Bulldogs program and these are three reasons why I believe that Mississippi State football can and will be better in the 2024 college football season and guys my first reason is this I just mentioned it when you think about what has taken place over the last couple years in store right and it's really unfortunate and such a shame because number one we lost the late great Mike Leech and that alone without any other context added is truly sad and devastating it was a loss for all college football fans but when you think about as well guys the Mississippi State football program and where they were and where they were headed I mean we're talking about a Mississippi State team guys that if Mike Leech did not pass so tragically and so suddenly we're talking about a State team going into last year we were probably talking about hey can they win 10 games like really truly when You' look at that nucleus that Core group of players they had coming back Mississippi state was going to be a real force to be reckoned with well of course the passing of the late great Mike Leech Zack Arnett then takes over and you know I thought it was interesting talking to state folks last year they all seem to feel the same way it's a short-term fix he's not the long-term answer he's not going to last in St and sure enough guys he didn't even make it through a single whole season as the head coach so there's just been a lot of moving pieces there's been a lot of turmoil you know I give Zack Arnett credit for trying his very best to Galvanize that thing and keep things together but also some of the moves by Zack Garnett were very strange so to say it has been a year calendar year or so or calendar year plus or so full of adversity is putting it very lightly the first reason guys why I think Mississippi State football is going to be better in 2024 very simply a fresh start a fresh start in starold and guys sometimes that's all it takes just a fresh start new energy reasons for Hope reasons for optimism because I just don't think many people had that last year right even with all the returning players you had the core nucleus on offense on defense and you know as soon as you made the changes on offense hiring a new offensive coordinator and Kevin Barb and it just it never felt like if we're being honest with ourselves that it was going to work and so I think this new exciting brand that I think Jeff lby he's not gonna be Mike Leech 2.0 and I know it's just a spring game but you watch that spring game and you look at Jeff ley's track record and you know you look at what he wants to do guys he's an offensive mind right he's an offensive mind he's a guy who's going to bring explosive offense back to Starkville like guys we're starting from scratch here like the goal for Mississippi state is just be fun again that that's that's really it when it comes to year one yes you'd like to make a bowl game yes you'd love to win eight games but just be fun and entertaining to watch again because at Mississippi State to win big I think you've got to be different being different gives you hope it provides optimism and so I think a fresh start in start P alone guys a breath the fresh air I think is going to lead to much improved results I really do sometimes that's all it takes you got to change up the energy in the program I think Jeff lebby has done that for the positive and I think a fresh start is going to help Mississippi State football be better this season guys my second reason why I feel Mississippi State football will be better you look at the quarterback position and going out in the transfer portal and Landing a quarterback is a very popular thing of course it's a hot commodity and it's something that state did this offseason I was really surprised at some of the push back from folks of the signing of Blake shapen the Baylor transfer I like Blake shapen game guys I think Blake shapen he's an allconference player just a couple years ago last year wasn't great but he dealt with some injuries guys he dealt with some injuries dealt with some adversity guys the second reason I think State's gonna be better I think Blake shapen is Gonna Shine in Jeff lebby's offense and let me tell you this I'll put it to you this way in my opinion I think there's a better chance Blake shapen is a top half of the league quarterback in passing and overall than it is he's a bottom half the league I I feel that good about Blake shapen I really do I think Blake shaven guys you saw it in the spring game he's got the arm strength he knows how to play the position right he's able to make the checks at the line and the biggest question is going to be running Jeff ley's offense and doing everything Jeff leby wants to do but I I think shapen got all the tools and I think fun exciting electric downfield passing attack is going to be back and start they got Kelly aari on the outside amongst with a host of others as well I think Blake shapen is going to shine I think he's gonna put up really really big numbers in offense I like this kid's game a lot I really do not saying he's gonna set the world on fire and be all SEC and but when we talk about who's GNA be competing for leading the SEC and passing who are going to be those guys at the top I am not going to be be surprised if Blake shapen is at minimum top five of that group I'm not going to be surprised at all so Blake shapen shining in Jeff ley's offense bringing that exciting brand of football back and scoring some points I think it's going to lead to massive improvements for the offense but certainly Improvement for the entire football team as well and guys my final reason why I believe Mississippi State football be better you look on the defensive side and listen it's going to be there's going to be a lot of growing pains defensively there are right there's going to be a lot of growing pains defensively but a guy I'm really high on and I think his impact will be felt early Coleman hutler the new defensive coordinate I think he could emerge as an upand cominging star at defensive coordinat I think he will I like that hire a lot worked under Nick sa at Alabama he's bounced all around the SEC I think Coleman hutzler finally getting his opportunity to be a defensive coordinator uh again there's going to be growing pains all throughout this season guys you lose guys like jet Johnson and Nathaniel Watson and you lose some of your really your heart soulle pieces of that defense you know I think Mississippi state's goingon to have to probably outscore some people at times but I do like Coleman hudler I like that hire I think he's gonna emerge as one of the up incomers in colge ch ball and really be a St a star in the making if you will defensive coordinator so guys my three reasons why I believe that Mississippi State football will be better this season number one a fresh start in Starkville number two Blake shape and shines in Jeff ley's offense and number three Coleman hutler emerges as an upand cominging star at defensive coordinator guys that's going to do off for me appreciate each and every single one of you tuning in be sure to
