Bo Bounds Thinks MSU Wins 7 Games This year

[AusTexDawg]

Moorhead is basically Dan Mullen without the massive douche factor...
Bartoo called Chad Morris the worst hire in the SEC yet has Arky winning one less game than us. He called Moorhead an inspired hire that proves MSU wants to take another step forward in the West, yet we will only win 7 games. His shit just doesn't make sense half the time.

Like many others, Bartoo's thinking seems to be that Mullen elevated MSU and that the team will regress to the historical mean. That line doesn't make sense, because, for all of his challenges on the recruiting trail, Mullen did a pretty good job bringing in some good players and developing others and those players didn't go with him to Gainesville.

That said, Bartoo mentioned that having a new coach can lower the expected win total, and that is possible. If we roll into the Little Apple on September 8th with an offense that commits some turnovers and isn't running smoothly (something similar happened when JoMo got to State College), a typical Bill Snyder-coached team could steal what was an expected win. That would be an example of "new coach effect." (FWIW, I'm not expecting that - our defense should be able to manage the game against a typical Bill Snyder-coached offense and our 2017 offense is closer to JoMo's than what Penn State was running before his arrival)
