Game Thread: beat the corn dog edition

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

The fact that our coaches have watched every snap that Wright has taken and have decided that Will gives us the best chance to win, tells me all I need to know about Wright as a starter.

You trust THIS coaching staff???

The group we returned a lot of (front 6) is what's really sucking. That and the schemes/playcalls. Like the front is getting blown back for 8 yard runs up the guy and getting ZERO pressure. DBs are being put in bad spots due to covering for long times, being told to give 10 yard cushions, and having safeties cover Nabors. That's not their fault.

Seriously though, the DL is terribly coached. They have ZERO moves. Not a bull rush, swim move, twist, no hands, etc. They just get beat every play.

We've recruited poorly on both lines. A ton of soft OL were signed. Several are gone already. Coaches refuse to put best players on the field too. Bell is better than Cam.

Yeah, it attracted a bunch of guys that couldn't beat out this Millsaps backup we have starting.

Can't argue this one. Historically Leach wasn't recruiting the top tier folks at either position, other than Crabtree.

He was a do more with less coach, which is also Dan Mullen. We need another one of those now. But I will add ... Mullen made damn sure to get the top Dlinemen in the state.

Losing Wheat and Forbes has hurt us worse than we know.

Agree

Will is trash. 1 play doesn't dispell it. He goes to the top of his drop and stands there. He never steps into the pocket which gives any edge rusher an easy sack. Most of the sacks are his fault. He never throws the ball away and always a sitting duck.

It really did. We don't have anybody with instincts in the secondary.

[msstate7]

If you flipped daniels and will, this game is closer

Again, if our only issue was lack of pass rush and a CB getting burned I'd agree.

But we look awful everywhere, and the playcalling makes no sense. We have bigger problems than JUST lack of talent

Lol. Great point. And no.....

Until we have someone at the most important position on the field that can be a threat....none of the losses anywhere else on the field matter. It starts and ends with the QB. Yes we have to stop people, but today we could have the 85 Bears D and it wouldn't matter bc our QB is immobile, low confidence, weak arm, and often poor decision making. But it's hard to put it all on him, when a lot of the blame goes on the coaches that keep running him out there to fail

I'd say we'd be kicking their ass.

It'd be tied in the worst of cases.

And Arnett wins his argument.

These same coaches put Wright in for sparks when we needed them earlier. I guess making positive plays is no go for this offense.

Idk, they're still more talented. Having a good qb is such an equalizer though. We gotta find a dual guy

[Apoplectic]

refs trying to sell some Dr Pepper - we just so 5hitty

[chef dixon]

That was definitely a play on the ball

[CadaverDawg]

Yep. Flip the score. Facing a QB like Will Rogers is a DC's dream. Just stop the run and bring pressure. He isn't escaping, and he won't beat you deep. Worst case scenario you give up an 8 yd comeback route and you tee off again next play

Everyone acting like Arizona's D was soooo much better. Watch. They suck. The season will show it

doesn?t matter - you can go thru the receiver
