They have a grand total of 11 more yards than us. That's it. And unlike the bears, we have liberally used backups in games against cupcakes instead of leaving our starters in to pad stats and we have also already played a ranked SEC foe.

Amazing how many of these "expert" talking heads keep buying into their hype. They have literally not played a "real" defense yet. smh
I am glad that everyone who has on a uniform is playing at MSU. No need to run the score up.. IF Dan had chosen to move forward then MSU would have numbers ahead of OM...
Their offense kind of reminds me of the last Jackie Sherrill offense in 2003. Fant would just throw it deep for Ray Ray and he would just run by people. That worked against teams that had shitty defenses but as soon as we saw a good defense, it was bad. Hopefully UM gets a 2 -10 record for themselves.Quote:

Good for team chemistry, morale. Also helps avoid unneccesary injuries.Quote:

I think I read that 85% of their plays have been passes.
And then you have Gruden talking about how Engram only knew 2 routes and didn't have a clue about a route tree. I guess NFL teams run more than bubble screens or go routes.Quote:

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Commercecomet24 again.Quote:

However if Ole Miss still had Engram their offense would be hitting it. He made that offense for Freeze. You saw just how bad it was with out him last season. Losing Kelly wan't near as bad as losing Engram.Quote:

Yep. And told Shea no need wasting time reading defenses, just start with the first receiver. If he ain't open look to another one and 'trust your cannon', and just sling it to the open one, I believe.Quote:

And MMDL does the same thing, and it's not what the landsharks do....
Their yards stat is going to be skewed especially at this point in the season- they run more plays than a typical team and their competition has not been good.
