Theo DeRosa, a Mississippi State football beat writer and sports editor of The Dispatch in Starkville, answers some key questions ahead of Saturday's game.
Arizona Daily Star Theo DeRosa, a Mississippi State football beat writer and sports editor of The Dispatch in Starkville, Mississippi, joined ESPN Tucson earlier this week to provide insight on the Bulldogs.Will Rogers threw for 450 yards and five touchdowns against Memphis in the season opener. How would you assess Rogers and the threat he poses to the Wildcats’ defense?
A: “The stats are going to look like that when you’re in a Mike Leach/’Air Raid’ offense and you’re completing all of these short passes, but he had a great week and a great season last year. I don’t know if he’s superhuman, but he’s capable of doing what Mississippi State needs. He was impressive and started airing it out a little bit more than we’ve seen in past seasons. He’s a junior now, so he’s mastered the ‘Air Raid’ scheme, and that’s bad news for opposing defenses.
