THE MATCHUP: GAME 1MISSISSIPPI STATE BULLDOGS (0-0)

#6/5 LSU TIGERS (0-0)

STORYLINES

• Mississippi State begins its 121st season of football and the Mike Leach era Saturday when it plays No. 6 LSU in Baton Rouge. The sixth-ranked Tigers will be the highest-ranked opponent in a season opener since State opened the 2007 season against No. 2 LSU in Starkville (L, 0-45).

• MSU’s last true road SEC opening game was in 1967 at Georgia. The Bulldogs are 19-10-1 all-time when opening the year on the road, but just 6-12 when meeting an SEC opponent in the lid lifter. State has opened conference play with a road win 12 times.

• Last year, MSU concluded the decade as one of only five SEC programs to go to a bowl every season from 2010-19, joining Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Texas A&M. 

• MSU brings an 85-33-2 overall record in season-openers into the LSU game. The Bulldogs have won nine of their last 12 season openers. Mike Leach owns a 12-6 record in season openers, including a 3-3 mark in season openers on the road.  

• A two-time national coach of the year, Mike Leach was hired as the 34th head coach in program history on Jan. 6, 2020. He has won 139 games in 18 seasons as a head coach highlighted by two 11-win seasons, five 9-win seasons, and five 8-win seasons. He’s the only active Power 5 head coach to produce an 11-win season at two different programs since 2008. 

• Mike Leach leads active FBS head coaches with the most average passing yards per game since 2001 (394.5). Over the last eight seasons, his offense is at the top of the list (among head coaches with four years experience) in completion percentage (66.9 percent). 

• Since 2005, Mike Leach’s offenses have passed for 500+ yards in 26 games, which is No. 1 in the nation among active FBS head coaches and 15 more than the next head coach during that time frame. His offense has totaled 600+ offensive yards in 25 different games, which ranks third among active FBS head coaches during that span. 

• Mike Leach has coached a 3,000+ yard passer in 17 of his 18 seasons as a head coach at Texas Tech (2000-09) and Washington State (2012-19). His first 3,000+ yard passer as a head coach was Kliff Kingsbury in 2000, Tech’s first in program history. 

• State returns a dozen starters from the 2019 team, including four on offense (RB Kylin Hill, WR Osirus Mitchell, OL Greg Eiland and OL Dareuan Parker), four on defense (DT Jaden Crumedy, DE Marquiss Spencer, LB Erroll Thompson and S C.J. Morgan) and four specialists (PK Jace Christmann, KO Scott Goodman, LS Paul Blackwell and P Tucker Day).  

• The Bulldogs lost 27 letterwinners along with 15 offensive and defensive starters. Notable departures include LB Willie Gay Jr., CB Cameron Dantzler, OT Tyre Phillips, QB Tommy Stevens and S Brian Cole II who were all selected in the 2020 NFL Draft. Dantzler and Phillips have both started at least one game for their respective franchises in their rookie years.

NUMBERS TO KNOW

9 Nine QBs have thrown for 3,000+ passing yards in 17 seasons during Mike Leach’s 18 seasons as a head coach.

50 In each of the last three seasons, Mike Leach’s teams have boasted five players with 50+ receptions.

THE LEACH FILE

BY THE NUMBERS

LEACH’S YEAR-BY-YEAR HEAD COACHING RECORD

Mike Leach, a two-time national coach of the year, three-time conference coach of the year and the mastermind behind the NCAA record-setting “Air Raid” offense, was tabbed Mississippi State’s 34th head football coach on January 9, 2020. The accomplishments for Leach in his 18 years as a head coach are long and distinguished. He has compiled a 139-90 (.607) record, guided his squads to 16 bowl games, produced seven seasons of at least nine victories, captured two division titles, become the winningest coach in Texas Tech history and set school records for bowl appearances at both Texas Tech (10) and Washington State (6). During 10 of those 18 seasons, Leach’s passing attack led the FBS – six at Texas Tech and four at Washington State. Of the 50 most productive passing yardage seasons in FBS history, 11 came from quarterbacks coached by Leach since his hiring as head coach at Texas Tech in 2000. That includes three seasons by Graham Harrell (2006-08), two by Luke Falk (2015-16), one by Gardner Mishew II (2018) and one by Anthony Gordon (2019). Leach, 58, arrives in Starkville after eight seasons at the helm at Washington State where he compiled a 55-47 (.539) record and was named the 2018 American Football Coaches Association National Coach of the Year and two-time Pac-12 Coach of the Year (2015, 2018). Leach spearheaded WSU to a school-record six bowl appearances and became the first coach in school history to lead the Cougars to five consecutive bowl games. They also led the nation in passing offense in four out of his last six seasons in charge. The 2018 campaign saw Leach produce one of the finest coaching performances as WSU posted its first 11-win season in school history and a share of the Pac-12 North Division. The Cougars were ranked in the top 13 of each College Football Playoff rankings, including four consecutive weeks at No. 8. WSU capped the season with a win over Iowa State in the Alamo Bowl and finished No. 10 in the Associated Press and Coaches polls. Senior quarterback and Mississippi native Minshew captivated the nation, leading the FBS in passing yards per game (367.6). Leach previously spent 10 seasons as head coach at Texas Tech (2000-09) where his squads produced bowl appearances all 10 years. He compiled a school-record 84 victories, a school-record five bowl wins

and eight consecutive seasons of at least eight victories. The architect of the most prolific passing offense in the country, Leach received three national coach of the year awards in 2008 - the Woody Hayes Award, Howie Long/Fieldturf Coach of the Year and George Munger Award. Leach’s offense captured six NCAA passing titles and three total offense titles during his 10 seasons in Lubbock. Leach led Texas Tech to one of the most memorable seasons in school history in 2008 as the team set a program record with 11 regular-season wins en route to an 11-2 record. The win total tied the mark, set previously by the 1953 and 1973 Red Raider squads. Numerous accolades poured in from across the country as an unprecedented four players earned first-team All-America status, in addition to Leach’s three coach of the year honors. Harrell, offensive tackle Rylan Reed and offensive guard Brandon Carter each garnered first-team honors, while wide receiver Michael Crabtree was honored as a unanimous All-American for the second-straight season. A total of 18 players were drafted at Texas Tech under Leach’s watch and 21 others signed free agent contracts. In the spring of 2009, four players were selected among the first four rounds of the NFL Draft, marking the most successful draft for Texas Tech in the Leach era. The program made strides academically as well under Leach. During his 10 years, Texas Tech was recognized as one of the nation’s top institutions for consistently being above a 70 percent graduation rate, according to the AFCA. Prior to coming on board at Texas Tech, Leach, in just one season at Oklahoma, directed a Sooner offense that went from from 11th in the Big 12 in 1998 to first in 1999 and 101st in the nation to 11th. Prior to joining Bob Stoops’ Oklahoma staff, Leach served as offensive coordinator for Hal Mumme at the University of Kentucky and Valdosta (Ga.) State University. Under Mumme and Leach, the Kentucky offense set six NCAA records, 41 Southeastern Conference records and 116 school records in 22 games. Leach and Mumme first teamed up at Iowa Wesleyan College in 1989 where he served as offensive coordinator and line coach until 1991. He has also made stops in Pori, Finland, where he served as a head coach in the European Football League (1989), as well as one-year stints at College of the Desert (1988) and Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo (1987).

MSU Falls To #2 LSU in Home CBS Contest, 36-13With CBS making its first appearance in Davis Wade Stadium since 2015, No. 2 LSU jumped out to a 22-7 halftime lead and took advantage of three Mississippi State turnovers as the Bulldogs fell, 36-13. MSU’s defense did hold the Tigers’ high-powered No. 1 offense to then-season lows in points (36) and total yards (413). State was within striking distance in the first half following Garrett Shrader’s 12-yard touchdown run with 5:24 to go in the second quarter. Shrader, a true freshman making his second career start, accounted for 304 yards of total offense and two touchdowns on the day, throwing for a season-best 238 yards. He was State’s leading rusher with 66 yards. MSU’s defense limited LSU scoring drives to field goals on their first three drives, but the Tigers finished with two touchdowns in the final 5:05 of the first half. Stephen Guidry had his best game of the season, making six catches for 98 yards and one touchdown. Shrader found him on a 24-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter that capped a seven-play, 90-yard drive. Martin Emerson, another true freshman, got his first career start in place of an injured Maurice Smitherman. Seven Bulldogs accounted for at least 0.5 tackles for loss. Jaquarius Landrews turned in a team-high eight tackles. Chauncey Rivers collected a career-high 1.5 sacks, and C.J. Morgan registered a career-high four pass breakups.

TOUGH SCHEDULE According to ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI), MSU will play the second-most-difficult schedule in the nation in 2020. Only Arkansas has a higher strength of schedule rating. SEC teams boast 14 of the 15 strongest schedules according to FPI. Five of State’s 10 opponents are ranked in the AP Preseason Top 25, and all five are among the Top 15. BAYOU BULLDOGS Nine Bulldogs call Louisiana home, more than any other state outside of Mississippi. The majority play on the defensive side of the ball led by safety C.J. Morgan (Bossier City). He’s joined in the secondary by cornerback Decamerion Richardson (Cullen) and safeties Somon Anderson (New Orleans), Kyle Cass (New Orleans) and Shawn Preston Jr. (St. James) while Aaron Brule (New Orleans) and Tyrus Wheat (Amite) slot in at linebacker. On the offensive side of the ball, wide receivers Geor’quarius Spivey (Monroe) and Quinton Torbor (Destrehan) and transfer quarterback Justin Stolberg (Covington) all hail from Louisiana. LSU CONNECTIONS Sophomore OL Cole Smith spent the 2018 season at LSU, playing two games at center before redshirting the year. His first collegiate action came against Ole Miss. He was the No. 2 ranked center in the country according to ESPN and the eighth-ranked prospect in the state of Mississippi out of high school per 247Sports. 2010s: THE MOST SUCCESSFUL DECADE IN MSU HISTORY From 2010-19, State posted a 79-61 (.564) record on the field, appeared in a bowl every season, finished in the final polls four times (2010, 2014, 2017, 2018) and produced 15 All-American honors and 37 first or second-team All-SEC selections. In 2014, the Bulldogs went from unranked to No. 1 faster than any team in college football history and spent five consecutive weeks at the top spot. Prior to the 2010s, the Bulldogs’ best decade was the 1990s with 64 total victories. FROM STATE TO SUNDAYSBulldogs continue to dominate NFL rosters in 2020 with over 33 players on active rosters or practice squads. Six current active Bulldogs have been selected to the Pro Bowl during their careers, including Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Dak Prescott, Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, Houston Texans linebacker Benardrick McKinney, Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay, Seattle Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright and Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones, who won his first Super Bowl ring in February.

UNDER NEW LEADERSHIPMike Leach was hired as the 34th head coach in program history on Jan. 9, 2020. He previously spent eight seasons at Washington State where he was twice named Pac-12 Coach of the Year. In 2018, he was tabbed the AFCA National Coach of the Year for the second time in his career. Prior to his stint with the Cougars, Leach took Texas Tech to a bowl game in 10 consecutive seasons, setting a program reocrd with 84 victories in his tenure. He’s the only active Power 5 head coach to produce an 11-win season at two different programs since 2008.

ARNETT TO DIRECT DEFENSELeach tabbed Zach Arnett, a rising star in college football’s coaching ranks, to serve as his defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. Arnett, who was selected as a member of the prestigious AFCA 35 Under 35 Coaches Leadership Institute in 2020, led a 2019 San Diego State defense that ranked in the top 10 nationally in seven categories.

ARNETT’S NATIONAL DEFENSIVE RANKINGS SINCE 2018 (TWO SEASONS) • Rushing yards allowed per game (1st – 89.6) • Rushing yards allowed per carry (1st – 2.9) • Fewest 30-point games allowed (T1st – 2) • Fewest 40-point games allowed (T1st – 0 … one of just six teams) • Percentage of big plays allowed (2nd – 9.2) with only 153 of 1,658 opponent plays gaining

either a 12-plus yard run or 15-plus yard pass • Percentage of drives that they kept their opponent from crossing the 50-yard line (4th – 61.3) • Percentage drives that their opponent covered less than 25 yards (4th – 60.1) • Percentage drives holding their opponent scoreless (6th – 76.3) • Points per play allowed (10th – 0.3) and points per possession allowed (10th – 1.3) • Yards allowed per play (14th – 4.9)

50 BURGERFor the ninth straight year, State produced 50+ points in at least one game when it racked up 54 at Arkansas on Nov. 2, 2019. The 54 points were MSU’s most in an SEC game since the Bulldogs’ 55-20 win at Ole Miss on Nov. 26, 2016. State has put up 50+ points four times since 2018, tied for the fourth most in the SEC during that span. The Bulldogs are one of just four SEC teams to log multiple 50+ point games against SEC opponents during that stretch. MSU has scored 50+ points 17 times over the last 15 seasons and is 17-0 in those games.

TWO-DOWN OFFENSEOne of the many reasons Mike Leach’s offenses are so efficient is they avoid third down. Over the last three seasons, Leach’s teams have recorded the fourth-lowest percentage of overall plays that are third down plays.

• Just 23 percent of Leach’s first downs came on third down plays. • Leach’s offenses have gone three and out just 14.54 percent of possessions over the last 16

seasons, which ranks No. 1 among active FBS head coaches with 4+ years of experience. • Over the last three years, Leach’s offense has had the fifth-lowest percentage of drives

that resulted in a three-and-out. • In that same span, 39 percent of Leach’s offensive drives reached the red zone, which

is also the fifth-highest percentage in college football.

EYEING THE RECORD BOOKMike Leach’s Air Raid offense has broken records at every school he’s coached at over a 30-plus-year career. In just 22 games as the offensive coordinator at Kentucky, his offense broke 116 school records. Under his guidance, Washington State set or tied 42 school, Pac-12 or NCAA records in 2014 alone.

At Iowa Wesleyan, his offense broke 26 national records. In 1993 at Valdosta State, the Blazer offense smashed 66 school records, 22 conference records and seven national records. The following year, they again shattered 80 school records, 35 conference records and seven more national marks.

Multiple Mississippi State school records are already in jeopardy, as Leach’s WSU offense has surpassed them on more than one occasion during his tenure.

NOTEBOOK

@HAILSTATEFB 11

THE QUARTERBACK WHISPERERMike Leach has coached a 3,000+ yard passer in 17 of his 18 seasons as a head coach at Texas Tech (2000-09) and Washington State (2012-19). His first 3,000+ yard passer as a head coach was Kliff Kingsbury in 2000, Tech’s first in program history. The Bulldogs have not had a 3,000-yard passer since Dak Prescott threw for a school-record 3,793 yards in 2015.

MSU’s last 1,000-yard receiver was Fred Ross (1,007 yards) on his way to setting the single-season Bulldog record with 88 catches in 2015.

GRADING THE AIR RAIDMike Leach is one of the original architects of the Air Raid offense and few have proven its effectiveness more than he has. While at Washington State, Leach’s Cougars ranked in the top 20 in passing grade according to Pro Football Focus in four of the last six years. His teams also led the NCAA in passing yardage four times while at WSU.

Year Grade Rank Leader Grade2019 82.2 20th LSU 94.02018 87.5 7th Oklahoma 94.02016 83.4 11th Oklahoma 94.3 2014 80.8 15th USC 92.1

AIRING IT OUTQBs Will Rogers and K.J. Costello are no strangers to the Air Raid offense. Rogers ran a similar scheme at Brandon High School. He was recruited by head coach Mike Leach while he was still at Washington State before committing to MSU prior to Leach’s hiring. Brandon was also home to Jacksonville Jaguars QB Gardner Minshew II, who led the nation in passing under Leach at Washington State in 2018.

Costello went head-to-head against Leach and Minshew while he was at Stanford. He would watch the defense’s scout team film on the Cougars because he was intrigued by the Air Raid concepts. This summer, Costello and Rogers teammed up to teach their teammates the new offense before fall camp began.

PASSERS IN THEIR FIRST START UNDER LEACHFifteen different quarterbacks have started a game under Mike Leach since 2000. Nine of those completed at least 30 passes in their debut under the “Quarterback Whisperer.” Six passers threw for 400 or more yards and seven passed for four or more touchdowns in their first start in Leach’s system. Only four have made their first start in his system against a conference opponent.

• Anthony Gordon, turned in a 230.8 passer rating on the back of 420 yards and five touchdowns on Aug. 31, 2019 against New Mexico State

• Steven Sheffield posted the highest passer rating (232.3O), most passing yards (490) and most touchdowns (7) in his first Leach start (vs. Kansas State on Oct. 10, 2009)

• Cody Hodges also posted a passer rating above 200.0 against FIU on Sept. 10, 2005 (217.1).

SHRADER SHIFTS TO THE SLOTSophomore Garrett Shrader made the change from quarterback to wide receiver during preseason camp, and head coach Mike Leach has a history of successful position changes within his programs.

Red Raider legend Michael Crabtree was a quarterback in high school, but started running routes in his first season on campus. In two years in Lubbock, he set eight NCAA records. The two-time Biletnikoff winner and 2007 ESPN All-America Player of the Year still holds single-season records for receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns at Texas Tech. He is second all-time in receiving yards and holds the career record for receiving touchdowns. He was the No. 10 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.

Wide receiver Wes Welker was originally signed as a running back at Texas Tech, but made the transition prior to the 2001 season. Welker went on to post 3,069 career receiving yards. He went undrafted, but has the distinction of racking up the second-most all-purpose yards in NFL history by any player in his first three seasons. Welker also holds the NFL record for most receptions by an undrafted wide out.

Mickey Peters was also a quarterback during his freshman season at Tech in 2000. He went on to catch 196 passes in his career for 2,318 yards and 22 touchdowns after switching to receiver and later tight end for his senior season. Peters is seventh on the Red Raiders’ all-time receiving touchdowns leaderboard.

SHRADER STARTED AT QB IN LAST METTING VS. LSUThen-QB Garrett Shrader made his second career start against No.2 LSU on Oct. 19, 2019. He finished the game 17-of-28 passing for 238 yards and one touchdown to go along with 66 rushing yards and one touchdown on 19 carries.

• Career-high 304 yards of total offense and averaged 6.5 yards per play • Scored State’s first TD of the game (12-yard rush) • Found WR Stephen Guidry for a 24-yard TD pass in the fourth quarter • Had 155 yards of total offense in the first half (9 of 13 passing for 112 yards and one

interception to go along with 11 rushes for 43 yards and one touchdown)

SHRADER’S FRESHMAN SEASONGarrett Shrader, an electric athlete, was one of nine Power 5 players, including three freshmen, to throw for 1,000+ yards and rush for 500+ yards in 2019. For the 2020 season, he has moved to wide receiver. Below is a look at Shrader’s noteworthy numbers under center.

• 58.7 rushing yards per game in 2019 (2nd in SEC among QBs) • Responsible for 14 touchdowns (8 passing, 6 rushing) • Led MSU in rushing in four games (all vs. SEC) • TD pass in five games (2 at Auburn, 1 at Tennessee, 1 vs. LSU, 3 at Texas A&M, 1 vs. ACU) • Three touchdown passes at Texas A&M were a career high • 19 of his 21 completions of 20+ yards came in SEC play • Responsible for at least one touchdown in seven games • Logged both a passing and rushing touchdown in a single game three times • 34 runs for a first down (3rd in SEC among QBs) • 30 runs for 10+ yards (Led SEC among QBs) • Completed 51 passes for a first down and 54 for 10+ yards • Completed 60+ percent of passes in five different games

MR. RELIABLEWR Austin Williams has earned his reputation as “Mr. Reliable.” Of Williams’ 21 career receptions, 71 percent have led to a touchdown or first down.

Furthermore, Williams had the tenth-highest hands/drop grade among returning SEC players a year ago according to PFF (81.5) and the No. 5 grade among wide outs.

E40 IS THE LEADER OF THE DEFENSELB Erroll Thompson led the Bulldogs in 2019 with 84 tackles, which ranks 11th in the conference among returning players. He is the only SEC defender to enter the 2020 season with 200 or more career tackles.

Thompson recorded seven or more tackles eight times last season, including three games with double-digit stops. He finished second in the SEC in QB hits among linebackers (6). His six QB hits, eight hurries and half sack gave him 15 total pressures on the year, per PFF. He also logged 38 total “stops” per PFF, which are tackles that constitute a “failure” for the offense.

Thompson was named to the 2020 preseason watch list for the Dick Butkus Award, which honors the nation’s top linebacker at the high school, collegiate and professional levels as well as the SEC Coaches’ Preseason All-SEC second team.

THE MAYOR MAKING A MAJOR IMPACTDE Kobe Jones, who is called “The Mayor” for his service efforts in the Starkville community, made a major impact for the Bulldogs down the stretch in 2019.
