Henig vs. Carroll: Carroll wins! (obviously)

November 2, 2007

With their first 135ish passes you can see a significant difference between Henig and Carroll. I believe this bodes well for the next three years of Mississippi State football. The statistics are especially significant because Carroll is a true freshman in a difficult system while Henig had years of preparation.

MSU QB Carroll Receives Maisel Praise

November 1, 2007

 ESPN’s Ivan Maisel has written a nice piece on what I think is the major reason State has seemed to turn the corner.  I want to give Croom the credit for getting Carroll and having him in a position to be able to contribute so early  on.   But, Carroll has taken his opportunity and not looked back.  He is now firmly entrenched in the starting QB roll for the foreseeable future.  This is a very good thing for Bulldog fans.

The Ivan Maisel article can be found: here.

His stats range from average (75-for-137, 54.7 percent, 702 yards) to below average (107.42 rating) to stunningly good — Carroll already has set the school record for consecutive passes without an interception at 137 and counting.
