Observation: This is all I know about our opponent this weekend.

Snaggletiger · « **Reply #203 on:** September 26, 2019, 12:01:20 PM »

On a more serious note, MSU is 3-1. Their team stats on offense are about the same as ours, but we're a good bit better rushing offense. Their two toughest opponents are Kansas State, who they lost to, and Kentucky, who they handled 28-13 last weekend. All of their games have been at home.

This is not one to look past. They beat our ass last year; however, this isn't close to the same team personnel wise. Our D has basically won 3 of the 4 games we've played because we're not exactly an offensive juggernaut at this point in the season. A 10 point win would make me moist.

I would Auburns defense are drooling to hurt him

Gus will take any kind of a win going into next week in Gainesville.

State has enough talent to put up some scores and enough defense to frustrate the fuck out of you.

Can see us getting a lead and letting our guard down to make it too close for comfort.

Interesting look at the role recruiting plays in getting to the top of the mountain. And, for Paul Chryst, how it doesn't even fucking matter.

Also, crazy to think that >50% of our scholarship roster were 4-5*.

The Badger's always think run first putting a premium on offensive linemen.(17)

Also, even after Aranda left they haven't had a drop off on defense.

Quite a coaching accomplishment to finish consistently strong every year with what is perceived as 3* talent.

For us, the one thing we can never fault Malzahn for is the level of recruiting. We have had years where you could look at every single position on both sides of the ball and point to the fact that we have a 4-5* guy playing. Talent-wise, we can match up with just about anybody. Obviously, there have been other "issues" that have kept us from consistently playing at the level we recruit at.

As for Wisconsin, this year may be a bit of an anomaly in that to this point, they are very balanced between running and passing. However, I think they have, in a weird way, been the beneficiary of not evolving with 90% of college football. They've traditionally developed very talented backs and had them punish people behind mammoth O-lines. It may seem simple, but I think most teams just don't have the capability of stuffing true, smash-mouth football. It does look like they're opening it up a bit more this year, though.

Check out this most memorable list of signal callers.

They have a four or five loss season every 5 years or so...much like us but they have over a 75% winning percentage the last ten years and I for one fucking hate playing them.

What I want is for us to snatch some of their drive blocking prospects out from under them. Same for any wishbone programs that consistently road grade opponents.

Btw, be on the look out for this State tight end, Geor'quarius Spivey.

With a name like that you have to become a badass or be a punching bag.

So this is the guy Derrick Brown and company need to swallow up to make the Bulldogs one dimensional and force throws against us. By the same token, we need to establish our own running game while gunning for the big payoff.

I saw a week or two ago that 247 has some kind of talent index for every team. Basically ranks their entire roster talent wise minus attrition. Auburn was around 8th or 9Th if I remember correct. We got talent. If Gus does nothing else right, the mfer could recruit.

wesfau2 · « **Reply #219 on:** September 29, 2019, 11:17:24 AM »

Are you not entertained? That was total domination from start to finish. I'm sure there are some minor things to quibble over, but MSU will still need a proctologist to remove Gus's footwear from their lower GI tract.

Gus is spouting some nonsense lately, though: â€œHe did a good job,â€ Malzahn said of Whitlow. â€œAnd we tried to give other people the ball â€”you saw running backsâ€¦. We tried to let some other running backs touch it. We understand the long-haul journey and the volume of hits and everything that goes with it with running backs.â€ Who is this guy wearing a visor on Auburn's sideline?

Clemson looked imminently beatable. I liked Mack's decision to go for two, but the play ran too wide and too far in reverse to be successful.

Otherwise, yesterday's slate was mostly yawn-inducing. Surprising the Arky/A&M game was the most dramatic.
