An SEC team vs. an ACC team with major revenge?? Miss State lost @ Georgia Tech last year 38-7, as it was Miss State's first look at this triple option offense and they just got shredded on the ground last year. This reminds me like the Miami match up where I was on Georgia Tech and I have learned my lesson already. Miami had lost the previous year @ Georgia Tech and got beat by the running game. They came up with a big defensive effort by stopping Dwyer up the middle and limiting the yards on the outside with their fast LB. They were home in this match up, but they beat up on Georgia Tech with a 33-17 win after losing 23-41 the previous year. Same situation for Miss. State this week as they have the tape from last year with a new coaching staff in place and the players to make the stops on defense.

Miss State has been stout on their run defense. LSU could not run up the middle or outside against the Bulldogs, and Vanderbilt had the same problems. In their last 2 games against Vandy and LSU two big programs out of the SEC they gave up 63 rushing yards on 60 carries. This is the way you beat Georgia Tech. Force Nesbit to throw and even though they have a top tier WR with some length in Thomas I believe in the SEC over ACC opponents. The fact that we catch points here at home in my opinion is a major advantage. Oddsmakers are probably doubting the Bulldogs signal caller Tyson Lee who is 5'10 and threw 3 interceptions against LSU. Most of that had to do with the weather as two picks were off his receivers hands.

Again new coach Dan Mullen brings a different more credible offense that was in Georgia last year where they had just 7 points. The spread run by Lee will get some yards, as they out gained LSU by 111 yards last weekend, and Tech just does not have the play makers up front to get to through an SEC offensive line. LSU did not have a sack last weekend as MSU has returned four starters from the offensive line and it is certainly paying dividends despite their 2-2 record. Also worth mentioning is Anthony Dixon who is 16th in the nation in rushing yards with 107 per game. This is not your traditional spread offense with passing passing and more passing. They will mix in plenty of rushes to Dixon which will keep Tech guessing. The blueprint has been left by Miami on how to stop this rushing attack and I think their are not many teams that have the skill to run it, but the Bulldogs are one of them. They have the speed on the outside with LB Chaney, Wright, and White.
