Intensity is not an issue, these guys have not played down to a team since Nicks first year, or once playoff was gone like the 2 bowl game beatings we took.Their defense is salty. But their offense can’t hang. The score will depend on how beat up we are coming out of this LSU game, and what our intensity level is because of it.
Uh no, we have played down a few times. And I'm not a pessimist. But we have looked flat more than a few times against MSU after the LSU game.Intensity is not an issue, these guys have not played down to a team since Nicks first year, or once playoff was gone like the 2 bowl game beatings we took.
I’m referring to the physical toll last night’s game took. No I’m not worried about playing down. I’m worried about having to play a pretty physical MSU right after LSU.Intensity is not an issue, these guys have not played down to a team since Nicks first year, or once playoff was gone like the 2 bowl game beatings we took.
I still think that distinction belongs to LSU. MSUs front is very good though, but our OL negates that.If we stop their 3 plays, and score at will then it will be a walk in the park. I think as an overall defense they are probably the best we will, and have faced all year.
LSU had probably the weakest Dline that we have faced in SEC play this year. I think MSU has Mizzou's dline with a better secondary. I think we score more on them than we did on LSU because its at home and Fitz cant throw.I still think that distinction belongs to LSU. MSUs front is very good though, but our OL negates that.

I agree...............I think Bama wins, but much closer than any other game. Thankfully, even though Bama has some injuries, they aren't season ending, and I think Nick will preach this week about a letdown. Being at home is certainly a plus..............If past is prologue, we will win but by fewer points than we should. There's likely to be an emotional letdown after that intensity last night.
MSU has a very good defensive line, secondary is mediocre.
Our best asset is the fact that their offense really isn't very good at all.
Look at these point totals for MSU's offense:
UK - 7
UF - 6
LSU - 3
Their offensive stats are inflated by games like last night (45) and 63 points versus SFA.
We'll win, but I'm glad it's home, and it's gonna be closer than folks think (most likely).
It’s possible that you are right. Unless they have a better secondary than LSU this game should be a route.LSU had probably the weakest Dline that we have faced in SEC play this year. I think MSU has Mizzou's dline with a better secondary. I think we score more on them than we did on LSU because its at home and Fitz cant throw.
I agree - I think that their defense is better than LSU's defense. They are winning without an offense. I mean, they have no offense. None. So their defense has been pushed like no other in the SEC.If we stop their 3 plays, and score at will then it will be a walk in the park. I think as an overall defense they are probably the best we will, and have faced all year.
