Moving on...Can we talk about how stout the defense was?

This Miss State team plowed through Aubby’s front 7. The 2nd drive of the game had me worried for a second but that’s just how Aranda rolls. He wants to see exactly how the offense wants to play and makes adjustments as the game goes on. That’s why he’s the best in the business.
We had a lot of guys step up and make some great plays, including Neal Ferrell, Jacoby had a great tackle in space on Fitz, Shelvin looked good in the few snaps he played (hope he can get in shape, dude is a monster), Fulton made some good tackles, Divinity is starting to turn in to a player, and overall the front 7 looked like a different animal than what we saw vs Florida and other times this season. Of course, our backs balled out as usual.

Despite the DW call, this defense has to be feeling good going in to the Bama game. Of course we wanted more touchdowns in the redzone... but Miss St is a team you survive, not throttle. Simmons and Sweat are going to make a lot of money on Sundays.
