I Don't Know If It'll Work, But It's Hard to Not Be Excited If You're An MSU Fan
I don't know if Cohen set out to turn MSU Football into the SEC's version of a knuckle ball, but that's exactly what's happened.
- I always envied Paul Johnson & Georgia Tech because they found a way to compete with less talent due to running a scheme (triple option) that teams struggled to prepare for. However, I always decided that MSU couldn't run that offense because there would be no way to recruit to it. Well, hopefully we've now found that balance. We can recruit to both our offensive & defensive scheme while both are not being run by any other SEC teams.
- We probably won't be the best coached team in the SEC, but here today I think it's safe to say that we may be the most schematically unique team in the SEC. Teams will have to adjust to what we do & that's tough to do in one week.
- I don't know if it'll work but I love the attacking, speed potential that this defense has the potential of. I love comparison to the Freeze defenses. Very aggressive & more concerned with creating plays for lost yardage & turnovers than giving up a big play.
- I love the fact that our offensive staff is already a well oiled machine. Don't underestimate this. Moorhead had to bring in a WR & OL coach that he had never really worked with. IMO the OL coach is most important to have already worked with the OC/play caller. See how Mullen & Hevesy have worked together. Leach already knows he can trust these guys, they know the offense, they already have chemistry, etc, etc, etc. That's going to allow our offense to hit the ground running & allow our players to click in this offense significantly quicker. No coaches have to learn the offense.
- We have a stud, EXPERIENCED, PRODUCTIVE, grad transfer QB coming in on a visit. Will allow us to potentially RS some guys.
- We're already giving out more offers nationally & receiving interest. WR & QB recruiting should see an uptick (Although beware, as Oklahoma found out with Josh Heupel, Leach may go after a 2 star that he just thinks is the THE GUY. Trust it.
- We have a legendary coach who is motivated to prove himself. Has a chip on his shoulder
- Again, I don't know if it'll work, but I like the way this is shaping up. In the near future, we won't have LSU or Bama talent throughout the entire roster. So we've got to fight a Guerrilla war while hoping the blue bloods fight in line formations. Not sure it'll work, but it'll be exciting & gives us a chance.
