I have mixed feelings on those two not playing in the bowl games!
Hope Lamar nor Jaire play in this game.
Can't understand why I'm not excited about this game. Warm weather, nice location, and big bowl. Just not too excited about it. Why?
Explain what playing those teams would have meant?Theyre playing a team in transition who lost their coaching staff.
Had it been Scar or Zona or Stanford then it would have meant something.
Completely agree. Last thing in the world that should happen is either of those guys getting hurt. Plus, would be great for Pass to get all of those reps - Bama will be here before you know it.Hope Lamar nor Jaire play in this game.
I have watched Miss State, talented team but not sure they can overcome losing so much of their coaching staff.Nice. A warm weather Bowl location. Against a team that has lost its coach, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator (some dude named Grantham), offensive line coach, WR coach and starting QB.
There are no similarities to last year. We limped into the end of the season with a ton of injuries, and our offensive line still sucked. We just had no answers for LSU's defense.This bowl game setting up eerily similar to last year. Facing a 8-4 SEC team in a Florida bowl game who's recently had some tumult with their HC.
If our defense shows up, we will beat Mississippi State. Here is thier 2017 schedule:
Sat, Oct 21 vs Kentucky W 45-7
5-2 (2-2)
TAXSLAYER BOWL
Sat, Dec 30 vs Louisville*
12:00 PM ET
Joe Moorhead, former OC for Penn State. Has impressive credentials although I did not know much about him. Gets a lot of credit for reviving PSU offense.I have looked all over to see who is going to coach MSU but can't find anything. Why wouldn't the coordinators stay until the bowl game and coach? Isn't that what typically happens in this scenario? Maybe Mullen wants them out on the recruiting trail right away and not wasting time on the former gig.
MSU has beaten some good teams, we haven't beaten any good teams. They lost their coach, and we finished strong (albeit against bad teams). Who is the best team that we have beat? Virginia?

Ron English (yes, that Ron English) is still on staff although he was in charge of safeties.
He is NOT. The interim head coach for the bowl game is Greg Knox, the running backs coach and special teams coordinator. I believe he will head off to Florida after the bowl game. Moorehead will be around for practice to evaluate talent for the future, but he will not be involved in coaching the bowl game.Moorehead is going to coach their bowl game?

I think it has more similarities to our Bowl game in 2015 against Texas A&M. SEC West team tailing off from what was a promising season and starting a backup QB.This bowl game setting up eerily similar to last year. Facing a 8-4 SEC team in a Florida bowl game who's recently had some tumult with their HC.
MSU fan here. We have NO idea what to expect from the team in Jacksonville. Our backup QB is a legit talent, but a true freshman. He had TO problems against Ole Miss, which is why we ended up losing that game. He is listed at 6'4" and 222 lbs, but he is probably 235'ish or so these days. He is a good runner, he is paired with a couple of good backs, and they have a good OL to run behind.
I would look for us to run 65% of the time. We had 62 rushes on 94 plays against Ole Miss. We dominated yards, first downs (27 to 11), and time of possession, but the 5 turnovers just killed us. Ole Miss is not a good team, but they can score on anyone, and we just couldn't afford to come up empty on 5 trips into their territory like we did. If Fitz didn't break his leg at the start of the game, I think we would have won that one easily.
I don't like our coaching situation. We will have GA's handling a lot of duties. This game could get ugly just due to inexperience.
Dogs will dominate both lines of scrimmage. Won't be much of a contest.MSU fan here. We have NO idea what to expect from the team in Jacksonville.

Nah, you’re thinking of the 45-7 MSU beatdown of the UKay Slapd!cks.Dogs will dominate both lines of scrimmage. Won't be much of a contest.
I have a hard time believing it won’t be much of a contest. It seemed like a pretty even match up going in and MSU is without their HC, DC, and OC and starting QB. They’ve only lost to elite teams excluding, Ole Miss, who was about as good as BC this year. So they appear to be a good squad. The margin of victory over common opponent UK was about 10-12 points greater, but UL played in Lexington. Seems like an even match up.Dogs will dominate both lines of scrimmage.

Win or lose, the two teams can share ‘Slapd!ck’ jokes after the game.The margin of victory over common opponent UK was about 10-12 points greater, but UL played in Lexington. Seems like an even match up.
Awwwwwww, that’s precious... Precious.Motivation will be on your side again, another power 5 school that was desperate for a coach and wouldn't offer Bob.
