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 can happen. Prescott averaged more than 3,600 yards over 2014-15. The MSU offense was more balanced and potent overall in 2014.

We probably could throw for 4k if we would actually focus on the passing game instead of our anemic run game. Normally I am all for establishing the run but we have a few OL guys with as much skill as I see on Saturday's watching my nephew's third and fourth grade football games....

Not many teams could line up against us if we put Van, Grimes, Pitts, Swain, Hammond, and Cope out there.

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.

Well, it was only 9 years.

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.

Yes, he also gave up play calling in year two or three.

Exactly why Ive said no all along to those who kept mentioning wanting him back. His usefulness is as a playcaller. He is no CEO.

Fair enough. But it's not as if he turned his back on the offensive side all together. He just recognized he wasn't going to be able to do the same things where he was because he couldn't get the DW's and Hilliard's of the world like he could at UF. Ultimately he could've been more of a CEO at a place like UF and produce better overall offense. Just like none of Meyer's teams at Utah were like what he put on the field here or Osu. The location changes things.

Yeah, just not once every nine years.
Just for grins...

2009 - 4463 (UF had more)
2010 - 5217
2011 - 4643
2012 - 4957
2013 - 5647
2014 - 6679
2015 - 5986
2016 - 5723
2017 - 5442
2018 at UF - 5547

Only one season while Mullen was at MSU did we have more yards. Point - as usual, you are wrong.
