The deer population of east-central Mississippi is likely celebrating Tyler Russell’s tight Christmas holiday schedule. “I might get one or two hunts in, but that’s probably about it.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1251992.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1251992.html Tue, 25 Dec 2012 21:14:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Another December. Another bowl game. Another round of scouting an entirely different opponent. Yet nobody can call Arceto Clark bored by this routine. “Knowing that your time is winding down, you’d probably rather be practicing. Because you know you’re going to miss it.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1250456.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1250456.html Wed, 19 Dec 2012 05:25:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate He’s enjoyed the down-time, relatively speaking, during the first phase of bowl camp. Not least because it gave that injured ankle more chance to heal. But starting today the Bulldogs return to a true game-preparation schedule, and Tyler Russell takes charge again. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1250038.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1250038.html Mon, 17 Dec 2012 18:15:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate There’s a sizable list of Bulldog veterans looking forward to playing a second time on EverBank Field. Of course Chad Bumphis’ case is different from his remaining 2010 teammates. “I’m excited because I missed it,” the senior wideout points out. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1247778.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1247778.html Sun, 09 Dec 2012 05:30:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Coach Dan Mullen likes the idea of balanced offense. Even so he might be surprised just how evenly Bulldog play-calling has become. And, how in conference play things are tilting towards the air attack. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1239305.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1239305.html Tue, 13 Nov 2012 05:08:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate BATON ROUGE – An improved performance, yes. A victory against a ranked opponent? No. “Unfortunately they made more plays than we did,” quarterback Tyler Russell said, after #22 Mississippi State’s 37-17 loss to #9 Louisiana State. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1238642.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1238642.html Sun, 11 Nov 2012 06:28:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate He doesn’t have quite the same reputation for fancy footwork as does his weekend counterpart. Still Tyler Russell insists, he is no statue stuck in the passing pocket either. “I know I’m capable of making plays with my legs when I need to, get two or three yards. But I’m more deadly with my arm.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1235327.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1235327.html Wed, 31 Oct 2012 17:49:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate “A big game for us obviously this week. You have two Top 25 teams, and even higher than that; I think we’re 15th or 16th, something like that. Two teams that are highly-ranked playing each other which makes it a big game. It’s the biggest game of the year for us.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1234730.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1234730.html Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:09:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Where Mississippi State could be ranked now is of purely conversational interest. The Bulldogs have no doubts where the team which spoiled their so-far perfect record should be listed. “They’re number-one for a reason,” said Johnthan Banks after a 38-7 whipping at Alabama. “I haven’t played a team like them since I’ve been in college.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1234298.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1234298.html Sun, 28 Oct 2012 09:02:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate It wasn’t so much the narrow intermission margin. It was a lack of urgency Coach Dan Mullen saw from his 15th-ranked Bulldogs, leading Middle Tennessee only 10-3 at the break. “Coach Mullen told us we played a good half, but he expects greatness out of us,” LaDarius Perkins said. “And greatness is what we expect out of ourselves. We made sure we cranked it up.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1232050.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1232050.html Sun, 21 Oct 2012 04:33:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Middle Tennessee at Mississippi State football game photo gallery. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1232032.html 2047 Gene Swindoll http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1232032.html Sun, 21 Oct 2012 03:57:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate The game was no thing of beauty. The record? Now that is just plain gorgeous from Dan Mullen’s perspective, after #23 Mississippi State coasted past South Alabama 30-10. “It’s a great win, we’ve 4-0 with a bye week,” the coach said. “We’re going to leave the month of September 4-0 which puts us in the position we wanted to be in.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1224238.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1224238.html Sun, 23 Sep 2012 05:06:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate As ol’ Diz supposedly said, it ain’t bragging if it’s a fact. So based on early-season results already, folk can take that huddle-ending chorus of “playmakers, on three!” factually. “Because all of us think we’re playmakers,” said Jameon Lewis. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1221249.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1221249.html Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:49:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate With eight practice dates done, Mississippi State’s staff wanted to see just how well and how much players have absorbed all the instruction. So the Bulldogs devoted part of Saturday’s single practice to a little scrimmaging. Not a full game-type, just some full-speed tests. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1210611.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1210611.html Sat, 11 Aug 2012 19:01:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Included is an August 4th evening photo gallery of Mississippi State's football practice. A offensive player photo gallery. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1208507.html 2047 Gene Swindoll http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1208507.html Sun, 05 Aug 2012 06:03:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate It has taken years, going on four of them now, to build this area up to competitive conference standards. Now a well-stocked wide receiver roster is finally available for Mississippi State to truly ‘spread’ the offensive gameplan. And, hopefully stretch SEC defenses a whole lot thinner in 2012. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1197001.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1197001.html Tue, 26 Jun 2012 04:00:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Never mind it looked like something scratched out in playground dirt. As far as Mississippi State is concerned that bizarre offensive formation was a success. Not least, says coordinator Les Koenning, because it worked even better than planned. “We actually thought the first time we ran it they’d call timeout and try to get the adjustment!” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1128919.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1128919.html Tue, 15 Nov 2011 19:23:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Scott Sallach likes suggestions it is something specifically practiced; the leaping catch and helmet-first landing displayed these last two games. “Yeah, I tried to put that in but the training room wasn’t high on that one,” he deadpans. “So we decided not to work on the cartwheel catch or the triple-spin.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1123660.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1123660.html Tue, 01 Nov 2011 16:05:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Mississippi State returned to the practice field Tuesday afternoon, for the first of their abbreviated open-week workouts. The Bulldogs have been off since last Saturday afternoon’s home game, and will have just three practice days before taking a real weekend break. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1118946.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1118946.html Wed, 19 Oct 2011 01:23:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Two-and-a-half seasons into his tenure, and Dan Mullen reached another coaching benchmark. For the first time during a year he changed starting quarterbacks, giving Tyler Russell the role over Chris Relf. Not that the newer man found out until late in game week. Very late. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1117789.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1117789.html Sat, 15 Oct 2011 23:47:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate
