I thought UM looked OK. I was surprised Wallace ran as much as he did. By the time November rolls around he will likely be banged up pretty good if that continues. Treadwell was by far the most impressive of their "star" freshmen. Tunsil played well too. RK has a pretty good motor, but looked very raw to me. He will be a good player for them by seasons end, but the fact that he is starting right now (and playing all over the line) makes me think that their depth on the DL is poor. Their run defense looked average at best... a power run game will soften them up big time. I didn't see anything from UM last night that makes me think they'll beat us this year. If you stay disciplined and stick to your defensive assignment versus the read option you can have success against it, but you really need to get good play out of the D-line to shut it down. They looked like they had problems when Vandy rushed 5 or more. Looking at their schedule I see them rolling into Starkville with 5 wins - Vandy, SEMO, Idaho, Troy, and one of Arkansas and Mizzou. I don't think they can win @ Auburn, and wins over aTm, LSU, Bama, or Texas sure don't seem likely.

Gadzooks I am excited about tomorrow. I look forward to seeing the changes in our coaching philosophy and how that affects our play on the field. We have very good talent and depth. I really want to see our guys play fast and physical. Here's to hoping we set the tone for the season with a physical W tomorrow.

Hail State!
