Hey Guys,
Just a caution to anyone jumping on Miss St. I know they looked good last week against a team that has a potent offense, but remember, A&M has no defensive to speak of and Miss St has played either cupcakes or the bottom dwellers of the SEC so far.
Prescott is a beast, but the teams they have played aren't exactly great on defense. They will score points. The bigger issue I see is their scoring defense. Let's look at their games.
Southern Miss 49-0
UAB 47-34
S. Alabama 35-3
LSU 34-29
Texas A&M 48-31
Southern Miss is 116th in points scored and S. Alabama is 100th. So throw them out. That leaves 31 points a game Miss St gives up to decent opponents. If you want to call UAB and LSU decent. They've played one "real" team and A&M may not even be that. Look how they got to where they were last week. Pummeled a vastly overrated S. Carolina team, crushed three straight high school teams, then squeaked one out against Arkansas, at home, in OT!
AU is giving up 14.4 a game. Take out their cupcakes, and it's the same. That includes an LSU team that AU held to 7, while Miss St gave up 29 to them.
Another factor to keep in mind, AU has been in this situation before. Multiple times. This is all new to Miss St. They are riding high and setting themselves up for a huge letdown.
Miss St will score, I just don't see them scoring enough. Or at least, I think the probability that they score enough is low enough that I'd steer clear. Not saying play AU, though I am, just saying don't believe the hype and bet the farm on Miss St. Miss St is fool's gold I tell ya. They could still win, especially if AU plays as they did against K State (and has the same refs), but if AU plays as they did against LSU, it could get ugly.
