David Pollack concerns challenge to Mississippi State offense in 2025

The very first year of the Jeff Lebby experience at Mississippi State was forgettable, though perhaps that’s to be expected. He had a lot to transform to get the squad where he wanted it.

Will the Bulldogs be closer to that kind of attire in 2025? That remains to be seen.

However one college football expert thinks there’s a clear path to getting where Lebby wants to go. And it starts with getting the offense– Lebby’s calling card– back on track.

“I ‘d love to see just some excitement,” David Pollack stated on the See Ball Get Ball podcast. “You hired Jeff Lebby because you desired Jeff Lebby to bring an offensive viewpoint and style that was really, truly enjoyable and distinct.”

So far, Mississippi State fans have not seen that. The Bulldogs ranked really improperly offensively a year back.

The very best part of the offense was the death game, which checked in at No. 50 nationally by balancing 239.3 yards per game. However the hurrying offense was just 87th at 137.9 lawns per game.

The group’s overall offense completed ranked 78th, averaging 377.2 backyards per game. And the Mississippi State scoring offense completed 85th, averaging just 25.8 points per game.

“I do not have a lot to provide you about optimism, however let’s see it do this,” Pollack stated. “Let’s see the offense get their tempo the way they want to get their pace. Let’s see the offense score some points, produce some explosiveness and get some sort of fun. They just need some type of identity. They can’t be bad on both sides.”

Mississippi State finished just 2-10 in Lebby’s first season in charge. Upping that number shouldn’t be terribly tough, specifically if the offense can start to click into gear.

That’s what Pollack is looking for in Year 2. He wants to see a jump.

“Jeff is a dazzling offending mind and I wish to see the offense improve and be dominant, like be excellent,” he stated. “I understand the defense is going to have holes in it and stuff like that, however you simply want to see something favorable entering that instructions so you can develop some sort of optimism and state, ‘We’re going to go do this.’ Like, ‘OK, I feel much better about where we’re going to be next year.'”
