Not that anyone expects it to be the case, but we need one of the backup QBs to find themselves this week and have a few good drives vs that defense.

We have to find an identity going into Mississippi State if we want a chance to pull that one off.

It’s very simple. Butch was winning games in his first 2 years and Pruitt isn’t

Doesn’t mean who will be better but it’s a fact butch did better in his first 16 games.

Butch beat one ranked team in his first two years. Pruitt's already beat two with one being on the road in 1 year plus four games.

I’m with all of it. I just don’t think the losses are “baked in” like some have said. The coaches aren’t telling recruits they’re going to get their heads beat in this weekend and the casual fan expects a semi-competitive product every week.

I’ve seen it myself both on this website and in real life - people get more irate with each loss. Acceptance of where we are as a program is easy to remember from a distance. It isn’t so easy watching your favorite team look like a JV team vs a program you used to regularly beat.

the coaches aren't telling them "we've arrived" either. let's just say they're probably "managing" expectations at this point.

i don't think anyone saw the start to this season coming, so in some regard, expectation level has already been blown out of the water for some prospects....so for some, that ship has already sailed....Smalls committing to UW as an example.....

but not for all.....and relationships still matter. there's a core group in this class that i think everyone would agree needs to either stay on board, or get on board...publically....lol.

this game isn't going to be the deciding factor for that group....that group will be won or lost based on how the whole season plays out....and keeping that core together will also help with some of the other pieces we're still trying to bring in....

Butch was able to bring in about 15 more kids than Pruitt. Looking at guys like Bryce, Toot & Crouch I'm sure a extra 15 Pruitt recruits would do wonders right now. Butch inherited a top 10 offensive line and still couldn't reach a Bowl. Jeremy has the rest of the season to go 6-6 and tie Butch's 2 year gold standard you've created.

Sorry but butch never brought in 40

If Pruitt goes 6-6 they will be even and I’ll even agree with you that the extra signees makes Pruitt more impressive. I can’t see 6-6 happening though but it darn sure would change the narrative

he brought in 59 or 60 kids in those two top 7 classes in total.

MSU, USCe, UK, Vandy, UAB, MO...would have to go 5-1 against those 6 to get to 6-6....3 home, 3 away.

possible? yes.
probable? ehhhh probably not.

but that's where we are, so gonna root for it to happen until it can't.....

Boy, that defense in year one sure was stellar. Trotting out Daniel Hood, Jacques Smith, Dontavis Sapp, Brent Brewer, Jaron Toney, Sutton as a freshman, Brian Randolph, and Ladarell McNiel as starters. Max Arnold was a backup safety. That roster was awful.

Year one was probably Butch’s best coaching job. Was an overturned review from beating a 9-4 Vandy team and making a bowl. Lost to UGA in OT on an effort play.

Boy if we could have won that Vandy game it would have gone down as one of the best coaching jobs in a long time

That one hurt badly

State sucks so a bye shouldn't matter. The QB has one read and takes off with the ball. Should be simple to scheme against them. At least Kansas State and their FCS staff made it look simple.

Chris Klieman won 4 national titles at NDSU. Don’t be silly. We are also in absolutely no position to say anyone sucks. Our only win came against a high school team.

I feel confident is saying this.

Justin Wilcox was the best coach to coach for us since Cut and Fulmer

Their current QB is a dual threat true freshman who ran and threw all over Kentucky. Their starter might be healthy by gametime due to a shoulder injury.
Kylin Hill will shread us on the ground. If Shrader is the QB, he can add insult to injury. If Stevens is the QB, he can wear us out down the field. Don't get cocky about that game. We can beat them, or they can show up and embarass us. They need that win just as bad as we do to right their season.

Will be an interesting game. All your points were spot on. Kylin Hill is an outstanding running back. I don't know how their o line is, but they should have success running the ball on us. I've seen nothing to make me think our front 7 will hold up well against the run

If Shrader plays, you have to make him throw the ball. He will make mistakes.

I have a good friend who is a MSU alum, and he questioned why they started Stevens against Auburn. He said they didn't have a chance getting down 21-0 and then Stevens was done. It makes you wonder if they will play for the future and start Shrader.

Gus just named his score with a true freshman QB. They suck, we suck. Time to see who sucks the least I suppose
