Thoughts on The Hawaiin Bowl

[msstate7]

Other than the humor of seeing Ole Miss being abused I am a lot more interested in the LSU-Auburn game. I think Auburn rolls in that game but I would like to see their offense struggle because if they struggle against LSU they will struggle against us. I also want to see LSU's offense totally exposed for who they are.

I think both teams struggle offensively... I really think LSU defense is top notch. In the end though, auburn wins bc they have a great defense too and some offense

Bama with or without 3 LBs?

Not sure how to answer that. The Bama defense we played against. I'm asking because that Bama D couldn't even slow down our run game last year. We are better this year. I don't think Auburn will stop our run game.

To be honest it would be good for the entire West if Ole Miss won tomorrow.

That bama defense was relying on holcombe at lb bc they were so beat up there. Auburn's defense now is better than that bama defense. Now the playoff bama defense that got some LBs back was better than this auburn defense.

I'm not slighting us, but it's true. I think we will push LSU, auburn, and bama defenses this season if we stay healthy.

I hate it too but Bama with one lose is good for everyone else.

Lol I agree they need to lose before we play them. Just not to that bunch.

The first 5 minutes of this game will determine the outcome. UM is going to come out high as a WWF wrestler who snorted coke before a match. If 5-0 hits a long bomb which leads to a score on their first possession, the game might stay close for a half. I wouldn't be surprised if UM jumps out to a 14-0 lead early on. They'll run out of gas and still lose by at least 2-3 scores, but they could make it exciting for a half. Now if UM turns the ball over early and Bama jumps out to a quick lead, they'll fold like a cheap tent, and we might see a score similar to last year.

Doubtful on that 14 point lead. Bama's defense is no Texas Tech or Southern Illinois defense, and 5-0 should not be comfortable back there facing this Bama defense.

[yjnkdawg]

I am 100% scared of that offense.

I'm glad Coach JoeMo, our other coaches, and our players aren't worried, or scared of OM's offense.

If Taamu goes out (ankle injury would be ironic), do they have any qb's even decent to back him up? If I'm an opposing team with a good defense, I'm gonna blitz from everywhere on the field. He might burn me a time or two but I would find out how he throws when he's scared and beat to crap.

Doubt they go to corral if 5-0 goes down. From what I've heard, corral has a rocket for an arm, but his accuracy is flat out bad

I do not understand some of our fans ignoring the fact that the same type of OM offense burned us last year at home.

This is correct. I like Holcombe but he just just looked overmatched in that game, thus y'all were able to run some.

You worry about the egg bowl. I'm more concerned with our trip to LSU at the moment

Grantham's defense was not the big deal we thought it was. And add Mullen checking out mentally and our starting QB writhing on the field with a foot pointing in the wrong direction. Oh, and we turned the ball over...5 times?

[LC Dawg]

Their tackling techniques are all that should worry us but I doubt Coach Moorhead yuks it up with Luke on the field like our last coach if that shit happens again this year.

FWIW, one of the guys over on SPS says his rebel booster club father in law told him some boosters got a bounty on Tu'a tomorrow. I don't doubt it for a second.

Surely there's no way they're that stupid. Taking out three QB ankles in four games, the last of which being college football's golden child, would surely result in some pretty major consequences.

[Covercorner2]

I think they're better than you give them credit for. Through 2 games, their D is better at stopping the run than we are, and they've played a much better team than we have. If they can stop us from running, that game is gonna be really tough

Their defense is good. Ours is better. They are a 9-3 team.

[SheltonChoked]

Bama could come out half asleep and still score on every drive against that defense. I'll be surprised if they punt .

FTFY

SLU punted only 3 times....
