MSU has a great front 7 but their secondary SUCKS. The reason our offense looked bad is because Jennings had a very bad night. He decided before the snap who to throw it to, he didn't throw to WIDE OPEN receivers, he had a lot of inaccurate throws.

Jennings likes to throw the ball deep because it worked in the first two games, but he if threw it to his check downs he would have done a lot better.

If Jennings or Harris start to go through their progressions our offense will get a lot better.

MSU could stack the box with 8 or 9 because they didn't believe Jennings could beat them, and they were correct. The success of our offense comes down to the QB play. If the team we play don't believe we can throw it, they will play the run every play.

No, we are just not that good this year. Too many freshman.

They get Auburn and TA&M at home. Where will their 4 losses come from? They'd have to lose 3 of their 4 games with AU, A&M, OM, and Arkansas. They get Kentucky and Vandy from the east, both W's.

Them and Kentucky will be a nail biter. Uk will test their secondary throwing the ball. Their secondary is so bad we were able to beat them deep while they were playing prevent. That is horrendous

aTm and OM will crush state because their secondary is shite. AU will most likely best them because they are more talented and Arky has a shot because their running game is legit.

They will lose to Bama, Auburn, A&M, and Ole Miss. This wasn't a good loss, no matter how you try to spin it.

They might be very good, but there are likely at least 4 teams better in the West alone.

That's not good enough for LSU.

Their secondary is the only weakness. I was talking about them before the season about how they are one of the most experienced teams in the country.

They brought back 8 on defense if I remember. They brought back every WR except for one, and they brought back the RBs minus Perkins, Dak, and most of OL. I think about 16-17 total starters.

Thing is, if Dak stays, they'll bring back about 13 of these guys next year, plus whoever replaced the 2013 starters.

Then that recruiting class is getting better by the day, and is loaded on defense. MSU will not be a gimme for the foreseeable future

State will be ranked at the end of the year. And they should have been ranked for this game. They were essentially no 26 in the country.

What does transitive property have to do with it? Miss St and LSU played each other last Saturday night. Miss St was the better team, by far. What do you feel is the reason that they were so much better than us on that night?

They also out-talented us on the lines and at QB, the two most important positions

You wrote this as though it would pain us to admit that they were good. That would make me feel better. I think they're mediocre, and I imagine that quite a few of you are going to feel worse about this beatdown after they start dropping games.

They will e 8-4, at best. Probably 7-5.

Don't agree with you, the best part of this discussion on the ups and downs of both teams is we have the rest of the season to see who is right
