    Appears that way. I saw a lot of positive response from team mates. KJ got looks on sidelines. Tough spot to put a transfer QB. I hope we never do it again unless it is second coming of Dak.

    Completely disagree..... Shrader knows how to go through progressions but he typically has more time because the other team has to respect his legs.

    No one ever picked KJ off the ground when he got hit.

    Why do you think we should leave more guys in to help ol? We already have 5 blocking 3. Don't see how 6-7 vs 3 helps us any. If you can't beat a guy with 2 blockers then 3 won't help plus less dudes stretching the d. Our lack of offense is all on the oline in my opinion and Will > KJ

    Seems like hiring a defensive coach is heading backwards these days. All rules favor offense

    Look, I'm willing to give Leach a year or two to get things up and running. I don't think Cohen or Leach factored in a pandemic with no Spring Practice when he was hired. Anyone that already labels Leach as Morehead 2.0 is just being shortsighted. Leach has an 18 year track record of winning with his system as a HC at the P5 level. Morehead doesn't have squat as a HC. If we still look like this next year I will join in on the Leach will never work mantra.

    I agree. Just like Morehead with Tommy Stevens, I think a coach that brings in a one year graduate QB feels obligated to have him start to improve his NFL stock. Probably because that was the selling job used to get him in the first place. So it is difficult to get a coach to bench him unless things just go to hell in a handbasket. But that is just about where we are now. So if you get a guy that works like Minshew then great but if it doesn't then you are in a tough spot.

    Will's last drive was 3 passes behind the LOS. We have systems issues.

    I don't get the Shrader love at all. Like thinking he IN A DIFFERENT SYSTEM would be better than what were doing now? Sure. But thinking that hed be better than what we have now in THIS system? Assuming hes not "lost"? He became the 3rd team QB pretty quick. He got moved to WR. Unless you think Leach has an irrational personal hatred of him its unlikely he can execute the O.

    And I agree that theres really no point in leaving a RB in to help the OL. They're missing assignments, barely putting hands on people, barely moving theor feet (Eiland os a statue), and arent that physical. In a simple blocking scheme. Vs 3 rushers. until that gets fixed the O will suck, even if Will continues to look good.

    Now that Will seems to be able to execute the O, Its OL coaching thats the problem holding the O back.

    Poor lil MSU. We can't recruit offensive linemen that can pass block in Misssissippi.**

    I'd find four JUCO OL that can and kick Hevesy's trash to the curb.

    That's not how this system works. The ball has to get out.

    Yeah, but you are thinking of the Mike Leach at WSU offense. They saw all kinds of defenses except when they played Washinton.

    The Mike Leach at MSU offense sees only 1 defense.

    this is WAYYYYY wrong ... I've said before when nothing is working - give the guy a shot, I promise you he won't slide short of a first down and would probably have less interceptions. Besides, how much accuracy is needed for a 4 yard pass
    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    Only difference is Leach is better with discipline but other than that we have a more expensive Moorhead at HC.
    Leach being disciplined is not the only difference. There is the difference that Leach ahs proven he can install his system. THere's also the difference that Leach is having to install his system in a 17ed up off season. There probablyh are adjustments he needs to make, but I can cut him some slack for not wanting to go away from what he has seen work until he has given it more than 3 games after a limited off season. Especially when even I could see the WRs were running into coverage in two of those games (didn't get to watch the A&M game closely).

    This may be a bust hire, but the only thing I see so far that probably can't be fixed without an adjustment this season is the OL blocking. Not sure if we just need better suited personnel or if we have to make scheme adjustments with either splits or using TEs or RBs to help more on pass blocking.

    Yeah everyone seems to overlook it but I noticed it against UK too.

    I'm not buying "communication" as the excuse for piss poor protection. They're forgetting they all have on the same uniform...I'd be embarrassed by the lack of effort but I suspect the "malcontent virus" is still active.

    I agree. The QB must be a threat to run in our current offense due to our not very good OL. It seems to me Shrader fits that bill more than any of our other QB's; plus, from what I've seen, he's a pretty good passer

    Same thing is happening with Auburn..... Nix has become toxic and the team doesn't want to play for him. Coaches only do so much..... every team needs a Dak to keep everyone motivated for 60 minutes.

    Truth: Leach would have a NC had he not been fired from Tech. Arguably should've been playing for one in '08 but imagine Leach with Patrick Mahomes. There's a few people on here that have been Never Leachers from the get-go and are proud to point and say "see! I told ya so!" Well if this was Moorhead or any other coach without any prolonged history as a HC I may even have fallen victim to that way of thinking as well but this guy has been a HC since 2000 and quite simply has more wins than losses so I'm willing to give him time and by time I mean 3 - 4 years for results. So much of this fanbase has been jaded by the little success we had with Mullen that if a guy doesn't come in and win here in year 0.5 or 1 then it's time to fire him. Maybe some of you just don't care or think but what coach is going to want to come here if he's not given time to bring in his players and install his system. As a rule a guy should have one full recruiting cycle freshman to senior to see what he's capable of.

    Leach has whooped better defenses consistently throughout his career than the one he is currently being defeated by. It won’t get better until he gets his guys on the OL. You can argue whether or not he should change his system before he gets the personnel to run it so we aren’t completely trash for a year or 2 but anyone that thinks Leach won’t get it turned around offensively if he is given enough time is kidding themselves.
