Game Plan for Mississippi State
Mi$$ state is 9-0 for the first time in the school history In 2012, they went 7-0 before losing to Alabama. This time, Mi$$ state is lot better, tougher, and stronger team. They are coming to the T-town with plenty of questions that needs to be answered. Again, Everyone keeps saying that stats is skewed and it probably is, but nevertheless, the numbers don't lie. We know Texas A and M , Auburn, Kentucky and LSU lighted them up with their passing game and their rushing defense haven't been great, but it gets the job done for the D.
How do we stop Miss State and come away with D?
Turnover is the key. Dan Prescott has 7 ints for the year. He's on track to have between 9 and 12 ints this season. WE need to find a way to blitz but keep him from running. It is possible we'll see someone on D to spy him. We know he is not 100 percent, so that could work to our advantage. Miss state loves to spread the ball around to different WRs, so We need CBs to play clean game. I expect Landon Collin, once again to have big game. Prescott and Robinson are dangerous in red zone. It's amazing that We know we matched up well against LSU, and Miss played LSU. LSU forced 2 fumbles in that game If we can take away their running game, we can force MSU to be one dimensional team with passing game. Can anyone tell me if LSU or Auburn constantly put pressure on MSU throughout the game, forcing Dan to scramble all the time? I don't remember seeing that, I don't think? Oh, we gotta watch out for "trick plays" they'll likely to pull 1 or two in the game.
How do we score against Miss State with our offense?
Keep doing what we do best: Find the best matchup and go with it. I don't think we'll see the same thing what we saw against LSU. Miss State Secondary is very weak at best, and I think we'll try and take shots at them, if the opportunity is there. We might see Stewart getting some playing time to help out the offense. I expect Miss state to put their safety on the top to try and limit Cooper, but Something tells me that White, Jones, black or Sims will get the job done. Our running game should be lot better. Now is the time to use Fowler in the running game little more to help wear down the defense in second half. Yeldon and Henry with option of Fowler should get the job done. Let's not forget that We saw OJ Howard stepping up big time in the game against LSU, so I think he'll get some looks against MSU. Blake Sims have to do what he do best: just play with his heart, and go with flow. I think the game plan will be half conservation and half aggressive. If we can get points on board real fast, and keep making plays, we'll be okay. I Just hope CNS won't try to protect the lead in 3rd quarter, because I want to keep putting points on MSU, making it harder for them to come back. This is the game where Kiffin will truly open his playbook a little and we'll see lot of people getting involved this time.
