Mississippi State's Mike Leach throws players under bus after Kentucky game, but this loss is on him

All started beautifully for the Mike Leach era at Mississippi State, with his Air Raid offense surprising defending national champions LSU with a 44-34 win. It was a statement to the SEC that Leach-ball was here, and by the looks of that first game anyway, unstoppable.

It has now proven stoppable. And like so many times before, Leach is lashing out after the result, this time putting the blame on the players, and saying that some may be “malcontents” that will require a “purge.”

Kentucky beat Mississippi State 24-2 on Saturday. That score is not a misprint. Leach’s high-flying offense scored zero points, with the defense doing the work with a lone safety.

And after the game, Leach put the onus not on himself, but rather on the players.

.... my Arkansas Razorbacks broke their 3 year long SEC drought with the win over Mississippi State, then ranked number 16. A shame the refs completely robbed Arkansas of a win over Auburn. Opinions are running about 3 to 1 for Arkansas. The 1 made up of mostly crying Auburn fans.
