Anyone else got a good feeling we will win?

To be fair, we’re 111th in TOP. A testament to our defense’s inability to get off the field. Hard for the offense to score points when they don’t have the ball.
TOP is a pretty meaningless stat for an offense that snaps the ball as quickly as we do. We're 7th in the SEC in total plays run.

I think we win, or at the least are in it until the end.

I'm taking State +7 and putting some cheddar on the money line at State +220 ($10 wagered wins $22 - the $10 you wagered is included in that $22).

The O/U is 55.5, lately their Offense has struggled, but their D is stout, I'm staying away from the O/U.

Good teams win, great teams cover.
You still have that feeling Greenbean?

Yes I do.

Why we lay an egg against the weaker opponents and play the top teams in the country close, I have no idea.
Weaker teams, top teams, we are still 1-7 regardless. Our 1 win is against a 4-4 team from the United Athletic Conference (which I had never heard of until just now) with their other losses to Southern Utah, Abilene Christian and W KY.

AZ St is 5-2 in the Big 12 Toledo 5-3. We don't beat either one of them if we played again now with our defense. We might have enough athletes to beat one of the worst teams in the country the past decade this weekend but reality will return the following week against TN

How do you explain playing TAMU so close? We dropped two pick 6s and Lebby ran the worst fake punt I've ever seen. Played UGA tight too and Texas. If we play Az St or Toledo like we played UGA, TAMU and Texas and we wipe the floor with them.

UMass is -18 at my book. I'm going to have to study on it.

I have not bet all season, but I am betting against us, Massachusetts, to cover.
It’s a good bet. Umass will come in hungry with high hopes of getting a needed program victory.

But we didn't intercept two, but we didn't make the fake punt. We don't tackle, we don't block. "If we play Az or Toledo", but we did and SUCKED, Toledo beat us like a drum by 24 and it was early in their season too. We've had 8 opportunities and only made good on 1. I want us to be good, I want us to win, but we aren't good and don't win. If we don't beat this bunch Saturday our program is at an all time low. If we barely beat them, we are still close if not there.

If 'ifs and buts' were candy and nuts we'd all have a merrier Christmas in Starkville

Remember Az and Toledo both left quite a few points on the field also. The results should have been worse than displayed.

I believe Jefferson threw that game for whatever reason. Don't know if he was paid or if he was mad at someone on the coaching staff. If he played a half of football they would have won last year.
He definitely didn’t seem himself that game, seems like many thought he was not 100%. Weird win for us that game was.

You can call it 6th but w/ several ties above us in several categories, 11 teams have scored more TD's than us.
13 teams above us in scoring offense.
11 above us in total yards
13 above us in points scored kicking
12 above us in total yards per play
15th in rushing yards, etc etc etc
Last in total defense and scoring defense
