93rd Battle for the Golden Egg - Game Thread

[R2Dawg]

No they don't.

There have been many guys make a career in NFL being that type player. A check down guy that just catches the ball and makes positive plays is worth a lot.

[Matt3467]

So really the difference in this game was the fumble by Williams. If he scores, it's us that's up 21-14

That was a freak play from Williams. I don't think that happens often with him.

[Commercecomet24]

Leach has his culture implemented. We're "fixed" so to speak.

Now, we just have to keep getting better and more experienced

Yeah if someone can't see the difference in how this team plays as compared to the last 2 years you're blind.

Those NFL players are way more athletic than Williams

[msstate7]

Way to hang in there, dawgs. Gotta get a stop first drive

[PendingTransaction]

Feeling better about the offense. WR running better routes and Will is starting to see the field. I can see growth. Still not there yet but good signs

[R2Dawg]

Remove the fumble and it's 21-14 State.

Defense has given up 328 yards.

Safeties suck ass

And you people want to blame Leach. My goodness

Well he is the HC? HC not responsible for the whole team?

[ShotgunDawg]

100%. He's "fixed MSU football".

Now we just gotta keep building.

[BuckyIsAB****]

We got 35 out of the game after we gave up 2 touchdowns. Unreal.

[R2Dawg]

There are reasons and there are excuses. Our safeties are playing shorthanded - that is a reason.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

I'm really glad Freshwater and all his "ANALytics" hates kicking FGs. Really hope we can make him pay for it.

that's the thing- if you're playing a bad team you'd probably convert 4th down a lot. if you're playing a good D you won't. On average it might seem like it's a good decision to go for it, but my suspicion is that it's only a "smart decision" vs teams where you'd win no matter what you did.

Vs the teams with defenses that can often stop you on 4th, you should take the 3 when you get it. Vs teams that can't stop you on 4th... we'll you're going to be scoring a ton on them anyway so it doesn't matter

Absofreakinglutely!

Agree Will seeing field better. We got guys open just got to find them.

[KOdawg1]

Watch out for Moore in this second half. He was awfully quiet

[defiantdog]

Well he isn't fast. Great plays by him so far though.

He was fast enough to go untouched in the end zone there

[Hambone]

Please let Rogers be ok. Wasn’t anything malicious but did catch a helmet to his throwing elbow.

[msu15]

We got a shot boys.

[ShotgunDawg]

We got a shot boys.

Unless Fred Peters comes back at half time, it's going to be tough

Oh, for sure. Msstate7 said it best, they just don't respect us.

The first drives from each team to open the second half will tell us how this is going to go. We have to get a stop.
