State Loses at Louisville, 30-18
State certainly played well enough today to have a chance at the end, but poor execution and even poorer coaching in the red zone ended with State falling to 4-4 (0-4). Two fourth quarter series where the poor execution and even poorer coaching stand out: First, down 20-9, State had 2nd and 1 at the […]
Defense!

State Loses 11th Straight in ACC
It’s mid-October in a 2014 college football universe where Mississippi State is (legitimately) #1, Ole Miss is (legitimately) #3, the biggest game in Texas on the Saturday of the Red River Rivalry was TCU-Baylor and there is no Texas, Michigan or Florida anywhere near the Top 25.
