All of what you say is true. But we have one road game every year where you can just throw the stats and averages out the window. We start out slowly and get into a sixty minute battle. Dont know why it happens but it does. Have to always be prepared for it. We weren’t last year against Arkansas.

I agree in some ways but I think Aguilar will play very well… he has that Cali cool demeanor and I don’t think the environment will rattle him… if we take that into account I think we win and cover relatively easy… heup respects lebby and won’t run it up but I still expect us to break 40 again…

Watched some of their highlights and State looks like a solid team.

I think they have some holes in their roster, but the QB can sling it and they play with pace like us. Our Defense will really be challenged.

I do think we have a very good opportunity against their defense. If we can execute at a similar level as we did against UGA, then we should outpace them, but I cannot shake the feeling it is going to be a shootout if our D gives up chunk throws.

A lot of “if” there. Agree that MSU is underrated and hungry. 1st road game and unfortunately CJH has a ‘flat’ game per year. Arky scares me as well……Taylon Green could be a Heisman candidate if on another team…..if UT comes out flat for either game, could be a problem. Hoping we are ready for these possible trap games. This is what makes the SEC so tough. Any given Saturday, a bottom 1/3 team can beat a top 20 team, especially considering where they fall on the schedule.

They don't have the horses we do. It'll look close for a half and we'll pull away. QB can sling it for exactly one read just like your name Sake OP. After that one read, he's going to hold it too long and Josephs will feast.

Unfortunately, college football not totally about the ‘horses’. UT had a lot more talent than Arky last year. Momentum and determination huge in college. Dealing with 1st road game/ cow-bell BS is an unknown for a young team. Hope I’m wrong…..could be a 48-45 game with the last team with the ball wins scenario

Arkansas is going to be a shootout. I am very glad we have them at home this year, because Taylon Green is playing high level football and daring defenses to try to stop him. The silver lining is their defense couldn't stop a runny nose.

Looking like KY may be our only easy SEC game this season. And looking at the future schedules that may be the case for the next few seasons. Stoops FB life will not be better going forward.

There are no easy SEC games, double that thought for SEC road games. We get our 50, I don't know what they get, Hopefully our defense will show up.

With our defense, every SEC game is going to be a shootout.

He’s fast af. He like singlehandedly won them the ASU game. Our safeties simply cannot get beat over the top by him at all costs.

I’m just going to say this! Lots of Debby doubters on here! Look I am not an expert on the X and Os of the game, but I do read a lot of books . The power of positive thinking, the art of the deal etc, etc . Those books teach you to go into any situation not with arrogance but with confidence! Yes I respect Mstate and they are a fine school , but Tennessee has a better football team period!! Tennessee by 10!!!

OK RickyVol77, knower of all - how many games in the last 20 years have the gators NOT given us fits???

The gator game, like all our remaining games, will be trench warfare till the final seconds. This is decreed by the Football Gods

This florida team is not those florida teams, and this Tennessee team is not those tennessee teams. Lagway is literally faking an injury not to play and possibly transfer and their team has quit already and they were already awful

Sh********t, we have heard for years and decades that this Florida team is NOT the florida team of the past yet, they still kick our arses up and down the field year after year. I just hate being too confident about any upcoming opponent - which makes sense, doesn't it? Its the ones we overlook that nip us, nip us in the bud, right????

The 8th Maxim should be “Do not let the Flo QB look like a Heisman candidate. Put him on the ground often”

Their defense looks pretty dialed in to me.
