Mississippi State Bulldogs O:8 D:8 Significant improvement is expected this season with 16 starters returning for the Bulldogs this year. However, the outlook doesn't look to be peachy. Their schedule is tough, and the offense will have to prove it can score to relieve some pressure upon its defense. There's only so much a defense can do when the offense can't score. They should better their record from a year ago, and possibly snap its 21game SEC road losing streak.
Bet on the Mississippi State Bulldogs here. The Bulldogs have posted back to back 3-8 campaigns since the beginning of the Sylvester Croom era, but they improved in a few areas last season. For one, they knocked off their first SEC West opponent in 19 tries, and improved its defense points per game average by a field goal. However, the offense still stunk out loud averaging 13.9 points per game in the SEC, and that just won't get the job done in this mighty football conference. The defense should be able to mask the offenses early shortcomings against weaker foes, but the Bulldogs will have a hard time beating any of the stiffer SEC competition if the offense still can't produce points. |
