What can we do different?

Will is not physically capable of running.

I agree when we get a q b that can buy time and avoid the rush it makes the offense much more difficult to stop. You don?t need to be a runner in this offense like Corrall, but it sure helps if the q b is athletic enough to side step the rush or buy a little time with his feet.

Sawyer and Locke both have good enough athleticism and strong arms they will give you a different look.

Those two guys have been in the air raid for years at very good programs. They are going to be very good.

I doubt either see the field. Robertson will play baseball or transfer out with Greek in another year.

Somrobertson and Greek are both transferring out ? Why would you say that ?

If an offense has its data base of success and failures, it also has the oppositions scouting report because both us and opposition break down the same video. If swing passes are being blown up consistently, we need to understand, we have been scouted, and they have to be emphasized less and substituted with a firm run play or launch a contested ball up field, just stop throwing them during that game?. I believe that the offense has to be ruthlessly disciplined in play calling and not overly optimistic in certain instances. If something is going garbage during a game have a great plan "B"? Why did we not just launch into the end zone on the last play of the game? Psychology problem?

I believe that we are close to getting things right. Maybe just bastardizing the purity of the air raid could net us something good in the future.

The receivers that are going into the NFL are players and not scheme participants. Working on being the best 50-50 receiver corps in college football can get us top tiered receivers and improve our current ones also. This can make us better and get us over the top?

Most of you who want Will to run are the same ones saying we wouldn?t win 5 game.

BINGO

Sounds about right

😂
I say that because Will seems firmly cemented at the QB position. I begged for Robertson early on because he?s the more gifted athlete, but it?s not happening, plus, most on here seem to think he really only cares about baseball.
I only say that about transferring because it?s common place now. If you can?t start, you leave. They might not, but if they?re really competitive, the transfer portal makes it easy to move to a more immediate opportunity. How does that make me a troll? Tater tot just hates that I use logic and reason to evaluate our team vs pump sunshine with him.

So. You have no evidence Greek or Robertson are going to transfer, you just said that because a lot of players transfer nowadays ? Sounds legit

Watched every single game. When the longest pass is 44yds and that was against Tenn State and before that I think it was 33 yeah Will needs to learn when to go long.

Get a kicker.

Get 2-3 EDGE pass rushers that can cause havoc.

It would be nice to have one now.

We had passes of 42 and 37 against Arkansas. Kinda curious if you watch Auburn / Arkansas games at all honestly.

No. It was an assumption based on what seems to be current. Even if they stay, barring injury, Will will be here for 3 more seasons. I?m so very sorry that you are fine stating your assumptions, but seem to take issue with me stating mine. Wow, you really took that personally, huh?

I would love to see Robertson run this system, but he wasn?t able to win the job. The longer he stays behind Will, the less reps he will see, the bigger the gap in ability to run the system how CML wants it. I don?t see anyone replacing Will at this point. Leach seems very pleased with him there

At this stage not a whole lot. If the passing game struggles then state is really a one dimensional team. Not having at least a complimentary running game has been glaring.

After a "full" two seasons, I am not convinced this offense is some secret weapon or magic bullet that elevates the talent profile. We still need players with stones that want the ball in their hands, when the other team is playing well and the game is on the line. We need speed and size on defense regardless of the offense. We need a damn kicker that isn't a choker.

We shall see how Leach and Company finish in recruiting. However if State doesn't do more to get serious about the football program, State will always lose to Alabama and only beat OM in years that OM is down. I've just seen to many different coaches and players and seasons to think anything different will occur (regardless of some magical offense) unless State just flat out gets better players or OM has a really down year.

That's debatable, but carry on. :rolleyes:

While we shouldn't definitely say things that aren't official, do you expect either one of them to wait until they're 5th year seniors to have a shot at the job?

Barring injury, it's very likely Will is our starting QB through January 2025.

We've been pretty much one dimensional for years(outside of the Dak years) just the other way, with no passing game to speak of. At least now we have the ability to comeback by being able to throw the ball. In years past if we got behind it was game over because we had zero passing game. It's time we try something different. Leach may or may not be the one but with the progress we made this year the future looks exciting.

I agree and he is bringing in some really good wr's like we have never had. I mean we have individually some really good receivers like Ross, Moulds, etc. but never as a group of them.

Yes he is bringing in some talent! Man I would've loved to see
Moulds in this offense! I loved watching that guy play! Generational talent and we didn't really have the qbs to use him to his fullest!
