And it wouldn't be a 3-8 anymore w GS in. They would stuff the box. Then what??? There is a reason GS isn't our qb w our current coach.Quote:

I don't understand our fans.
Or we could just leave Costello in, hit the checkdown and get an easy first down.Quote:

maybe because a running QB carried us to #1 a while back ... I say anything to keep a defense off balance is a good thingQuote:

Yea they were. Just as we were talented enough to beat LSU the week before? Not sure what you were expecting? A national title run in year one of a new offense? Arkansas is about on par with us from a raw talent standpoint. Its not like they were recruiting in the 80s over the last four years.
Anyone in this conference can beat you when you don't execute and turn the ball over.
I doubt Arkansas beats us 6 out of the next 7 times like Washington did to Washington State. Hence the reason for my initial comment. Re comparing washington state/washington to OM/State is just dumb.
I would say it's more like Texas Tech losing to Texas 5 of 6 times, if we're talking about resourcesQuote:

Nobody said anything about a national championship. Anybody that does is a fantasy driven idiot.
State hasn't been to Atlanta in 22 years, and even then they back doored it IIRC
I am saying he lost to his RIVAL every single time after the first meeting. Maybe rivalry games mean something different in the PAC 12.
I am saying he runs a gimmick offense with a serious flaw and is unwilling to modify it. I mean the man can't burn clock because his offense only knows 1 speed.
Real simple, that is what MSU fans have seen give success for 40+ years going all the way back to Bond in 80s, to wishbone, to spread, to Fitz SEC leading rushing QB. MSU fans want success. I'm not saying we can't have success other ways but running the ball with RB and even QB is something we have proven to do successfully. Passing and winning will take time.Quote:

Also, if you've paid attention, it's been posted on here many times that Washington State has great time of possession. That theory that leach wears his defense out has been debunked already.
