What other message boards are saying (Miss State post game)

[SpookyAction]

I didn't know MSU had that many miserable ppl still following the Bulldogs

They're salty because they don't have many reasons to shake those cursed cowbells this season.

“Tennessee plays awful dirty and gets zero flags” bro what

I laughed at that too. We had one player get a 15 harder twice.

I'm not sure why they are so down on that team tbh. I thought they played way above their talent level and expectations.

 

[SpookyAction]

Telander and Arion Carter are the starters, with Jalen Smith and Kalib Perry. Smith is more of a running down guy, Perry being more of a passing down guy. Perry is the oldest guy of the bunch, but played sparingly his first two years and even this year. Everyone else is just a sophomore or RS freshman.

Also, last night I saw us go into the dime package, aka having 6 DBs and 1 MLB on the field a decent amount. We haven't really done that much all year, and possibly could have contributed to some of those runs being ripped off.

Nice to look at the defense and NOT wonder why 4-star recruits just disappear after joining the roster. This coaching staff is developing players at both the top and bottom of the depth chart.

They embarrassed our defensive tackles most of the night. We could not stop that run up the middle.

Clueless

Clueless

Clueless is not recognizing that our linebackers have to cover the motion in our system and the tackles have to clog the middle. The next level of defense are the safeties.

-I still don’t understand how Tennessee is this good, they are a middle of the pack team at best.

Really dumb comment

Honestly it was probably a Vol fan after one incomplete pass. I see the same thing posted on here by a few every week.

Nahhh it was more LBs and than the DTs. Our Lb play was not there last night

LBs struggled for sure. On those runs up the middle, they were out of position. Misread where the hole was going to be.

Part of that is we had them cover more gaps last night to keep coverage against the wide receivers. It was harder job than usual, they didn't always step up to the challenge, but it was more than enough to get the job done, with MSU only having 2 successful drives.

 

[Volanta]

They weren’t that bad lol

They really weren’t. They actually looker very competitive. It’s a tough league and a weird season where anyone can get caught any Saturday. Geez these folks are miserable.

For sure. We’ll take 14 points any time.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Okay and. What’s the record?

8-1. Does that change the fact that our offense is not good?

 

[DenVol]

-We just laid there and took that one

-This team has quit on Lebby

-I still don’t understand how Tennessee is this good, they are a middle of the pack team at best.

-Well the refs didn’t really help us out tonight

-Look at the bright side, Tennessee was allowing 12 PPG coming into tonight. We scored 14.

-Y’all think Van Buren is the future

-That Tennessee defensive line is no joke. Van Buren was running for his life all night.

-We are officially in hell as a program

-I felt like Croom was back on the sideline tonight

-Tennessee plays awful dirty and gets zero flags

-Yeah so Lebby isn’t the guy

-Tennessee just played with us like a dog does with a toy.

-We were never going to win this game and Tennessee knew it. They did the bare minimum and got the win.

-How many more games we got?

-Do we have to play the last games?

-We are a really really really bad football team and everyone we play knows it.

-Tennessee could’ve played their second string and still whipped us.

-Tonight’s effort was completely abysmal

-Tennessee is a physical football team. We are not.

The one about getting zero flags is hilarious. We are the most penalized team in the conference. Clown

 

[Dirtyhairies]

We’re the most penalized team in the conference it seems.

We literally are. 118th in the country i think.

 

[adam.vol]

Every week you can count on someone saying “TN sucks, but they kicked our asses!”

That's been their season - look competitive against some good teams, but always come up well short in the end. They've certainly gotten better as the season has gone along, but they are still probably looking at a 2-10 or maybe 3-9 season (if they are lucky and can beat Mizzou).

I'm glad we got them this year rather than a few seasons from now after Lebby has built them up some.
