how our offense is going to work with Mullen, Hudspeth, and Keonning?

Do they all call a play and then the QB picks one that he thinks will work the best?

and Mullen will listen in and overrule when he wants to. Much like it works at most schools.

...our coaches will make "suggestions" to the QB for the play to run. The QB will advise the players that, in an ideal situation, these are the routes that he would like them to run.

The QB snaps the ball, and within milliseconds, when it is clear to the QB that protection is breaking down and he will not have an iota of protection, the play devolves into backyard football, and the trick is to spot a halfway open receiver while running for his life before he reaches the sideline or gets eaten alive.

At least, from watching MSU, that's the way I've been brought up to believe the game is played.

Talking about coaches making "suggestions" a friend of mine told me a boneheaded thing Madkin did during the LSU game in Baton Rouge (2000 I think). We pissed away a good lead in the 4th and then we had the ball for 4th and long or something with little to no time and Sparky Woods calls a certain deep pass play (that we would've undoubtly converted, well, because, this is all rumor, hypothetical, and a fantasy anyway) and Madkin proceeds to run a checkdown draw play to Miller.

Madkin then received a giagantic verbal beatdown over the phone on the sideline. </p>
