'25 Recruiting Forum: Official Mississippi State vs Tennessee Pre-game/Game Thread

VN needs to have someone at the press conferences to ask all of our questions. Like why Boo didn't start the game returning punts? Or what was up with the clock management? Or why do our WRs struggle to catch? Or why is our defense so inconsistent?

Let’s get @Freak a press pass and he can just read the, straight off the game thread!
 
The reason we had the ball with a chance to win was because MS State ran 13 seconds off the clock and punted. I can understand wanting to make sure you have the ball last in a 34-34 game.

The last two plays were unfortunate, but it's hard to criticize without seeing what was going on down field. You hit somebody for 20 instead of scrambling around and throwing it away it looks like masterful game management.
When you are 55 yards away from the goal line, you dont chew clock there. Now if we were in FG position already then I could understand. MSU only had 1 TO remaining.

My 2 thoughts:
1. Lebby is just as dangerous in short time as Heupel is. He wanted to make sure we had last possession.
2. Aguilar mismanaged the clock on 2 plays. Wasted like 20-30 seconds instead of throwing it away.
That's my interpretation. You've got three plays inside the 50 to get into field goal range, and you are guaranteed the ball last.

Didn't work out, but I would have traded the clock for that situation too.

Hard to criticize? Do you even VN?
