Samford would probably beat 3 or 4 SEC teams

[57stratdawg]

Not that it's a moral victory, but they would beat Missouri, Vandy and some combination of UK/UGA/SC. Pretty impressive team they have.

They were damn fast at getting the ball snapped too even in an era where that sort of thing doesn't catch your eye anymore.

 

[Dawg1976]

I have a hard time believing that.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

They might beat Mizzou, maybe.

 

[coach66]

Impressive offense (103 plays), defense was poor but yes a respectable team. I

Have never been so ready for a game to end.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

So you're saying we're in the top ten in conference?

 

[Rockydawg]

********.

 

[ShrubDog]

We played Samford not Stanford.

 

[FlotownDawg]

Stop it. They would not beat four SEC teams. That's crazy. Seeing we're no better than 12th-13th in the conference now, and they couldn't beat us, they couldn't beat anyone but possibly one team. Mizzou maybe.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

i agree.


but only if the other 3 or 4 SEC teams were only allowed to play 5 players on the field each play.

 

[FreeDawg]

Samford would not beat any SEC team. Their best chance was yesterday. If making a power ranking, MSU or Mizzou is dead last in the SEC. SC would beat our brains out if we played again. We are absolute trash. These last 4 games are going to be bloodbaths.

 

[Shmuley]

^^^ things Bobby C will say.

 

[FlotownDawg]

I guess since UT Chattanooga beat Samford 41-21, they would finish in the top five of the SEC and play in the Outback Bowl.

UGA beat a 4-4 FCS team by 2 earlier this year. You're telling me there's no way they lose to a 6-2 one?

We way overrate the bottom of this conference.

 

[dawgatUSM]

You realize UT Chattanooga is a top 10 1AA team right? They could beat a handful
of SEC teams too.

For thr record, Samford is ranked 19 in the FCS currently

 

[FreeDawg]

I get your point. Don't forget AppState gave UT hell too. All I'm saying is MSU is arguably the worst team in the SEC. I'm not sure judging Samford by our defense is a good idea.

 

[Xenomorph]

Yeah.. If they payed us 5 times in a row.

They were damn fast at getting the ball snapped too even in an era where that sort of thing doesn't catch your eye anymore.

I'll take "Threads you only see when you're heading for a 3-9 season" for 500 Alec.

 

[woozman]

No. Maybe Mizzou.

Missouri is maybe the only team they would beat. Maybe.

MSU wishes they were playing defense like Vandy is now. They held UGA to 16 points in a win, Held Florida to 13, and held UK to 20. All of which MSU hasn't/could not do.

UGA? No.

SC? Just beat UT and playing their *** off even though they have went through adversity early. Also has a coach that knows defense.

UK? Nope. They smell a bowl and are also playing with heart and grit. Neither of which MSU is doing.

 

[Shamoan]

Maybe in ping-pong. They have a ton of asians.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Ha! No

The Defensive Coaching on this team is absolutely atrocious. With that being said Saturday solidified Fitz for me. If we are working for the future than Fitz is the guy. However I wasnt against Damian because I felt he couldve been a Blake Sims like guy for us.

But as to your point, there doesnt seem to be anyone on Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M, or Auburns level right now. maybe A&M will slip idk I guess we see this week. but I just dont see many differences between any SEC East team, MSU, Arkansas, or Ole Miss. Every game seems tight between these teams. And I could see MSU winning a game or two in November because of this. Could've should've would've for the other games but now you have to ask yourself whats the plan.

Now I am of the opinion that hiring a west coast defensive coordinator wasnt exactly the brightest idea as they don't have the physicalality that the SEC has. THe Defense looks more lost than the OL. OL is a recruiting issue. defense is a coaching issue. and thats why I am questioning why the #1 guy you want out is hevs when the defense looks even worse than the OL does right now. Just look at them at the 2nd half against USA, the UMass game, the Samford game, and the Kentucky game.

 

[57stratdawg]

Guys, the bottom of the SEC are Sun Belt teams. If you at the schedules of MSU, UK, Missouri, Vandy & South Carolina, you'll see:

A loss to USM
A loss to South Alabama
A loss to Midd Tenn State
Two nail-biters against UMass
An close game against a Ohio Valley school in the 4Q
A 2-10 record against other SEC schools with an average score of 32-12

You're telling me UMass can go to toe to toe against these schools, but Samford would have no chance?

Honestly, I'm not sure how far OM and UGA are ahead of those 5 schools, but thats another story.

 

[scdog1]

Dumbest **** I've seen on this board in a long time, that is strong list to beat. Well done sir!

 

[patdog]

MSU is NOT the worst team in the SEC. Mizzou and South Carolina are both worse. Vandy and Kentucky about equal.

Wow, you really don't know how bad our defense really is?

 

[Junction John]

They would move the ball on other teams. Their D is the problem. If we rolled up 690 yards... wow.

 

[57stratdawg]

Right. i'm sure Samford wouldn't be ready for what Missouri's 116 ranked D threw at them.

 

[Dawgzilla]

They would definitely have a chance to beat at least 4 SEC teams:


The 1999 USC Gamecocks
The 1982 Kentucky Wildcats
The 1979 Vanderbilt Commodores
The 1988 MSU Bulldogs

And just about any of the Sewanee teams from 1932 to 1940.
