re: Mississippi State was 6-7 last year

"The sky is falling" reaction is warranted.

The sky is lower than it was last week, but it's not falling.

Obviously a bad loss, but take the following into account.

1. Dline Depth is bad and the importance was put on full display against MSU. Lawrence and Big Ed make this a completely different team.

2. MSU could be a very good team. We really don't know. I know the feeling is they won't challenge for the West, but no one knows that.

3. In 2014 Auburn absolutely blew our doors off in a similar situation, we won 4 SEC games that year and took Bama to overtime in what should have been a win.

4. Momentum is always understated in CFB. Had the first touchdown counted the game could have turned out very differently with the same exact team.


I'm not here to support O or the catastrophe that was on display, but there is no reason to go running for the razors quite yet.
