All Right Lets have a Bye Week Discussion

So we are 1-3 through the bye week. When this schedule came out, I hoped to be 2-2. But if you had told me we are 1-3 at this point, I wouldn't have been too surprised with Kentucky, Texas A&M, and LSU being better. But Obviously I had LSU and Arkansas wrong.

So here's the deal. We have 6 games left and quite frankly we have 4. Just take out Georgia and Alabama. What is the issue?

Easy, horseshite OL play. If you can't block 3 DL, you can't block anyone. And that more than the whole scheme is why MSU has failed. With an adaquate OL, MSU would have some running plays and passing routes. But the OL can't even do this. I am at the point where I am concerned about any QB that goes back there. I say put Costello back there for Alabama and Rogers back there for Vanderbilt. But it doesnt matter who the QB or who the receivers are if you cant block anyone. And we cannot do that basic item.

So heres the question I ask you, where would we be with our alternatives? Well Napier has won big at ULL and lost big as well. I think we are around the same boat at 1-3. Maybe 2-2. But he wasnt a possibility unless we made the decision when it shouldve happened after the Egg Bowl. Joe Judge would be 0-4 rn if his coaching is as good as it has been at the Giants. Losing to the Eagles and Cowboys without Dak as an NFC East team is putrid. And Moorhead we would be 0-4 easily. After Arkanasas I wouldve said Moorhead couldve won that. But I dont believe that now. Theyre much better than I expected and kudos to the Pitboss.

Idk if MSU can fix a lot of these issues in a COVID year. And thats fine. Usually every coach gets a first year or so ecspecially when changing to a radical offense. So theres no need to panic atm. Ecspecially when this passing offense has been ranked in the 100s since 2016 and our first 300 yard passing game since 2016 occured this year as well.

How many wins are enough for a bowl? Idk idc. It takes 2 SEC wins in a normal year, maybe that will still be good enough to get to the Birmingham Bowl. But if youre hiring Mike Leach, you were not putting in all your chips in 2020, you were putting in your chips for the next 8-9 years.
