1. It is time to make the switch. I appreciate what Blake has given us, because damn he gives us everything he has, but this is the time. You have 13 days to install a game plan that Kamario can execute and gives you a chance. Ole Miss has had trouble with mobile QBs. I think making them play 11 on 11 helps you in the run game and it also can free up deep shots, where OM has been susceptible.

2. Our RBs have to give us something. Anything. I know the line is bad, but damn. We are getting nothing from Bothwell or Booth.

3. If Thompson cannot go against OM, which I think he will be able to by the way, we need AT LEAST three more pass catchers to step up. Rickey Johnson and Magee probably need to transfer out because it will not be them. Ayden needs to step up and embrace that this is the time to show up and show out.

4. Our line is shit. Complete dog shit. That is on Leach, Miller, Arnett, Friend, that other line coach we brought in, Lebby, and Kennedy. It is not on Phil Loadholt but he is not absolved of blame. He is not putting a cohesive unit out there and I still have seen no improvement from Jimothy Lewis. Hell even Reese sucked last night.

5. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, get rid of David Turner. He has now officially wasted Trevion Williams. He has not developed Bingley-Jones in 2 years. Burroughs still cannot play more than 3 plays at a time. Go drop a bag on Bo Davis? desk in New Orleans and get this shit fixed.

6. Our LBs were ok. I actually have been really impressed with the development of Nic Mitchell. He still is not great but he flies to the football and he tends to make the play when he is near. Smith and Lockhart are going to be great for us next season if they can develop and we hold onto them.

7. Back on to things that need to go, Corey Bell, COME ON DOWN. Development is bad, technique is bad, and recruiting is bad. Hell even Kelley Jones looked bad last night.

8. It is probably time for Coleman Hutzler to go. It looked like it had gotten better but that was a mirage. We need to go out and pull a big fish.

9. Continuing with things that need to go, Cliff Odom it is your turn. Your special teams are a disaster. You have now TWICE this year had a guy commit a penalty on a FG try that ends up giving the other team a 1st down, in which they score a TD. You punted to the best damn returner in the conference in the Texas game, and last night your snapper could not even get the snap back to the holder. Ferrie did make a couple of FGs so good on him.

10. Lebby needs to give up playcalling. It is that simple. He is never going to reach his potential as a HC if he keeps obsessing over the offensive play calls and game plan.

11. Black Friday will be bad if we come out like we did last night. It is probably going to be bad anyways but Florida is not very good and should have beaten OM last night. There is a path to victory. I do believe that path involves Kamario playing and starting.

12. This does not get better without NIL and buy in. Plain and simple. You do not have to give but do not be mad when we struggle next year and then cannot get a good HC because our NIL is in such crap shape.

13. The administration has given fans EVERYTHING you have asked for: LED lights, cleaning up The Junction, better gameday ops, interlocking, a more competitive roster. It is time to do your part. Show up on Black Friday. Cheer for Mississippi State. DO NOT BOO OUR PLAYERS. I did not think I would have to say that but after perusing Twitter last night I am saying it. That is low class. Be there, be loud, but be for US. Be together.

Keep The Fight, Keep The Faith. GTHOM. HailState
I agree with most of this. However it's too early to want to rid ourselves of Ricky Johnson and Sanfrisco Magee. They are true freshmen lol.
