Peter Burns quote

Peter Burns said “2018 Mississippi State would beat 2014 Mississippi State by 2 touchdowns”

Do y’all agree? I do think this team is more talented. But the offense in 2014 was pretty special

 

[The Fatboy]

18 defense may be better so it's possible. I'm reserving judgement though. That's a pretty bold statement.

 

[BertleTheTurtle]

Pretty sure he said that this year's team would beat last year's team by 2 touchdowns, not 2014.

 

[o_dawgnabit]

No he said 2014

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

I dunno, the 2014 team was a monster on offense and talented as hell on defense.

I’m gonna say 2014 wins until we see what this teams really about.

 

[Bulldogg31]

2014 lost by 2 TD's to both Ga Tech and OM. I think our team in 2018 would beat either of those teams in 2014, so I think 2018 State would have a good shot against 2014 State.

Me too. I think this team has the potential to be that good if the receivers step up and Fitzgerald is 100% after the injury. But we just won't know until we see them play for real.

 

[RightOfCenter]

It would all depend on this years DB's because MSU had good receiver play that year.

If you think back, as much as I hate to admit it, our Oline struggle times against good to elite DLines. You put the 2018 State team should be in the 2014 backfield all day with the right coach.

1A - 1B

 

[Grove Sh*tter]

I think the offense was better with dak, bear, and jrob. But don't forget Preston Smith, benardrick, beniquez, taveze, Matthew 17n Wells, redmond, et al.

Like the wolf said on pulp fiction:
"Let's not start somethinging each other's somethings just yet."

 

[Felonious Junk]

WGAF?

 

[MSUDC11]

Depends on which 2014 team you are talking about.

The 2014 team in late September and early October was the best team in college football.

The 2014 team after the Auburn game looked a lot like a 7-5 or 8-4 team.

 

[Dawgzilla]

A bit early to say. I mean, one big reason the 2014 team was able to vault to No.1 was the metrics being used to compare teams...we had eye-popping stats on both offense and defense, and were getting huge first half leads on teams. That all kind of stopped in November of 2014, though.

Came here to say exactly this. ...Are we talking before or after Mullen checked out and started shopping?
