Without Washington State Cougars football to watch, many of us have latched onto the Mississippi St. Bulldogs as our team to watch this fall, because when Mike Leach left, there was a lot of curiosity as to how the Air Raid would work out with all the SPEEEEEEEEEED of the SEC! SEC! SEC!
Needless to say, many people were skeptical — not the least of those being Coug fans who watched his system flounder for a couple of years as the team learned what to do. It also didn’t help that MSU missed out on spring practices and also was breaking in a new QB who had spent the past four years running David Shaw’s pro-style offense at Stanford.
