    Word is spreading that the two WR Freds are showing out

    Can anyone with more knowledge than I, add to this?

    Heard they are both doing well at practice. Thses two are kinda wild cards that could give us a huge boost if they are explosive.

    I read somewhere the other day that Fred Brown is currently running a 4.4 40. If that's true, combined with his already known strengths, he's going to be ridiculous.

    Bob Carskadon said Fred Ross will be pushing rojo for starting spot within a few games

    I'm on record as saying that I think this could be a breakout year for Fred Brown. Dude has serious skillz. And I wouldn't be surprised to see Ross make some progress.

    Ross was high on Okie Lite's board when we snatched. He may have even been their number one WR. If Gundy saw something there with his known abilities to coach offense, there's something to the kid.

    wasn't Ross turning heads the minute he stepped on campus and was playing a lot early until he got hurt?

    Ross is my pick to lead the receiving corps in yards or catches next season. Yes, over bear and everyone else. Something about him makes me think he will be a star. Of course, I've been wrong before, but I truly feel that way. Seen some (little) of him, but he's seemed like he's got serious ability from it.

    Agreed. I'm high on him for that very reason. Anyone Okie State wanted badly at WR is probably pretty damn good. Just don't know if this is going to be his breakout year with RoJo in front of him. RoJo is a badass that brings serious physicality to our WR corp. And he's a very good run blocker, which can't be underestimated in our offense. That's the biggest question mark I have for Ross. Can he run block and is he willing to? If not, he'll be a fixture on the bench.

    I just hope Dak/Damian can feed all of these WR's because we have probably the deepest corp ever at MS State.

    SEC rushing leaders win championships- not SEC passing leaders...we have to throw because we want to- not because we have to

    Yep... I'm hoping for 70% run this year. Run. Run, run then run some more.

    I want to run and run until we can bring safeties up and hit hr's in the passing game. Do we have a hr hitter or 2?

    WMD concurs. I'm going to be pissed if we aren't at least 65% run this season. Let our OL & RBs batter opposing Ds this year. Ugly it up, wear 'em down, then break hearts in the 4th.
    It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22

    I don't want to see us get too cute either. Run the football but when it's open throw it.

    Balance wins. Even Bama is balanced.

    Yep, and this has always been Mullen's goal. We will be balanced, and we should be. We have the running game and should have the passing game to keep teams constantly off-balance. This won't be your typical State offense where we have to run because we can't throw.

    As Mullen talked about with McIlroy, even the zone read now has a passing option. If it's open, take it.

    So if we run it 64% of the time and go undefeated, you'll be pissed?

    Why do you put absolute percentages on things?
