Even with a fully healthy K1, we still won't beat good SEC teams

[aTotal360]

Not being able to run against Bama's 5-man box told the entire story.

Lubby can be "addicted to speed" but he better get "addicted to winning in the trenches".

 

[jethreauxdawg]

We don’t have the lines to play with good teams.

 

[Seinfeld]

Not when you've got a head coach telling you that we're fine at OL, and the improvement there is a night and day difference

Our OL is still bottom 3 in the league, and we will not be able to beat a team like this until it significantly improves

 

[Anon1727378473]

I’m not sure lubby understands that! Just saying been three years to develop a line

 

[The Usual Suspect]

These types of games always rip off the home team glasses for everyone. Looking back at the previous three games, most of our scores were long distance bombs. We had few consistent time running 11 play drives. We don’t have a line that can do that.

 

[skydawg1]

Missing Fluff hurt today.

 

[DerHntr]

18 yards rushing. 2 interceptions. 2 lost fumbles.

Show me a team that has ever won against a good opponent when pointing both barrels at their feet and repeatedly pulling the trigger.

 

[Dawg1976]

True and not deep in any position. Can’t play with the upper tier in our situation.

They play tight when they are overwhelmed by the other team’s strength and athleticism. That is called nerves.

 

[Villagedawg]

Nope

He is Leach light. They believe they can scheme away talent deficiencies, and you can’t in this conference.

 

[Seinfeld]

Like I said in another thread, our roster is the most razor thin in the entire conference. The drop off from our starters to backups is monumental for all but a couple positions

 

[patdog]

I’d like to have seen how well we could run on Alabama with a healthy KT & a healthy Bothwell. With 24 out & 1 so limited we were as 1 dimensional as I’ve ever seen.

 

[22yardpunt]

We have never had the talent on the line to compete with Bama or the others haves. It’s not just a Lebby thing.

Yep… late to the NIL game and had a huge hole to dig out of…we are catching up on the NIL game, hopefully it will bring depth In the offseason

 

[civildawg88]

A guy that sucked for us is a starting OL at bama, one that bullied us today. Loadholt should have been fired last year

 

[Villagedawg]

I thought they’d win by two touchdowns. They won by 4+. That’s why I quit betting.

And their starting right tackle was out today

We’re like the monster truck Scooby Doo and Alabama is gravedigger. Can’t have one without the other.

No, but signing a starting LT that has no remaining eligibility certainly is

It’s been a thing since college football started making money. About 50-60 years. As much as things have changed, nothing has changed.

 

[The Usual Suspect]

The best thing KT can do for MSU is to stay healthy, and by being here increase nil giving. That also helps himself by getting some depth around him.

 

[POTUS]

If K1 cannot run, he’s not a dynamic QB and we will not score much. He’s got a great arm but he’s basically Will Rogers with a cannon if he is hobbled.

Hamstring, Possible Foot Fracture and Flu will slow you down.

Loadholt is by far the weakest link on the staff. Lebby refuses to see it though

 

[MSUDC11-2.0]

Fluff had three straight 100 yard games coming into this one. We are a much better rushing team when healthy than we showed today.

 

[CascillaCountryClub]

are these good SEC teams?

One of them is decent.

We get it, your herpes is painful today

I'm certainly not counting Auburn as an automatic win like a lot of people are.

 

[CascillaCountryClub]

Which one?

 

[patdog]

Which one?

Tennessee. Not particularly good. But decent.

We already beat a good SEC team.

His accuracy has GOT to improve. We've seen instances of that this year and it didn't hurt us in those games but it damn sure did today.

 

[GloryDawg]

The only question I have is why the running back room is so thin?

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Tennessee. Not particularly good. But decent.

Are they “good” because they played Texas close?

 

[Crazy Cotton]

Missouri has held Baugh, the second coming of Earl Cambell, to 12 yards on 9 carries. Our line is better than we give them credit for. We didn't have any runners for them to block for today. Plenty of times Kamario had open field in front of him, but a body that wasn't working.

It was a Murphy’s Law, burn the tape kind of game in every way. I will be surprised if we look this bad again the rest of the year.

 

[CascillaCountryClub]

Heck of a block by the Ref in the Auburn-Tenn game… a de-cleater.

 

[PrimeDog]

Hope all those “I’m not scared of Dabore” folks enjoyed watching him drive his dick down Lebbro’s gullet.
