Fresh off a much needed victory over Texas A&M, Mississippi State will face Louisiana Tech Saturday in Starkville. But there is one star wideout for the opposing Bulldogs that deserves extra attention, and his name is Adrian Hardy. While Mississippi State should win this game, make no mistake that Hardy will have something to say on the field and fill the stat line.
Having posted 644 yards on 38 receptions for five touchdowns, Hardy has already made a statement in his sophomore campaign. At 6-2, Louisiana Tech has not disappointed, in large part due to his numbers. Though it resulted in a 38-21 loss, Hardy’s standout performance came against the now third ranked LSU Tigers, as he caught 10 balls for 181 yards and two touchdowns.
