The SEC is trash again this year..

I don't even want to think about who the second best team is right now.

 

[msstate7]

Yep. I don't see a great team in the whole country though. Bama is great defensively, but their offense is suspect.

The worst part is that if Auburn manages to Beat Bama then UM can still go to Atlanta. Let that sit on your mind the rest of this season.

Auburn ain't beating bama, so that's nothing to worry about

And OM ain't winning the EB.

I hope every being, from HC to Gatorade Girl, in the program feels the same way.

I may be not giving OM enough credit but the only thing that worries me about them is treadwell. I just have not been impressed with OM this year.

I'm concerned about protecting Dak in that game.

Have you been impressed with us? I think we should win, but A&M wasn't a particularly good team when we played them (not as terrible as they are now, but also probably not any better than UM is).

Their defense is pitiful but their offense has 5200 yards or so.... first in the league by a wide margin. They have a lot more than just Treadwell on that side of the ball. They have the best passing offense and the worst passing defense in the league.

Take a look at their conference only games... I'm not saying their offense is garbage. They are a good offense but I think we will be ok.

Should have been an easy year to cement State as a Top 2-3 team in the West.

 

[hailstate19]

the thing that scares me the most about UM is the fact that they have a lot of explosive plays. Almost every TD bama scored was an explosive play. How are we going to stop OM on huge plays?

OM doesn't have a Derrick Henry, and yesterday was an anomaly for us since we've been pretty good at preventing big plays this year. I think we'll be fine in that regard against them.

Strange, that was the exact feeling I had going into last year's game with them.

Mullen has not accepted that #10 and #32 can not be in the backfield. We need to put in our best genetic material at running back even if he turns the ball over because the other options are worse. Our best running back, the freshman, gives us the best chance to win our remaining Two games. Running backs #10 and #32 have used up too much of the first team reps and now our remaining games are at risk because of this. This might be why we are not a top 2-3 team regretfully.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

#10 is fine, just not up the middle.

 

[57stratdawg]

The double standard at that position this year has been pathetic. Williams can't get on the field because of protection and fumbles, but Shumpert and Holloway struggle with both.

I just have to assume there is more to the story. It simply can't be about on-field production or shortcomings at this point.
