I went to the Mizzou/Vandy game yesterday. If Mizzou marches up and down the field in the first quarter that will say something. We all know State's D has let teams do it all season.
Mizzou hasn't scored a TD in over 8 quarters.
Against Vandy they got a first down on their opening drive....then did not have another first down until just over 3 minutes left in the 3rd qtr. I am not joking. They didn't cross mid-field until shortly after on a fake punt late in the 3rd qtr. When Mizzou finally got their second 1st down late in the 3rd quarter, their fans stood up and cheered for a while...was pretty funny.
I was worried about the Mizzou game several weeks back...not by their play but by ours and also being a road game on a Thursday night. But after yesterday and seeing a real complete game by the Dogs I feel much better. There's no reason we shouldn't be 7-2 in November getting ready to host Alabama. Dak's last shot against the Tide.
With the missed FG loss against LSU and our poor performance vs TXA&M, as a Bulldog fan it feels good to say we're 7-2 in November even though we may dwell on those two games more than the other games this year. Things could be worse...we could be Auburn. They had the media loving them all pre-season (SEC Champs) and they probably will not make a bowl game.
Just remember, two seasons ago we finished 6-6 and the last two wins were comebacks and OT wins just to make a bowl game. We've come a long way. Don't forget that was just 2013.
Let's enjoy this season and watching perhaps the best Bulldog player in school history.
Hail State.
