MSU #20 AP Preseason Poll

Auburn #23. nm**

 

[MedDawg]

If we can win at Auburn, that will 'allow' us to lose to either USC or UGA and have the same record as last year. Win all 3, and we are 9-3, 5-3.

Depleted at OL. Depleted at RB. All Star WR gone. Aaron Murry's good, but one man doesn't make a team.

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

Last season he showed a great knack for getting rid of the ball when he needed to, and he also shows a good ability to scramble, but he can't take on an SEC schedule by himself like you said. He isn't very big and his durability is going to be an issue.</p>

 

[Sutterkane]

Seems like we had a lot of fumbles that simply went our way. That game could've been very different. That said Relf is a lot more confident and we've got a pretty solid offense now. I think we beat UGA by at least 7.

Murray is a good quarterback, will be a great quarterback if he keeps going like he's going, but nobody is good when they are running for their lives (except maybe Wayne Madkin, looking back on those games it's amazing we ever won as he is constantly scrambling). I put the game at even just because they have home field advantage. I think we should win that game though based on the talent and experience.

or he's a genius prognosticator. Time will tell, and I something tells me it's the former and not the latter.
