I'm watching these games, and I'm looking at Simmons, and I can't stop thinking "we got a chance".

If the run blocking can catch up to the pass blocking this offense will be tough to defend

Plus just waiting on Hardy.

Team kind of has that 2013 vibe to them. Well maybe not the O-Line.

They have oline and QB problems. Mateer is very overrated

Same. And I’m trying to temper my excitement. But damn.

They are going to need Simmons to be the real deal and for the line to gel by the time they go to Starkvegas. Kamario Taylor is a problem.

I kept thinking, "Why didn't we have in last year, or the year before."

MU never hits on all 8 cylinders in the same season.

What we need is Hardy at full strength so we can do one of those 45-15 TOP games.

I think they are close. This isnt the first season Jones has had questionable OL play to start the season. There's a lot of timing, technique, and communication involved in executing OZ at the level expected. The only issue is that there arent four games to get the timing and checks up front ironed out before conference play. We have seen the results when it hits. When it doesnt hit, you get 3 yard losses on 1st or 2nd down are behind the sticks. Simmons has thus far shown the arm talent to offset the running game as it finds its way. The defense has to continue to do its part as well.

If State can get out of Columbia East undefeated next week, we will be looking at a night game at Wade Davis between undefeated ranked teams. They will have people hanging off the lights and every damned one of them will have a fricking cow bell. That will be a hard earned victory.

Anthony Evans is their #1 and he is in the slot. Johnson looks like the 3rd read in Lebby's offense

Fully agree. Kid looks legit, and might be the best QB in the SEC this year.
