Reliaquest Bowl Thread

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Tyrus Wheat not with team and Dollar Bill starting at LT according to twitters

[Catfish]

Go Dawgs!

[SailingDawg]

FOOTBALL

[EdwardDrayton]

Greetings from Tampa!

Emotional pregame tribute to Coach Mike.

Let's sail with The Pirate one more time, pillage & plunder the Illini ship and bring home the spoils for the win!!

HAILSTATE!!!

[Saltydog]

I thought Wheat was going to play. Pre-game show said he wasn't there today.

[msstate7]

Don't like that delay there. That's a bad sign for a new HC imo. Got to have attention to detail

[msstate7]

Good stop, dawgs

[Quaoarsking]

Need to air it out even more. Illinois has an outstanding run defense, but several DBs not playing. Go all out, Will. Sling it around everywhere!

[Dawgology]

Don't like that delay there. That's a bad sign for a new HC imo. Got to have attention to detail

That was a planned thing I believe

[Dawgology]

Where is Tyrus Wheat?

[msstate7]

That was a planned thing I believe

Not on 4th down

[662dawg]

That was a planned thing I believe

I'm hoping he's talking about the delay of game on the punt lol

[msstate7]

Damn, Austin got killed

[msstate7]

Espn stop it... will to the nfl this season? Stop it

[msstate7]

Nice throw

[Dawgology]

Not on 4th down

Ah I missed that one. Had stepped away pouring another cup of coffee.

[msstate7]

Catch the ball.

[msstate7]

Another catchable ball there

[RocketDawg]

Don't like that delay there. That's a bad sign for a new HC imo. Got to have attention to detail

At the start of the game? That was preplanned and agreed to by Illinois. Part of the Leach tribute.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Was that not roughing the Punter?

[662dawg]

Espn stop it... will to the nfl this season? Stop it

You can tell all they're looking at is his stats lol

[Matt3467]

At the start of the game? That was preplanned and agreed to by Illinois. Part of the Leach tribute.

I believe he's talking about the delay of game on our first punt.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Where is Tyrus Wheat?
Declared for NFL Draft and not participating in Bowl Game

[bulldawg28]

We need these WR's to step up.

[Lord McBuckethead]

So the punter gets smoked, no flag? Even on a 5 yarder that would have been a first down.

[662dawg]

Another catchable ball there

Looked like Austin lost the ball in the sun or something

[Op4isabitch]

Declared for NFL Draft and not participating in Bowl Game

So he decided last minute not to play? It shows him on the participation list.

[Really Clark?]

So the punter gets smoked, no flag? Even on a 5 yarder that would have been a first down.

It was a bad missed call

[Lord McBuckethead]

That is a horseshit face mask. Directly after the roughing the punter no call.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Time to jump a route.

[msstate7]

That is a horseshit face mask. Directly after the roughing the punter no call.

Both were penalties

[Activated Alpha]

Looks like our offense doesn't even want to be there. Just very lackadaisical

[Lord McBuckethead]

We just raked the ball out. No review.

[msstate7]

They have caught us unset on the dline twice this drive. Line the F up

[Lord McBuckethead]

He more pushed the guys face mask than pulled him down by it. And let go immediately.

[Lord McBuckethead]

They have caught us unset on the dline twice this drive. Line the F up

Exactly. Charlton not even getting set to fire off. Easy to get 4 yards push when you take off 2 seconds after the snap.

[LC Dawg]

Don't like that delay there. That's a bad sign for a new HC imo. Got to have attention to detail

We're going to have some of those type issues next year with a 1st time HC. I think it's just part of it. Hopefully it's a fast learning curve.

[msudawglb]

This is not what I expected. We look unprepared and uninspired. Not even lining up on D in time.

[msstate7]

Whew

[Lord McBuckethead]

We are not running full speed yet.

[Leroy Jenkins]

When you give someone a month to prepare to only defend the first 10 yards you have to hit downfield shots.

[RocketDawg]

TD called back makes up for both facemask and punter missed calls.

[RocketDawg]

We are not running full speed yet.

Both teams look like they're in slow motion. Maybe just used to watching the playoff games.

[msstate7]

Good blitz

[Turfdawg67]

Exactly. Charlton not even getting set to fire off. Easy to get 4 yards push when you take off 2 seconds after the snap.

I guess he fired off there, eh?

[msstate7]

Come on offense

[State82]

That's the way to line up and play defense

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright. Who is going to get the WRs to hit another gear? Run the f**k deep and be ready for the ball.

And for Christ sake, block

[msstate7]

Good protection. Nice throw

[msstate7]

Will got to stop throwing flat footed.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Does Will not see the guy about to blow Marks up?

[msu15]

There's why Dillon jumped in the portal

[mparkerfd20]

These refs suck

[RocketDawg]

Rogers III is a bit off on throws,

[Saltydog]

This offense is all about timing and we're very much out of sync right now.

[Lord McBuckethead]

If Rogers has to run, it is incomplete every time.

[HoopsDawg]

Unblocked on a 3 man rush. SMH

[civildawg]

This game sucks. After watching those playoff games, this is just criminal to the sport

[msstate7]

Damn, they hate our punter

[Lord McBuckethead]

Punter gets destroyed yet again. Isn?t going to matter. Blocked into him.

[starkvegasdawg]

These refs are shit.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Lazy ass block there. Way to go Number 5

[Matt3467]

If Rogers has to run, it is incomplete every time.

One of the worst passers on the run I've ever seen.

[SailingDawg]

If Rogers has to run, it is incomplete every time.

At least he ran!

[Tough Dawg]

Too early to start our QB transfer portal search? I beg CZA to please do it.

[HoopsDawg]

This offense is all about timing and we're very much out of sync right now.

Did we take like 20 reps in preparation for this game?

[msstate7]

I don't mind staying air raid, but it's time to update it... add a te and a dual threat qb

[msstate7]

ESPN doing us a favor haha

[662dawg]

There's why Dillon jumped in the portal

No it isn't LMAO. Running backs get hit. It isn't just a State thing 😭

[Lord McBuckethead]

These announcers suck more than the refs. Are they even watching the game?

[HoopsDawg]

I don't mind staying air raid, but it's time to update it... add a te and a dual threat qb

Need an overhaul

[Matt3467]

Is Zavion Thomas coming back or no?

[662dawg]

I don't mind staying air raid, but it's time to update it... add a te and a dual threat qb

Or a QB with at least Tom Brady's mobility* & a little arm talent.

[vindastra]

Wow...finally

[Turfdawg67]

No it isn't LMAO. Running backs get hit. It isn't just a State thing ��

Don't worry yourself, all his takes are bad.

[civildawg]

That run LOL

[HoopsDawg]

Rogers really struggling

[mparkerfd20]

Will is a pus sy when running

[vindastra]

Will is a pus sy when running

Hey, it was fun to watch.

[662dawg]

"Announcer said he missed a wide open Harvey running down the middle of the field. He couldn't see him"

How the hell can you not see a wide open Harvey running down the middle of the field unless you're not very good at seeing the field? lol

[msu15]

Don't worry yourself, all his takes are bad.

Lol coming from a ***** like you that never shows up when he's wrong, this is hilarious.

[662dawg]

Don't worry yourself, all his takes are bad.

Ha

[civildawg]

The egg bowl really opened my eyes with Rogers. There were receivers running wide open on multiple plays and he just wouldn?t throw it

[CaptainObvious]

With Will Rogers this team is 5-7 next year.

With Michael Henig it would be 7-5.

[bulldawg28]

"Announcer said he missed a wide open Harvey running down the middle of the field. He couldn't see him"

How the hell can you not see a wide open Harvey running down the middle of the field unless you're not very good at seeing the field? lol

Lol..

[662dawg]

The egg bowl really opened my eyes with Rogers. There were receivers running wide open on multiple plays and he just wouldn?t throw it

This happens almost every game. Unfortunately. Great kid though & easy to root for.. but...

[msu15]

No it isn't LMAO. Running backs get hit. It isn't just a State thing 😭

Sarcasm lol, people have people complaining about our RB's getting blown up for 3 years.

[Turfdawg67]

In more positive news... our D is playing great.

[Maverick91]

With Will Rogers this team is 5-7 next year.

With Michael Henig it would be 7-5.

Ouch

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright, time to drive.

[Goldendawg]

Looks like our offense doesn't even want to be there. Just very lackadaisical

Playing aggressive man to man just like good SEC teams but doing it with true Freshmen DB's. WE need a new OC and a better O. This O is well beyond its "best by date". Nothing new from our last few games on O.

[Dawgface]

I don't mind staying air raid, but it's time to update it... add a te and a dual threat qb

Yep. A qb with mobility would make a huge difference.

[msstate7]

Good throw, will

[662dawg]

Am I the only that had no idea that Mike Leach son was a graduate assistant at State? 🤷

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright. Couple good plays. A little separation.

[662dawg]

Sarcasm lol, people have people complaining about our RB's getting blown up for 3 years.

My bad brother.

[msstate7]

Am I the only that had no idea that Mike Leach son was a graduate assistant at State? 🤷

Had no idea either

[Lord McBuckethead]

Rufus Harvey always gets tackled in weird ways. Dude is squirrelly.

[BeardoMSU]

Christ, Will....

[Turfdawg67]

Lol coming from a ***** like you that never shows up when he's wrong, this is hilarious.

Uh... I'm always here. And I'm never wrong.

[mparkerfd20]

****, Will

[msu15]

Our new OC needs to bring in a portal QB.

[civildawg]

We have to move on from will next year

[Dawgface]

Shit throw. Pathetic.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Help wanted - QB1 MSU

[msu15]

Uh... I'm always here. And I'm never wrong.

Delete your account man. Your 62 iQ brings nothing to this board.

[bulldawg28]

Run the ball!!!! Sheeeshhhhh

[662dawg]

Christ, Will....

Looked like that one was tipped at the LOS to me.

[msstate7]

Will is clearing regressing.

[msudawglb]

Pretty sure that throw was deflected at the line

[msu15]

My bad brother.

You're good man, I should've added the *** at the end.

[CaptainObvious]

Last time we got anything good out of Brandon was Norwood!!!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Will Rogers wishes. He just threw a strike to the DB.

[Dawgology]

I like OL’ Will but we have to do better at QB. Missed a WR running open down the field and then followed up with just a really bad throw and pick.

[Bothrops]

Will has no athleticism and tunnel vision. He makes it harder than it has to be.

[Tough Dawg]

Was not deflected.

[msstate7]

Our new OC needs to bring in a portal QB.

Maybe some new wrinkles to the offense makes our other qbs options

[bulldawg28]

We're going to mess around and let Illinois get comfortable.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We need to become road graders running the edge when we are inside the 15.

[Turfdawg67]

Christ, Will....

A 3 year starter just cannot do that... horrible decision

[Dawgology]

Pretty sure that throw was deflected at the line

Maybe but why was he throwing there when you had a man on sideline open for an easy in instead of double coverage.

[Bothrops]

Was that vall tipped?

[662dawg]

Was not deflected.

Pretty sure it was tipped. It may have been picked regardless tho.

[Turfdawg67]

Delete your account man. Your 62 iQ brings nothing to this board.

Nah, I get a bunch of rep when I rile up douche posters like you.

[Quaoarsking]

I thought the interception wasn't Will's fault live, but after replay, it definitely was.

[Lord McBuckethead]

He literally stared that play down.
Where is Will from two years ago on the Auburn comeback?

He absolutely refuses to throw the ball down field.
He routinely misses seeing defenders leading to interceptions and getting our players blown up.

Fu**ing attack the field. We are making them defend maybe 100 square yards.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Wow. No one wants to contain the edge.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Wow. Having a OL that can block helps.

[662dawg]

I thought the interception wasn't Will's fault live, but after replay, it definitely was.

Definitely on Will but it was tipped at the line. Slightly changed the trajectory but I'm not sure there was an open receiver in the area.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Jordan Davis injured again

[HoopsDawg]

We have to move on from will next year

The question is do we have a QB currently on the roster or can we finda portal QB. And Arnett better not fck up this OC hire.

[msudawglb]

The ball was 17n tipped. That?s a fact. Move on you blind sons of bitches.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Wake the F up MSU. Are we going to wait until they are up 10 to start the game?

[662dawg]

The ball was 17n tipped. That?s a fact. Move on you blind sons of bitches.

I agree it was tipped, but I'm almost sure Will still threw it?

[msstate7]

Nice job, D

[DownwardDawg]

I've been worried we would look like this. Too many emotions and how much practice and prep time did we lose when Coach Leach passed away? We look totally out of sync and Will looks lost.

[Quaoarsking]

The ball was 17n tipped. That?s a fact. Move on you blind sons of bitches.

Part of being a good QB is not throwing a ball in a path where a DL can tip it.

[662dawg]

Big break there. I can't imagine us starting from the 1 with Will at QB in shotgun lol

[StarkVegasSteve]

Our D is going to be salty next year. Now if we can just find a QB. Whether that be Robertson, Locke, Parson, or portal. It cannot be Will Rogers. He has regressed worse than any college QB in recent memory.

[HancockCountyDog]

I really think we need to hit the portal for a QB and I've been a Will defender all year.

[HancockCountyDog]

Will running the ball is brutal.

[Lord McBuckethead]

My adjustment. Tunnel screens. Jet sweep delayed with pulling gaurds.

[msstate7]

I've been worried we would look like this. Too many emotions and how much practice and prep time did we lose when Coach Leach passed away? We look totally out of sync and Will looks lost.

Will has been lost for a while.

[bulldawg28]

Will was running like hell to get out of bounds!

[msstate7]

Will running the ball is brutal.

Still take those 2-3 yards over throw away

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Will running the ball is brutal.
If he turns upfield he could have ran for awhile

[louisvilledawg]

Watching Will play this year is like watching a blind baby giraffe with a noodle arm

[msstate7]

Will throws the ball flat footed a lot.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Walley was running full speed.

[HoopsDawg]

What is Will doing?

[vindastra]

Just LOL

[BeardoMSU]

Good lord...

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yep. And I think he chooses before the snap. Like a hitter guessing curve.

[magrooder]

That is a stupid throw

[Bothrops]

Will throwing out of range lol

[msstate7]

Will Rogers just doesn't have the arm for this level

[bulldawg28]

Come on Will!

[mparkerfd20]

Will that was stupid. Bench his sorry ass.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Help Wanted MSU QB1

[msu15]

As good as a punt***

[louisvilledawg]

That arm strength tho

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hand the ball to Tulu. Sh*t

Jump ball to our shortest WR.

[HoopsDawg]

What is Will doing?

Jump ball to Harvey?

[Activated Alpha]

This is just painful to watch.....hope the rest of America just tuned into the very first part of the game to see us honor Leach then go back to watching anything else...

[mparkerfd20]

Love him as a person have grown to despise him as a player.

[Quaoarsking]

The Parson Era begins in September?

[bulldawg28]

For all of you saying we wouldn't miss Rara.. Still think that?

[Lord McBuckethead]

That arm strength tho

That is funny. It fluttered the second it left his hand.

[starkvegasdawg]

If this is playing in memory of Leach then he's dropping F bombs in his grave.

[Goldendawg]

Another batted down pass. no way is 6'2". WR making HS QB decisions with int into double coverage. Will be a long season with him as starter next year. Guess it was good as punt.****

[Thick]

Puss ?n Boots strikes again!

[TrapGame]

For all of you saying we wouldn't miss Rara.. Still think that?

Doesn't matter when the QB can't throw him the ball.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Jump ball to Harvey?

Perfect play, because no one expects you to throw it to the exact position in a fluttering high throw into double coverage. Catch them off guard. Almost worked perfectly.

[bulldawg28]

Doesn't matter when the QB can't throw him the ball.

True

[msstate7]

Will has 5 TO in last 5+ quarters.

[662dawg]

Y'all can disagree if ya want but Mike Leach is an offensive genius. Literally. He won 15 games the past two years with Will at Quarterback. It has to be by far his greatest accomplishment ever.

[Leroy Jenkins]

For all of you saying we wouldn't miss Rara.. Still think that?

Yeah, unless he can play QB.

[bulldawg28]

Puss ?n Boots strikes again!

Lol

[Lord McBuckethead]

Parson is going to have an easy path to the starting role. He will be starting by week 4 next year.

[662dawg]

Will was running like hell to get out of bounds!

Lmao

[HoopsDawg]

After watching the offenses of UGA, TCU, Ohio State, Tennessee, etc. this is just brutal.

Defense is going to have to score.

[BeardoMSU]

Gonna need some defensive/ST scores, lol.

[R2Dawg]

If this is playing in memory of Leach then he's dropping F bombs in his grave.

Leach has seen this many times before.

[Saltydog]

You mean like starter? Chance of that is extremely low.

[bulldawg28]

Y'all can disagree if ya want but Mike Leach is an offensive genius. Literally. He won 15 games the past two years with Will at Quarterback. It has to be by far his greatest accomplishment ever.

Nah , he should have benched Will. It's more stubborn

[Dawgface]

I really think we need to hit the portal for a QB and I've been a Will defender all year.

No reason not to.

[msstate7]

Look at the velocity on that throw Vs Will's

[Thick]

Duncan in coverage bad for us

[msu15]

Look at that difference in arm strength

[HoopsDawg]

That's the biggest flaw in an Arnett defense is having a safety cover the other teams best WR.

[vindastra]

Parson is going to have an easy path to the starting role. He will be starting by week 4 next year.

Is Parson available now?

[starkvegasdawg]

Well shit.

[HoopsDawg]

Look at the velocity on that throw Vs Will's

I just said the same thing

[msstate7]

Thanks Forbes. Now stay out. Get your money

[msstate7]

I just said the same thing

Everyone asks why will doesn't throw it deep... it's bc he doesn't have the arm. We make ourselves easy to defend bc we can't challenge you downfield

[R2Dawg]

Looks like a few other games where D gets tired of O sucking and finally gives up.

[Saltydog]

Tyrus Wheat not with team and Dollar Bill starting at LT according to twitters

We are completely uninspired today. Unfortunately it's not a good look for Arnett.

[KOdawg1]

Just dropping in to say that Will Rogers sucks and we'll continue to be a shitty offense with him behind center.

[Lord McBuckethead]

You mean like starter? Chance of that is extremely low.

Yes. I would sub in Parson right now for Will. Matter of fact, put Sawyer in there right now. Let Tulu run QB.

[HoopsDawg]

They have 1 playmaker

[662dawg]

For all of you saying we wouldn't miss Rara.. Still think that?

Nothing to do with RaRa. These are the games he disappeared in.

[Bothrops]

Let them score shit

[R2Dawg]

They score here it could be ballgame.

Will anyone make any adjustments at half?

[BeardoMSU]

We are completely uninspired today. Unfortunately it's not a good look for Arnett.

Slow down. The D has been fired up.

[cheewgumm]

Next year we need to use Tulu like they use # 1

[R2Dawg]

Bulldog D needs to rise up here

[IMissJack]

Thanks Forbes. Now stay out. Get your money

Yep

[Bothrops]

Will is a momentum killer. He's probably a D2 player if we're being honest.

[R2Dawg]

I'd love to see a different spread option QB if we had one.

Heck put Tulu in wildcat some. Be better than what we are doing. Ill outcoaching us on their D vs our O.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Next year we need to use Tulu like they use # 1

Been calling for it literally the entire year since last year.

[662dawg]

Next year we need to use Tulu like they use # 1

Starting the second half we need to use Tulu like they use #1

Fixed it for you.

[CadaverDawg]

Leave it to State to honor Leach, have the whole world watching and rooting for us, and completely shit our pants. Like Always. It's as predictable as the sun rising

[TrapGame]

If Will starts next year we're ****ed.

[BulldogBear]

Another game where the only real weak link is behind center. Imagine that.

Of course it doesn't help that they won't call holding on the Illini even if it will end world hunger.

[DownwardDawg]

This offense...... ooof.

[HoopsDawg]

Bookie got smoked by a WR.

[Maverick91]

Will would kill it in the west coast offense. This offense has to have a gun slinger.

[IMissJack]

Duncan in coverage bad for us
Looked terrible on that one

[Leroy Jenkins]

I've seen enough of the Suprrier experiment.

[HoopsDawg]

Another game where the only real weak link is behind center. Imagine that.

Of course it doesn't help that they won't call holding on the Illini even if it will end world hunger.

It's Will and the scheme.

[ScoobaDawg]

I just don't have words. Will is who he is. And it's not enough in this offense.

[bigplayslay]

Will is a momentum killer. He's probably a D2 player if we're being honest.

Don?t let Bucky see this post!

[Saltydog]

Slow down. The D has been fired up.

Yeah, I can agree w/that. They've been solid.

[TrapGame]

I've seen enough of the Suprrier experiment.

Actually I think we've seen enough of the Will Rogers experiment. We need a good portal QB asap.

[msstate7]

Another flat footed throw

[BulldogBear]

JR is impressive

[msstate7]

Good run, but use your arm to stiff arm

[vindastra]

Trick play sighting finally

[msstate7]

We run a trick play to try and hit em deep haha

[Dawgface]

I've seen enough of the Suprrier experiment.

What would another OC do for Will?

[Leroy Jenkins]

We traded with UGA, Robinson for Thomas. We will see how it turns out.

[HoopsDawg]

Boy, Will is staring down receivers.

[TrapGame]

At least the trick play worked.

[RocketDawg]

Thanks Forbes. Now stay out. Get your money

Yep.

[ScoobaDawg]

Wtf was that play. Like will is going to run down the field??

[RocketDawg]

At least the trick play worked.

Kinda surprised Will caught the ball.

[CadaverDawg]

Soft

Amazing how our defense can be so tough, while our offense is so soft

[662dawg]

JR is impressive

Yep. He will replace RaRa easily. We just need an SEC caliber QB

[Leroy Jenkins]

What would another OC do for Will?

Start with not asking him to be the whole offense.

[Thick]

Now Puss ?n Boots decides not throw to wide open RBs

[TrapGame]

Soft

Amazing how our defense can be so tough, while our offense is so soft

Hopefully Zach and the new OC change that PDQ.

[parabrave]

Neede to at least get a FG here and dammit.

[vindastra]

Our kicker is worse than the QB?

[HoopsDawg]

brutal ending to the drive there. Damn.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Will clapping to the offense, like they are the one that needs a pep talk.

[starkvegasdawg]

Wish they had gone for it.

[drummerdawg]

Looks like Illinois fans traveled well. On TV looks like they outnumber us.

[msstate7]

If ZA is gonna be a successful HC, this has to be eye opening. This won't work. Make a change in offense

[TrapGame]

Will clapping to the offense, like they are the one that needs a pep talk.

Clapping like a seal ain't gonna help him throw the ball better.

[HoopsDawg]

What an awful half of offensive football.
