It's been a problem all year. Wilson like running a "bend but don't break" defense, and I hate it. Receivers constantly have a huge cushion, and the defensive line has been useless all year. The line has single digit sacks between all of them. It's a shame, too, since the secondary is pretty good, but the best secondary is wasted if you can't get any pressure on opposing QBs. Troy and Tennessee put up huge numbers, and we got saved because they shot themselves in the foot.
Obviously what Miss St did, didn't work, but getting pressure on Manziel isn't always the thing to do, oddly enough. Florida shut him down by
not rushing him in the second half, because they wanted to make sure he didn't beat them with his feet. Not 100% sure that will work now, given his comfort level in the offense and the coaches' confidence in the passing game, but it certainly worked in Game 1. LSU mixed it up, but they also didn't need to bring extra guys to generate a pass rush because their DEs are so good.
Bottom line, Mullen is probably the best coach at MSU outside of Sherrill, and while he hasn't gotten you guys over the hump, yet, I think it would be an awful mistake to get rid of him.
There was also that pass interference call against LSU, which wasn't pass interference at all

My AP Top 10:
1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. K State
4. ND
5. Georgia
6. Ohio State
7. Florida
8. Clemson
9. Florida State
10. LSU/Louisville
Looks pretty good. I'd put K-State above Oregon and LSU above Clemson, FSU and Louisville, but otherwise I'd agree.
