I looked up Miss State's defense stats for the SEC:I can't see them scoring more than 14, and even those would come on busted plays. In other words, I don't see them putting together any drives on our defense.
I do respect their defense, and expect them to probably be a tougher challenge than LSU was. In the end, however, keep Tua upright and they aren't going to keep us from scoring. I do expect us to take a bit longer than usual to get going. Maybe we don't score 50 this week. But in the end, we will finish them off as expected.
37-10. (Yes, I am predicting a missed XP, but one successful FG, and 5 TDs).
I posted earlier - those pass D numbers are misleading. They have played three of the four worst passing offenses in the SEC (and, yeah, the level of competition does matter). They are the other member of that foursome.I looked up Miss State's defense stats for the SEC:
Scoring D- 1st
Rush- 3rd
Pass - 1st
Total- 1st
3rd downs- 2nd
Sacks- 3rd
TFL- 4th
This looks better than LSU's defense. I predicted 38-17 a few days ago (I think that is what I predicted). Our offensive line must protect Tua. Not sure Jalen is ready. Mac playing most of game would make me nervous. I hope Devonte, Ruggs, and Najee are ready, but I doubt Najee will be. I know our defense will be ready.. just hope nobody gets hurt in this game.
I think we try to get the TKO early so we can cruise the rest of the game. I think we come out chunking the rock down the field.
