Team Maroon vs Team White Highlights | 2024 Mississippi State Football Spring Game

welcome to Starkville Mississippi and Davis Wade Stadium on the ground to start things off gain of five yards on first down for ke here treor started out at Arkansas State transferred to Colorado was there for a spring then came to Mississippi State get that spot going that's when that offense can ramp up to the next level we asked coach leby about special teams yesterday and he said find a freshman that played and we'll let him as all on the ground this is Jeffrey Pitman good run on second down arson from the gun and they stay on the ground Pitman gets to the outside he takes the ball across Midfield and is shoved out of bounds this I think a lot of people believe that the inh helmet communication is just going to be easy and it's oh you just throw them in there and you just talk to the guys that's going to take reps that the under Johnny Daniels into the game at running back Parson flushed scrambling and he throws on the Run incomplete maybe a little bit Chris Barson's going to have to continue to grow so a couple of stops so far for the defense pting situation the ball will be at the defensive side up front through spring practice shaping in the offense back out on the field shaping with time dumps it over the middle and that ball is caught by S [Music] TR if you're trying to get an indepth look at the running game today you may be disa disappointed this ball batted into the air go to the air dumps it over the middle that's a completion to Coleman and the ball comes out just short of the end zone turnover created on what looked like it was starters and eight defensive starters from a year ago that's just a lot of what college football has arson time in the pocket collapses around him and now he Lofts it down the field and they're going to blow it dead but this is a good run look right here not sure how much changing the play at the line Blake the splits these receivers here from the top your screen all the way to the bottom another shot play this one down the field and it is caught T in from UTEP 40 yards on the pitch and catch he was a big play guy a season ago gritty gritty gritty is Banjo gritty okay two completions already for Blake shap but of more than 40 yards going back essentially even when they're in Phase when to attack it high when to wait on the football he's got great hands great strength Cole if you're going to do something well you got to practice it a lot and lots of teams talk about playing with 105 back on the ground to Pitman he takes it across Midfield and his wrestled usually do that bit of a collision in the back field somehow got it out dumped it out to Justin ball for Chris Parson that looked bad right until it didn't a great example blocking schemes and then finding those guys on routes Nick bar there to kick the extra point in the words of Jeff Levy kick Mississippi State this coming year will open its season at home against Eastern Kentucky and then they will head West to take on Arizona State in Tempe Jordan Mosley at the bottom of your screen is outside the numbers that's a Cari that went in motion and now they dump it off to the tight end say do try Ori Bell draft coming up next week I tell you Richard you see zavon Thomas's name and you see this offense ason Lee I think Lee pardon me Marlon Hal on to try the extra point Montes SWAT was a first rounder went to the Washington football team Jeff Simmons in two sacks now for the defense arson hands it off short gain on second down third and 14 harson trying to make it happen now with his feet and he is touched move around play different spots going to be key for this season on the ground and a big run a had a really nice spring according to Cody Kennedy Pounders the transfer from Memphis that was not a piece that the the Memphis Tigers were happy too early there Pitman in the game at the running back spot he hands it off and Powers his way into the end zone Phil came from Hines Community College had 54 carries for 268 yards and a touchdown last season today in their trips inside the 20 and our first look at Michael vanban in at quarterback The Freshman see the 57th ranked player in the country among freshman coming in keep it on the ground this is Brinston Williams getting certainly one of the reasons that Mississippi State fans are excited this is a different type of offense than Eastern Louisiana this one is from 50 left footed kicker hooks it right just the tempo portion of that and then take us through also the splits of the receivers when they line up as wide as some of these do what are the difficulties that come with that oh you know they could can you just kind of mentally walk us through that process and then you line up to the line of scrimmage and whatever the the routes that are left that you think you might see how does that actually in his rookie season in the NFL on the ground pretty good cut back there this is Kon Lee transfers in from Memphis highly recruited out of high school had some sec options ended up going to Memphis the shot T The End Zone and that b at the numbers when the ball spotted at the opposite hash van buen using that athleticism to get outside going to keep it himself and he'll go out of Defense forced a punt on that last drive so they got five points shap and touchdown make sure they have somebody that can steer the ship for two series two games two weeks whatever it is if he were to go down shapen gets it out to his tight end Justin ball the tight ends in this offense yet we've seen a couple that lebby's dad was a high school football coach I asked like so what were you about four five when you you first were at the field he's like water boy ball boy ABS props for the center from Cole Cub never would have seen that coming you're going to get it nice cat Chris Parson taking a shot down the field he's got a man that's a catch that's a touchdown for the offense 65 yds just come out of the locker room and light the scoreboard up take that deep shot could be a valuable piece for the Bulldogs this far group of true freshman wide [Applause] receiver and Buran in the game hand off that time in a nice on that has experience that could have a good understanding of the offense could be valuable another offensive lineman to potentially add depth I don't think that's a huge need but I think you're always looking for a guy I think most college football teams have concerns about depth especially in the era that we're in in college football Mississippi State certainly no exception Williams picks his way down to the 10 yard line you mentioned Nick Sav just a second ago bar just inside the right hash and he splits the uprights there so points on I'd like to try to simplify it why keis Johnson is into the game in the backfield number 32 over the place so Jeff leby in his first year as head coach why Jeff lebby yeah I think you know coach lebby is somebody that uh clearly from a schematic standpoint he understands good things here offense back out on the field and trying to make some things happen Mike Wright in it in start he has that kind of rockar welcome and then immediately has to go to work they've only got about 12 days to put together a pring class as you see confidence that he's got uh so he hit the ground running and clearly putting together a great staff has been really helpful big play there on the ground for the offense it is it is a bear all encompassing that is such such his life in the SC Monte Russell on the field and uh he is a large man so Damonte first spring under a new coaching staff new defensive coordinator kind of drinking out of a fire hose and trying to learn everything to feeling like okay this stuff's starting to make sense man it took a lot you know coming in the first one I feel like that's that's the hardest part Morgan is in the game at quarterback he is a junior from Philadelphia Mississippi another one of the junior college pieces that has been added it's not what we need to be talking got a confirmation on the weight before the game and I got it at 3:25 but it was actually the conversation about his skill set that I had with Cody Kennedy after that look 610 that's the thing Dan Skipper at Arkansas looked like he was 610 CU he just looked kind of disproportionate I Dylan doesn't he doesn't look he's he's over seven with the helmet on but yes it's easily 610 I know you said it doesn't matter but uh Asher Morgan's mom and dad probably after this group up front I feel pretty good about that tight end position pretty good depth and a couple of different type players at that position that you're going to be able to line up in different very healthy didn't see any injury timeouts along the way and uh the debut of Blake shapen was a good one we saw at as they will take on the Auburn Tigers we're going to take a time out out when we come back we hope to visit with Jeff lbby one last time the head coach in Starkville let's go down to the playing surface where Cole cubik is with
