MAN, I really want to eat crow late Saturday night.

Miss State's quarterback (#7 Nick Fitzgerald) is a great one! He is 6'5" 230 lbs. He runs well and will pick you apart passing in short distances (10-20 yds) and just when you have the pass figured out he tucks the ball and runs. He's coming back from a broken leg. He gets lots of time to throw…We rush well. We'll see. The offensive and defensive lines have good reputations but I thought I saw Louisiana push them around a few times. We are bigger and stronger and I hope we can take advantage. #1 Guidry is a good one. He's a touchdown waiting to happen. State has two good running backs (#22 Aeris Williams & #8 Keytaon Thompson). Just when it looks like you have them stopped, they gash you. I saw them get stopped in the red zone…twice...they're not perfect.

On defense one of their cornerbacks was injured (#2 Peters). They are on their 5th defensive coordinator in 5 years. Sweat and Simmons are two defenders to watch (#9, #94). They got beat on a jet-sweep left.
Their punter is new.

I think UK can beat this team.

Love the break down. Thanks!

MSU's D line is really good. I imagine they will try to take away the run game and make UK beat them with the pass. The good news is their pass D and secondary in particular are suspect. I think tonight we learn a lot about Terry Wilson. I'm afraid the QB position makes the difference and Fitzgerald wins out.

MSU 35
UK 17

I worry about this team wearing down as Mississippi State is a physical team. I really think UK will be pumped up for this one and it will be rocking in Lexington.

UK 33
MSU 24

I hope our game winning FG at the end can be a little shorter this time than 2 yrs ago...

UK. 26

Play defense. Protect the ball...but get more receivers involved.

[Dwight Schrute]

We do better when I'm pessimistic. Also think Mississippi State is really good.

Dawgs - 35
Cats - 21

I was half right.

[DA#23]

I was half right.

I'm picking against the Cats for the rest of the season.

CATS about to go 4-0

UK.......28

Miss State....24

Well I got half right.....looks like I gave Miss State way too much credit

Like Matt, I predicted UK to lose to both Florida and Miss State. I don't know ow that I will predict them to win this year. Not superstitious, I just like gnawing crow.
