Mississippi State coach Mike Leach doesn’t believe in wasting time, his or yours. So, after a flowery introduction by SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, Leach walked to the mic, eschewed the normal opening statement and went right to questions. Which he answered in his typical deadpan manner. But Leach isn’t always so serious. He loves to have fun in the passing game, and has quarterback Will Rogers back after a season of 505 pass attempts for 4739 yards and 36 touchdowns.
