Buy/Sell: We destroy Kentucky next week.

[TXDawg.sixpack]

I'm buying.<div>
</div><div>After the performance tonight, I'm thinking that Mullen, Hevesy, and Balis are going to KILL someone in practice this week. Mullen is the type of guy who will take this week's performance and use it to motivate the ENTIRE team to perform at a MUCH higher level this week.</div><div>
</div><div>I know it's a sheepish prediction, but there it is.</div><div>
</div><div>What say you?</div>

I think we'll come out next week as focused as we were unfocused tonight. I think we win 37-24. Which maybe isn't destroying them, but it is a solid win.</p>

We dont blow out anyone, just not in the makeup of this team.

It'll be interesting to see how Diaz schemes for Cobb. I'm trying to remember, but I dont think we've gone up against a single player of the caliber of Cobb this year. Maybe Newton, but I think he's playing much better now than he was in the 2nd game of the season.

If Ballard is out, we lose. We missed him badly tonight. Need Bumphis as well, but if he is out, it shouldn't cause us to lose. Also, our secondary is going to be tested again.

If we have all our starters back, then I think we win, but I'm not convinced we destroy them.

and after tonights performance, we will be anything BUT soft on D next weekend. Plus, we'll have some guys on offense back that didn't play tonight.

Anyone know how UK made out tonight, injury-wise?

<div>If we drive up and down the field (and we will. The RB by committee will have a field day against UK's joke of a run defense) but bog down in the red zone like we seem to do, then I'm not sure field goals will get the job done against the fightin' Cobb's.</div><div>And if we tackle Cobb as poorly as we tackled Jones and...the Starkville kid, it could be a long night. </div>

but I am still confident that we will pull it out. As you said, this game gives our coaching staffthe perfectopportunity for refocusing the players. We sleepwalked through the whole game with the exception of our opening drive of the second half.Banks allowed them to score a td with his idiotic personal foul when he pushed their receiver after the 3rd down stop. That gave them an automatic 1st down and 15 yards. They scored a td shortly afterwards. THAT kind of crap has to be corrected. Brandon Henderson jumping offsides twice(esp. on the 4th and inches) can't continue to happen. The amount of penalties that we had showed our lack of focus. Plus, you have to wonder if Relf is feeling the effects of getting hit so many times per game. It's had to take a toll on his body by now. I don't consider KY to be a "physical" team. That being said, we are going to have to clean up our mistakes and bring some intensity and emotionto get the win.

I think we're focused but they stop the run in the 2nd half. MSU wins 20-14

<div style="text-align: left;">If there is one SEC team that I think we can destroy it would be Kentucky... We always seem to have good luck against them...</div>

color me a pessimist, and knew this was going to happen.

I do believe they have talent and can play tighter coverages but they do to seem to have lots of holes in their zone coverages. Opposing players run out and sit down in the soft spots. Will they play more man to man with deep support? Will they be able to get to the QB so they don't have to cover forever? I don't know but it sure is fun to be 7-2 and not the other way around!
