Week 2 Thread

Good win for State.  The OL looked good, defense was good against the run, RB looked good and Taylor looked really good throwing the ball.   The only concern was the pass rush.  After the half Minn started throwing more and State got no pressure on the QB.  Could have been the defensive play calling with the big lead.  Big game next week at SC.  
 

I was watching Texas/Ohio State, so I didn’t catch much of the OM game.  They did what they were supposed to do though and won easily.  They probably settled for to many FGs if you wanted to be picky, but who cares if they’re 2-0 and have their biggest game of the century coming up.  
 

The halftime LSU box score was wild.  LSU up 10-7.  Total offense was 280 yards vs 0 yards.  3 first half INTs for LSU.  If LSU plays like that next weekend they’ll get embarrassed.

1. Clemson saw a lot of new things from Kiffin & Weis and were severely unprepared 

 

2. Clemsons not a very good football team

 

3. Leavitt has always had a problem with

trying to be a superhero and turning it over

 

The Clemson game made LSU look like a force to be reckoned with. No doubt they’re talented with a top 5 roster. They’re still human though. Right now LSU is probably a td better than Ole Miss, but Leavitt can most definitely lose them that game Saturday

Hard to look at State’s performance so far and not feel like some games later in the season are more winnable than they first appeared.

 

Specifically thinking about that Oklahoma game in Starkville in late October. I am not sure I would want to play this State team if your offense isn’t very good. Ask Minnesota.

Overall, we appear to be a well coached team with some talent. If we stay healthy, I think we can be competitive in every game even though a few those games will obviously be losses. 
Confidence is also a part of the equation. It will be interesting to see how we respond if we have a bad start and get down early. With our offense, I think we will have the ability to come back if that happens. And it will. 
But until happens it will be a wait and see situation.

The talking point of “I hope State doesn’t lose Kamario in the portal” is already tiresome. It’s Week 2. What is the point of this? Enjoy what may be a really fun season while it’s going on, worry about next year next year.

 

And for what it’s worth, Kamario will probably be in Starkville next year anyway.

Let’s see how much this line changes the next 2.5 months

Has that changed any since the season started? I don’t remember what it started at.

 

FPI at the moment gives OM a 65% chance to win the Egg Bowl, but I think before the season that was like 85 or 90%.

Interesting that State-SCAR has moved up the totem pole of importance. Both teams will be looking to use this game as a springboard to success in the Conference. 

Hard to get a read on South Carolina. They might have played the weakest schedule in the country through two weeks. But weren’t very good a year ago. But have dominated said weak competition this year. Big ole shoulder shrug for me.

on the flip side, How good is Kamario Taylor? SEC final and College football final shows were raving about him.

Sunday morning.

It wasn't just that he was hitting open receivers, the passes were so spot-on, the receivers didn't even break stride.

His passing motion is effortless. Sure there will be some hiccups, but my goodness, what a start for him 

and State.
