Green Receives High Marks Against UAPB; Real Test Coming
A Stellar Performance Against a Lesser Opponent
Quarterback Shedeur Sanders led the Bulldogs to a commanding 63-6 victory over the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB) Golden Lions on Saturday, September 10th. Sanders, a true freshman, threw for 215 yards and two touchdowns in the first half alone. The Bulldogs' defense also had a strong showing, holding the Golden Lions to just 165 yards of total offense.
This win marks the Bulldogs' first of the season and improves their record to 1-1. The Golden Lions, on the other hand, fall to 0-2.
A True Test Awaits
While the Bulldogs' performance against UAPB was impressive, they will face a much tougher test this Saturday when they travel to Starkville to take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs. The Mississippi State Bulldogs are ranked No. 17 in the nation and are coming off a 49-10 win over the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs will need to play their best game of the season if they want to have a chance to upset the Mississippi State Bulldogs. The game is scheduled to start at 6:00 p.m. CT and will be televised on ESPN.
Keys to the Game
There are several keys to the game that the Bulldogs will need to focus on if they want to pull off the upset:
- They will need to protect the football. The Bulldogs cannot afford to give the Mississippi State Bulldogs any extra opportunities.
- They will need to win the turnover battle. The Bulldogs will need to force the Mississippi State Bulldogs into mistakes and take advantage of them.
- They will need to play physical on both sides of the ball. The Bulldogs will need to match the Mississippi State Bulldogs' physicality and intensity.
If the Bulldogs can do these things, they will have a chance to pull off the upset. However, it will be a tough task, and the Bulldogs will need to play their best game of the season.
Conclusion
The Bulldogs' victory over UAPB was a good start to the season, but the real test will come this Saturday against the Mississippi State Bulldogs. The Bulldogs will need to play their best game of the season if they want to have a chance to pull off the upset.
