We drove the ball down Oklahoma State's throat the first drive. After that, they started trying to jam LaDarius Perkins up the middle. Then, when they put Josh Robinson in and he was gaining yards on these runs, they'd pull him out and either run Perkins up the middle again, or try those abominable out-patterns where Russell throws the ball After the receiver makes his cut.
Historically, MSU coaches always seem to go away from what works. In 2004, Croom let Omarr Conner run a spread offense in the Florida game, and we won the upset. Naturally, we go back to the Gulf Coast offense right after that game.
Rockey Felker was famous for this. He'd run Tay Galloway up the middle 12 straight times, ignoring his outside speed and some of the good receivers we had at the time. Against USM, David Fair had some great runs, so naturally we stopped giving the ball to him for the rest of the season.
Mullins is getting paid nearly $3 million a year, he needs to figure out what his team does well and actually do it.
