Thanks to the fellas for linking this video highlight of the Mississippi State beatdown.
I have a couple of quick observations after seeing the game in person and watching this video. Steve Slaton is much more of a pro-style back than he was in the past. He makes more conservative jukes, though they're still sweet, and he runs with more power. He also is more likely to get out of bounds than before. He's still incredible, but he's smarter about injury, and less likely to bust the big one because of it. I'm not saying that's a bad thing either.
Our defense swarms to the ball, plays their assignments, and hits hard. They cause turnovers, and have cut way down on the big play. All in all I'm very, very impressed, and extremely happy. Our #4 defensive ranking might be a bit high, but we are certainly more than just legitimate.
