Regardless if it makes sense I saw a lot more defense from LSU rather than offense I think/I guess. But of course the score is almost five touchdowns to nothing

u/ScallywagBeowulf Mississippi State • Marching Band 1h ago
That wasn’t even just that. This team looked absolutely horrible today. We kept trying to go for it on fourth down instead of taking any sort of points, which could have made it respectable. If we ended up finishing 5-7, I really wouldn’t be surprised after how that game went.

I'm still on the train that were a top 10 team in the country that's too afraid to play like it. There's a great argument to be made that both losses are directly because of coaching mistakes
Ole miss first half had the complete wrong game plan and kiffin even took the blame for it and of we go for it on that 4th down last week we win even with all the other stuff around that game.
Lsu is one of the most talented teams in the country and they can hang and get in a dogfight with anybody we just haven't seen that kiffin is willing to lean into the dogfight

Him alone? Maybe. Him and Fluff? Absolutely. LSU was sold out on stopping the run, and Kamario is athletic enough to mask some of the deficiencies in our O Line.

It’s almost like it’s just like every other power conference, with a lot of good but very inconsistent teams. Yet for some reason an SEC loss is treated as a small drop down the rankings, but losing conference games in the Big 10 or Big 12 is grounds for dropping out entirely

I expected this when I saw Taylor and Fluff were gonna be out so I am not shocked at all.
I dont think Puckett looked too bad out there, he had some freshman mistakes for sure but he didnt have bad numbers. He got more comfortable as the game went on as did our rbs who showed flashes of potential towards the end there. I think they got some valuable snaps for the future in today even if the end results leave something to be desired.
Hopefully next week we can bounce back at home and maybe get some of our injured players back in action

Look, I get it. They are missing their star qb and rb. But that was beyond fucking pathetic. They gave up after the first quarter. Their players were more worried about flipping off the student section down 21-0. Mississippi state played like a team who gave not a single fuck about a single play.
4
u/yaboicyno Mississippi State Bulldogs 21m ago
That’s what’s the most frustrating. I had accepted we were going to lose, but you’ve still got to show up and play. The only guy who looked like he wanted to be there was the walk on QB and a little bit of the 4th string RB at the end. Not a confidence builder towards Lebby for me (there’s basically none to build on anyway).

I hate to see this for Mississippi State. I don't know if they need to recruit better or use the portal more, but you can't hinge your entire season on two players always being healthy and on their A game. Kamario Taylor and Fluff Bothwell are great players, but you need to have more than two capable guys on your roster if you want to win games.

u/FloodDawg Mississippi State • Memphis 16m ago
Even if the lines are the hardest positions to portal, in the current era, the lack of depth is an indictment on Lebby as a head coach. If he fired Hutzler after year 1, the defense would have more depth. That he hasn’t recruited or developed o-linemen is even more on Lebby
