Mississippi State insider Steve Robertson joins the show on the Farm Bureau guest line talking about what the Bulldogs need to fix heading into the weekend live in the BankPlus Studio. Steve talks about how bad the defense has been so far and how he expected more consistency under a Zach Arnett led team. Steve talks about at this point people would be happy if the defense was average and says that there has to be pass rushers that can get to the QB. Bo asks Steve about the lack of production from Jaden Crumedy and he says that Nathan Pickering might be the better defensive player so far this year. Steve talks about how safety Shawn Preston is better in the run game and his absence in the first half vs South Carolina was obvious with the weakness in the defense. Bo and Steve talk about how Will Rogers and Kevin Barbay showed off the deep ball against South Carolina and Steve thinks that seeing that style again will depend on the matchups each week. Steve says that Will Rogers is the most criticized MSU QB in recent years and Bo offers Nick Fitzgerald as a rebuttal. Steve talks about the struggles of the run game for the Bulldogs and how it probably won't get solved against Alabama's defense. Bo asks Steve about defensive lineman Trevion Williams still recovering from injury and Zavion Thomas still isn't at 100%. Steve gives a name that has probably been the biggest effect on defense and talks about how eh needs to show more than flashes to help the unit. Bo asks Steve what he thinks about people calling for Zach Arnett to be fired and Steve believes that the head coach will turn things around in the next one or two years.
