regarding our offense....

[Coach34]

We averaged 26 points a game last season in Mullen's 1st season. With an OL that was learning a new offense. With Tyson Lee at QB. With an inexperienced QB in Relf coming in for a few plays when everybody on defense knew what he was coming in the game to do. With WR's that didnt have a clue about what they were doing

Now, we have a QB with experience in Relf. David Pollack from SEC Weekly called him "a stud runner". Relf is one of the top returning running QB's in the nation. And he has 2 Springs and a season under his belt. We have a decent back-up in Russell who just needs some experience.

Now we have WR's that know what to do and have learned the offense. Not only that, the guy considered to be our best WR is struggling to even keep his job because of another talented player behind him. That's how much better our WR's are. And Green is a very good SEC TE

Our OL returns almost intact. They completely understand the offense now. Pass protection should be vastly improved. This group is a strength.

We have a juco AA at RB that cant seem to beat out Elliot. People are worried about our RB's- yet somehow Auburn's juco AA QB is expected to be very good. We will be good at RB- we always are. And I seem to remember our last juco AA TB working out pretty damn well.

We averaged 26 points a game last year. We will be at 30 or more this season. Count on it.

[57stratdawg]

I keep telling you guys Heavens and Smith are going to be much better this year. There is a real chance that Heavens starts over Bumpis at least early. Obviously they're both going to play, but we have some real weapons at WR this year.

I agree we need to get the ball to Marcus Green as often as possible.

And rumor is that Saulsberry is being moved to backup guard and backup center to replace Brignone next year. Thats fine because I've heard we're dead at C beyond Brignone.

 

[22yardpunt]

** hi jack ** in order to beat Auburn, our ground game will have to be there .. absolutely has to. This is my main concern, since it's only the second game of the year. Fortunately, Auburn's defense is forecasted to be highly suspect, so maybe we'll be able to control the ball and tempo of the game. Our ground game in the matchup matchup especially concerns me due to the absence of experience at the position. If it's not there we'll be in trouble b/c we can't rely on Relf to pick apart their secondary in the 2nd half, nor isone T.R. ready to do that either.Last year, Auburn came out of the gate's really strong, but as the season progressed, their lack of depth really hurt them; thus their mid to late season tail spin. Therefore, it makes me nervous about the team they'll field as it's possible/likely that they'll still be fresh and injury free.

 

[EAVdog]

Plus the defenses in the SEC West will not be as good as last year. Alabama's D will be slightly weaker (from super awesome to just awesome), Arkansas looks to remain at the bottom, Ole Miss's defense lost valuable starters to the NFL, Auburn fans are grumbling about Ted Roof already. Some analysts are expecting SEC scores to average up this year across the board because of the amount of talent that went pro from last year's classes.

Our Defense just needs to be better than last year!

 

[Coach34]

Is that Malzaln offenses seem to slow down as the year goes by...Auburn is very beatable and deph isn't the only reason they lost 5 of 6 to finish last year

 

[22yardpunt]

we play them at the start of the season, when they seem, according to last year, to be at their best/strongest. We'll really have no idea what to expect until we get into the game. Both MSU and Auburn will smash their opponents next week, leaving the speculation up in the air.

 

[Dollabillz]

I know alot of sheep were calling for Relf last year, but I still just don't know about him being an EVERY DOWN #1, big time leader, etc etc quarterback for us. Situational, yeah he's great. But is he going to hit some of the passes Lee did last year? Yeah coaches say he's improved to the media, but I'll just need to see it to believe it.

 

[RebelShark]

</a><a title="" href="http://www.ncaa.com/sports/m-footbl/stats/ncaa-m-footbl-fbs-team-scoring-offense.html">There were only 33 teams in all of D1 that scored 30+ per game. There were some pretty damn good offenses that didn't even average that many.

I fully expect the State offense to be improved, but to guarantee 30+/game is absurd.

http://www.ncaa.com/sports/m-footbl/stats/ncaa-m-footbl-fbs-team-scoring-offense.html

 

[57stratdawg]

that the Auburn boards were saying that Newton was really struggling on short to medium passes, which was also his downside in JUCO and HS. I gotta think Mullen remember this from his at UF.

It's going to happen Rebel...and this is what pisses me off about "you people"-

<span style="text-decoration:underline">It's pretty much common knowledge that Spread teams improve a great deal their 2nd year in the offense</span>. Why does that suddenly not apply to Miss State?

And I don't know why that this point keeps getting overlooked by alot of people- I know the Egg Bowl was one game, but if you look at the advantage our offense gets by having a QB that can run it like Relf does and can handle the offense, it's hard as f*ck to stop. This ******** fallacy perpetuated by the Rebel faithful that State only beat Mississippi they didnt prepare for Relf on defense is insane. We had success because we had a good gameplan with Relf and you guys were unable to stop him. Relf out-gained Dixon on offense also for those of you that think we can't replace Dixon.

And we will do this to alot of other teams. They can't account for a running QB without over-committing to the run and going man in the Secondary. And when this happens- it play-action time.

Take some time, and just draw up some of our formations and try to plug in a 4-3 defense to cover it accounting for the numbers of blockers and the QB as a runner. You will see how hard it is to do.

the D will score at least 8 or 10 of those TDs.

30 pts a game is not totally out of the question, not in August anyway.

State will be improved and could realistically beat us again. Hell, you guys could win 7-8 games this year but you won't average 30+. Look at your schedule. There are some very tough defenses on there.

I think I can speak for everyone when I say that no gives a 17 what you or any other Reb lurker thinks.

I am not going to make any predictions about Relf's TD numbersor total points per game, but we averaged 26+ per game last year with 31 turnovers and Tyson Leetaking about 6 sackson third down to take us out of FG range.

Hell, the Rebs almost average 30 points per game last year and were one of two schools that had a worse turnover margin than us.

So, will we average 30+ a game? I dont know and neither the 17 do you; but we will find out soonenough.

Now, please go the 17 back to Nafoom and start a thread about 17ing ridiculous we are for thinking that our football program might be headed in the right direction for the first time in over a decade.

And I wonder if the NCAA is going to start snooping around in Oxford after it wraps up its investigation of the huge shitburger that Kiffin and the Orgeron left in Knoxville...

Auburn did not lose "5 of 6 to finish last year." Even taking the bowl game out, it was 2-5 in the last seven. Not a huge difference, but it wasn't like the offense was the problem against Bama and UGA.

That loss was tough to swallow but, for the most part, we were pleased with our season last year. Hopefully we will play a little better against you this coming year.

And I wonder if the NCAA is going to start snooping around in Oxford after it wraps up its investigation of the huge <span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">shitburger</span> that Kiffin and the Orgeron left in Knoxville...

 

[chew1095]

Wasn't he the most accomplished back in MSU history? He could have been all yardage for all I know, but I would guess that he was responsible for a significant number of the Bulldog TD's last year.

Sure it does and anyone that says otherwise is a fool. However, I think with Relf, Ballard, Elliott, Perkins and Hanrahan in the backfield, we will be collectively more athletic than wewere last year. I thinkthese guys will have Florida type numbers in the sense there will be a few of these guys go for500 to 600 APY (all purpose yards)this year (with Relf obviously going for more). Mullen never had a Dixon at Florida, that being a back that could handle 30+ touches a game.

Does it concern you that the most experienced WR you have returning is Markeith Summers, who hauled in a whopping 17 receptions. Does it concern you that Brandon Boldenhad more receptions last year than yourmost experienced returning WR. Does it concern you that you are about to find out exactly what Nutt's players can do now that Orgeron's 2006 class is gone. I dont know the answers to these questions. I am just asking.

Footnote for the ignorant. Relf is our QB that ran wrecklessly over your pathetically confused team last year. Ballard was a JUCO All American. Elliott was still recovering from major knee surgery for the better part of last year and average nearly 10 yards a carry in the last three games. Perkins has sub 4.4. 40 speed (closer to 4.3) and was offered by Tubberville on the spot at a camp his soph or junior year. You remember Tubberville, he knows a thing or two about RBs. Excuse us for being excited about this. You can back to your regularly scheduled program: "Living As An Ole Miss Douche and Coping".

 

[I am Al Czervik]

in the SEC. You averaged 22.5 points per game in the SEC last year. To get to the magical 30 a game you would need to average 45 per out of conference game. With your schedule you should be able to do that. This is a down year in the SEC. From what I've heard tell MSU will be the only improved team in the West and maybe the league. I think you get to 30 per game easy.

I dont buy that **** either. The Rebs overhyped 2009 season was a collosal disspointment, if there could ever be such a thing for the Cotton Bowl victor.

What's funny about last year, and I hate getting into the what if game, but had we beat LSU, we would have been 4-4 in the SEC and finished in second place in the West. LSU would have been 4-4 as well as Ole Miss and we would have had the head to head against both. So goes college football though. Instead, we finish 3-5 and in last place in the West. But I guess that is where we are supposed to be...isnt that rightRebel lurkers?

And speaking of the Cotton Bowl, that was like watching two girls slap fight. Interceptions, fumbled snaps, missed reads, sloppy defense...but for Dexter McCluster that 17ing game would still be tied 7-7 and in its 173 OT.

Yes I am concerned with the depth at WR. We are thin and will have to rely on a lot of unproven guys. Our offense is a big question mark. We can't lose Dexter McCluster and expect the same or better offensive numbers.

I am more excited to see what Nutt's recruited players can do moreso than I am concerned. I think Nutt has recruited quite well honestly.

Relf kicked our *** and he has shown that he is very capable but don't talk to me about JUCO All-Americans, players recovering from injury and generally fast players. Those don't mean **** until they prove something on the field and I can point to many examples of each.

Please get as excited as you want, that's what fans do.

Sincerely,
Living As An Ole Miss Douche and Coping

but I will never, ever be unhappy or disappointed with a trip to the Cotton Bowl and subsequent victory. Your mileage may vary.
