    More bottom line, he almost HAS to beat Ole Miss this year, and his track record with rivals is just terrible. Losing three straight times to them to open your account at MSU is not really survivable. He might hang on another year or so after it, but it will look and feel like the end of the Sherrill era or the JOMO era.
    Do you want 3 yards and a cloud of dust or Holloway's buck o five ass up the middle? I don't get the "It's boring." take at all.

    I'm not a huge fan of the Air Raid, but I'll interject here. It's no different than any other offense. When it's working, it's very exciting to watch. When it's not, it's boring.

    I think the 3 yards and a cloud of dust type offenses are boring, even when they are working. But very rarely are 3 yds and a cloud of dust offenses working; if they are not breaking off 6 and 10 yard runs, they are going to get behind the chains at some point and fail. Not too different from trying to run the air raid consistently throwing swing passes to the RB for short yardage.

    But agree with you. Not sure I've ever really watched an offense that was working and thought it was boring. I think watching an option offense when it's really working is fun, even if they are running the same three plays.

    Their are just some posters on here that will be overly negative about leach and they let that sway the thinking. Comments like, boring offense. Dink and dunk, and the whole 6-6 zero hopers out here. The guy has won everywhere and we were in position to win more than 7 games last year. Some are just letting one game from last year dictate this year

    Throwing 175 passes to the RB's is the modern version of 3 yards and a cloud of dust. This offense makes the Wing-T seem exciting.

    It IS three yards and a cloud of dust. It's almost exactly the same thing. It's just plain boring.

    Almost as boring as checking a practice thread to see the same old discussion that's been done to death.
    If it ain't broke, fix it til it is.

    Everybody wants more than 6-6. That doesn't mean we will get it. The offense IS boring. It's just like running it up the middle every play.

    Except when those RBs break a tackle and go for 15 yards.

    The Boring Crowd just doesn't like the Air Raid. To each his own.

    If we have a really good season they'll disappear like they did in the Auburn game thread last season. It was like The Rapture came b/c half the posters vanished in the second half.

    Exactly. LSU 2020 and auburn 2021 were not boring.
    KY and vandy and Aggie and ark last year too. Uga 2020. Those games weren't boring.

    When people try to press us and play man, we stretch the field. When they drop 8, we work underneath, and will work the 8-12 yard area more now that we have a qb who will be more physically developed.

    You got a point there, at least it was a thread started about the uniforms.

    If MSU runs the ball, fans want them to throw it. If they throw the ball, fans want them to run it. Never ending complaining by some. I would rather lose throwing the ball and having a chance for a comeback, than run the hell out of the ball and get down by 2 touchdowns and have zero chance to come back for a win. If the offense is played up to our ability, it will not be stopped. I believe we could be more balanced but I think Leach has us on the right path to success and this team and his coaching will surprise a lot of folks this year. I believe Leach is going to adapt his coaching style and we are in for a good year!

    That happens running it up the middle too.

    Yeah, all those corner routes to Polk last year that resulted in touchdowns were stupid boring. Not long ago we couldn't even complete a forward pass.

    YES.

    If anybody thinks those games were boring they just are being sour b/c we aren't running Dan's offense anymore. Will Rogers will cut you up underneath until you are forced to man up and send somebody.
