Mullen has had much closer games in almost every season as a head coach.
Last night was the type of game where the final outcome wasn't really in doubt, but was a tougher game than most fans, including myself, expected to see. Some fans appeared to panic. A few of our writers have already recapped some of what went wrong against USM, and the fact that Leonard Fournette is coming to Starkvegas next week and likes to hurt people means that MSU has to play better next week. However, Mullen has struggled against one out of conference opponent every year he has been in Starkville.
