You think the coaches are speculating this as well?? Really??? You can't think that. This is all by design. I would bet my mortgage that Mullen has laid out how series are split at QB for South Alabama, and how reps are going to be allocated for the first 4 games of the year...but he would NEVER let that get out!! You want kids preparing right now like they're all gonna start

I think that the S. Alabama game will be a part of the evaluation for guys who are neck and neck. South Carolina will narrow down even more and by LSU we will see who the real starters are going to be.
As a matter of fact, there are some starters like Fred Ross that I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't play or play very little versus S. Alabama.

We say this EVERY year and it NEVER happens. Dan has shown us in the past that whomever starts game one is who will start the rest of the year barring injuries. "Oh don't worry about those players- we won't see Zach Jackson out there by game three."

I agree. They are a solid program even though they are new. We'll still win but as you said we're going to have to use our main guys probably into the fourth quarter.

An earlier thread stated that USA has its entire starting DL out for the year. If we can't dominate them and run the ball, we better go back to the drawing board ASAP.

They will give us trouble for a half. They have more players and our QB's are green. You guys need to understand that we are not going to be near as good as we have been the last 2 years. We couldnt run on Troy or La Tech last year

The South Alabama game will be a blowout. Their starting DL are all out with injuries. We should be able to name the score. If we don't it's gonna be a long year.

I'll take MSU -10 1/2 first half spread for as much as anyone will take.

LA Tech's rushing defense was ranked 13th in the country last year. The following week we ran for over 200 yards against Kentucky. Dak didn't play but one or two series against Troy. Not saying out running game wasn't below par last year, but let's put the games in perspective. Those 2 games plus the Kentucky game were all 20+ point wins.
ETA. So Alabama lost to NCST last year 63-13 and gave up 330 yards rushing (over 250 yards rushing 5 different games last year) and over 250 yards passing.

So Mullen and our coaching staff are about to turn into the Charlie Shira years without Dak? Yes, Dak may be the greatest MSU offensive player I'll ever see, (my late Father said that Jackie Parker was the best he ever saw), but surely our 2016 cupboard is not this bare. "Shirley", I won't have to wait decades for another good team.

We would be fine if we just use Aeris as the primary running back. I think that's the key. If we let him play and he can get 1000 yards and 10 rushing touchdown we'll be fine. If we find ways to involve Dear/Lee/Gibson even more we'll be that much more explosive and balanced. The biggest thing about Fitz is he is going to turn the ball over more than Dak- who very rarely turned it over so I'm not saying Fitz has a problem it's just who he is compared to. I don't think we can expect Fitz to be as effective a runner as Dak. I'm not saying that Fitz is bad, slow, or etc. Just that I don't expect him to be as productive as Dak running the ball.
I'm not expecting us to be fourth in the SEC this year. I'm expecting middle of the pack or lower half.

We do a lot of those things and we will have a good year. I see at least 7 wins. Hail State!

Maybe...just maybe if some of y'all think you've figured out who C34's alter-ego is, you should consider not blasting it for all to see?
It's one thing to speculate or wonder what happened to him. It's another entirely to continually point to another poster and call attention to them.
At least that's my opinion. Why would any of us...knowing what those psychotic morons up north are capable of, wish to bring that down on Lee again?
I'm not saying RP or anyone else here is Coach...but unless Coach has asked some of his inner circle to do this to poke 'em in-the-eye, I'm suggesting we cool it on calling out posters on here as being Coach.
Am I overreacting, or is discretion the better part of valor?

yeah, I wouldn't touch 14 1/2. 10 1/2, Im all in. I can easily see a 17-3 game at the half.
I actually wish USA was a little better. I would like some type of challenge before we play South Carolina. I still think we beat SC by double digits, but I would like our team to be tested a little the first week, and we won't be. This may be Jones' worst team over the last three years.
