As of today, Our Defense is ranked 99th! Offense 95th!

[BlackSailsDawg]

That's worse than JoMo! And we RIGHTFULLY fired him in 2 years!

[msstate7]

We were 104th in total offense in 2020

You and covid! LOL! we took 46 players to UGA. For most of that season we had less than 50. But keep preaching man! Keep preaching.

We were playing a lot of true freshmen as well.

And played Zero OOC games to help pad those stats. So far this year we've played 2 cupcakes and 1 SEC game.

I bet Covid only affected our team that season.

You're probably right. We did after all put up an offensive clinic against tulsa...

60 plays
271 yds
4.52 per play

2023 off per play vs FBS teams: 4.79 per play

I know this is a crazy thought, but maybe the drastic offensive change in 2020 led to some growing pains... perhaps the same is true this season.

In leach's 3rd game, we put up 295 yards vs Kentucky and scored 2.

[Commercecomet24]

Here's the deal. The early returns have not been good, but like it or not we're gonna have this oc and offense for at least 9 more games so why don't we just let it play. If it sucks by seasons end there'll be plenty of time to bmc, otherwise we're just rehashing the same arguments over and over until then.

[msstate7]

In 2020, here's games 3 thru 6 total yardage...

Kentucky 295 (45th total D)
aTm 217 (9th total D)
Bama 200 (32nd total D)
Vandy 204 (121st total d)

We were 104th in total offense in 2020

Once AGAIN ... no spring installs, COVID, and a true freshman backfield.

That IS NOT the case here.

AND a 10 game all SEC schedule. No pansies like we played in 1st 2 weeks this year.

We scored great in game 1. Game 2 we saw the drop 8 zone. That defense was still giving us trouble last season some

[BlackSailsDawg]

I bet Covid only affected our team that season.

Nope... but it hit us extremely hard. How many starters for UGA were out for the UGA game that we lost by 4?

But I tell you what, you keep preaching it. I'm done with that.

The passing offense ranked 20th in the nation. Our RBs averaged 4.5 in SEC only play. LOL!

Last year Will never looked downfield long enough to know if it was or wasn't.

If you wanna compare this year to last fine, but comparing 2020 to any year and insinuating the Air Raid sucked is bullshitto. But folks still wanna do it cause they hated the Air Raid.

And I'm not saying fire Barbay yet. If ZA slacked up on S&C and practices as some have said, then I would blame him more.

To be 99th does suck tho given our 1st 2 opponents, even with LSU results.

ETA: And defensively there aren't any good excuses.

We don't seem to be putting our players in the positions to make the plays thus far.*****

You could argue that not having a spring while trying to install a new system affected us more than those who were not making a philosophy change.

aTm 217 (9th total D)

I remember when we had all of those seniors who had been at MSU for five and six years in 2020.**

Here's another key difference- Barbay told all of us he would adapt to our personnel. And he has not. At least with Leach we knew there would be some growing pains.

This too! Barbay said precisely that. Leach let us know no one was staying and he was starting over, with a bunch of freshmen. And a 10 game all-SEC schedule.

[msstate7]

Lane kiffin was rookie coach at OM in 2020: 3rd nationally in total offense

Sam Pittman was rookie coach at ark in 2020: 66th nationally in total offense

As another person pointed out. We were told our best 11 would be on that field. Why are we playing a true freshman OL at TE? We all know he isn't going out for a pass. Is Goede better than Creed? Thomas? Mosely?

No


So why are we not getting our best 11 on the field?
