7-5, maybe 8-4 with some improvement.....

[SLUdog]

I still think we'll beat UF. We played horribly and UK played quite well at home. Obviously, UF game is really big now.

thats how how it feels right now.

I don’t think things are as bad as they seem right now, but it feels a little foolish to project anything above 9-3 at this point. And yeah, 7-5 or 8-4 are totally in play. Most had us going 9-3 or 10-2 but had us starting 5-0.

Beat Florida and Auburn and we are back on track to some degree. If we don’t do that, yeah 8-4 is probably best case scenario.

The way it feels right now, we'll need to win the Egg Bowl to be bowl eligible. I would never have thought that at the beginning of the season.

It feels bad because of the hype going into the season, and you lost to Kentucky. But here’s the thing. You lost an SEC road game. This isn’t your typical Kentucky team, they are gonna win their share. Based on talent, State should have won. But a lot of the “Mullen would have won this game” people forget that Mullen lost to Kentucky on the road 2 years ago. You have a first year head coach in the SEC. There are gonna be some growing pains. I still like the talent on your team, and think 8-4 to 9-3 is the likely outcome.

this depends for me. does Moorhead continue to not try to establish the run and commit to it on 1st and 2nd downs with a team built to do so or does he continue to let our offensive line get exposed and drop back to pass only to either miss receivers, drop passes, or get sacked because the line gets beat.
If he commits to run the ball with a team built to do so, then I could see us being 8-4 maybe, but if not it's 6-6 type year for me. We will beat arkansas, LaTech, and Ole Miss. that's all i can see as W's right now.

 

[civildawg88]

If we go 7-5 this year with this team, moorhead should be shown the door

 

[Villagedawg]

This is correct. Add Arkansas to the toss up column.

 

[ShrubDog]

9 wins is a lock, Shoop is the real deal and Moorhead can’t mess this up.

You just feeling edgy this morning? What about Arkansas makes you think that game will be remotely close? Is it the 44-17 loss to North Texas? Or the hard fought loss to Colorado state? Maybe it’s that we won’t be able to handle the pressure of playing them at home.

 

[Dawg1976]

Agree. 6-6 will be a struggle if last night is an example of where we are against decent teams.

 

[HotMop]

Get off the ledge, we finish 14-1. Cant you see the brilliance of Moorhead? He is showing weakness early so we can sneak up on UF this week at home!

 

[Hugh Sleeze]

6 - 5 heading into the Egg Bowl. Basically, it's what we should expect any time we receive preseason hype. Egg Bowl looks like a toss up, because Fitz is going to have to throw to keep up with Taamu and that puts us behind the 8 ball.

I like that Moorhead asked the guys what their ring size was, but too bad he can't back it up. Now he looks like a dipshit. Unless we get rings for finishing 5th in the West.

 

[Shamoan]

Ole miss could have all 11 in the box and it still wouldn't matter.

 

[Villagedawg]

None of those. It's the 28-7 loss to U.K. And the complete ineptitude in all aspects of offensive football. We may beat Arkansas, but I damn sure wouldn't bet on it.

This almost exact roster went 8-4 in the regular season last year. We traded UGA out for FL. If we don't go 9-3 or better the whole staff should be shown the door. We can start the rebuild next year. But these MSU rosters come around every 5-10 years. You don't capitalize, then carry your tail back to Fordham or somewhere where you can get away without establishing the run and think you know football.

12 carries from our backs. 12! TWELVE!

We rushed for 286 yards on 45 carries as a team against this same Kentucky last year. I was very hopeful about Moorhead. I was wrong. That was a clown show and he's overpaid if he's paid anything.

Certainly anything less than 9-3 is underachieving. And make no mistake, Saturday was god awful. How do we not have a single coach on the offensive side of the ball willing to slap moorhead and tell him to get his head of his *** and give help on Allen, or run right at him, or read off of him or something other than letting him pin his ears back and go after our qb while he makes a 5 step drop. But you don't fire a staff after one year. It would just make it impossible to replace him.
