Sunday Night Thoughts-We May Have Found A QB Between The Hedges Pt. 2

[StarkVegasSteve]

An encouraging day between the hedges yesterday sans the final score. We put together drives and had really solid effort all day, outside of the Lanier play.

1. We have something in MVB. I am not ready to crown him the heir apparent just yet and I still want to bring in Arnold if we have the opportunity, but we are not as dire at the position now as I thought we were headed into the game. MVB settled in to the game and started to show some moxie. It reminded me a little of Will Rogers going in there in 2020 and kind of establishing himself as the future of the position at State.

2. Defense is still bad, but they played with really good effort yesterday and I never thought they were out of position. Forced 2 TOs and probably should have forced at least two more.

3. I still have no clue what happened on the Lanier play. I saw today he said he thought the guy dropped the ball, but even if he did, why not just take the guy to the ground.

4. Lebby finally took the kid gloves off MVB in the 2nd half and I thought we saw him mature before our eyes. He could not hit the broad side of the barn in the 1st half from 5-15 yds, but thought in the 2nd half he settled in to the game and started finding those short crossing routes.

5. MVB can throw the deep ball, and place it, as good as any QB we have had in my lifetime. We saw it a bit last week but he consistently dropped it in the bucket yesterday.

6. Our WRs came to play yesterday and it showed. KellyA finally did what we have been expecting him to do, Traore finally played like he is capable of playing, Coleman did Coleman things, and Craver looked like his explosive self once again. We have to continue to find ways to get those guys the ball and get Mosley involved too.

7. Our run game was a disappointment at times yesterday but opened up once Lebby turned MVB loose. I still think Daniels needs to be RB1 going forward but thought Booth actually looked for the holes yesterday and made a nice catch on the 4th down TD.

8. Kirby Smart and the officials can go kick 17 rocks. If that was Lebby, they would have flagged him, fined him, and tried to suspend him this week. Kirby gets to laugh about it.

9. I thought our line looked good in spurts yesterday and for the most part protected MVB well. Like I said, run game was not where it has been, but I would not hate rolling with that group going forward and keeping Work out there at LT

10. 12 million can buy you a lot, it still cannot buy you a win in Tiger Stadium.

11. I like where we are trending and think 4-8 or even 5-7 is gettable.

12. Be great to have the 14 team back this weekend and for the love of god folks, DO NOT BOO DAN.
