I don't understand the argument we lost to a team that isn't better than us. Take your Maroon colored glasses off. Ole Miss is a top 8 team. We are not, they are better than us this year. The reason why you believe that they are not better than us is because the Air Raid works, teams have to scheme us different on offense because of our 33 defense. Most teams in our league are running 4-3, or 3-4.

^^^ prediction thread
Hell, you got mad when someone said Williams could give us problems.
We were the Vegas favorite.
I didn't predict either way other than there was gonna be a ton of points. Our defense performed better than I thought, and our offense did much worse
ETA... the point remains though, no one can predict next year's egg bowl with any accuracy right now. We have no idea what either team will look like
Matt Corral is a first round QB pick. Dude, can straight ball. Their defense doesn't have to do a lot b/c the offense can score pretty easily. Lebby is a damn good play caller. Had we lost to an unranked OM team w/ a white Chris Relf as QB then yeah, I'd be really pissed. Sometimes you just gotta let shit go.
Dropping passes did more damage than Williams. C'mon , man. Leach called the plays to score and we screwed the pooch. It sucks, but life goes on. And yes, I'm still saying we beat them next year. Save this if you want so you can continue to be the pessimistic asshole we all know and love.
A few days to calm down.... my thoughts are State lost to a more talented team. However State had every opportunity to upset a more talented team but could not capitalize on those opportunities. For many different reasons that have already been covered.
The reason I think they're not better than us because they're not. If we just execute at a basic level we win. None of our mistakes had anything to do with the shart talent level. None of the points we left on the field had anything to do with them. It was all us not being able to execute.
Facts!
They didn't beat us Thursday we beat ourselves, they didn't knock the balls down, we didn't catch the balls, or make a very easy pass, they didn't miss or block our field goals, we missed those ourselves, Leach put them boys in position and they didn't execute. They know it and will learn from it, but, I am still blistered from it.
Edit: defensively I think we would have destroyed them all game long if the refs didn't suck. Please understand when your Dline is destroying them in the manner that we were to where the only thing that they could do was hold us, we were whipping their tale. But, since the refs didn't call hardly ANY of those flagrant holds that takes the wind out of you and our boys just couldn't hang.
