Breaking down Mississippi State's offense under head coach Jeff Lebby
Mississippi State v Arizona State | Bruce Yeung/GettyImagesSaturday's matchup for the Sun Devils features not only a vastly different atmosphere, but a much different offensive scheme to prepare for.
A protégé of Art Briles, head coach Jeff Lebby has utilized the "veer and shoot" offensive style that was a hallmark of Briles' teams during his tenure at Baylor from 2008-2015.
The veer and shoot relies on the following key pieces: tempo, run-pass options, and utilizing the deep pass. Quarterback Blake Shapen will be tasked with keeping up a fast-paced offense, trying to keep the Sun Devils on their heels and leaning on the talented backfield of Davon Booth and Fluff Bothwell.
