Today reminds us why

6-6 is a good year at MSU

6-6 is not a good year. That should be the floor now. If you don't recruit 2 star kids at QB after you mismanage the Dobbs/Sandberg Fiasco this wouldn't be an issue today. He's gonna go down with his buddy Hev like Croom did. 2nd year in a row the O-line sucks. This loss was catastrophic. Bad bad loss. Very bad loss.

 

[EngDawg]

Nobody is questioning how bad today's loss was. But the fact is, at MSU, .500 is about the best average we can hope for.

I can already see what Dan is trying to do. He is trying to manage the team to a 6-6 season trying not to lose the easy games instead of trying to win them. Did we even attempt a pass over 20 yards? I didn't see an attempt but I did see a few of them that were open

Williams can't throw more than 15 yards.

 

[VillagepeopleDogs]

Will be this year.

 

[VillagepeopleDogs]

He can throw more than 15 yards. Hell, I can throw more than 15 yards. He just can't complete a pass more than 15 yards.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Dobbs? Hahaha. He wouldn't be the answer either, dude.

I disagree. We have been on the edge of elite with a 3 star QB (who was also a very special talent). We "can" accomplish things beyond 6-6.

hev sucks (always will)
Our secondary is bad but.....we have done it before with Slay, Calhoun, Banks whom were all recruiting starless talents).
QB looks like a real rebuilding year (maybe the relf coast offense with Fitz can help us survive i.e. power running. I doubt it.
Williams is what you saw today with no higher ceiling...no one is going to be afraid of anything we saw today on O.
We have talent at skilled pos, but our 17ing yankee refuses to play anyone but a 150lb chihuahua at RB, and a guy who may be the worst guy on the roster with the ball in his hands......in other words our personnel selection sucks NEZ sweaty ball sack.

Each year we get 3 more or less guaranteed wins provided our coach doesn't have his head up his ***. Then you get uk that we should be better than. Then you get three games against um, ark, and an OOC that we should more or less split with if we just perform to expectations.

So if we just perform, we should average 5.5 wins ignoring the fact that we will sometimes play candy, usce, and Missouri from the east , so .500 isn't the best we can hope for. It's slightly (very slightly) outperforming our resources.

We can and will have good seasons every now and then, but we will also have crappy seasons. 6-6 is a realistic average with 8-4 our ceiling 90-95% of the time.
