MSTSatchmo Posted Sunday at 04:58 AM Share Posted Sunday at 04:58 AM 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted Sunday at 07:01 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 07:01 PM (edited) 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.

Bulldogs4 Posted Sunday at 08:07 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:07 PM 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted Sunday at 08:41 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 08:41 PM 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted Sunday at 09:38 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:38 PM Kamario is not going anywhere. But people will talk. He is a State kid and I feel certain he is being well taken care of. If anything, State will be a desirable landing spot for players wanting to play with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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%.

Bulldogs4 Posted yesterday at 02:36 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:36 AM 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

David44 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago (edited) 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. Edited 14 hours ago by David44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there will be some hiccups, but my goodness, what a start for him and State. He will be a first round draft pick in 2028. Possibly a high first round draft pick. Potential is off the charts and he seems to have really developed as a passer in the offseason. He’s not going to dominate every game but he’s the kind of talent that gives State a chance just about any day. You feel like he’s good enough to will State to some wins by himself. Not unlike what Chambliss has done for OM at times. To put up that kind of performance in your first ever road start, against a decent team, was crazy impressive. I’m fascinated to see what he does this week against SC. If State wins again then the hype will be off the charts for those back to back home games against Mizzou and Bama.

pancho Posted 59 minutes ago Share Posted 59 minutes ago If State can surround him with a tough competent squad like what Auburn had around Cam Newton( only Fairley a DL off that team made an NFL roster) I think the next 2 years may be really fun to watch.

Dawg83 Posted 41 minutes ago Author Share Posted 41 minutes ago (edited) If State’s OL continues to perform then I think the offensive pieces this year are really strong. I think they’ve got legitimate depth at WR and RB that they haven’t had all that often. I think they’re good in the secondary, solid at LB (getting Tillman back should help), and just kinda OK on the DL. They’re gonna have some games where they give up a bunch of yards and points I fear. But Arnett so far has employed a bend but don’t break style and it’s worked. Certainly worked a lot better than whatever the heck Coleman Hutzler was trying to do. I also think it helps that State seems to have hit on more portal additions this year than the past couple of years.
