Posts: 1657 11/12/09 09:32 AM	Tags : None Dan ain't Crxxm. He knows the game of football can be a little more complicated than just "executing." Especially, when there is a talent gap. So with that in mind, what does Dan come up with this week to counter the Bama run defense? The thread about Dixon led me to think about this. I don't see us counter treying Bama into defeat like we did UK. Now, if we had not shown this play all year, I think it works well against Bama. However, they will be prepared for it. I really think with two weeks off, Dan is going to have something alittle more up his sleeve. I look for an emphasis on getting the ball out on the edges away from the teeth of that defense. Then when we have them flying out to the edges, a few counter treys to keep them guessing. I don't know. However, I do anticipate Dan coming up with something. I am just anxious to see what it is. I bet Bumphis gets a pass attempt. Also, I look for Relf to get a few more snaps running the option to keep Lee healthy.

Posts: 3680 11/12/09 09:44 AM	looking for a matchup advantage. I bet he's been face-handing a lot, because it's damn near impossible to find one. Maybe he can do something to put Bumphis in the middle of the field and create a mis-match. I'm guessing he wants to see Green matched up on their white bread LB who replaced Hightower. He's got to do something to stay out of 3rd and long, and he's got to keep them honest against the pass to give Dixon space. My co-worker's password has been good for me to read some bama premium articles. I read one yesterday that quoted Saban saying they are considering going to the nickel package and just staying in it all game since they are about to face three spread teams and need to get ready. That tells me Saban thinks his front four plus McClain can handle our OL and keep Dixon in check. Actually, I can't wait to see what Mullen tries to do to counter their speed and toughness.

That is just not going to happen with UAt. As previously mentioned they will stack the pass and make miniLee pass the ball. Hopefully Mullen has come up with some type of deep ball to neonleon or Wilder just to keep them honest. Would not be surprised the see the halfback pass that Bumphis floated earlier this yr. Mullen knows that we have nothing to lose. Leave it all on the field. GO STATE!

But he probably does feel that his 3 plus a backer or 2 can. /Bama doesn't run a 4 man front, unless you are counting Cody as two, which could actually be a legitimate argument.

Posts: 14900 11/12/09 10:19 AM Like Chevy Chase, the Caddyshack II version	Scott had 83 yards on only 13 carries vs the Bammer defense, and i'm told here on the Pack daily that Dixon is better than Scott, then Mullen will obviously find a way for Dixon to hit the edges for some big runs. There is no room to run inside between the guards We'll have a great plan along with some trick plays...we just have to complete some passes to back them off a little "November and December isn't exhibition season," Slive said Stansbury is 17-44 against the top 25, and 51-82 overall against the top 50...I rest my case (numbers compliments of ScoobaDawg) "The best proven coordinator out there from a big school and the best head coach from a non-BCS program would not give MSU the time of day." - Willie Cunningham...a k a Ol Blew...a k a irsdawg" - October 22nd, 2008

Posts: 179 11/12/09 10:21 AM	I think Marcus Green will have a career day. With Bama's stiff run defense and so much focus on Dixon I expect to see them try to exploit the linebakcer matchup Shmuley mentioned by hitting Green in stride. Kid is a heck of a player and can really get some YAC. Between him and Bumphis I think we can force them to drop soem guys back into coverage enough to give AD some breathing room at the line. My 2 cents.

Posts: 507 11/12/09 10:27 AM SEC Draft Commissioner	With as physical as Bamas defense like to be in their front 7, I can see that PA pass to Green over the top that we've run a few times working in this game. Wilder is a legit deep threat, and I think if we can ge the safeties to back off enough, it might leave a few gaps in between the 4 linebackers and the safeties for Lee to drop a couple in for Green. We've hit it a few times this year, and with some of the blitz schemes that Bama runs with the LBs, calling that play at the right time could really move the chains for us. I also think we need to go back to those little Bumphis screens and get the defense going one way, setting up the cut back, or a delayed draw off of that play the other way. The way to beat speed is to get them to overpursue, so any way we can do that needs to be utilized.

Posts: 2134 11/12/09 10:27 AM	...involve the TE as much as possible. Tie up their linebackers in coverage. Cross your fingers. Pray. On defense.. Stop what you can. Ingram. We don't match up with Julio Jones anyway, so force them to throw the ball. Take away the run as much as you can.

Posts: 1560 11/12/09 10:32 AM	don't let those big bodies get any breathers. Make them run to the edges with a lot of screens and outside runs. They will wear down eventually. BTO bet Saddawg $20 to the SPS chest that Ole Miss wins the SECW this year like State did in 98, not like OM did in 2003.

Posts: 304 11/12/09 10:36 AM	Atleast LSU has a quarterback that can keep Alabama honest in the passing game unlike us. I don't expect Dixon to be as fortunate as Scott was in the yards per carry stat but we will still attempt to punch them in the mouth and I look forward to seeing Dixon walk off the field Saturday night without a season ending injury. But like you said I do think Mullen will have a great plan along with some trickery. Lets all just hope it doesn't implode on us. "Of course I can have an intelligent conversation about MSU Ole Miss. I think/hope we'll play better in November like we did last year. MSU has two (in my mind) completely unwinnable games in the next two weeks. Bama is a guarenteed loss despite the unbelievable optimism from state fans. There's just no way you're going to upset them. Arkansas may be your teams worst matchup on your whole schedule. Mallet's going to have 250 at halftime. I'd take Ark -17 in that game. If I'm wrong I'll admit it. That leaves the egg bowl. Who knows. I know we've played a whole lot worse this year than I thought we would. I still feel confident we'll be state this year. So that is my prediction. You lose out. That would leave you at 2-6 and for sure in last place. It's a PREDICTION. If I'm wrong I'll obviously admit it. It's good that everyone in Starkville is having fun again. Nobody should not enjoy college football. The problem I see is guys like you not being able to handle others not agreeing that State is "back". You also can't make a retort as to why you don't suck without referencing Ole Miss' season." - DiamondReb --- http://nafoom.yuku.com/sreply/180717 madison eagle and his thoughts on USM's football stadium "madison eagle.u says: its micer than nfl stadiums ive been to" "I let the class know we have one year to sign a better class next year than we did this year. Because we don't want to stay the same, we want to continue to improve here." - Dan Mullen

Posts: 3521 11/12/09 10:45 AM One Call, That's All	I'm guessing he wants to see Green matched up on their white bread LB who replaced Hightower. lsu had some success with their TE (not dickson), who was a converted receiver. green is more athletic than your average TE, and hopefully will be the mismatch we're looking for. of course, that means more of tyson lee passing over the middle, so we'll have to keep our fingers crossed there. if they stack the box, i think we'll go with more swing passes to AD to get him the ball hopefully in space, with corners and safeties trying to tackle him instead of DL and LBs. their speed will make that tough, but i expect we'll need to do some of that to keep them honest in the box.
