    And we have a better team than LSU, but strange things happen in Baton Rouge.

    We don’t have a DB that can cover AJ. There will have to be D-Line pressure on Tamu to keep the shart WRs from burning us.

    AUB has Stidham. Again, DL and pressure is key.

    KState is a bit of an unknown, but JoMo may not have his offense in full effect early season.
    People are sleeping on Dantzler, Peters, Cole and Tyler Williams. That is a solid 2 deep of CBs

    It is. As long as he brings the funk and doesnt sit back we should be ok.

    Im at 50/50 with him. Giving up 400 plus rushing yards to Mizzou and UK is about more than just injuries

    It's strange, Shoop has a proven track record, but I'm much more confident in Joe Moorhead than Shoop. I feel good about Joe, I think he's going to do a great job. I'm scared to death about Shoop. I know we are going to be Top 30 in defense. We have too much talent to be worse than that. I just wonder if he is going to get the absolute best out of our talent. I don't like seeing guys like Fletcher Adams at 3rd string DE whereas a Tre Brown is 2nd string DT.

    Thats the thing- we've seen everybody except Guidry, Rivers, Landrews and Cole. We return the most starters in the SEC I believe. Last time that happened was 2014.

    That wont stay that way. 2 practices into spring ball I wouldnt take the depth chart seriously. We know who are players are, Fletch is one of them

    Yes, but Fletcher and a lot of our other talented players can't play DT in a 4-2-5. We have the ideal depth and talent to play the 3-4, but apparently Shoop is going to run the scheme he's been running for the last 10 years instead of adjusting to our personnel.

    Good point. Didnt think of that. But you can play inside if you're quick as hell have some nastiness and a motor that never lets up. Fletch has all 3. He would be a damn good slanting DT

    I’m ready to fast forward to Football now. This team is going to be dominant on both sides of the football, and we have a kicker who can actually make field goals.

    That's on Moorhead- he had the choice of hiring a 3-4 guy or a 4 front guy. And I disagree about the talent- we have the perfect talent for a 4 front. We actually have so much talent on D we could run anything. Our front is ridiculous with Sweat, Simmons, Thomas, and Rivers. Thats 4 draft picks right there. Then you add in quality depth- its just going to be fun to watch

    You're probably right. For some reason I thought it was a Thursday night game.

    K State always plays very very hard against SEC teams. I remember a close game when they hosted Auburn on a Thursday night..I think, 4 or 5 years ago.

    It’s yet to be seen whether there’s any “that’s on Moorhead”. Everything about Moorhead’s history points to using the available talent rather than forcing a system.

    The natural assumption is for success with this group. There is no evidence-base for a loser’s mentality with either this talent or this staff.

    That lives somewhere, anywhere, outside of Starkville.

    If that is true, why did we hire him? My expectation is that he will continue to improve our football program for years to come. We won't win big every year. But some years we will. Next year, I think we lose to BAMA, Auburn, and LSU. And we could easily lose at K-State (very tough on their home turf) or Kentucky. I would say 8-4 should be our minimum and 10-2 our high end. Stick a gun to my head and I would say 9-3 with another trip to Florida for a bowl.

    LSU's offense was shut out in their 1st scrimmage the other day. We arent losing to LSU- I dont care where the game is played.

    My statement is based on the fact that this will be the most talented team we have had at State in my lifetime- and we are going to lose alot of it after this season. It's going to be hard to amass this much talent in Starkville again. We are one of the 10 most talented teams in the country.

    I thought this was hilarious. They play the toughest schedule in the country this year, that’ll be fun to watch.
