Another game, another data point. Our understanding of this team is slowly taking shape. Unfortunately tonights data point shows a team that needs top 5 defense to contend against a bad team... and didn’t get it when it mattered most.
One thing I missed in writing up of the Arkansas game is that SECCountry had State at number five in their latest power rankings. It’s nice to know somebody outside the MSU family believes. In that same ranking they had Arkansas at two and ole miss at twelve. This was after the Rebels took down Carolina in the conference opener but before Georgia handled them easily in Athens.
