Sometimes I wonder just how this program has gone from being very competitive in the SEC West to being, well, not. Please correct me if I am wrong, but we were picked to be a top-15 team heading into the 2018 season, right? I mean, this program was just about as high as it has ever been outside of the 2014 team that was ranked No. 1 in the nation for five straight weeks. So how does a program in that condition fall this quick with no end in sight?
When Joe Moorhead arrived in Starkville, he inherited a very established team that included a top-5, nationally-ranked defense and an offense led by quarterback Nick Fitzgerald, who set the conference rushing record for a quarterback.
