Predictions: Miss St vs Auburn

Msu really has no weaknesses this year that I've seen. More than that, I see strengths all over the place. That qb is a Manamal. He has to be nice to have back there on a 3rd and short.

Other than calling fake punts inside their own 20 when they're leading.

Everything has come together for that team this year. They lose a lot of key guys after this season.

I haven't really kept up with their recruiting to see if they can fill the holes left after this year. But I imagine it's easier to restock the cupboard when it's not as bare as ours was. I'm envious of a lot of the sec teams that just need to get a guy here and get another one for there each year. I think we will be at that point probably in 2016.

What a joke of a post.

State has a better defense? They've given up 29 points or more to every team they've played that wasn't a complete joke. That includes giving up 34 points to freaking UAB. That also includes getting torn to shreds by LSU true freshman QB Brandon Harris...the same kid that Auburn dismantled last week, after he was named the starter because of what he did to MSU. If you want to look at just the raw numbers; Auburn has a better defense...period. 9th in scoring defense versus 22nd. 14th in total defense versus 84th. Better pass efficiency defense. The only metric that MSU ranks higher in is run defense, and there you're looking at barely any difference (11th versus 13th). While their run defense is very good, it is inflated because their pass defense is average and thus teams look to throw it at them which limits rush attempts.

You say that MSU has "easily" been the most impressive team in the SEC? Auburn has the highest margin of victory in the conference.

MSU is a very good team this year and this will be a hard matchup with them being at home, but give me a break with this "analysis" that you guys are throwing out. Auburn is the more talented team, they're also the more proven team and the team that has a better understanding of how to win. Malzahn is also a better coach than Mullen. What some of you don't understand is that Malzahn sandbags early in the season and uses those cup-cake games as practices essentially, which is why his teams tend to suddenly look stronger as the year goes on and the competition improves: he starts opening things up instead of running vanilla schemes. The exact same thing happened last year.

Needs to be bumped again. LOL.

Take your analysis and go back to a AU board.
