their house. Bama rolls 31-14.

Disagree. You'll see the opposite plan.

Moorhead regrets that game plan and will sling it vs Bama

Is there a correlation between us being their toughest test and them clobbering is?

Could both happen at the same time considering they clobber everyone?

We should be their toughest test so far ... but that doesn't mean we won't implode or they won't whup us. Just means we're better than anyone else they have faced. Not that we've played like we can play all year long.

LOL .. that certainly is the politically correct way to phrase that.

When you don't have to worry about getting 15 yd automatic 1st down penalties .. you can fly around with reckless abandon and make all kind of "great" plays, with hard hits, pass breakups, ...

ETA: Prediction ... Abrams gets ejected for targeting in this game. Leo won't have to worry about that since I believe he may have been a little tentative since he got that PF 15 yd auto 1st down penalty for his legal hit against the KSU QB. He seems a little tentative to me when sacking QBs since then.

Hate to think and say but Bama will beat us like a mad dog being run over.

They will screen or slip pass us to death. Way too much outside speed.

We believe!!!***

Anyone saying ?don?t be surprised by a MSU win has maroon colored contacts and glasses on. Our team doesn?t play well on the road. Our OLine gets jumpy in hostile environments. Bama will get away with a lot of holds that will negate any quick pressure we can get on Tua. I would love to win but this game is a formality we need to get through with as few injuries and possible so we can get W?s against Ark and UM to go 8-4.

The Bama loss will knock us down in the low 20?s but follows by 2 wins we should be able to sneak back in the top 20 and with a win in our bowl finish ranked in the teens at 9-4. That needs to happen to keep this program moving forward and upward.

If we can keep this a close game until half time I'll be surprised.

I hope Joe lets it rip Saturday! No since in trying to grind out a win against Bama, it aint happening that way! Bucky & Landshark u beat them by taking shots and holding nothing back. I say take shots even if some get picked at least no one will be able to say that State went into the game trying to find a moral victory!

The reason they over throw is because they are being pressured.

If we have any type of offensive production and not turn the ball over the game will not be a blow out. I don't think we can win the game. They are just too good.

Bama - 42
State - 3

We have very little chance... about as good as La Tech did of beating us this past Saturday. It's possible, but it's going to take a miracle. Our D will have to play its best game ever against the best offense it's faced.
