I think some people need a nap

Overreact much?

We scored on the opening drive in the 2nd half and they were never within a score again. We were going to get their best shot just like we got Kentucky's best shot last year at their place. We absolutely played like ***. The first half was an abortion but we were still leading going into the locker room. Good teams can play like **** on the road and still win. We have games like this every season.

Some positives?

Dak had an off night but his numbers still looked solid. He can still run well with the weight he's lost.
Jefferson is going to be awesome.
B. Brown looked pretty good too.
Best FG/XP kicking we've seen since Dan got here. Those kicks were right down the middle and could've been good from further out, and they weren't chip shots either.
Returned a KO for a TD. They kicked it away from Holloway the rest of the game.

If you'd like a nice list of reasons (call them excuses too if you'd like) why the game was so close:
-Early season jitters
-Southern Miss Super Bowl
-Road game
-Vanilla playcalling
-Wet field/ball? I think this attributed to Shump slipping and some of Dak's passes.
-Who the **** schedules a 9 PM start time? We were the last team playing in all of CFB. I doubt the players stay up that late normally during the regular season. You have to think they didn't get in bed until 2-3 AM.

The best part about last night is now the series is tied 14-14-1

Finally after long last, no one can say Southern owns MSU in football.

Now we just need to settle that score with Maine.

I think we're fine. Did I like how the first game played out? Hell no. However, Corndogs come into DWS for their first game. In my opinion, two things contributed to that sloppy win:

1) We purposefully played the game like a warm up.

2) This was USM's biggest game of the year. They threw everything AND the kitchen sink at us.

I'll go all chicken little, sky is falling, panic mode after next week.
