Should have planted their QB several times and I guess we don't want to cover the guy out of the backfield. But that long pass play before half should have never happened. Ball should have been picked but our DB's must have been looking at the cheerleaders.

[Maverick91]

Will rogers is a 4th year starter and holds SEC records and was pre season All SEC based on name recognition. The coaches can't just bench that regardless of how the backup looks. But if WIll proves he sucks on the field, then the media doesn't crucify the coaches for making a change

Bump-you gotta make him throw it to prove it.

[R2Dawg]

Missed FG and defensive backs shit bed on back to back plays. Should be 17-0, minimum.

Agree on Will. Lack of mobility is a killer.

True, last two minutes a complete crap show.

[Turfdawg67]

If Will can't even throw a pass then he should not be in there

Seriously! This is the only smart statement of the night... unless there was a "Jimbo sucks" one I missed. Why, oh why is he in there if he's only gonna hand it off to Woody? Put Wright in and give us a dual threat instead of a zero one.

[maroonmania]

Well we gave away 3 points because we stupidly went for 4th and goal on the first drive out at the 4. At the 1 or 2 I could that but from the 4 you need to take the points.

We can say to let Will throw it 40 times, but look at what we HAVE seen from him- 8 attempts, his 2 deepest throws were misses of wide open men, he's a sack threat every dropback because he has no mobility. SELA he made zero nice throws there too.

Fact is, maybe barbay isn't letting WIll throw it because he knows Will CAN'T throw it

"Will has records of course he can throw it!!!" you might say. Yes, Will has records throwing it 5 yards. I broke down his numbers compared to other Leach QBs and Will had the 2nd worst combo of Y/A and QBR of any of them. Same system, same coach. He's just not a good QB if his stats are worse than the no name low 3* QBs Leach always used

[BankerDog]

Either let Will throw it 40 times a game or put Wright in there and run the GD Relf Coast. It is not rocket science. But Barbay sure is making it seem like that.

We should?ve either kept Miller and Hollingshead with Will as our QB or go get Barbay with a transfer. We have good enough WRs but our QB can only hit middle of field throws. He can?t get it to sideline or push it up field. Mr. G5 is back..

You and I have talked about this. We did get a transfer for Barbay and it is Wright. This offense is made for him and not Will. We need to go ahead and pull the trigger.

[R2Dawg]

Our D seemed to back off the pressure too. Why did we change what was working?

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

I will agree the playcalling has sucked. Trying to get cute with Wright handoffs to Will. Keeping WIll in the game if he's not going to throw. Keeping Will in the game on 4th and short even though the defense isn't respecting the pass and we just have WIll handoff. I think Barbay thought "well I can run it for 9 anytime I want, maybe I should try some of the funky stuff" and lost our rhythm

[Turfdawg67]

Dumbest damn decision ever to try and turn a passing team into a ground and pound offense.

Dude... we are running down their throats. Woody has close to 100 yds in the first half. You just gotta mix it up some...

[maroonmania]

I feel like we will end up losing because Arizona has a passing game and we don't.

[tireddawg]

We got a transfer

[civildawg]

Our offense is terribly boring right now and the crowd is so out of it because of the offense

[BlackSailsDawg]

No qb is going to get in a rhythm throwing that few times.

You all seemed to be pissed about reality. The OC is making the calls. Not the qb no matter what qb is in the game.

[CaptainObvious]

I feel like we will end up losing because Arizona has a passing game and we don't.

They don?t really have a passing game. Because their QB isn?t a statue!

[Dawgface]

Running the triple option with a QB that runs at a snails pace

I've joked that we would be running the wishbone this year but we would actually be better off running it with Wright at QB. This shit product we are running now is pitiful with Will at qb.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Barbay and Arnett need to look Will in the face and say ?we are going to throw every play this second half. If we lose it?s on you, you have it in you to make the throws. Make them or Mike is getting the whole fourth quarter.? Challenge him, become a diamond or dust. We are to freaking good this year to be so hamstrung by an inept QB.

We will loose. Maybe tell him that but for a single series, then let Wright get a full series when Will fails and go from there

[tireddawg]

4 years of playing D1 ball in the SEC and you talk about rhythm? Quit making excuses for Will. His job is to execute when called upon. If he can't and just gonna run the ball, Wright can run.

[Dawgology]

I feel like we will end up losing because Arizona has a passing game and we don't.

We won’t if we commit to the run and play Wright. Unless Will figures out how to complete a pass during halftime.
