Greg Knox is Coaching the game. Team is Ready.....keep in mind they live off physical Defense and Running the ball. Frosh gets better every day he practices and had the support of Fitzgerald and team. But make no bones about it. The game plan will revolve around Time of Possession. If Miss St can keep it close they will grind the game just like they did against Alabama where a no huddle team huddled every down. But if they get behind they can run no huddle with their eyes closed. Should be an interesting 1st half chess match.
strangely the teams that have their best players sitting out because of upcoming draft (Texas, NC State) have been easy covers. Today Louisville's best pass rusher and best cornerback are skipping the bowl game. When Alexander's been in lineup he locks down one side of the field...his last 3 games allowed 4 catches for 20 yards.
seen it the other way too
Pitt destroyed Kentucky a few years ago as big dog in BBVA Compass. Wanny resigned, Phil Bennett was interim, new coaches everywhere and Pitt played their ass off for Bennett knowing it was his one shot to be a HC over these players who loved him.
Don't know how well liked Knox (today's HC) is at MSU but always the possibility they play really hard for him today as he's going to florida (likely) after this game
