MSU's losses are to teams ranked at #4, #9, and #12 in the AP Poll. People looking at the team objectively (on paper) from the outside don't share the Croom-esque gloom we suffer from having followed the offense in actual games.

Same deal as every conference game we’ve played this season: our defense will give us a chance to win, but actually winning will be determined by if our offense can just do enough.

But..... if we were the team everyone says we were, those teams would not be 4, 9, and 12. And they would have 1 extra loss each. Remember we started ranked higher than the 3 SEC teams we lost to.

I did a quick run through the stats for a few of the Aggies' games, and it does look like the only teams to move the ball on them did it through the air. Texas A&M is giving up 241.7 yards per game through the air, which ranks them at #91 on pass defense.

Hopefully, home field will be a big advantage for our Bulldogs.
