I mean
People are allowed to be pissed about the defense
Yes it did great things but it also gave up rushing yards and tds to an inferior opponent
It’s a mixed bag
If the offense isn’t scoring and we’re not playing MSU I’m afraid we get smoked

That defense was put in impossible positions most of the night.

I also don't think we're giving MSU enough credit. They played like a good team.

Rushing defense was a bit of a concern, but Shapen had like 100 yards passing into the 4th quarter. If we don’t give them 3 short fields with 3 turnovers, it’s probably a regulation win.

I saw it mentioned he has to get his strength up to return to playing so it sounds like he's at least close to being back but I would see what LWS said. He's way more clued-in.

20-17 in 3rd big pass play to MM and the next play we see why Lewis is the 3rd RB. He just absolutely gave up on his block and Joey gets sacked next play 2nd & 17 Miles tips up a catchable ball and MSU gets the pick then scores to make it 24-20.

Next drive they take away a deep TD for Brazzell on a BS OPI call.

Must be how my brain works. But, that bogus PI is one of the main things stuck in my head about the game.

Bama played tonight, play vandy next week, then @ mizz the following week before we play them. they could be really beat up even more and possibly another loss before out matchup

Not sure those teams will physically beat them up, they are no doubt in store for some dog fights. They should be pretty drained by the time we see them.

That 2nd INT Miles let that ball go right through his hands and off his helmet...talk about a rough day. Miles and Staley might have been the worst days of anyone on the field. Goodness. Every time we had the chance to take over and really separate just huge mistakes.

Ball wasn't even tipped, defender did grab his right arm (left in image) which is part of why he didn't have both hands up to catch it. Of course it wasn't called, but real time it was so fast would've been really hard to get that call I think.

Imagine what it would have been like without MK.

So I know a lot of people in our fan base are consoling State fans and saying they have a good team…..I am not so sure. I think they finish 6-6. So this would’ve been an embarrassing loss to look back on.

People that put their money where their mouth is said it was a 7.5 pt spread. Well, we won by 7.

And that was with a list of freakish plays. 2 tip drill TOs, a muffed punt, and a stolen TD by the zebras.

Tennessee, Ole Miss, Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M

Only 4 will get in. Who will it be?
Click to expand...
Alabama currently has the best odds. Ole Miss behind them. Then tamu & uga. We're at 30%. Vandy is actually at 42% and Mizzou is ahead of us right now.

Lot of ball left to play, just focus on ourselves. We know we have 1 loss left we can take. Given how our schedule appears vs these teams, I'd say we're not one of the teams that could get in with 3 losses. 100% have to steal one @bama/UF for the first time in decades if we want to make it.

Most vital thing rn is defense getting and staying healthy.

You sure only 4 this year? There’s a real shot no ND or PSU I think.

4 is max. 3 is likely too.

B1G will get Oregon, OSU, PSU, maybe IU, UM, a slim shot.

Miami, FSU, GT?

A G5 or 2.

A lot left to shake out. Can't imagine 5 from 1 conference though, just based on cannibalism and W/L taking voter precedence over power rankings.
