Dont know a whole lot about Jason to be honest.

    Hopefully Jason is a stud but at what point has Mullen ever thrown true freshman WRs or at any position for that matter into the fire. Kylin Hill is getting the most PT out of any true freshman I can remember under Dan. We have guys that can play there, Couch, Todd, Mitchell all are the big WRs we want. This is Todd and Mitchells first year of major college football. Give them time.

    We are never going to throw the ball around like Ole Miss does. We are however going to beat them and be better than them for a long time to come. I guess my point is, getting to Atlanta is going to be done on the OL and DL, running the football (setting up our passing game) and defense and special teams. Its the way this game has always been and it aint changing. Name the last team to win a title running the air raid and throwing it around all game. I'll wait
    Well if there is any position a first year player can come in and win a spot, it's WR for MSU right now.

    And nobody said we needed to go air raid, so not sure why you went there really...but being able to drop back and complete a few passes without having to rely on play action getting receivers wide open is something we need to be able to do.

    Fair point. I would argue that we have had chances in games to make the 50/50 plays but we havent won enough of them yet. Give the guys we have time and they will. Getting Myles back will help us, hopefully Couch does more of what we saw Saturday. I dont think Mullen trusts him though.

    But as far as a first year player coming in and getting a ton of snaps/targets? I dont see it happening. You are what you are at some point. Dan no like freshman playing.

    You can always rely on running the football and playing defense no matter who you play if you're good at it. Championship teams do
