Dont be surprised

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

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

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.....

[Leeshouldveflanked]

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...

[Behrdawg]

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.

[Lord McBuckethead]

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.

[basedog]

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.

[Dawgology]

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.

[TrapGame]

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

[GoDawgz]

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!

[Jack Lambert]

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.

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

[Jack Lambert]

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

[sleepy dawg]

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.

[PMDawg]

Bama - 42
State - 3

Just to add:

Saban vs. Moorhead......LOL

[dawgday166]

LOL .. when Fitz overthrows while under a lot of pressure ... he's throwing an "uncatchable" ball and sucks as a QB **
