Take a picture of the teef she knocks out.

That didn't happen, and I gotta go

Somehow, South Carolina out Tennessee’d Tennessee. They out Dooley’d us.

Thank goodness we aren't Free Shoes University.

Or LSU.

7 in a row.

7 in a row.

Longest power 5 win streak in the nation.

I haven't confirmed, but I saw someone said Notre Dame was at 8.

Screw ND.

 

[Behr]

Agreed.

A lot of posters all over the Pirate's jock strap this morning due to their big win in Baton Rouge yesterday. Honestly, who didn't see that coming? HellsBells! LSU lost a good chunk of their skill players at the end of last season, so picking MSU to win was no big leap.

Longest in duration. Notre Dame lost Oct 26, 2019, Tennessee’s last loss was Oct 19, 2019.
but yea, ND has more wins in that span since they started earlier

Anybody winning AT LSU is a big deal. Mississippi St doing it with over 600 passing yards is a huge deal

 

[malinoisvol]

O! And Notre Dame can blow me.

I am glad MSU beat them. Now, when the A team goes down, I will be super gladder!

A lot of belly aching going on about JG who made good decisions and had a pretty good stat line. Had the fourth best passer rating in the sec this week.
Sure he made a few bad throws, but what quarterback don't? He was under pressure on a few of those bad throws and the receivers didn't exactly bail him out on some catchable bad throws.

 

[malinoisvol]

MSU will/should be 3-0 going into week 4. After week 3, the games get interesting.

 

[NorCalVol67]

'Plenty of blame to go around'

People in the FF are stupid.

 

[BigO95]

They played well considering the practice they had or lack thereof.

People are ignoring the lack of practice time. This was the only college game I have watched, but I have caught some NFL and there has been plenty of bad football played.

I chalk up the first game of every season as a "rust" removal game.

 

[BigO95]

I think they will get a lot of it cleaned up in a few weeks and will be pretty good. The receivers need to improve and the front seven has some work to do but I think they will be fine. I really liked the jumbo package when they lined up and decided to run the ball. I believe they should do that more.

 

[volfanbill]

Too lazy to look it up, but I’d like to see a chart of JG’s passes. Lots of dink and dunk stuff worked for plenty YAC and he should get credited for good decision making there, but way too many poor throws on the down the field attempts to open receivers.

Did you listen to Pruitt's interview after the game?

yep and the lack spring practices means Bailey doesnt have a chance to start unless JG gets injured or just totally loses team

 

[volfanbill]

Did you listen to Pruitt's interview after the game?

after seeing you post this, I went back and have started listening. Sounds like Pruitt agrees with me. I get it, it's the first game after little practice, but more than just high throws, it's the fact that JG doesn't have consistent "touch". Maybe that's kind of like trying to say someone has the "clutch gene" or whatever, but Casey Clausen had a remarkable knack to know exactly where and how to place the ball. He knew when to fire a rocket, he knew when to (and more importantly which shoulder to) drop a fade in over a receiver, when to hit a receiver in stride, etc. JG hasn't shown it ever, other than in flashes. It was my knock on Dobbs too. He fired cruise missiles every opportunity he had. Maybe it's technique on JG's part. Getting his feet set when he's moving or something, I don't know. But hopefully he can sort it out. Like TFG said above, Bailey hasn't had the chance to find the timing with these new receivers either, so we are where we are.

On a different note, and I think this is very key, Pruitt seems to have calmed down. He's embraced his role as HC and understands he has to have quality relationships with the players aside from just being a teacher of the game. I think this will be HUGE when it comes to team chemistry, trust and future recruiting.
