Postgame Football Reactions: State vs. Louisiana Monroe - September 5, 2026

Yeah, this game was over right around the coin toss.

You could just see the entire demeanor of both teams.

Mississippi State, I thought from the beginning, was the dominant team.

And the thing I thought Monroe did wrong is they let them know they knew that they were the dominant team.

There wasn't a lot of fight early.

I thought you saw a little more fight later.

But the thing that jumps out at me and coach, I thought there was an easy button that Mississippi State could have taken today.

And that's snap the ball to Kamario Taylor and let him run.

I thought what we saw was the exact opposite of the bowl game last year.

You saw a guy stand in there, make plays.

He had plenty of ability to get out and run had he wanted to.

He did it a couple of times when he needed to.

But I thought you saw a disciplined offensive approach that wasn't even as much about this game as it was about this.

Helping him take that next step of being a true

quarterback.

I agree, Charlie.

Coach Levy's just an outstanding play caller.

He really is.

You know, and he uses Camario really, really well today.

You know, I know as a young – he's only had three starts.

He had an outstanding, fabulous game today.

And, you know, I'm sure Coach – well, he'll have one or two things he'll have to talk to him about.

But at the end of the day, he's a playmaker.

He's a special talent.

And I'm going to give the coaching staff a lot of credit too.
