"Well, this is the first time we've had back to back 40 point losses to Bama since 1971-1972. Of course we all knew we were going to lose to Alabama. But the way we lost is concerning, to say the least." -patdog on sps

Yep. Let's see. So far with Costello for two quarters and Rogers for 6 quarters, this offense has produced zero TDs vs Alabama. This offense was supposed to neutralize the playing field for us. So far, nope.
Kentucky, Auburn, Arkansas and OM will be good test. If this offense is truly gives us some competitive advantage, we should see it in those games. Which are closer in terms of talent (recruiting)
I know that many want to justify how we currently feel by saying yesterday was worse, but looking back at a 1000 ft view, I?m not sure I feel that way.
Agreed. If we don't make it to a bowl (which would require us to just go 1-3 against those 4 teams you listed), I will have no choice but to admit Leach isn't working out as well as I desperately want him to.
I think we're more likely to finish 7-5 than 5-7 though. Kentucky and Ole Miss are going down. (And still finishing ranked, which will give Leach more wins over ranked teams this year than Mullen had in his whole career here.)

Neither one of them has resumes or talent levels sufficient enough to make me think they'll come into Starkville and beat us?
I mean, they might. I don't think we're a 100% lock to beat either, not even close. I just predict we lose on the road to Arkansas and Auburn and win at home against Ole Miss and Kentucky. Maybe we'll steal one of those road ones.
I like our chances vs Kentucky the best. OM's biggest strength (big plays) on offense is our biggest weakness. Not sure we'll be able to keep pace.
Our starting qb had a shoulder injury last night too. I know he played thru it, but we still don't know what's going on there.
👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼 AC joint separation makes already weak arms weaker and will nag him until he can rest it.
OM and UK are one loss teams. OM has a better QB, RBs, WR, OL, and better offensive scheme/coaching. UK is the 2020?s version of MSU and looks to be doing it as good or better than we ever did. Barring benefiting from an injury- and we might need luck on Rogers shoulder- I don?t see us beating either. I can see UK wanting to beat us more badly than OM.
