We made Texas A&M look better than they are and they OWNED us in controlling the ball for most of the game. We only had 4 drives longer than a minute and two of those ended in field goals. Defense has quit on us, or Steele has lost his touch, or we were ill prepared for the amount of guys we lost to the NFL last year on that side of the ball. We don't have enough good corners to shut down the Air Raid and if we get in a mismatch Tutt and Smoke get burned on deep routes (I know Tutt is injured). We're on the road, they put up 24 against UGA, and their defense has allowed similar points to ours. If you're looking at record and talent we should win... but I think we don't Mississippi State 31 - Auburn 24 We finish the season without ever having found our offensive identity. Yes. I know CKS likes to play bump and run but I hope he really changes things up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cctiger 571 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I'm afraid it's going to be a long day in Starkville for our boys from the plains. Moo's 28-Plainsmen 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather keep everything in front of us and pray that our line steps up and forces the the QB into bad situations. I just rather us not give up quick scores. Plus LSU gives up 300 yards passing a game. They are dead last in the sec lol. But I will defer to your expertise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defending the air raid requires zone. That has the potential to be a big problem. Here's an article describing the differences between man and zone DBs and the different responsibilities of the two coverage schemes. https://pigskinnut.com/zone-vs-man-corners/ Smoke, Tutt, and the LBs have been very suspect in coverage this year.

crimsonaudio 5 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 There's enough film of teams shutting down Leach's MSU offense this season that Steele will almost certainly dial it in and shut them down, for the most part. I think AU wins this one by 10+ points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hspoprn 199 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Miss. State by 10 points. As for Gus being on the hot seat, I don't think he cares anymore. He's gonna get paid no matter what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure as heck don't wanna see a repeat of LSU's opener against Moo State when it seemed as if the secondary was playing "follow the leader" with MSU's receivers. That was...something.

AURex 2,006 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Ugh! Moo State by 6. I hope I am wrong .... but I've been right on all the others (not on points, but on outcome). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFriction 1,179 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Honestly, I think we win this one convincingly. The teams that have beat us have been able to possess the ball and run it down our throat, which may be the reason our offense has looked so inconsistent (not getting in rhythm because they are sidelined so much). I know they have a good running back, but that's just not how Leach operates. He will want to go tempo, and he'll sling it a lot. I think they keep it scary close in the first half, but we blow them out in the second. No score prediction, but I will predict a 2.5-3 TD victory.

Howard Roark 195 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 MSU's defense is actually pretty good but MSU does not run the ball. As a result I expect a low scoring game, baring a rash of turnovers. Bo is bad on the road, so I say 20-13 MSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
