I'm getting worried that we are going to lose our last 4. I can handle beating UK and losing our last 3, but at this 6-2 point I REALLY don't want to stumble into a bowlat 6-6. Give me something wooly to last until Saturday.
Some will say that the UAB was our trap/****** performance game of the year, but I'm a little hesitant to buy that. We've played ****** offensively the past two games (yes, I think FL is pretty bad this year). Also, Relf is not improving with throwing the ball (hell, he may even be regressing). We have to get some offensive production in these final four games, or we'll lose; unless, we play Croom ball and bank on our defense scoring for us. </p>
I think we beat Kentucky and either Arkansas or Ole Miss. It will be another huge crowd this weekend. We should get Ballard back and I would think we'll have a good week of practice and won't look past Kentucky. With Ballard this past weekend, we probably score at least 2 touchdowns out of the five field goals.
Alabama on the road with them climbing back in the ranks doesn't bode well for us. We might just get worn down by the running game and Julio.
Arkansas has stumbled some and has had tough 4th quarters where we've played tough four quarters and generally shown better conditioning and strength than opposing teams. Our pass defense has been pretty average but I think we're behind the curve for what we should be getting as far as interceptions and may get a couple against Ourkansas.
Ole Miss is a tossup in that the home game has about a 15 point advantage in the Egg Bowl. Given the way we hammered Ole Miss last year and the smack talk, the Black Bears might come out like a Bear who's lost its honey. Even so, we have a shot because I think we're a better team this year as far as how we play and an overall better team than *+!@, and the mental state of our team is different than past years.
There you have it. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Woke up, drove the ball down the field for insurance points, had a kick ALL THE WAY TO THE GOAL LINE! And then had such nasty coverage that their dude gave us the ball so that we wouldn't whack him again. And come on, our backup ran the ball for 130 yards - is that really comparable with the idea that we were playing like utter ****?
been like if 3 of those field goals were touchdowns instead. With Ballard in there, there is a pretty good chance they are and that the game isn't close.
it was UAB in the middle of a tough stretch. I wish everybody would chill out. Could we lose all 4? Yes. But we won't. Could we win all 4? Yes. But we won't. And I'd bet the house we fight our *** off in all four.</p>
I think we really missed him against UAB. He is the type of runner that gets those tough yards. Perkins did look better as the game went on Saturday though..
Perkins played well and I was pumped with his big runs. He shows great speed. I just think Ballard is a bit bigger and tougher and probably would have gotten some first downs or 5-10 yard runs more consistently with more 3rd and short opportunities. I think that we would've taken the ball all the way in a couple of times instead of settling for the 5 field goals. I don't think we played all that horrible though we could certainly have played better. I think UAB is a pretty decent team that played very well except for the turnovers which were forced. UAB had good line play both ways, their QB looked sharp and their RB's were pretty quick, knocking off 5-10 yards here and there. All that said, sometimes you don't play your best and sometimes your opponent plays very well. That's when you have to really dig deep, keep playing till the horn and find a way to win. MSU did just that which has been lacking in previous years.

Relf has taken a beating lately, I'm looking for a radical change, as Kentuck will dare Relf to throw.Think Kentuck is UAB part II. Enter..the, Second Coming!
