Year 2 of a complete overhaul for the Air Raid and we have done quite well.

[baseballnerd]

We had a shot at beating ole miss last night but didn't execute. The plays were there. They know it too. I watched with my ole miss family and they expected a loss and were sweating it out until the end.

Some of yall need to read Leach's book. Everything about him, and his philosophy and his air raid will make complete sense.

We are going to be okay.
No one is happy especially Leach and the team.

Both things can be true. We can be ahead of schedule and still upset about last night’s performance.

Im excited about the future of Leach, Rogers and MSU Football though. I expect Rogers to get some Heisman buzz entering the season. We’ve got a chance to be pretty damn good next year assuming we can find a couple OL.

Well said Strat.

The system Leach has designed works. We just need to plug in some better talent in a few critical areas.

 

[RiceDawg]

Ole Miss is just better than us this season. I don’t understand why some people can’t admit that because they’re the rival. The more experienced team won. State will be very good next season and Ole Miss will return to the mean.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Coach Leach has done a good job of implementing some effective running plays. He has never done this before. Ever.

Losing to OM is always insufferable, but losing to a 10-2 top 10 team is not inexcusable.

The plays to take control of the game were there early, and we literally dropped the ball. When OM had those chances, they took advantage. That’s the difference between a good veteran team and a young inconsistent team.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

The expectations going into the egg bowl were simply out of whack.

There is no reason we should have been a favorite in that game. Sure, we could have won that game without such garbage first half execution, but that was a 9 win, top 10 ranked team with a Heisman contender at QB, vs a 7 win, unranked team. We were granted a massive benefit of the doubt.

Great post!

Your point would be taken better if you added "slightly". Some of you guys seem to want to make them out to be vastly superior to us this year and they are definitely not that.

Shut the 17 up.

I was really encouraged about Leach working in the run game more. And I think it helped the overall effectiveness of the offense and took pressure off Rogers. I’d like to see that progress even a little more. Maybe bring in a few more creative run schemes.

We were two school record comebacks from being 5-7. Progress is progress but ours wasn't anything special. Getting Polk was huge. Kicker cost us at least a game. Better develop a running game of some kind or we won't win big.

Those games were cancelled out by Memphis and LSU. Then we also solidly beat two good teams in aTm and NC State.

We made tons of progress this year. 7-5 (4-4) is exactly what we are.

 

[Chuck Yeager]

Looking at it that way, we were also some FGs away from being 10-1 going into last night's game. And some dropped passes and FGs away from winning last night's game too. So probably a few breaks/miscues away from being 11-1 right now.

NC State has proven to be nothing special. A&M has no passing game at all, same as Kentucky. We can beat teams like that. We should.
I'd say the progress was average at best. We couldn't figure out how to start games all season long. We couldn't handle teams that throw the ball well.
We need a huge influx of talent.

I noted the kicker. It cost us one game.

You could say that we were close to being 5-7, but you could also say that we were 8 points away from 10-2. It balances out.

At the end of the day, we are a 7-5 team because we played like a 7-5 team for the totality of the season.

They are both good teams and good wins. Stop.

10-2 vs. 7-5 in the same side of the SEC. They beat us at home. The season ebbs and flows, so looking at all the data, they are a solid step above us.

 

[FlotownDawg]

So in your world, what teams are good? Georgia? Alabama? That’s it? Teams ranked in the top 25 are good teams. But you go ahead and devalue every win we got because you don’t like Leach.

SEC was down big this year. Outside of AL and GA, it's a massive blob of mediocrity. That's why OM is a 10 win team. They aren't that much better than us, but they got it done.

9 of 14 SEC teams have 7 or fewer wins. Only AR can get to 8.

NC State rumbling toward 9-3.

Stop posting, please. Your opinion means zilch.

That doesn't mean the league is "down," just that a bunch of teams were about the same quality and beat up on each other.

Excellent post.

 

[BigDawg0074]

Yeah they all played each other and took turns passing out beatings. Most of those teams will beat their bowl opponents who come in with a similar record.

You’re one of the dumbest posters here, and that’s saying something. Please tell me you’re a sidewalk alumnus. I shudder to think you earned a degree.
