That an interest way of saying Dan Mullen had one season of over 3500 yards passing at MSU. Which was 2015, That year they average 316.4 yards passing and 144.1 rushing.
I'd say it's a factual way to say Prescott had back to back outstanding passing seasons, 3,449 yards in 2014 and 3,793 in 2015.

More to point, it reveals that MSU's per game scoring was better in 2014 when it had a better running game.

It also says that Mullen's biggest career mistake was not taking some better job following one of those two seasons. He was never going to get a better player than Prescott, nor win that division with Msu talent. Could've saved himself a lot of headaches(So Alabama if nothing else) by leaving then. And to take it a step further, could've saved us a lot of headaches if he'd been hired here over McElwain at the close of '14. Guess that's more of a Foley issue though.

Only one season while Mullen was at MSU did we have more yards.
So Mullinz eked out few offensive wins vs Butters and Chump, but lost once.

:lmao2: yeah that is certainly confidence building.

Its a rough time for Swonkers right now with the supposed 2* back up QB Trask playing like a 5* due to the coaching of Donnie Millens.

It looks like a variation of a basic play called "POWER". (A lot of high schools run that like 50% of the time. Crete probably has power playing in his head while taking dumps and masturbating.)

At first glance I thought it might be a combo block but I don't think so. The left guard is trying to get to the LB from the get go, but the right DE pushes the left OT inside squeezing the path of that guard and gobbles up two blockers. It's why no one else in the SEC uses 220 lb DEs and 240 lb DTs. (It's also why the part of the board that thinks our real DTs suck bc they don't make sacks are DUMB AS FVKK.)

No one really messed up, LSU just had a guy who gobbled up two blockers.

(If it were a combo block then the LT should have been the one to pull once the DE crashed inside and handed off the DE to the guard. Again, I don't think so but the angle isn't the best.)

The TE actually holds his block reasonably well in that.

The play should work on paper but in reality it's too many butts in too small of a space. I'd also say the pulling guard looked a little slow. (It is Bleich on second glance.)

As for cutting outside, that outside LB being blocked by the TE is in pretty good position to control the edge. He does a good job of extending his arms and keeping the TE off of him. He can move outside if he needs to and the ILBs will be strafing too if he does that. Obviously there is a safety (I think off the screen. That looks like the right CB following Cleveland. Obviously, man coverage and probably 1 high.)

As for why the RB follows the guard, it's pretty simple. If they don't run the play as designed, absent something like the contain backer slipping, then they get benched.

Some of you coaching gurus correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes. And the end did a pretty good job of forcing Perine inside. Don’t think it’s 1 high tho. I counted 10 on my screen leaving I presume a corner on the outside receiver.
Crete masturbating to the play, while accurate, was not an image I needed in my head.

There is no outside receiver (on the left). Pretty sure they guy who moved w Cleveland when he moved tight/wing.

I counted 11 Gators and 11 Tiggers (I think but it was late last night). Im assuming CB isnt out there alone w no WR out there.

You realize after lighting up college football for over a decade at UF, Spurrier produced exactly one 3500 yard passing season in 10 years at a second tier program.

And it was against the vaunted 2014 SEC East, which is almost identical to the SECW 2009-2017.

Location matters.

Facts - smacks.....

yeah I wasn't going to remind him that postseason game stats werent counted back then, so basically another 300 yards each for the championship game and the bowl. Plus you now have a 12-game regular-season instead of 11, so one more cupcake against a Towson for another 300-400 yards.

But he knows that, so I don't have to remind him.

Just to be clear, outside of 2005, which of the 10 years of Spurrier’s time at Usce that I referenced, didn’t have a 12th game?

What was, or was not counted, back in the 90’s is completely irrelevant. The credit for Spurrier’s time was granted. It was his performance during current time, and rules/games, that was in question.

I expect better of you.

Oh.... my bad. I thought we were comparing 90s stats to today.
