lost 452 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I see ya Rat Poison!! But AFTER 23-9 last year, and the Tigers smelling blood and opportunity and Ms state standing in front of Florida----- Not good for the state fans. I am looking for an old fashioned spanking as this team starts clicking. Too bad the dogs had to land on this date. Being a Ms boy , i send my condolences and heating pad to all my family and friends in the Magnolia state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beenjammin 87 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 This is our annual Trap Game.. Wont ever forget the 3-2 victory with them and I hate to say it but .. Florida the week after looks even better with the back up QB. I hate that Franks got injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trask made a few nice throws but also two picks against a BAD Tennessee defense. It was an ugly game all around and Florida slept walked for much of it. I think his ceiling is better than Franks but it's not like when Tua or Trevor Lawrence came off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nix will get his timing down with Stove and Schwartz for a home run a piece. I see a 42-14 type game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be nice..hoping the Team isn’t thinking it’s a slam dunk or we could end up with last years Tennessee game again. We cannot let that happen.

We cannot let that happen. All MSU has is Kylin Hill. And yes he’s really good. Maybe the best RB in the SEC. He’ll prolly get his 100 yards & 1-2 scores. Our run D is good enough to hold him under his average tho. The big difference is our O is busting at the seams. At home under the night lights...I see blowout. Big coming out party for Nix. His dad’s big coming out party was 1994 MSU. We were only favored by 2.5 in that game. Won 42-18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss state's only loss was to KS State who is very good this year. I have not watched Miss State this year but I have looked at their stats and they seem to be improving. It also appears they just got a few very good defensive players back from suspension. That being said, if our defense actually shows up for this game (unlike the last time we played them) we should win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburntiger1987 759 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Miss state has looked pretty bad this year and that k state game should have been a beat down but some dumb ball security from k state let MSU back in it. I fully expect a 2-3td win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToraGirl 5,498 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Well, here is a thought. If you go to the MooState roster, you'll see their "professional" photos. But BEHIND them, not copyable or pastable (nor would I want to) are COUNTLESS pix of several ballplayers with their bellies showing. I mean, if they can't even dress themselves... Yep. Double-digits work for me. But JUST WIN, Auburn! ❤️ (And praise God for no cowbells!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerman1186 537 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Need to come ready to play....with a competitor at QB, I'm sure he'll be ready, which will parlay through the rest of the team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,910 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 28-27 Auburn, in large part b/c Malzahn will close the playbook again for this one. Which would have half this board screaming for the head of a 5-0 coach w/ 2 quality road wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU is not a team to sandbag. If he goes back to A-gap runs every 1st down and other predictability, they can easily beat us. Plus why show all the nuances against A&M and not try to perfect them? And Mullen isn’t allowed to watch the A&M tape? He sandbagged against Tulane and Kent St (minus the flea flicker). This isn’t a team to sandbag.

Barnacle 9,147 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Don't see this being a let down game. Offense is still hungry to improve and our defense is on a mission this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost 452 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I really don't know if some of these "prognosticators" have either : 1. not watched any of our games and ms state's games, OR 2. They just can't trust Gus/or just hope he loses ( They are for AU though)... HUMPH!! smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lala 327 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 This is where Gus has to grow. This is the annual Gus loses one he should not. We cannot have a let down and allow them to stay in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
