Observations from Steve

[Tbonewannabe]

68th in PPG... tied with vandy. Vs fbs teams only, 80th

And a fg less than the year before so is making one fg the difference between a great offense and a shit one?

[Tbonewannabe]

We likely had the most difficult schedule in the country vs conference teams' defenses.

The worst scoring defense we lost to was #26 LSU.

[Turfdawg67]

What??? Uk defense gave up 4.1 a carry for the YEAR. We avg 2.0 against them 2.1 below their avg. if we avg 4.1 their avg would have been higher. In other words we helped them and fla have better stats than they would have cause we couldn't move the ball. It's not complicated. Spin it how you want.

Ok... for the 1000th 17ing time, we sucked in a handful of games where the competition was equal or better because our coach wanted HIS system implemented and run successfully as it has at EVERY other stop in his career. A mistake, sure. But GD, let it go. When our O kicks total ass this year, please return to these games as your barometer of success.

We avg'd 28.5 per game. Add 3, and we move from 68th to 42nd. Subtract 3, and we move from 68th to tied at 111th. So yeah, 3 points is a pretty big deal

I?d like to qualify which fan I am .... (in response to ?same fans?)

I?m a ....

It was time for Mullen to go. He wanted out. The fan base had lost that loving feeling.
We could have won 9-10 last year with Mullen. We weren?t beating Bama. Doesn?t matter. See above.
Fitz was a good athlete and QB. JoMo asked him to do to much.
JoMo is a helluva hire for MSU. Smart coach that.... IMO... has a complicated system for college football. Considering practice time limitations and the type guy we usually have at QB at MSU.
I hope JoMo is here a long time.
LSU and Bama and AU will expose our DL because they almost always do.... year after year

anyways..... HailState.

Its not complicated. High schools run what Moorhead wants. We will have a great chance to beat LSU and a punchers chance at Auburn. Bama at home is easier than Bama on the road. Our DL has dished out way more than it has received just about every year except for 15 and 16 and that was on Mullen for wanting to run everything. Dont believe me? Ask a player who played for him

What high school is running Moorehead's offense? Please don't say Brandon. Stop it. We're not running Auburn's offense . Had the offense been as simple as you say the team would have grasped it at some point throughout the year similar to the defense learning a new scheme and executing it effectively.

Whatever you say chief. Put some salt on your foot to make it taste better just some advice. Starkville High School runs a lot of what Moorhead wants as well.

Also its wise to not talk in absolutes about something you dont know

[timotheus]

Salt on the foot. nice. Who'd a think it, a school in MS running something like coach Mo? man won't that create interest for recruits.

[biggun]

I think more than anything Fitz was behind the 8 ball going into the year. We switched from a run first QB offense to a pass first look. That is going to go against some of his instincts that Mullen had drilled into him. Add in that he lost a step from the injury and wasn't able to take live reps in the new offense until August and it was a tough job. Fitz didn't have the experience at QB that a lot of people have at that stage of his career. He was only a starting QB for his senior year and even then it was in a triple option.

It was a tough task and Fitz did ok but a lot of our issues was in the lack of passing game. There was big issues either finding the open man or the WR actually catching the ball when it got there. Plenty of blame to go around including the head coach but QB was an issue in last year's offense. That said, Fitz was an absolute warrior and carried the team with his legs a lot of the last 3 years. Sometimes he tried to do too much but at the end of the day, he was just trying to win games for MSU. He definitely doesn't deserve to get run down all the time but neither does Moorhead.

Amen bro!!! Well said!!!

I think it’s actually the opposite. We have a puncher’s chance v. LSU and a great chance at AU.

You've spewed this same message trying to give the Brandon Qb a leg up on the offense. When did you learn Moorehead's offense? The only similarities that Starkville high and Brandon have with Moorehead's offense are handoffs, passes, and being in the shotgun.

Like I said, it is wise to not speak and let people wonder if you are stupid than to open your mouth and prove it. Maybe that was too harsh, you're not stupid you just dont know what you are talking about.

Moorhead is not some offensive innovator. He is not doing a whole lot that is unique to him. He is creative with formations and steps with RBs and H backs especially and he did a good job getting the most out of McSorely, Barkley and Stevens at Penn St. Kind of like how you saw KT getting in at WR and RB vs Iowa. But his offense as a whole is not some new thing that only he has figured out...

[BuckyIsAB****]

Its air raid passing concepts mixed it with RPO. Every play that isnt a drop back is a RPO of some kind. Some power and counter too like you saw with us last year. Moorhead ran QB buck sweep with Fitzgerald which is something he had never done. But its mainly Inside and outside zone and they all have read keys and backside options to get the ball out to take advantage of numbers. Its reading conflict players. Bama does it every saturday. Clemson does it, OM does it, A&M does it, its not Moorheads baby

[Homedawg]

I think it?s actually the opposite. We have a puncher?s chance v. LSU and a great chance at AU.

Ill go the opposite. Very little chance at auburn. And a chance at home vs LSU. As bad as we've been against LSU at home, we've been worse at auburn. And our atmosphere at home isn't the same here now as it was 20 years ago.

Whatever you say bro. It's so easy a caveman can do it except college athletes studying it everyday can't pick it up.

We will have to be something super special on offense to beat LSU. They gonna be good.

I don't think we're gonna win any of them. Just that LSU gives us best chance at home.
