Motto for MSU (by Sun Herald's Jim Mashek)

Mississippi State. We'll go with, "Goal Line? Always Dixon," reminding the Bulldogs when the game's on the line, they should be "GLAD" Anthony Dixon's on their side.</p>

Gimp. Although there's some truth to it.

running it up the middle four straight times is bad. But sometimes so is being too fancy.

Again, it's easy to forget that the third and fourth down plays were WIDE OPEN. If LSU stopped AD four downs in a row, this board would still be in meltdown over the calls. I've got no problem with the play calling....because it was successful, the execution failed in a BIG way.

I've always said I would rather lose trying to win than win playing scared to lose. It was a loss and that hurt, but I'm happy that we played to win. Bad read on 4th down by a walk-on QB. Pitch, stretch, jump, bunny-hop, etc. and we win.

thinking that LSU would crash the middle of the line looking for Dixon. They did that. The right plays were called. We just didn't make them .

I guarantee the players learned from this. Next time, we'll make one of the 4.

This may sound stupid to some, but sometimes you grow more from a loss than you do from a win. I've heard from numerous people that our guys grew up a lot last Saturday. I'll buy that.

AD>TL

AD - 6"/DL=TD

But, those are probably the only 2 plays I could have called.

The job that Mullen has done is amazing. And, if you took everything I know about coaching football, rolled it into a ball and stuck it in Mullen's eye, he wouldn't even know it was there.

I do know that I'll be fired-up and at the game Sat.

think about this. I was eating lunch at Quiznos monday, and one of our players (who was on the field for all these plays) comes in. I tell him tough loss, you know, the usual stuff. He says it was horrible, that he couldn't eat until lunch the next day. I say "well hopefully we learned from lesson from it."

His response: "yeah, run the ball."

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">In my opinion the play calls on the goal line were great. On the pass, Lee screwed it up. On the run, LSU played their *** off. On the options Lee should have pitch. It was not the play call it was either good defensive play or bad judgment or play on the QB. The only bad call that Mullen made was leaving a 5 foot 8 QB in the game while first and goal on the one.. He should have put Relf. On the pass, he is taller and would have gotten the ball to the Tight end. On the run LSU would have still played their *** off. On the options Relf or Dixon would have scored.</p>

Yes. With the post, I was hoping for more Mash bashing than further critiques of the playcalling. If I could lock this thread I would.
