stAte better prey they win 6.

Prey as in pray.

State has enough talent to simply win at least 4 games in the belt, possibly more. The question is something that no one is asking: "What in the f*** is going on with the coaching staff?"

At some point, people are going to have to recognize that this coaching staff isn't doing their job. From game planning to game management, they are sucking it up this year. Last year they had help from Fredi Knighten and an opportunistic defense.

First half over every game: S*** the bed, hope we don't get too far down because I don't want to watch film during the week

Second Half: Alright, Fredi, run left, guys, block left, McKissic, go right and take the sweep, defense, just follow a guy around and try to get the ball back.

TD-TD-TD-TD-TD-TD Arkansas State

It's no coincidence that our two bad years offensively in the last 6 seasons came in years when we did not have a running QB.

Losing the strength of the read option has really hurt us this year.

Do you all remember when I said that losing Knighten was going to be a real issue this year?

And do you remember how you all said that the QB's you had coming in would be better than Knighten and you have nothing to worry about?

And I said that is BS because of how you all played without him last season.

Now look what's happening....

You are correct. Knighten was the second best QB in the last 20 years for stAte. Also losing - Gordon, J.D., Griswold, Tres Houston - they were also some of the best we have had at those positions. Our new transfer receivers are "too good to block" We can't run, our defense was overrated coming out of camp.

All that being said, I still think stAte can do some damage in the Belt and could beat Ga So. Not saying it is going to happen, but I wouldn't be shocked.

I would...if you don't block you don't win against a decent team!

Yes.
1) Don't block

But also.

2) Don't use your arms when tackling
3) Have a record number of penalties

Losing Knighten is hardly our biggest problem. Problems all around.

Might be time to "bury" this thread. I'm an App fan and it is starting to even depress me.

Pretty much.

If Anderson wants to keep his job, he's got a few weeks to figure out how to use it properly. Admins won't accept an 0-12 season regardless what he did the first two years. Too much on the line.

Pretty sad listening to post-game show and you have an all-conference offensive lineman who started on Freeze's team say he doesn't think he could have done the things our new offensive line coach is asking the players to do with that blocking scheme.

Did he get a redshirt and a medical year? I thought Freeze was HC only in '11.

He has already graduated and has no more eligibility. He helps out with the radio broadcast now.

He did get a redshirt and medical year, and 2011 was his sixth year. He co-hosts a post-game call-in show.
