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 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.
