The Mike Leach renaissance at MSU got a rude awakening last week when Arkansas broke a 20-game SEC losing streak at the Bulldogs’ expense. But not prepared to completely bail on the Leach Air Raid if oddsmakers provide enough cushion at Lexington. UK about to dig itself an 0-3 hole to climb out of if it can’t turn things around soon, and apparent that the Cats are missing some of the spark that graduated Lynn Bowden provided the offense down the stretch last season. But it’s defense that concerns Mark Stoops after Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss aerial show rallied from a 2-TD deficit last week. Would not expect MSU’s Stanford transfer QB K.J. Costello to make some of the same mistakes (such as 3 picks) that got him in trouble vs. the Razorbacks, and the new Rocky Long-style Bulldog D (coordinated bye ex-San Diego State d.c. Zack Arnett) has mostly flustered the first two opponents. Willing to give Leach another look in dog role that has been profitable for him lately (15-8 since days at Wazzu)
