His defense just has not competed against a team with a pulse… not showing any toughness or physicality. Too many wide open receivers, getting whipped up front and poor tackling in space.

 

[The Usual Suspect]

Other than Kelly Jones, who else on D would start elsewhere?

 

[CascillaCountryClub]

Isaac Smith, Lockhart, Jett Johnson, Whitson, Amaree Williams got DL of week

They’re ok. Reality is we are still mid to lower level SEC talent wise and as a team overall. Nothing has been suddenly revealed that we haven’t known since game 1. We SHOULD end up at least bowl eligible (depending on injuries) at seasons end. Way beyond what I expected.

That is right. But, how often are we going to have a qb talent that is able to cover up deficiencies on offense? With an average college qb we don’t beat MO and probably not SC. We have to get better at many more positions to compete. Injuries are always going to happen.

Supposedly we practice against a Tempo offense in practice… so far about 5 plays today we didn’t have play call in when LSU snapped the ball.

 

[CascillaCountryClub]

Just can’t have guys running wide open with a 4 man rush.

Texas in trouble. Wouldn’t bother me if Texas lost.

Absolutely.

Probably applies to 80 percent of the programs.

State is one player. Everything else is trash.

not as trashy as some of it's "fans"

This team as it’s built today is to compete on the offensive side of the ball. To go toe to toe on offense and hope to slow you down on defense.

Thats how we win.

Build a shutdown defense for next year and we are unstoppable.

We’ve still got a ways to go on both sides of the ball. Hopefully we’ll be able to still reach 6-7 wins. Doing that along with our highlight worthy moments will get better talent to consider our NIL offers.

"Toe to toe" is not a popular expression as pertains to State right now.
