Mississippi State about to be Georgia Tech West

Tech was competitive 1 out of every 3 years and now they’re in a huge hole that it will take years to fill with regards to roster management and recruiting. It made sense for them at the time because of budgetary reasons and academics but given what State has been able to do the past decade I think it’d be a step back. They’ll never win the SEC with that offense and longterm their program will suffer from the dip in athletes

Tech stayed competitive just by throwing that wrinkle at teams.

We have different definitions of "stayed competitive". And it was in a conference with shite defenses. And they still weren't competitive most years. And that was with a Triple Option coach that won championships with it as lower levels, a real TO guru.

Here's the deal...

If you could get a Cam or Dak or Justin Fields that could complete a forward pass on 3rd and long, but also be an elite running back, then the Triple Option could be a competitive offense in the SEC. Problem is none of those top shelf guys are going to come to a program that runs that shite.

Also, the triple option is a slow scoring march down the field, even when successful, which means you don't get alot of opportunities on offense, which means you need a damn stout defense to keep yourself from getting blown out early. Can a triple option coach at MsSt put together a top shelf defense too?

Its just difficult to prepare for.

Not for SEC defenses stacked for 4 and 5 star athletes. Isn't the SEC West the best div in FB, especially defensively?

Especially once the other teams begin implementing triple option defensive days during Spring, Summer, Fall Camp, and during bye weeks during the season, because they have a T/O team on the schedule every year. Exactly how Georgia handled GT every year, exactly how most of the ACC teams handled GT every year. Same will happen to Miss St, but even quicker, because the defenses in the SECW are better.

Wait, you're a reb... of course you want this for state.

They were so happy to fire moorehead

Wonder how they feel now

I just love it when Ole Miss fans are so involved in everything MSU is doing..You just need to worry about the fact that you will never compete with Alabama again unless you figure out how to cheat and not get caught.

dang tough to prepare for in 1 week but if you face it yearly, the defenses are just too fast now.

Urban Myer said he HATED playing against the offense and would do everything he could to make sure his school didn't play teams that ran the offense.

Grantham had a helluva time with it when he was our DC

Yeah, nobody worth a damn will go to a college not prepping them for the next level. the TO does not do that for the skill positions and that is the issue.

They won't get a another Dak. I would imagine that Shrader would bolt and the new kid that is a Pro style QB.

They have not recruited well at WR for years until Moorhead. Those 4 star WRs will bolt that they just signed.


And as you mentioned in another thread, by the time Ms St figures out this doesn't work, the rebuilt will set them back 4 years.


It appears the AD was not wanting to make a move and coward to idiots.

Make the move next year, and you are golden with an incoming class and available coaches or see the result of Moorhead building the passing game. He even had Hill coming back!

Dumb arse move by State

We ran something like it this year when our 3 QB’s went down. I actually thought it was fun to watch because I knew a big run was coming but it’s not something that I would want to have as a permanent scheme. Helps when you have someone like Lynn Bowden to run it.
