caleb1633 1,418 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I'm really interested to see how this one plays out. Bama has looked somewhat human at times this year, and Miss State is the best team they've played thus far. QBs like Fitzgerald tend to be the ones that give their defense trouble. The fact that it's in Starksville too tips the scale much more heavily in Miss State's favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djg0017 726 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Cowbells, cowbells, cowbells. If Auburn beats UGA then I hope Bama wins just to stay #1. But if not.. Hail State. Agree with your analysis of the matchup; Fitz gonna have to beat them over the top to win though. I’m interested to see how many of Bama’s players are out with injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehighfan 1,240 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 How many times has State gone up against bama with many feeling they had a chance to win only to see bama ram it up State's a$$ sideways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different team, different year. Plus I think most of those games were played at Bryant Danny. I also think that this Bama team has looked much more human than ones we've seen in the past when they face competent opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowebb11 9,321 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 They likely won't beat them, but it will be another very physical game. LSU put a hurt on their LB corps and banged up some other guys. We seem to be getting some guys healthy while the Tide is going the other way. If we get out of the UGA game healthy and MSU can pound the Tide some, its advantage us in the Iron Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UAT has played MSU in Starkville 5 times under Saban, they've whipped the pups by an average 35-9 in those games. Why shouldn't we expect much of the same on Saturday?

keesler 5,924 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 UAT screwed me Saturday night vs LSU. Turds chose to freaking kneel on the ball inside the 10 yrd line to end the damn game and didn't cover the spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see State stick it up bama's a$$ sideways, I just don't see it happening, even if bama doesn't appear to be super human this year.

I mean, that very well could happen. I'm torn on what I want to happen this game. Bama would never lose two straight SEC games. So if MSU beats them, they'll come out with a vengeance against us. But if MSU exposes them a little, even if they don't win, it could shake Bama's confidence that they are unbeatable. Ugh why couldn't they have just kept Shula?

I expect MSU to expose them a little with their offense, but think in the end bama will just out last them and start to steam roll them by the end of the game.

I think LSU exposed them to some degree. If you can play M2M with your DBs and keep the rush lines covered, then JH has a hard time figuring what to do. He has a canon for an arm, but maybe not the most accurate. LSU got several sacks and then missed on a couple more. If we can pressure him like LSU did, then we should be able to keep them grounded in the passing game. Now on the other side the only weakness at this point might be that they have lost 4 of their 2 deep starting 7 LBs for the season. Maybe we can take advantage of that as well. If Fitzpatrick continues to have hamstring issues, then I really like our chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbone1430 1,346 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Who should we be rooting for? Wanting the turds to win just feels gross and dirty and it’s always a good day when they lose. But I know it would look good if we beat two number one teams in one season. A conundrum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
