MsU -10 vs UK..

[57stratdawg]

Bigger than I was expecting.

 

[Xenomorph]

That's a big number. Their resume is better than ours to this point.

Free money alert

UAB -5 over UNC Charlotte. Tip me after you win.

 

[HD6]

They have a win better than LSU?

They lost to Florida, right?

 

[eckie1]

They haven’t played a legitimate football team all season...

Their resume is better than ours to this point.

What am I missing here?

Please tell me their best win. South Carolina? Come on. We’ll cover.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

'Xactly my friend. What are their defensive stats? I know they almost lost to Missouri and Southern Miss and have not had any big defensive or offensive game yet... even against below average teams.

 

[Xenomorph]

They have two SEC wins and a 1 pt loss to Florida. We have a win over a suspect LSU team and two blowout losses in the SEC. Our non-conference schedules are equally trashy. Their resume is better to this point.

 

[8dog]

Louisiana tech was a fluke pass from beating s carolina. Ky is bad.

 

[HD6]

I would be willing to bet if we could switch Mizzou and South Carolina with Auburn and Georgia, we'd be 3-0 in the conference and they'd be 0-3.

Good to know all SEC teams are equal.

Because Auburn and Georgia on the road are certainly no better than South Carolina and Missouri.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

I think I am just surprised by that number. After all, they have the 3rd best record of SEC teams, they are receiving 64 votes for Top 25 and we are receiving 6. I agree, Something doesn't add up. Is Vegas looking for the money to move towards UK a bunch here?

You're 17'ing insane if you believe that.

[QuaoarsKing]

False.

They don't have a win anywhere near as good as LSU, and they play down to the level of their opponents, barely beating teams like Mizzou and Eastern Michigan. And their loss is to a much worse team than our losses.

They barely beat Mizzou, lost to a bad Florida, and had to escape USM and EMU. If we were 5-1 against their schedule and looked the way they had, people would want Dan Mullen tarred and feathered.

Maybe they come out and put something together against us, but it definitely isn't from looking at their resume.

The thing that doesn’t add up is the fact they are getting 64 votes. I bet on them in a parlay against Mizzou and watched that game from start to finish. Mizzou looked like the better team and should have won. Kentucky got lucky. State will win.

 

[KurtRambis4]

After seeing LSU

being included in the T25, I think one can surmise the polls are a joke right now.

 

[Moe Cabelle]

Let’s just cut to the chase. Who do YOU think is better, who will win & point score.

 

[Moe Cabelle]

Agree. I fully expect to win and then see Kentucky probably fallen down the list but we won’t make it into the ranking as a result. There is no way that you include LSU in the rankings without including us. Sure weve got two beat downs but that’s exactly what we did to LSU. It’s bs.

 

[Shamoan]

Let's hope U.K. Comes out as lethargic as we did after our bye week. We need to play well to win.

 

[Shamoan]

Honestly, U.K. Plays to the level of their competition and I've watched most of their games. They have some playmakers and that qb is a gutsy guy that ends up making plays he shouldn't given his size and experience. I think we win, but we are in for a battle. Riveting take, I know.

 

[olblue.sixpack]

Stats from when they faced Grantham’s D last year.

http://www.espn.com/college-football/matchup?gameId=400869071

They have the personnel to challenge MSU vertically. And while they don’t target him enough, their TE is tough.

How do you type this comparing their sec competition and ours?

Well now, point of fact as Lou Dobbs would say, is our loss to Auburn in blow out fashion now looks a little suspect since Auburn lost to LSU. I think the poster is suggesting that we looked like **** in our two SEC losses and UK at least held serve. Yes, we should have lost to AU and UGA, but did we have to look like USA Soccer against Trinidad & Tobago doing it? I can see skepticism from our fans going into the Kentucky game. "Which State team shows up?" I lean toward the State team that played LSU because we still have a lot to play for this year.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

I assumed the line would be at least 10 maybe as high as 14.. My guess is the line goes higher.

 

[ronpolk]

I’m at a loss for these comments? How did we come out lethargic? We dominated that game from start to finish.

 

[tatedog]

Unfortunately, Dan Mullen has raised the bar of excellence for Mississippi State football to a level that Dan Mullen can no longer fulfill.*

 

[Xenomorph]

Gee, Moe.. that's sorta putting me on the spot over a simple opinion on resumes, don't ya think?

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Croom set it so low, many have PTSD and are happy with any movement past the 50 yard line.

 

[BiscuitEater]

Bigger than I was expecting.

Agree. I see Kentucky as a THE 'pivotal' game (without getting too dramatic). Win and I can see ~9-3. Lose and I can see ~6-6.

 

[00Dawg]

Don't forget 2002 and 2003, random years in the 90's, plus pretty much the decade before Sherrill. Oh, and 1949-1974 (with maybe two exceptions).

 

[coach66]

It comes down to our defense I think. If we play solid D and limit big plays I

think we win handily. If not, it's gonna be crazy probably.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

They do have a TE. Other than that, I wouldn't say the Louisville game last year should be any indication about how this game may go.

If Louisville didn't have Lamar Jackson, they would be a 6-6 type team the past few years.

 

[BiscuitEater]

... they have the 3rd best record of SEC teams, they are receiving 64 votes for Top 25 and we are receiving 6.

They are sitting at #26 in the poll. Good thing they are NOT Top 25. Do you know Mullen's record against Top 25 teams.**

Just a little 'chumming' for trolls .. bait sent!

I suspect that Auburn would disagree.

 

[philduckworth]

I’m at a loss for these comments? How did we come out lethargic? We dominated that game from start to finish.

We had a very nice TD drive to end the first half and again to start the 2nd half. We didn't really look good until then. Gene Chizik and the guys in the studio ripped us pretty good at halftime for being lethargic and that was after our TD to end the half.

We had scoring drives of 10 plays 89 yards, 8 plays 74 yards and 12 plays 75 yards. We also had a 12 play 74 yard drive end with a pick in the end zone. In the first half, we ran 52 plays for 394 yards and held the ball roughly 16 minutes. BYU ran 26 plays for 122 yards.

I wish we were always that lethargic.

I was at the game so I didn’t see gene but remind me what he’s doing again?

Here’s a tip. Try not to be such a tool.

You’re welcome.

I've done my share of bootlegging. Up 'ere, if you engage in what the federal government calls 'illegal activity,' but what we call 'just a man tryin' to make a livin' for his family sellin' moonshine liquor,' it behooves oneself to keep his wits. Long story short, we hear a story too good to be true... it ain't.

 

[Moe Cabelle]

Not at all. My point was to make you quit beating around the bush and just say Kentucky was better. Clearly that was your intent. No balls. But you were wrong anyway.
Curious if their resume improved today.
