    KJ is a very solid QB. We saw that when he set an SEC all time passing record. We haven't seen enough of Will to have a strong opinion and Will is a young guy.

    It's Leach and he could care less about the locker room, I don't mean this as a negative statement, but he is just hell bent with dealing with players and I am ok with this as long as we win. Saban is the master with getting respect from players but he has a rooster full of 4 and 5 star players. Msu has 2 and 3 stars, big difference.

    Rosebowl said last week he expected Rogers but now expects Costello

    My only thought is that Costello must have torn it up at practice the past two weeks because in games he clearly isn't better than Rogers.

    If Leach is doing this because he's worried about Rogers' mentality, then I really disagree with the move. You can't hide players. The good ones step up and get it done.

    Just playing Costello with the expectation that he'll suck is absolutely absurd to me.
    but it's only been 4 games ... 4 freaking games** .... lol welcome to the dark side Gun
    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.

    My guess is Costello continues to perform better than Rogers in practice. That's the way it has been up to know. If Rogers wants to be the starter then he needs to step it up during the week leading up to the game.

    Agree. What really needs to happen is that Costello plays in games the way he practices

    Yes, that would help too. It would also help if our OL gets on the same page.

    If we come out and have no wrinkles against Bama, in a game where we have nothing to lose, you guys can have Leach. That will tell me all I need to know about what we can expect going forward.

    Get ready.

    Leach fan but disappointed in what we have seen the last three games. I think he will be fine in the long run.

    The only thing that might save us from a 62-10 blowout is Saban believing his 5* players are so superior to our WRs, that he stubbornly plays man to man. I expect to watch the first quarter and that's about it.

    QB is not the issue. I know that's what fans focus on. But QB is not the main issue!

    But I've seen multiple threads from people who have "run the numbers" who say a QB that can run the system is all we need.****

    It's all on the QB**

    It is the second biggest issue on our team. When the first biggest issue on your team is not being able to block, you better have a quarterback that can get out of the way.

    Nah, biggest issue is coaching/scheme attack plan vs the 3-8. Then it's Oline, though that's not really fair given we are asking guys to block 1 on 1, on an island, against SEC dlinemen who know we are going to pass and who don't have to respect a run game or a running QB. Then it's below average talent at WR. Then it's youth and size at RB. And last but not least, it's the QB.

    Mike Leach had a 7-2 record against that same "SEC program" running the same scheme against the same caliber athletes he faced 2 weeks ago. He did it against USC and Oregon as well as Texas and Oklahoma and Ole Miss. This isn't a scheme problem and he's attacking the defense the same way he did at other programs. If you want to argue he doesn't have the athletes to run his scheme yet and he's stupid for doing that before he gets his athletes, ok. That's just a difference of opinion. If you think this isn't going to work all together, you are going to look like a fool in a year or 2. Our quarterback play (with KJ) is about as bad as it can possibly get. Osirus was a complete baby on that catch at Kentucky, but KJ has been by far the bigger of the problem out of those 2 groups.

    Starting KJ ain't gonna help our future. I'm just shaking my head IF KJ starts.
