What do you think the current strategy is? Let me give you a typical MSU drive.

Up the middle.
Up the middle.
Play action sack. (Occasionally a four yard curl on third and six, completed about 40% of the time).
Punt.

I'm guessing you didn't watch us light it up offensively vs. Auburn this year? 115 yards total offense?

well I would hope for ya'lls sake he's not doing the playcalling, buddy. coach Crooms is about as creative at calling plays as some of the rantards on here. he's good at recruiting and firing up guys, he should stick to that, and get assistants that can coach.

Not even close.

Anyone who thinks either of those 2 can actually compete in the League no matter who the coach is is deranged.

I don't think any State fan thinks we'll be one the big boys of the SEC but State plays 4 OCC games, ole miss & Kentucky every year. Throw in an upset or a down year for somebody else in the league and we shouldn't expect to win at least 6 games a year?

My impressin of Croom is that he took over a horrible situation. A team in disarray with no discipline and managed to turn that around somewhat. However, his teams are just plain painful to watch. I really don't know that I've ever seen less imagination offensively than I've seen watching State the last few years. Lack of talent is no excuse for play calling that vanilla.

EXACTLY!

or execution so poor from a supposedly offensive mind.
