Getting to know Mississippi State’s new defense

The Bulldogs will have an entirely new defensive coaching staff in 2016:

  • Defensive Line: Brian Baker
  • Linebackers (and DC): Peter Sirmon
  • Safeties: Mourice Linguist
  • Cornerbacks: Terrell Buckley

In with a new coaching staff, so why not mix things up a little bit? Here is how the MSU defense will look this fall…

Defensive Line

They’ll be mostly playing in a 3-4 scheme, which is a change of pace from the past. This group will be led by senior defensive end A.J. Jefferson who is arguably the player this D cannot afford to lose to injury.
