Isn't MSU missing a couple starting OL?

Rodgers not sharp, but WRs have dropped several passes.

ttu's superbowl, but arrogant MSU thinking easy win.

the best was when the one poster said he's glad Elko left and the next guy will be an upgrade because he couldn't stop this offense lol

Yep. It’s amusing how many people confuse his entertaining persona and being a good head coach.

eh, he's decent but he's also like the old adage about running backs.  you give him Bama's roster and schedule he'll go 7-5, you give him NM State's roster and schedule he'll go 7-5.

Cumbie was pretty cocky as a player.  Tech just recovered a fumble.  It would not surprise me to see him throw into the end zone.

Cumbie was dogshit the whole year he started

No idea how he somehow managed to outplay Aaron Rodgers in the Holiday Bowl, he pulled that performance all the way out of his ass

He played in both 70 point games -- TCU and Nebraska.  Back when Nebraska was a fearsome team.

Spoiler

2000–2003[edit]

Cumbie walked on at Texas Tech, where he had enrolled as a student. Cumbie was on the scout team during the 2000 season, and earned a scholarship to be on the team prior to the 2001 season. He served as third-string quarterback behind Kliff Kingsbury and BJ Symons during the 2001 season. Cumbie saw his first action during a 2002 win over New Mexico. He completed his first pass against Baylor University. After Kingsbury graduated, Symons was named the starter and Cumbie became the back-up. Tech blew out many opponents that year, giving Cumbie plenty of mop up time. He threw his first and only touchdown as a back-up against Baylor in a 62–0 rout in 2003. Prior to the 2004 season, he completed 40 passes out of 62 attempts for 374 yards and a touchdown with a 65.5 completion percentage.

2004[edit]

Cumbie earned the starting spot for the 2004 season over highly recruited junior college quarterback Robert Johnson and redshirt junior Cody Hodges. Cumbie led the Raiders to 7 regular season wins over SMU (27–13), TCU (70–35), Kansas (31–30), Nebraska (70–10), Kansas State (35–25), Baylor (42–17), and Oklahoma State (31–15). The Raiders were upset by New Mexico 27–24 and lost close games to division rivals Oklahoma (28–13), an overtime loss to Texas A&M (32–25), and were also defeated by the University of Texas (51–21). The Raiders finished the regular season 7–4, with a 5–3 conference record tied for third in the Big 12 South, and were invited to play a top 5 University of California team in the Holiday Bowl. Cumbie finished the regular season as the national leader in passing yards and passing offense.

Cumbie lead #23 ranked Texas Tech to a win in the 2004 Holiday Bowl over Aaron Rodgers, who led the #4 California Golden Bears. The Raiders were huge underdogs, but Cumbie went 39–60 (65%) and a career-high 520 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Raiders to the win.[1] His performance in that game earned him M.V.P. honors. Cumbie finished the season his Senior season with 4,742 passing yards, completing 65.6 percent of his passes for 32 touchdown passes and 18 interceptions, and became the third straight Red Raider quarterback to lead the nation in passing.

Yeah I know but he and Potts were the worst QBs of the Leach era by a wide margin.
