We likely won't know if the offense will be "decent to good" until the 4th game (UF). We should put up good numbers against our first three opponents, but none will offer much competition.Quote:

Does that about sum it up or did I leave anything out?

I placed $100 on over 4 wins at ameristar. 4-8 incoming
I will say that it seems to me at least at Mississippi State it's a lot easier to "fix" the defense so I have no problem trying to establish the offense first and focus on offense first.Quote:

After reading the first few posts of this thread, I was sure that "most" on here would not need sarcasterisks (***) following my post you responded to. Like saying our 3 star and No-Stars would be 4 and 5 stars if Georgia or Bama had signed them should have been a clue.Quote:

I put $25 on it, I would have put more but I got -135.Quote:

Probably a little bit of both. It's a brand new system with brand new personnel on the offensive side (defensive side too, but that's never as big of an adjustment). I think what we'll see is a slow (or slower than we want) start, but the offense will improve as the season progresses. Hopefully the defense is not as bad as some have been saying/thinking. We'll find out soon enough.Quote:

It’s also nice to hear that our offense looks pretty good. Normally we get the “defense is good and our offense is going to be the challenge” in fall workouts. 6-6 would be a really good start for this regime, plus it will help bolster recruiting. New approach….be positive until you have a real reason to be upset, discouraged, or pissed off! Hail State
