I didn't realize K State was suppose to be that damn good.

switch auburn and kansas state and i would mostly agree. i hope that bit about taking a month to warm up to an offense is a bit overstated.

they aren’t. If we lose to K State, i’ll be worried.

Their strength is the running game. Guess what K State isn’t going to do well against MSU? Run the ball.

They lost to Vandy last year. Yes, that was without their starting QB. But their starting QB is now gone.

If we have that kind of year in conference, there's no way we lose to Kansas State.

A KSU loss is somewhat hard to see. They do have a lot of upperclassmen on the two deep but they lost to Vanderbilt last year and it was before Kyle Shurmur showed any type of spark. Unless they had everyone suspended for that game I can't see that much of an improvement this year.

As for the PSU adjustment to the Moorehead system, didn't they run more of a pro style in 2015 with Hackenburg? If I am thinking right, that could be a bit of a jump from one system to another. Plus McSorely was seeing his first action in 2016, right? So that seems if could be quite a bit of change. Fitz has been running a similar offence to JM's for five years though the current receivers haven't.

[FONT=&quot]The real hurdle for MSU to overcome is the deep passing game. Not only coaching Fitzgerald up, but finding the deep targets. Moorhead has tweaked his throwing motion to help with that. Perhaps a combination of Deddrick Thomas attracting attention from the slot with Austin Williams (someone Moorhead has been quite high on) and Jesse Jackson as the downfield threats will be the answer.

[/FONT]No mention of Guidry, Dear, Mixon or Whop as receivers. What does this guy know?

The maroon and white clad bulldogs are going to be damn good in 2018. Floor is 8-4 IMO with a ceiling of 11-1. Who the 17 really knows until the games are played? I think the biggest question mark is how Fitzgerald will perform. He suffered a devastating injurylast November and he will be asked to play at a more sophisticated level this year than he ever did under Don Merlin.

For once Saturday down south posts something positive about us. They pissed me off years ago and haven't followed them since.

One thing I’m not in agreement with in this article is the landsharks putting up a lot of points on us. Are the sharks really supposed to be that good offensively?

im not sure this guy realizes how much K State lost on defense....and I doubt ANY running back will go for 100 on the MSU defense....

You misspelled Sharts.

I'm gonna love this.

Are you like 18yrs old? I'm with you I think we beat KSU and it could get ugly, but if you've been an MSU fan for any amount of considerable time where you can actually think for yourself, you know anything is possible.

Us beating Vandy in that Super after the b2b bombs (1 a 2HR) to send to extra innings, was almost the most MSU thing ever way to lose a game (a big one at that).....BUT we ended up winning.

Just saying be confident, but 11am road game for the second game of the season in Manhattan, KS shouldn't be viewed as a cake walk.

Remember the National Championship in the NCAAWT against ND? Yeah...I think you do.

Surprised he did not mention Guidry, but then again he mentioned Austin Williams. I go to SDS often. This guy is pretty knowledgeable about our team and has been harping on us for a while like he says repeatedly in the article.

He was actually on Orlando sports radio this week and talked up State.
