Mississippi State held its fifth bowl practice on Tuesday morning and final one in Starkville that will be open to the public and media. I don’t have quite as many notes for you due to a men’s basketball press conference with Ben Howland and Malik Newman scheduled for the same time.
But here are a few things I jotted down in my notebook while I was out there for the final few periods of football practice.
It was the Bulldogs’ first practice in full pads during bowl prep.
Junior defensive tackle Nick James dressed out fully and participated for the first time since practices began last Friday.
