I think we are going to be a...

Better passing team than running team next year. Prescott is the first QB I've ever seen at MSU that can literally make every throw on the field, our WRs are probably the best unit on the team, and I still see Shump getting tackled by the first defender most of the time.

We won't get away from smash out, its

What we do but we have never had this many options. Should be fun.

 

[mcdawg22]

If Lee gets his pass protection down, he should be the first option.

I saw Dak putting touch and arc on the passes on Sat. But he still has stuff to improve on. For example, I hope he gets that back-shoulder throw down.

No QB has had this level of WR corps to work with. Everything depends on finding someone to hold down the sideline opposite Bear so defenses can't roll coverages. F Ross in the slot is Tubby on roids.

But TE has taken a step back.

Hopefully the RB's can hit the edge. Plus, I want to see less 3rd-n-Dak.

I think im dialing up a Prescott pass on 3rd and 3 at Auburn next year, with the game on the line.

Kind of lost in the Bama, Egg Bowl and Orange Bowl losses was the fact that we put up over 400 yards a game, including 600 in the bowl game. Moving the ball was not an issue, and if we can improve in the red zone this should be a historic season on offense.

If the defense is better on 3rd down and against the pass in general we can win 10 again.

I think the defense will be better under Diaz than under Collins, at least I hope so. The secondary will stop giving up big plays, and we will do away with 1b defense when it counts.

Just please don't be the dak power up the middle that we depended on way too much last year

When did he learn to throw the deep ball?

 

[philduckworth]

I agree. Our strength is Dak and our WR's. I would play a TE maybe 30% of the time and use 2 back sets and double slot sets the rest of the time unless someone like Dontea Jones comes in and is ready to help at TE.

I'm amazed at the D. Lee love. He is ok, but if you had a draft of SEC RB's, we wouldn't have a top 25 pick in that draft. Very mediocre at RB. Shumpert is clearly the best back. Dak will probably end up being our leading rusher.

 

[Shooter McGavin.sixpack]

I think you are right. Our WR are really good with the best QB in the conference throwing to them. I guess I missed Ross being the slot guy now so I take it we are leaving Gray on the outside?

I agree that Lee looks the best right now. I'm just still not sold on Shumpert as a 1st string SEC RB. I know he went against the 1st string defense but in the Spring game he had 6 carries for 17 yards. He really hasn't shown out in any scrimmage. We need Lee and Williams to step up big this Fall.

I'm not terribly impressed with any of our backs. I think we are going to pound it inside with Shump and Lee. And then we are going to give carries to Holloway and Dear to get some explosiveness back there. It's not an ideal situation, but if Knox/Mullen can mix and match efficiently then we can have a good ground game. We need to sign a big time back.

 

[Palos verdes]

Running game will be fine. Lee is a stud. I've been saying this for over a year now, and if he stays healthy, he may break records at State. Williams is more of a shifty back and will get better. Shumpert looked great in last year's EB.
