Coach: Dan Mullen (61–42 in eight seasons at MSU; 29-35 in SEC)
2016 record: 6-7 (3-5 in SEC, T-5th in West Division)
CB969 2016 Prediction: 8-5 "...Despite the loss of the greatest Bulldogs quarterback ever, sophomore Nick Fitzgerald should be a serviceable field general. The defense projects eight starting seniors but depth is a serious issue....”
Looking back: The Bullies inexplicably started out the 2016 campaign with a home loss to South Alabama and lumbered their way to a disappointing 5-7 record.
