Mississippi State's faithful can't agree on where this is headed.

Jeff Lebby's year 3 (2026): 2-0, behind Greg Knox's 5-8 in the same spot.

Most Mississippi State fans liked what they saw — but a real minority isn't convinced.

Yeah you cant do that lmao. The most obvious call there

▲ 5r/CFB

Lebby is caring too much about how the final score looks. Get KT the fuck out of the game.

Fan claims · every quote verified verbatim

program directionLimited signal that season

fans believe the team has better players this season

The defense is still very questionable. The D Line isn't getting any kind of pressure. That said, this team is far better than last season.

We look better but idk if we will survive in the SEC slate

player performanceOne fan's take that season

One fan believes the offensive line has improved pass protection

The kamario heisman campaign begins tonight. But all jokes aside, the less he has to run tonight, the better I’ll feel about the o line play

Yes sir. O line looks much improved. Finally getting some real push in the run game. Protected kamario well.

Lebbys job is kind of on the line today. Needs another P4 win to inspire confidence

Lane Kiffin is really doing all this just to beat Mississippi State… can’t believe he’s this scared of Jeff Lebby

One fan argues coaching changes have happened too quickly

I hate this expression. We hear it every time we fire a coach. We heard it after firing Joe Moorhead after two seasons, and we went and hired Mike Leach.

We got a lot of flack when we fired Joe Moorhead after only two seasons. People were saying this all over the place.

One fan believes ULM is a weaker opponent than typical competition

I am trying to not overreact to how we’ve done so far, because it’s ULM, but this team does feel better than last year.
