re: my take on the 2018 football season
Posted by Tidus Powell on 5/20/18 at 3:11 pm to oOoLsUtIgErSoOo
I'm here because I'm an Ohio State fan interested in Joe Burrow's new team. Burrow was a good teammate and good QB who had some really awful luck in being at Ohio State at the same time as Dwayne Haskins, who is the best pro style QB prospect that OSU's had in a long damn time.
So believe me when I say that I really don't care about excuses or whether Coach O should be fired, or anything like that. I'm not an LSU fan, and that's not my place. I'm here just to get a sense of what to expect Burrow's 2018 home to look like.
But... as a spectator of the SEC West, Mississippi State is gonna frick up someone's season. It could be Bama, it could be Auburn, it could be - yes - LSU. But some poor team is gonna talk about 'ah, it's JUST Mississippi State' and is gonna get wrecked.
(my guess is that it's Auburn, but *shrug*)
Not trying to make excuses Coach O, because I really, deeply do not care about who should coach LSU. That's for y'all to talk about.

Mississippi State is still Mississippi State until proven otherwise. Orgeron has to beat them consistently to be able to keep his job.
Let the record show that, on an LSU message board in the year of our lord 2018, I was informed that the fourth- or fifth-best team in the SEC was, in fact, bad.

Y'all, Mississippi State is good. It ain't 2004. They *should* have beaten Bama last year. They don't recruit as well as LSU, and Mullen was a god-awful playcaller in big games, but that's it. And now Moorhead's a better playcaller and recruiter than Mullen.
Mississippi State's good.

Of the two: Burrow is the dual threat, and Haskins is the pocket passer. A lot of folks are getting this backwards.
Both are good, because both can move well and both can throw well. They're similar, but Burrow runs better than Haskins, and Haskins is stronger-armed and is more accurate. Small differences in all those things except arm strength, and that's only because Haskins is, uh, really good.
Both are good. But Burrow is the runner, if either of them are.
(neither of them are really the runner)
((that's martell))

... Burrow is a better runner than Haskins. Not the other way around.
Just so we're clear on that.

There IS a reason he couldn't take the job at OSU.... Just sayin... I hope he does wonders while he is here.....
Ohio State fan here: I don't think this is the case. That is: he might have been neck-and-neck with Haskins, but Meyer was insistent that the two were basically tied prior to the spring game. And in the spring game, Burrow was better on the whole.
Spring Game Link. Obviously, don't want to read too much into it, as it's spring and there's no real pass rush, but figured you might be interested.
I personally thought Haskins as a passer was too good to not start, but Burrow is still a *good* passer. He's not a clone of Barrett, and we don't have a ton of tape on him, but some number of OSU fans thought he was similarly agile and better than Barrett at passing.
(i was part of that number)
((i really really like haskins))
(((but i definitely thought this team could've been more competitive for a natty with burrow than barrett)))
