    We couldn't covert a 3rd down to save our lives and Dan still went for it twice on 4th. That's guts.

    When your FG kicker can't make a FG and your offense can't convert a 3rd down, what the hell are you supposed to do? Go balls out with flea flickers? We got 2 turnovers and had the ball 18 minutes in the 2nd half and scored once. This lovefest for our offensive production yesterday amazes the ever living hell out of me. 20 points against Auburn and we're happy with everyone but Dan??? Really???

    415 yards, 20 points, no turnovers...with a QB that is only going to get better....how does this amaze you?

    You are probably one of only 5 State fans in the entire fanbase that thinks Russell would have done better

    I don't know what has crawled up Hack's ass lately, but he's gone full retard with Russell.

    I really hate to channel Crxxms, but if you can't see the difference in the offense when Dak is in the game and when TR is in the game, then you're blind. Or don't know very much about football. It really is that simple. The team has a different energy level and intensity when Dak is in the game. The offense gets in a better rhythm, which is crucial to the Spread, because we're running the ball more instead of going 3 and out passing every time we turn around. And the creativity of the play calling is night and day. Plus, we'd have scored more if Dan hadn't decided to sit on the ****ing ball for 1.5 quarters with a 3-point lead.

    I saw 9 in the box and CDM afraid to open it up with Dak... against AUBURN for 16 straight minutes. That has me more concerned than it does y'all apparently.

    This is right.

    I hate it for Russell...as everyone does.

    But, in honor of Breaking Bad..."no more half measures".

    Fact is , as everyone else on here that is pro Dak has outlined is he is the best fit. I think Russell can play in the NFL, but that doesn't matter. What many have said abou Mullen is true...he coaches this type of QB and his offense works with it. That's not a bad thing, but its a fact. And his offense can be really productive with it...so no need to fear it. Embrace. I am.

    I think he is more scared of his WR's than he is Dakota throwing it- Dak threw 28 passes last night.

    If he was worried about throwing, he could have thrown a screen or any other easy pass- like a rollout.

    Dak played well. I'm just upset about the 2nd half and worried that we won't be able to move the ball against 8-9 in the box.

    Well, we can't move it with Russell with 6 in the box- might as well try something new

    This train has derailed. It was caused by conductor error. This sucker is heading over the cliff. Now many thought we we get the movie version...you know, Superman swoops in and sets it back on track just in the nick of time.

    Well gentlemen, this ain't the damn movies. Collins is not gonna put it back on track. Dak is not Superman. Putting Les in the nursing home and Mullen signaling the plays won't save us. This train is about to crash and burn.

    I think judging a Sr QB on a single game while he had a concussion is a mistake too. He had a few bad games last season down the stretch, but this is a new season. He's earned and deserves a chance to play at least one healthy game before our lovely fans write him off as a Sr bust.

    From the outside looking in people probably think our fans are insane for wanting to sit our single season passing record holder because he had a bad game while playing with a concussion.

    He didnt have a concussion in the 1st half- he even ran the ball on the zone read right before half. Stop making excuses

    The people on the outside see a coach that has flatlined in Starkville.

    bullshit. that's just plain wrong and an attempt to make a point at the expense of TR. he had a concussion after the first drive. the knee to his head wasn't even a hard hit. It was the 3 big hits he took before the knee. You know football, so I know you can see it just like I did. You'd have to be blind as shit to not realize the difference between TR prior to that first hit and after.

    I think Hack is right here. TR took a shot to the head in the 1st Q. The refs threw a flag on it and then picked it up. TR slid just as a guy was diving into him and made helmet to helmet contact. I think the defender didn't intend that, but happened due to the timing of TR's slide.

    Russell seems to get erratic after he gets his. OSU wasn't a first. He gets hit and he just gets rattled....which is just one more reason to play our physical QB IMO.

    I still want to give TR the benefit of the doubt but the performance from Dak this game just can't be rationally argued ... try the 2 QB system now that we have better components and go with whatever system shows the most consistency ... I think this would work better with Tyler & Dak than it did with Tyler & Relf
