re: Predict Miss State's record this year...

Asking about State's record not auburn.

I see a bunch of roster names that any team could list. You're switching from a 3-4 to a 4-3 which is an entirely different defense with different personnel and you're telling me you're 10 deep with no dropoff without recruiting a top 20 class and the players you need to run a 4-3?

Huh-uh....ain't buying it.

30 front personnel and 40 front personnel are different skillsets and usually different body types. You have a roster full of kids you recruited for a 30 front. I don't believe they all just made the leap to different gaps and nobody missed a beat, 10 deep. That's an entirely different defense. I don't care how many stars they have.

I'm aware your 1s are really good. That's not 10-11 deep.

15-0.

Still running a 0 gap scheme, and we only ran a base 30 for one year, so the personnel is fine.

That being said, you aren't being bullshitted, we do have almost too many quality DL's. 10 deep wasn't a stretch. Our 3rd string DE's (Marquis Spencer and Fletcher Adams) would start at some if not most other schools in the conference. Both were 4* guys, who were recruited by everyone, and have been outstanding. Legitimately isn't fair to call them 3rd string as they will likely take as many snaps as the listed 2's.

I know it sounds ridiculous, and it is, it's honestly a conundrum I've never seen before.



As for the record, there is no way to know. I like Joe Mo and so far everything seems good, but the truth is a new coach is always a question mark. But there is more talent on the roster than we've ever had at any point in our history, which is reason to be excited.

10 and 3 (Counting our bowl game win)

There’s a whole sig bet thread on this Nostradumbass.

6-6. Way overhyped.

You’ve been listening to too many of your Okie friends that think they know defense. This myth that it takes drastically different players to play a 4-3, 3-4 defense is really stupid. No defensive coordinator in the history of football has ever said that. Truly elite lineman don’t care. The position State has an abundance of elite players is the DL. And yes, the 3rd stringers have players that are being projected to be NFL draftees. No one says State is like that at every position but DL just happens to be that way at the moment. Really isn’t debatable if you go by what every other teams coaches say. Along with every NFL scout. And every draft analyst that’s out there. But I guess we should take the opinion of a hick Okie that just got his football knowledge from his wife’s boyfriend.
