This was the toughest game of the year to grade for Mississippi State, but I’ll try to figure out an appropriate score for offense, defense, special teams and coaching….
Offense: C-
The offensive line gave up nine sacks, but are they fully at fault for MSU only scoring six points? Sure, that hurt really bad but they haven’t been very good against elite defensive lineman and Bama is stacked with them so it shouldn’t have come as a huge surprise. It kind of is what it is.
The fact is the Bulldogs out-gained the Tide for the second straight year and still lost.
