As we enter the summer, the expectations in Starkville are high. Over the Past 4 Seasons the Bulldogs have posted a 34-18 record. In 2017 they went 9-4 and the season culminated in a 31-27 win over Louisville in The TaxSlayer Bowl. However, the end of the season was overshadowed by a cringe-worthy ankle injury for JR QB Nick Fitzgerald in the Egg Bowl. In 2018, the outlook is optimistic and there’s a lot of excitement around this talented group who have added Joe Moorehead at Headcoach. For Mississippi State to elevate to a double digit win team and a chance to win the SEC Title, they’ll need to improve enough to stand up to the Georgia’s and Alabama’s of the SEC.
