Very interesting indeed. Maybe they know something.
Just win... I still have no clue what to expect from this team this year but I hope it's gonna be more of what we were promised and entertaining.
Woah...
This is Bogus, no Notre Dame or USC.****Quote:

By the way, what’s anybody hearing out of camp so far? Anything to be excited about so far?
Ive heard the receivers have really improved and the defense has looked good. It could just be sunshine pumping but I hope its true.Quote:

Every year when MSU is predicted to suck:
"We never get any respekt."
MSU finally gets some respect:
"Idk about that now."
Turnovers. We clean up our turnovers and that by itself will increase offensive production. I'm pretty optimistic about where we are headed. 8 wins is not out of the question with the schedule we have.Quote:

And then we lose Spencer, Jones, and Errol on defense- but I think we can replace their production with Crumedy, Jordan Davis, Randy Charlton, and Nate Watson. Everyone else returns and most should be better. I'm not sure how FPI counts transfers like Polk and Green but they could help us out a lot. And then you have the x-factors at WR like Ducking, Harvey, and Teddy Knox along with Polk. How good we ultimately are depends in part on how many of these guys are for real or not- and is not really factored into FPI other than in the form of recruiting rankings. Defensively we were 5th in the SEC in most major overall categories except for pass defense in which we were 10th. Our secondary should be improved just simply because we have guys healthy. We lost our LS on ST but return our kickers and our return guys and could take a step here if we find a punt returner that is able to return punts instead of fair catching everything.
Add in a full spring, a full offseason of conditioning, and Leach not having as many malcontents and we're definitely trending in the right direction.
Under six wins - subpar performance
6-7 wins- solid season to be optimistic about
8+ wins- outstanding job.
My call is 7-5
Like death and taxes, lol. Rinse, repeat.Quote:

Look up Leaches record in his 2nd season at new jobs
FPI doesnt mean a damn thing one way or the other but I can promise you we will be a good team in 2020. We will compete
Back to the future?
YepQuote:

Other than Bama, I don't really see a blow out
Again- we were in basically every game as it was last year except for Alabama and maybe Kentucky. If we cut out the turnovers who knows how the UK game turns out? Costello killed us last year. So yeah- I don't see why this year should be any different in that regard barring a ton of injuries or something like that.Quote:

I don?t see us winning @auburn, bama or @tamu just because we aren?t fully at a talent level to do that. Hope I am wrong but I will say anything worse than 7-5 with this schedule would be a big disappointment and I think would make year 3 for Leach very critical
Yep that one and Ark easily W if we don't turn it over.Quote:
