So Jay Hughes sees no need to call him ‘coach’ or such when giving tips and making points to fellow Bulldog defensive backs. “Not quite! I’ve got Coach Hughes right behind me so that’s enough for me!” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1282354.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1282354.html Wed, 10 Apr 2013 06:47:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Honestly, it’s really the chance of weather rather than over-eagerness that advanced the spring practice schedule a day. Either way works for Dan Mullen. “I know we’re excited to get back out on the field. Our guys are excited to get back out on the field. This is what we do it for.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1276391.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1276391.html Wed, 20 Mar 2013 19:48:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Dan Mullen was happy. Chilled to be sure—“The sun comes out, finally, after freezing for two hours!”—yet smiling all the same. Because even a cold wind didn’t take any edge of what the coach saw during today’s practice. “You know the great thing about these guys? They love playing football.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1249523.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1249523.html Sat, 15 Dec 2012 18:07:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Such a fine time was had by all Bulldogs two years ago, why not do it all over again? So Mississippi State is happily taking a return trip to Jacksonville for New Years Day to play in the Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1245813.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1245813.html Sun, 02 Dec 2012 22:55:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate It sounds so simple. To fans staring at conference sacking statistics, or frustrated watching completed passes, the solution seems obvious. Pressure, aggression, blitzing, whatever, just attack and the sacks will surely follow. Chris Wilson has heard it. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1239527.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1239527.html Tue, 13 Nov 2012 19:40:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Everybody else has noticed who currently tops the Bulldog defense in tackles. That’s good because the man himself only finds out such things second-hand. “To be honest I don’t pay attention to the stats,” Benardrick McKinney said. “I hear people talking about them but I’m like thank you, and give them back.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1233502.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1233502.html Thu, 25 Oct 2012 16:13:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate The break was welcome. Still the down-time did cost Darius Slay his NCAA interceptions lead. So yes, the Bulldog cornerback said today, getting gloves on more passes is his objective. “I’m trying to, I work hard for them every week.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1226928.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1226928.html Mon, 01 Oct 2012 23:57:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Mississippi State returned to work Tuesday, as part of the open-date schedule. Coach Dan Mullen has the Bulldogs on a short week of three practices, with the corresponding goals of A) keeping the veterans just sharp enough and B) giving the second and third teamers camp-style snaps for their development. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1225172.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1225172.html Wed, 26 Sep 2012 01:29:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate One just knows. That as they scouted Troy tape from this past Saturday, a couple pairs of Bulldog eyes were lighting up at the sight of alllllll those Trojan throws. “Me and Nickoe ain’t got an interception yet,” Corey Broomfield agreed. “So we’re thinking optimistic, you know. We’re trying to get our hands on the ball this week.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1220648.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1220648.html Wed, 12 Sep 2012 00:59:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Tony Hughes was not nervous, really. Preseason results encouraged Mississippi State’s safeties coach his starters would perform. Still with one starter entirely new to the position and the other coming off a major injury, there were some opening-night questions. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1218025.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1218025.html Tue, 04 Sep 2012 16:40:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Mississippi State safeties coach Tony Hughes is excited about the talent of his young players. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1209460.html 2047 Gene Swindoll http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1209460.html Wed, 08 Aug 2012 02:16:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Dan Mullen had lots of things to look for Thursday afternoon. But it was something the Mississippi State coach did not see in the opening practice of preseason that likely pleased him most. “It wasn’t confused looks on peoples’ faces. And we put a lot in on them today.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1207844.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1207844.html Fri, 03 Aug 2012 01:38:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate It was odd enough back in spring not having those familiar facemasks on the practice field. And come August training camp excuse Coach Tony Hughes if he accidentally calls out for Charles or Wade, only to remember…those four-year fixtures in the Bulldog defensive backfield are gone. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1196988.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1196988.html Fri, 06 Jul 2012 00:10:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Chris Wilson claims he isn’t a big statistics guy. But obviously he has been looking at the SEC’s latest listings. Because the defensive coordinator sure has a good idea where his Bulldogs stack up this week. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1128605.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1128605.html Mon, 14 Nov 2011 23:06:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate The Game: Mississippi State (4-4) steps outside conference play for the last time this regular season, hosting Tennessee-Martin (5-3) in a 6:30 meeting at Scott Field. CSS has the telecast, while the MSU broadcast will be carried on XM201 and Sirius216. Pre-game broadcasts begin at 3:30 locally on 100.9 and 96.3 FM, with the network broadcast at 4:30. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1124688.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1124688.html Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:16:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Louisiana Tech at Mississippi State football game photo gallery. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1110355.html 2047 Gene Swindoll http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1110355.html Sun, 25 Sep 2011 04:23:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate MEMPHIS – Surely Vick Ballard must have had some clue he was off to a career night. Not so, he insisted, when told of a personal-best 166 yard evening against Memphis. “I didn’t even know! I was out there doing my job.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1101933.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1101933.html Fri, 02 Sep 2011 09:59:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate The Bulldogs themselves may have gotten a Saturday to rest. To recuperate, too, after extended evening efforts out on Scott Field. Their coaches? No rest for these men, not with 151 snaps worth of Friday scrimmage action to be evaluated before practicing resumes Monday. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1097733.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1097733.html Sat, 20 Aug 2011 18:24:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Enclosed is a photo gallery of Mississippi State's August 6th afternoon football practice. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1092938.html 2047 Gene Swindoll http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1092938.html Sat, 06 Aug 2011 23:06:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate It’s really a simple thing, this business of banging bodies at practice. As Dan Mullen sees things, pulling on padding ought to punch every competitive button on a ballplayer. “If it doesn’t, then you don’t like football!” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1092940.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1092940.html Sat, 06 Aug 2011 23:05:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate
