My concern with Pig was that they would pound out the ground game, control the clock and wear us out in the 4th quarter. Thankfully some of that didn't happen.

My concern with MS State is their balanced attack and their QB's ability to make things happen. Their QB will be the best we face this year. He's big, can throw the ball anywhere and is an incredible athlete in open space. We better put a spy on him like LSU did to JFF, else this may be a long day.

It may turn into a shoot out with the last team possessing the ball winning the game.

This isn't a loss of confidence in our team or KDS, it's more of a nail biting situation because MS.State is the real deal.

Bama may be the most complete team but i'll worry about them during that week.....

"IT TAKES DEFENSE..." KDS

Yeah, cause this game worries me less.

we'll have to play great football to beat them. Yeah, I'm concerned.

Enjoy it! We are playing meaningful football games in a great conference and we have a pretty good team!

Offense is the key to the game tomorrow. Play like we did against Arky and it won't be good.

Don't think that happens. Ags win 45-21.

No, you're not. I SHOULD have worried more about the piggies, but I didn't know they could give our Oline trouble. I expect State will do so as well. AND they have Dak. And better receivers than Arky.
I just don't have a handle on the game. Maybe MSU is overrated and we blow them out. Or vice versa.

Every time I start worrying I just remind myself that they have the 124th ranked pass defense in the nation. Then I give T&P to their butt holes.

Every single game from here on out, even ULM, worries me. It's like coach Snyder and KDS have said, we take it one game at a time. If we focus on going 1-0 every week we will be fine.

You're definitely not alone. I am seeing about a 65/35 split in terms of people favoring MSU over the Good Guys, and they all have legitimate reasons to do so. I think the Ags can win tomorrow, but we need to play a much tighter game than we did against Arkansas.

I think the Arkansas game was the wake-up call the team needed to pull things together. I have faith that Coach Sumlin and staff have worked on the issues with penalties, dropped passes, and bad pass coverage this week to prepare for their Starkville adventure. If the team that played in the 4th quarter against the Hogs shows up tomorrow, we will win that game.

Here's to going to 6-0 (3-0 SEC). Gig 'em, Aggies, and Beat the Hell Outta Mississippi State!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep. The O is going in dry. No foreplay. Just going to get right after it

I am expecting the MSU defense to be outstanding tomorrow. It's not a slight on A&M at all, but I still don't think everyone understands how talented they are. I know what A&M has on offense too.

One of teams I like will lose tomorrow and even if MSU wins it will be bittersweet. If A&M wins after what we did to LSU, the one thought that will be going through mind is MAN A&M IS AWESOME. All win/win for me, so zero worry here.

124th ranked defense against the pass? We are most excellent with the pass.

If our DEs contain Prescott and our linebackers tackle, I think we do ok.

I think we pull away in the 2nd half and win comfortably (10+ pts). I'm thinking a 42- 28 type game.

Frankly, I was more worried about Pig U because we had played pansies for 3 weeks.

Arky might be better than lsu this year. We'll see. Our offense was at its worst and still scored 35. Aggies will score 40, and I think that will be enough.

As long as we keep him in space and make him run down hill we should be okay. But if the WR's catch the ball at the highest point we might have trouble.

Dude, you think letting their QB into space is good for us, or am I misunderstanding you're point?

I have two concerns for the game.

1. They have a dual threat qb. We didn't handle it well against Rice. That said, we were also missing our two best linebackers for that game, so it's hard to get a sense of how ready we are to deal with that kind of offense.

2. Our receivers have had serious issues with drops outside of the South Carolina game. If they play clean though, their secondary will likely get torched.

im being facetious using football terms that annoy me. None of what I put was I serious about. Just being silly dude

Always worried when so much depends on the Quarterback play. A&M has super weapons but if the QB is having a bad day, it is over. Not like the old days when the Team with the best line and runners generally always won because it was just strength and speed. Strength and Speed are now replaced by the arm of one single player.

Kenny is not dual threat like Manziel. He can maneuver but can't run like Manzel did.

QB throws well, A&M wins.

So OP worried about something and it didn't actuall happen. Why should this weekend be any different in your concerns?

I usually keep my predictions to myself, and then when the game is over and I'm right, I tell everybody about it.

Nope, 0-2 vs Sumlin just like Pig. Move along.

I was more worried about Arkansas, mostly because of their rushing game.

It's the SEC all of them are worrisome

If we can make good tackles on first contact, we'll win. We do not have a good track record of doing that, especially against big, mobile QBs like Prescott.

Both Arkysauce and hailstate have had trouble closing out games.

Agree with OP 100%

Our offense fell asleep during the second half of the Lamar game and woke up during the last quarter of the pig game. I think they thrive on pressure. Have faith!

I really don't see one game in the West that doesn't concern me so what exactly am I supposed to overly worried about?

Yes.

Before the Arky game, I thought we would lose to Ark and win this week.

Dak Presecott wasn't all that good last year. Has he really improved that much over the year?

If our passing game is what it was against Arky for most of that game, MSU wins by a score or 2. If our passing game is what it was against USCe, we win by 3 scores or more.

I was worried for Arky, not at all worried for MSU

This. He was decent last year but nothing too impressive, yet people are acting like he's a world beater now.

Yes, you are alone. Ags win it 38-21
