Mississippi State tutor committed academic misconduct to aid 11 student-athletes

Good for us, but this is a pretty bad look for the NCAA after UNC received just a slap on the wrist for the same thing.Mississippi State tutor committed academic misconduct to aid 11 student-athletes

They will probably sit them for games they are big favorites or big underdogs. They will play them all in toss up games .. which means they will play against us. MSU also has a bye week before they play us .. so don't mark this one in the W column yet.State folks are saying they get to pick the games they sit as long as they sit for enough of them.

Also Dobbs lit it up as a junior AND senior and got drafted to be a back up. You guys really think even if JG has a decent year he thinks he can leave after that ONE good year and get drafted? Maybe into the XFL. MAYBE. Would be ridiculous to leave after this year regardless of stats.
Regarding Chaney. The kid from Arkansas, Brandon Allen, had 20 tds his second year with Chaney. Jacob Eason as a freshman is the only qb Chaney hasn't gotten to 20 tds in a season. He had 16 as a freshman with over 2400 yards in Chaney's first year there. The next year Fromm got 24 and then 30 last year.
Another thing I noticed is 2017 is the only year since 2009 that a TE in a Chaney offense has gotten less than 344 yards. Issaac Nauta only had 114 that season. But I think he was battling injury most of the season and only played 8 games. Had 361 the year before and 430 the year after. He's had a TE go for as many as 562 yards in a season, Rivera in 2012. He's had a lot of tight ends drafted too. Luke Stocker, Mychal Rivera, Hunter Henry and Issaac Nauta were all drafted. The only team he didn't get a TE drafted for was Pitt who had J.P. Holtz get 350 yards his year with Chaney and signed as an undrafted free agent the following year. He is still listed on the Redskins roster though I don't think he ever played a regular season game.
Since 2009 he's only had 2 seasons without a thousand yard rusher as well. 2011 had Poole lead the team with 693 and 2012 had Rajion Neal get 708. But Marlin Lane also had 658 that year so he did get some rushing production. And we all know the rushing production he got at Arkansas and Georgia with 3 different RB tandems getting 1,000 yards each in the same season.
I didn't really look at the WRs but we all know he's done good there too. Just saw yer comment about qbs throwing 20 tds and also heard a comment, I believe from Nieds, about some crazy stat he heard about TE stats in Chaney offenses and got curious. Because I remember people claiming he didn't use TEs enough at Georgia. I'm also curious about how much Chaney has thrown to RBs so maybe I'll look at that next. Seems like he always has, but interested in the stats.
Screw it, I've come this far, I'll do the receivers too. Only those with over 200 yards. I added any tight ends or running backs that went over 200 receiving yards to the bottom of each year and any receivers with notable rushing yards are put in there too.Here are receiving stats for running backs in Chaney's offenses (only listing those that went over 100 yards for the season):
2009 Tennessee
Hardesty 25 rec 302 yards
Bryce Brown 10 rec 137 yards
Kevin Cooper 12 rec 102 yards
2010 Tennessee
Poole 22 rec 171 yards
Neal 7 rec 100 yards
2011 Tennessee
Neal 13 rec 269 yards
Poole 21 rec 164 yards
Lane 17 rec 161 yards
2012 Tennessee
Lane 29 rec 228 yards
Neal 19 rec 149 yards
Bartholomew 11 rec 102 yards
2013 Arkansas
Kiero Small 19 rec 128
2014 Arkansas
None over 100 yards
2015 Pitt
None over 100 yards
2016 Georgia
Sony 22 rec 149 yards
2017 Georgia
Swift 17 rec 153 yards
Sony came close with 96
2018 Georgia
Swift 32 rec 297 yards
So his first time around with us he really used rbs as receivers quite a bit. Got away from in at Arkansas and Pitt, maybe because they didn't have those kinda rbs there. And then started going back to it more at Georgia. I know I'm not going out on a limb here but I could see Ty and Gray getting a lot of receiving production under Chaney.
Look up night clubs. There is one that is like 2 or 3 stories, but we got there one night around 8...not much happenin and go drink downstairs. Come back up an hour later and the place was goin wild. Naked lady with a snake wrapped around her, fire stick dancers, great DJ playing old hits, some new ones, it was fun madness. I'm sure it's on yelp and rated well.It’s been pretty cool so far, very nice “scenery”!! Been to a few nice roof top bars.
Any recommendations on must sees?
Dobbs lit things up as a runner those years, but he was still really inconsistent as a passer until his SR year, when he jumped to being one of the most efficient passers in the SEC and arguably the best long ball QB in the SEC that year. Heading into 2016, very few expected Dobbs to end up as a 3rd round pick. 2015 was seen by many UT fans as a year where Dobbs’ development as a passer stagnated (though IMO he did take a step forward that year in learning to protect the ball better than he did as a Sophomore). Dobbs was always dynamic as a runner, but he was never a consistent passing threat until his Sr. Year.

To your point though, part of the reason Dobbs was drafted was because of his physical tools and intangibles. He checks all the boxes there to be an NFL starter. He’s just not the most consistently accurate passer or decision maker. JG obviously isn’t the athlete Dobbs was and doesn’t have the same intangibles either, though.
IMO the big question isn’t whether JG can/will do enough to get drafted in 2020: the question is whether or not he’ll go ahead and take his chance becoming a pro regardless. You don’t have to get drafted for a team to bring you in as a camp arm. It’s not unheard of for UDFA QBs to end up hanging around as 3rd team/scout team QBs for a few years. JMO, but that’s about where JG’s upside tops out. And if that’s the case, then why not say what the hell and take your chances?
