Saturday saw the debuts of four new SEC head coaches. All four came into Saturday as heavy underdogs, and three of them predictably lost.
And then there was new Mississippi State head coach Mike Leach. The veteran of 18 years at Texas Tech and Washington State, in his first game with the Bulldogs, piloted a 44-34 win over defending national champion LSU. The easiest explanation is that State, as expected, threw the ball all over the field behind new quarterback K.J. Costello. As for LSU, well, they probably have more issues than their preseason No.
