We enjoyed it while it was happening but even then bitched cause we couldn?t break through.

Now we have a 100% passing offense. I mean, Leach never surprises me with his play calls. I know exactly what is coming with every snap. And it sucks. Here is what I would do to help.

1. More called jet sweeps. Have we even called one the first two years?

2. You only have 4 plays, why not go hurry up when it benefits us? Our routes are easy to have check downs. We have to force the defense to think and take chances jumping routes. Then we can exploit it. It also allows Will to get into a rhythm.

3. We have to advance the ball down field against the zone. Right now they only have to defend 11 yards and mostly the first 5. I want 20 yard throws with YAC.

Either that or go ahead and admit we are only winning 4 games from here on out.
It is definitely more of an MSU thing when it comes to football. We are the poorest football team in the conference when it comes to spending money on football. You get what you pay for. We improved under Mullen and also spent more money under Mullen on facilities etc.

You have to spend money to make money. Look at all of the other SEC home games and then look at ours. I haven't turned on many CFB games outside of maybe a KY game that the stadium wasn't pretty much packed. We played a team from the ACC that many considered to be a contender on a night where we were honoring our national championship team and the stadium may have been 60% full and thats a big maybe. Outside of the student section there were tons of seats open and it looked bad on TV.

Fan support isn't there and we spend zero money on recruiting compared to others in our conference. No surprise that we are getting bottom half of the SEC results. Those complaining should open the pocketbook up and make a donation instead of coming on here and bitching about cheap results when we are a cheap program.
