A couple of things I keep seeing on this board are both ridiculous and show a lack of football knowledge. I'm not saying I'm some guru, because I'm not, but holy shit some of our fans are going full blown retard over yesterday's loss.
First thing, some of you need to quit saying "we have a sunbelt Oline" or "it's all on our OLine". BULL SHIT. How many of our fans could call the play before we even walked to the line of scrimmage yesterday? You think it's easy to block a defense and create holes when everybody in the mother****ing stadium knows what we're running, where we're running it, and who is running it? Shit. Our OLine can be a strength if our offensive play callers would remove their heads from their asses.
Second thing, some of you need to quit saying "Russell is not the problem, it's the play calling". You are right to an extent. Russell is not the only thing to blame, and the play calling definitely is the suck....but Russell was audibling out of passing plays into running plays. And Russell was scared to throw the ball until someone was wide the hell open bc he was scared of the INT. Russell is not the only one to blame, but as a Senior QB he has GOT to do a better job of controlling the offense. Russell was the one saying he had 2-3 pass options and 2-3 run options EVERY time he goes to the line. So he had the ability to get the offense going through the air but got scared. However, Mullen and Koenning have got to tell him he can't change the play or something, and MAKE him run the most effective plays, and they didn't.
And to all of the imbeciles saying Mullen should be fired.....just stop. If he tanks this year and next, he will be gone, but it is doing NOTHING positive to start that shit after game 1. For all you know, OK state could win the damn National Title and score 60 points a game the rest of the season and shut everybody out. One game does not make a season, and there was a lot to be excited about yesterday in my opinion. Our defense will keep us in a lot of games this year, and our offense WILL improve whether you walking emoticons want to admit it or not. Step off the ledge, quit yelling Fire Mullen, and let us at least play a few games first before calling the season a waste. Hell, at the end of the day, yesterday was a loss like 90% of our fan base expected. A loss is a loss, and I would rather our offense lay a turd to cause us to lose than for our defense to have done it. We have had FAR worse offenses and won games at MSU due to a stout defense, so everybody chill out and give em a chance to bounce back.
We're all pissed, but this may end up forcing changes sooner than we would have seen them had we won an ugly game or two versus cupcakes to start the season and Dan thinking "nothing's wrong, we won!". He got to see immediately that offensive changes need to be made, so let's see what happens.
