It looks like Tyson Lee is the front-runner at quarterback. What has been your impression of him?</p>

LK: Well, we've got Chris Relf back, too, Cameron Lawrence is another freshman who came in as a linebacker that we moved over to quarterback for the spring. But Tyson is the one who's played. He got beat up at the end of last year, so we've got to do stuff offensively that he can do. When you watch him and watch him move around, it's going to be interesting to find out what he can do in our system. He looks a little bit like a Chris Leak kind of guy. Is he that guy? I don't know. Chris Leak was a heck of a football player. Tyson has to go out there and show us.</p>

is the exact opposite of everything we've been watching/hearing for the last five years.

Welcome to the bizarro world.

I normally cant stand Low because he seems to bash on state constantly and is a croom homer but this was a pretty good interview. Interesting that Lawrence was moved to quarterback and good news that Dixon is down to 220 right now.

When you're at Mississippi State, lining up in the I-formation and handing off the football is not always going to be the best thing.

You think?

What kind of shape is running back Anthony Dixon in?

LK: Watching him in the offseason and the things he's done there has been really impressive to us. Again, we're going to go through spring and put him out there and see what he can do. I think he probably played at 230 or so last year. I think he's right around 220 now and moving really well. I've been really impressed with the way he moves. He's a big back that can make things happen.
