Coach Walker jumped on the show to talk about his path to Bozeman, and of course what to expect this fall. It was a fun interview and we're excited to see what he can bring to the table.

Nice work R&R! This offense should be crazy good! Biggest question mark will be back up QB's! Can they win big games if Tommy is not available?? Coach Walker sounds confident with Reed and Wilson but.......or do they need or can they get a veteran in the portal?
Coaches will likely find their answer this spring.

My vote (even though I don't have a vote) would be both. There has got to be high character kids out there that are legit FBS level talent, but not getting to showcase it because they're stuck behind NFL level talent. I'd say let's find a good one and bring him in and let him compete against the other QBs on the roster and let the cream rises to the top.
But would they come here knowing they are stuck behind an FCS starter.

Yeah getting a good FBS QB that is excited about transferring into our situation would be like catching lightning in a bottle for a second time. Maybe there’s a guy out there by the name of a Cean Shambers though

MSU has all the tools to be a prolific passing team in 2024, if it wants to be but I don’t think it does. It’s going to be interesting to see how the offense develops. On one hand you have to be envious of Walker, but at the same time he’s almost in an impossible situation. The receivers, backs, QBs and, mostly, the OL are top notch. I’m kind of expecting less RPO.

Definitely need the right type of player, as someone else mentioned - it worked great for Sean. Plus I guarantee the coaches tell all recruits that every position is open if you can come in and compete well enough and prove to the coaches you're better. Last point, coaches can tell the recruit that we are completely fine running a 2 QB system here, and it works.


Great time to be a BOBCAT!

I was unaware of the strong connection with Housewright - how that connection is what brought Walker to Montana State. It sounds like the offensive scheme will not change very much.
He did say the play calling needed to be adjusted more to take advantage on how it being defended.
His preference is to call the game from the booth, which he believes will be aided by having a QB coach on the sidelines.

I agree with your assessment and really hope the coaches capitalize on the skill set that is present on our current roster!

MSU threw the ball less per game than it did in 2022. Not sure if that is also reflected in the percentage of runs to passes. Basically there wasn’t a big change. I think msu had more explosive run plays but also more run plays of two yards or less, which was the main difference from 22 to 23. Those “negative” run plays were the difference in at least two games. I think that’s something that could hurt MSU again in 24 if it sticks with the current system.
