    Shapen needs to spend this time preparing for his future. KR gets every snap

    If Arnett calls the defense and we give up something stupid like 56 points I don't care and wouldn't demand that he be fired. We need to get a head start on next year. If we get blown out just say "Oh, different defense didn't have his guys" and move on.

    If MSU wants us to forget the entire 2023 season surely the Mayo Bowl won't be a problem to forget.

    Go with KT. Playing Shapen doesn't help us for next year and we already benched him for the Egg Bowl.

    I'm with you and parabrave. Gotta go with KT. Every rep is a step forward in his development. I'd love to see him stay in the pocket and attempt 25+ attempts. That is if he isn't turning the ball over. But definitely want to see his passing skills improve and use the feet when necessary.

    A win would be huge. But I see it as more of an elite practice.

    This won?t work, you are off base because you lack a basic grasp of how football works. Arnett doesn?t have time to put in his defense, the previous defense will have different calls, terminology and adjustments, coverages etc, and I?m keeping this very basic. The old staff will have to go with this one.

    Arnett should spend the extra practices and the game scouting who he wants to keep. Not possible for him to coach.

    Krow should play this game. We can not afford KT getting hurt.

    This defense doesn't work. I'm talking about Hutzler's for the record.

    I know he doesn't have time to put in his defense. I don't expect that. But he can put the base in.

    For those who have gone to bowls before, when is the best time to buy tickets to balance price and best seats? Seems like I?ve heard that it?s often better *not* to go through the school.

    Too much benefit from giving KT the reps. He'll have the offseason to get well if he gets hurt.

    This isn’t something you pull from off a shelf and plug in. Damn dude you are wrong, just stop, I’m not trying to embarrass you but you are doing to yourself right now.

    Buy from the bowl itself can usually get better seats unless you just want to sit in the MSU section.

    I remember the Dogs going to Memphis Dak?s Soph season......the DOGS played better than they did all season against a good team. I remember telling a friend this team with this qb (Dak) has got the potential to be special next year. i predicted them to give LSU fits which they did and the rest is history. The only other time I had such a strong feeling is before Mullen went down and beat Fla down there. You never know but this could be a big plus......we shall see said the zenmaster.....GO DOGS!

    How many practices did we have before we played LSU during COVID the first time Arnett was here?

    I would wait bc I expect them to go down since we dont travel well past Atlanta. Wake is a small fanbase as well even if they are 2 hours away.

    Upper bowl is set to be tarped off currently but if that opens up the price will plummet.

    Dude, please just stop. The premise of a “base” defense install during bowl practice is just mind boggling. This is what you are proposing. Let’s go play a game with 9 defenders. Now before the snap we line up and yell at the other team we’re only going to do these couple of things on defense tonight so you only do stuff that we can defend, y’all good with that? Because that is the equivalent of what you are saying.

    I honestly don't care if we win this bowl or not. I want us to start to get ready for next year. Running Hutzler's defense is a waste of time at this point.
