Auburn is a must-win

[bluelightstar]

No excuses. We absolutely cannot lose that football game.

[msstate7]

If we lose, wake me up when Malik and sword hit the hardwood

[Bothrops]

Our defense will keep Auburn in it and they will win on the last drive. Book it.

[klong-dog]

What I'm afraid of. Seen it too many times before.

[TrapGame]

As bad as AU has looked these last two games there's no excuse for getting curb stomped by them.

[Jacksondevildog]

They will look all world versus us Saturday on the Plains. Anyone expecting differently is setting themselves up for great disappointment. I will be in attendance to see them run off the edge for 300 yards and us whiff on tackles at LB.

[msstate7]

We have to start fast. If we jump on them 7-0 early, I think they may fold. If we fall behind early, they get confidence and probably have a tough game on our hands

[Vetdawg32]

I'll be there also with my father-in-law who is a huge Auburn fan. Gonna be a long game for me if we don't play well (esp since I'll be sitting with the home team fans).

[Statefan]

Our atrocious tackling will keep them in the game

Johnson will keep us in it

It will be an epic battle of who keeps the other team in the game the most

[Taco]

With our program expectations they are all must wins.

Not going to settle for less than we are capable of this year. Every game here on out is must-win

[I seen it dawg]

3-2

[GTHOM]

If we let Dak keep on the read option we should run for at least 200 yards. They dont have a single DB that can cover Bear Wilson or any of our WRs probably. Jeremy Johnson will have to play very well to beat us, I dont think they can beat us by running it. Theyre just not as strong as they were even last year. I expect them to play harder than theyve played all year thus far though.

[Political Hack]

Their season is on the line even more so than ours. We stop their run game and we roll though. That simple.

I'm not sure I agree with that first point. If we lose to Auburn as bad as they've played, we're staring down a 6-win season.

I'm not sure that they can't beat us by running the ball. We haven't been tackling very well and the opposition's OL seems to pushing our DL around. Also, I don't have a lot of confidence in our DB 's, excluding Redmond and Calhoun.

[Really Clark?]

I think he meant we roll through the game, not season.

[scottycameron]

where y'all been? Auburn has quit. Malzhan lost the team. They may go winless in the SEC.

[BeardoMSU]

They may go winless in the SEC.

Ouch....I don't know if they're quite there yet, but holy hell talk about a turn-around for a coach/program if that happened. They won't go winless, but if they were to go 6-6 or 5-7, their fans would be frothin' mad.

[scottycameron]

handling of the duke williams affair split the team, the large majority against duke and malzhan. They've quit. That is how you got to OT against JSU at home. We've seen it happen, JWS last year and Nutt at OM. Their season is already over they're just showing up to games now.

They've done it before. Lets spot the pattern.

2010 - Play for natty
2011 - 8-5 (4-4)
2012 - 3-9 (0-8)

Repeat cycle

2013 - Play for natty
2014 - 8-5 (4-4)
2015 - ?
