Our backup QB

[CochiseCowbell]

Oh my gosh! It just doesn’t matter Puckett is what we have because the other 2 obviously SUCK! If KT cannot run he will be a sitting duck waiting for something really bad to happen. Play the kid, take our chances, and live with KT healing up another week. Oklahoma’s offense is not good. But their defense is SEC level and With a healthy ish KT, with 70% mobility, State can beat them. This team has a chance to finish with 8 wins. Don’t end up 5-7 by playing a hurt QB and getting him hurt worse!

And then prove your damn worth Lebby by ditching everybody but KT and Puckett and go spend money on a potential Starter who can compete with KT next year! The worst QB evaluation I’ve ever seen for us in the position. Please don’t give Lebby credit for Finding Kamario Taylor. Taylor came to State the signing class after 2-10 for gosh sakes!

Rob & Brett Morgan were QBs, Josh was a safety. Rob played some behind Matt Wyatt in 1996 & 1997.
I think Brett took a couple of knees at the end of an Ole Miss win.

You are right - got my Morgan’s confused.

As long as Puckett doesn't start with a fumble and throw a pick 6........ oh wait.

It doesn't matter who plays QB. LSU DL and LBs will be too much.

He gives me Mike Henig vibes.

I hope he turns out to be the next Tom Brady, though...seems a long shot.

Henig was a runt when he got to campus. God love him because he took a beating for the Bulldogs and kept giving it his all. Puckett looks bigger, tougher, and more capable by a long shot to me. I trust Lebby on Qb’s, but I’m not expecting Puckett to be on the level of any starter. Let’s hope he’s serviceable and can rally the team.

I wasn't comparing the two, physically, so much. However, since you brought that up, they are pretty similar there (both around 6' and 180lbs).

I was more so saying that neither was/is/should be a QB in the SEC. I don't distrust Lebby on QB decisions, but you have to admit, where we're at right now is concerning.

 

[Howiefeltersnstch]

The important thing to keep in mind is we have 7 games left. If we were 100% healthy every game is winnable. We need to get 5 of those games. Without Fluff and K1 we are not very likely to get that.

 

[MSUDC11-2.0]

Bothwell almost as important as Taylor. But if both play & are reasonably healthy, we’ve definitely got a chance to win.

Agreed. I’m not totally convinced LSU is as good as the Mizzou team we beat.

Call me crazy, but I don't think the environment will be a huge issue. 11 am in baton rouge after they just lost to KY, and no time to tailgate and cook gumbo and corndogs? It will not be well attended is my guess.

Won't be the hyped normal atmosphere that is spun about that stadium nor anywhere near full capacity if that makes a difference. Don't know if that will affect the final score.

Sitting KT is a no-brainer. Sucks you have to make the decision, but it's the right one.

Their best LB is out. DL isn’t as good as Mizz

I am a child of the Croom era, and also lived through 2023 with Mike Wright starting half our games….

Show me your worst, Billy Pisgah. Nowhere to go but up.

(I hope your foot is feeling better today, Kamario).

Wow. I had blocked out the 2023 season and the Mike Wright football we played. Thanks for the memories :/

Josh Riddell says hello

I'll take Josh Riddell over Mike Henig every day of the week

 

[KaizenMuse]

Who was the QB 20+ years ago whose family had fur coat stores in AL?

Big Arm Mike Henig!

The I would remind you that Henig beat Alabama in tuscaloosa.

The worst 5 win team I’ve ever seen.

I think Henig was a fake 6'. Is Puckett a real 6'?

Remind me how many Bama starters were out...
