Let’s pass out grades for the offense, defense, special teams and coaching in Mississippi State’s 17-9 win over Auburn.
Offense: B
Where was this air raid offense when Tyler Russell was playing? Granted, we didn’t have the same quality of receivers back then, but in this game Dan Mullen used creative ways in the passing game to get the offense going. Of course, maybe the problem was Mullen wasn’t completely running the offense back then like he is now.
It’s concerning that MSU only ran for 56 total yards against a defense that had been giving up 270 yards per game on the ground.
