We are a decent team but 7-8 wins is our ceiling this year. The truth hurts; I know

We'll see how it plays out- and it probably won't work out. At any rate I wouldn't be surprised if we finish strong like we did in 2013. And that may mean the Gator Bowl.

we lost because our coach plays not to lose. it worked last year in a couple games where the opponent turned out to overrated, and we ended up ranked #1. put other than that it costs us over and over. we have a decent coach, but not a good one.. it's just a matter of how long it takes for the fanbase to realize that.

Helps that auburn and a&m last year gave us turnovers to help get out to a big lead. We haven't created turnovers or been as fortuitous in the dept in our big games this year.

Look at Auburn, they suck big time on both sides of the ball so what does Gus do? He figures out a way to run the ball to keep his D off the field and to give his team the best chance to win. He is also playing his best players. We should be doing the same. When Dan got here he had a bucket of crape and he figured out a way to make it work while playing the toughest schedule in the land. Sometimes you have to look in the mirror admit your wrong and go back to the basics. Shumpert block and find your TB. It's time to run!

Well its not hard to see that A Williams needs a couple 20 carry games and some time with the first team offense. This guy looked better on two plays than what I have been seeing. We need a playmaker/blocker back there.

I really hate bad mouthing one of our guys, but Shump needs to find a different role on our team. Can the guy play safety?

If you don't have sec offensive tackles you're going to get exposed, especially against teams with good defensive ends. Best qb we've ever had and no tackles to protect him against decent defenses.

No way to play call well when you're line can't block, are just very limited offensively this year bc of it.

Rankin not being ready has been a huge blow

Garrett destroyed our offensive line last night. At the same time, our defensive line barely got any pressure on passing downs. If we are to win big games like that, we need the complete package. We need solid offensive linemen, pass rushers, an RB that can fight for 5 yards and hold onto the ball, and safeties that don't miss tackles. Fred Ross played a hell of a game. And Chris Jones also played a damn good game..... His role at DT calling for double teams opened up the edges. The defense played well but we need faster players at certain positions.

Well said and you knocked it out of the park! Out tackles are below SEC standards, and yes it's Mullen and staff's fault for not recruiting better tackles. I don't care what coach is on our sideline calling plays, it ain't gonna work until we solve out tackle play on offense. Another glaring issue we have is lack of speed especially on offense, we are way to slow in trying to keep pace with teams like A&M who has blazing speed. To me that was so obvious on both sides of the ball. The Aggies are very young and will get better.

We lost a lot more talent from last year's team than what we have starting today. Last year's team we beat this year's team at least 2 TD's. It is truly a rebuilding year. If we win 7 or 8 games that will be good for a Msu rebuilding team. Also thank goodness for Dak this year, it would or could have been much worse.

Bottom line, the Aggies were more talented and the better team, there is nothing Mullen could have done to change the outcome of the game, our players were in position to make players and didn't. 2 fumbles, missed TD pass, poor punting which we never had field position all night.

Agree. We are no where near being a BCS team or any Jan 1st bowl. People need to go ahead and adjust to a lower tier bowl mindset.
