    They have us at 9-3. As I said- This is Leach's only shot at 10 wins at State. This is his high water mark as State coach. Enjoy this year

    I guess by the standing they have us losing to Bama, Georgia, and Arky. I'll take that today.

    8 wins is a good year.

    Programs build on momentum, I’d assume Coach you are saying this is Leachs only chance based on NIL. That may be true, it’s yet to be seen if traditional program building based on wins/success is possible in the NIL era. I think it still is possible, we just don’t know how much impact NiL will have.

    Leach has built strong programs as the smallest poorest school in P5 conferences twice. If it can be done in this era He would be the guy to do it.

    I think nil hurts Bama more than it helps. Programs like tamu who are not elite and underachieve but have lots of cash will obviously have an advantage.

    I'm sure we will have plenty on here who say every SEC team we beat is "having a down year" and look for reasons to discount it as legit.

    Outside of our fanbase, most people think Leach is a fantastic coach who will take us to great heights.

    It will be legit to me, and I feel like many others will feel the same way.

    I'll bite...

    I've seen you say he should lead us to a good year this year, but haven't noticed this specific take... What makes you think this will be his "only" shot at 10 wins at State?

    Same way everyone says that when you talk about how dominant JWS was hugh. For 4 years we were the best team in the SECW back then.

    Aub finishes where they predict, then yeah Aub is down.

    Someone has to finish last so at least one or two is going to have a down year.

    Wrong. If true then why did we have to beat out no one to get him? We didn't even have to beat out WSU.

    I'm not a Leach hater but have a little balance to the narrative.

    "Most people" meaning college football fans, journalists, and experts, not university presidents and ADs. He doesn't interview well by all accounts.

    And Wazzu would have loved to keep him, but couldn't come close to the salary we were offering, not to mention the prestige of being in the SEC.

    Offensive continuity is imperative and the only way to achieve it is for guys to have "time" in the system and this 22 season Leach will have more guys who have been involved for 2+ years and it'll be another 2-5 years til he has that again. JMHO

    Usually once the air raid gets going it reloads , especially true with the q b position. Guys wait their turn and it’s surprising how good the q b replacements are after holding the clip board while running the system in practice. I haven’t ever really seen air raid drop off on offense. It’s usually been the defense that has given leach programs ups and downs over the years. I don’t see that happening here with Arnett.

    We lose alot after this season and NIL is a full go in this recruiting cycle across the country. Our recruiting will slowly get worse in football while the middle of the SEC- gets stronger with the money they spend. Plus the SEC is adding more upper level teams that will just make our schedule that much tougher every season

    This is kind of the "last hurrah" for State football
