Dawg83 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 (edited) Ole Miss -7 at Arkansas - have said for years that this is one of my favorite games every year because never know what shenanigans are going to go down. I had this circled as a potential weird game for OM early on and still believe that. I think it being an early kickoff benefits OM. I have this going down to the wire but I trust Kiffin more than Pittman. OM 27, Arkansas 24. And I expect it end in some weird way like it has so many times before. UMass at State -18 - can State’s defense play well enough to beat a 2-6 UMass? If not then fire the whole defensive staff on the spot. I think the spread is about right, I have State winning 42-24. Vandy at Auburn -7 - I am shocked by this line. I have Vandy winning outright and think they are clearly the better team. Florida vs Georgia -16.5 - I think UGA wins but I have UF covering here… I actually think UF is a pretty solid team that has an upset in them somewhere this season… Texas A&M -2.5 at South Carolina - night game in Columbia, I like SC here. Feels like a huge trap game for A&M. Kentucky at Tennessee -16.5 - I think UT rolls. Kentucky’s collapse is one of the more underrated surprises of the season for me. They’re likely missing a bowl game this year for the first time in 8 years. And if not for the OM win would be 2-6 right now. Ohio State -3.5 at Penn State. Huge game in the B1G, but I feel like Penn State always loses in this kind of spot. I’m going with the Buckeyes to win and cover.

maroontide06 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Here's what I don't understand. How does beating UMASS make a dang difference? If you beat them the defensive coaching staff is safe, but if you lose they're toast. There needs to be wholesale changes on that side of the ball regardless of the UMASS outcome.

I agree and think you maybe should’ve canned Hutzler after this last debacle. I don’t even see how you let him finish the year if UMass is torching you too. UCF and West Virginia just fired their DC midseason, so there’s definitely precedent. There is not a compelling case for this defensive staff returning for 2025. State has to have a major shakeup on that side of the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWammies Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 I’ve seen so many mentions in other places that the OM/Arky game favors Arky since 70% chance of rain all day and should be a running type of game. I’ll take OM’s loaded box on defense to stop the run against Arky. Any game where I don’t have to worry about our secondary is a good game to me. I hope OM keeps up with using the TE like last week. I see a 27-24 type game too or 24-21. I’m not picking who wins though. Don’t wanna jinx it. Give me State to break the losing streak and win by 20+. I took Auburn last week and sticking with them this week at home. Auburn 28 Vandy 17 Florida has been starting to look like a better team than early on but I still think they drop this one. My question is which Georgia team shows up? Is it the first half of the Texas game/2nd half Bama or the one that seems like it’s been sleepwalking through most of the season? Close game early but give me Georgia 35 Florida 17 A&M can’t surprise USC with Reed at QB and USC has a defensive front that could make things hard on him to where they bring Weigman back in for a passing game. Being at night makes me give the slight edge to USC. I’m going with USC 30-27. Kentucky…Goodness gracious I hate Kentucky. Tennessee by 50. Penn St is the most fraudulent playoff top five team there could possibly be going against an Ohio St team coming off a struggle win last week. Give me Ohio St routing Penn St 38-17.

I don’t know if this is infuriating or not, but why has the AD been dead silent? Is he afraid to make a public statement in regards to the football team, or are his priorities elsewhere?

Is he afraid to make a public statement in regards to the football team, or are his priorities elsewhere? What purpose would the AD publicly speaking on this matter accomplish? It is evident that we are poor on defense. And 83 noted that back in the spring. The roster was gutted after last year especially on that side of the LOS. It is easy to blame the coaching staff as they are ultimately responsible. But until and hopefully this will start to get corrected with this recruiting/transfer cycle, we get SEC caliber players, it will not matter who the Defensive coaches are. We knew coming into the season that to win games we would have to outscore teams. Obviously we have failed to just that, to this point. The effort of the team has been a plus and hopefully we can win Saturday and maybe steal a win over the next three games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some interviews released last night that he did with Paul Jones and Steve Robertson and they went over like a fart in church. I actually thought he did a very poor job of selling hope to the fan base and most people that have read those Q&A’s were not at all a fan of what he had to say. State fans are tired of being told what they can’t do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg83 Posted Saturday at 05:51 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 05:51 PM OM is crushing Arkansas. This has looked like the version of OM their fans were hoping for all offseason. Makes the UGA game more interesting, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWammies Posted Saturday at 06:07 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:07 PM Since 2nd half of last week, Dart is using the short 5/10 yarders to the TE instead of forcing the deep pass and today it’s opened up 2 bombs to Watkins. Plus doing this without Harris. This is also the Watkins I’ve been waiting to see. Still a whole half left to play. Need to step on their throats instead of be conservative. That’s defensively as well. Keep putting pressure on Green especially since he’s playing on a bad leg and not as mobile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted Saturday at 06:21 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 06:21 PM Don’t get me wrong the OM defense is good but this is further embarrassment on State giving up 58 to Arkansas. Made a so-so offense look like the Greatest Show on Turf era Rams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWammies Posted Saturday at 06:36 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:36 PM Glad the offense came alive because Dart and Prieskorn was being given hell on X because a pic surfaced of them two taking Caden’s kids out trick or treating Thursday night. Folks saying this team not taking the season serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSTSatchmo Posted Saturday at 06:44 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:44 PM Dart is at 500 yards passing with a whole quarter left. I can see Kiffin letting him set a record. The whole Halloween thing was people being idiots. It’s not like they were walking the streets at 2am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoWammies Posted Saturday at 06:55 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:55 PM This is what I’ve been waiting on all year. Coming into the year even with Tre, I thought Jordan would be near a 1,000 yard receiver. This game puts him at just 550. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSTSatchmo Posted Saturday at 08:07 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:07 PM I expect OM to beat Georgia, then lose to Florida. Seriously though, that is what was expected of the offense all season. Two loses at this point is disappointing, but they can salvage the season by winning out and making the playoffs. The playoff projections on ESPN have gone from 5 SEC teams in to just three by most analyst and a few have 4 in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWammies Posted Saturday at 08:14 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:14 PM Possible upset in the making with Mich St up 10-0 on Indiana at the end of the 1Q. Not SEC but these are the kind of games Ole Miss needs to happen so more at large spots get a little bit closer to getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWammies Posted Saturday at 09:07 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:07 PM DJ Lagway going down for Florida is big for not just today but rest of the year if a serious injury. Without him I don’t see them being able to finish this upset chance of Georgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted Saturday at 09:39 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 09:39 PM UMass jumped up 10-0 on State and it seemed like Toledo part two for a quarter. But 21 unanswered for State now. We shall see if they hold on. Hardly a super inspiring performance so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebmus Posted Saturday at 10:43 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:43 PM The Ole Miss play has been VERY impressive the past 6 quarters, especially without Tre Harris. What's the biggest surprise so far this season? (For obvious opposite reasons) 1. How bad Kentucky is? 2. How good Vandy is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
