The CheckerBoard

Msu fan here, guys i See y'all are sayin we haven't played anyone which is true i totally agree. I will say this, in every game we have played we basically played everyone in the 3 deep depth chart. Against troy we played over 60 players and they had an offense that snapped the ball every 10 seconds it seemed. We have played alot of younger guys to get them experience for the 2nd half of the season. Hopefully it pays off. I think we will play mainly our starters against y'all. To the posters that think Tennessee will hit a few deep bombs, i don't think it will happen. In the last 3 years i believe we have given up the least amount of big plays in the nation. We just don't give them up. We will bring lots of pressure against Bray and force him to make bad decisions. If this game was at Tennessee i don't think we could beat y'all. Being the game is at Davis Wade Stadium its gonna be one hell of a game and the cowbells will be a big factor. I think its gonna be different than you guys think. I also think msu wins a close one
prediction msu 28 Tennessee 16

sorry, I can't predict this group...

will the first half at Akron or the 4th quarter Florida or the 1st and 4th quarter Georgia show up or the team that played Georgia in the two middle quarters? or Florida for 3 quarters???

If it is the first, they will lose and if it is the second they will win.

that is about as good as I can do.. this team doesn't change from game to game, they change from quarter to quarter.. the only consistent thing is poor defense and poor kicking..

i think even tho we scored 44 on uga there was more to it.. two extremely short fields and a pick 6 so really our defense got us some of those points.. yes i know they played bad tho

Miss St has only scored 30 once this year and won't do that to us. Our offensive line dominates and we jump out in front quickly, thus forcing them out if their game plan. Game over. 35-10 Big Orange.

We have done it 3 times and if you remember or if you didn't See the games we took a knee against auburn when we could have scored and took knees inside the Kentucky 2 yard line and could have scored 14 more against Kentucky. We have took our foot off the gas against every team we have played in the 2nd half of those games. No way Tennessee defense holds us to 10 points lol

I'm not going to try to predict a score or who will win as I believe it could go either way. That said, I'm fairly confident UT scores more than 16. Sadly, I could see UT giving up more than 28 though.

How good is your guys run D? All I ever hear about is the secondary. And do you think your D-line can handle our pretty damn good o-line? Not being a homer just curious.

there is a solid chance we pick tyler russell off several times.. that kid is over rated and always has been here are his stats against South Alabama...Russell 13/27 171 yds 0td 1 int granted im sure he has had better games this season but that is still TERRIBLE

Tennessee plays Bama next week. No knock on MSU, but Bama and Florida are pretty tough in the trenches.

That's not including USC who might have the most dominant player on defense right now.

Russell definitely had an off game against South Alabama, but even with that factored in he's as solid of a qb as MSU's ever had. State has never been and likely never will be QB U. This game will come down to wether or not Bray gets pressured, plain and simple. If he's pressured a lot we win, if he's not the Vols take it.

He barely gets touched. I don't think that will completely determine the game. I would say our running game is more important to help keep the State D honest. If I had to pick one thing determine this game it would be if Neal gets 100 UT wins.
