Wright, Pernell McPhee and Chris White – were selected in the National Football League draft on Saturday. The trio joins Derek Sherrod, who was picked in the first round on Thursday night.

He could have stopped right there and have said enough, more than enough, about Mississippi State’s romp over Michigan in the Gator Bowl. For that matter the 52-14 scoreboard told the story quite clearly. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1035902.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1035902.html Sun, 02 Jan 2011 03:03:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Players can talk about reading and reacting. But that’s exactly what K.J. Wright and his fellow Bulldog linebackers were doing Saturday afternoon. They was reading how Michigan’s offense lined up, reacting accordingly…and making it pay off with three shutout quarters in Mississippi State’s 52-14 Gator Bowl victory. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1035839.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1035839.html Sat, 01 Jan 2011 23:41:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate CONFERENCE CALLING: Among the annual postseason plot lines is the win-loss tally of the various conferences, and most particularly how every other league scores, or not, against the Southeastern Conference. Even before the SEC went on the current—and ongoing—string of winning four straight B.C.S. championships, and five over the past decade, this league was wearing the bowl season bulls-eye. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1035563.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1035563.html Fri, 31 Dec 2010 19:26:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Included is a video interview with senior linebacker K.J.

But of course this is no ordinary practicing. The Bulldogs are going bowling and even an old hand can get excited about post-season play. Post-season practice, too. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1030807.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1030807.html Mon, 13 Dec 2010 17:36:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Included is a November 15th video interview with Mississippi State senior linebacker K.J.

Wright has been involved with three of these Dog-Kat fights, so who better to ask: how is it that the visiting team always manages to come out with the win? “I don’t know what that is,” the senior linebacker said, adding “It’s just something we have to make sure doesn’t happen this year.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1016314.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1016314.html Thu, 28 Oct 2010 16:00:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Included is video of an October 18th interview with Mississippi State senior linebacker K.J.

It also brings risks, according to Vick Ballard. “When you start having success you want to forget where you came from,” the tailback said. “So it’s always good to stay focused and take it one game at a time.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1013473.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1013473.html Tue, 19 Oct 2010 15:49:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate No, he’s not suddenly being placed into a defensive back’s role. Then again what would a slot receiver think if he rolled into his underneath-route and found a 6-4, 285 pound Pernell McPhee waiting for him? “I hope he gets scared!” says the Bulldog defensive end. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1007873.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1007873.html Fri, 01 Oct 2010 15:35:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Georgia-Mississippi State football game photo gallery. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1006149.html 2047 Gene Swindoll http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1006149.html Sun, 26 Sep 2010 17:26:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate WIDE RECEIVER CHAD BUMPHIS: Q: How pumped-up are you on the field going for fourth down? “That’s the offense’s dream! Because it shows the coach has confidence in you. And we went out and got it. But there wasn’t any doubt in anyone’s mind because we know how hard we worked and what we put in. So there was no shock to us.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1005994.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1005994.html Sun, 26 Sep 2010 04:08:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate The Game: Mississippi State (1-2, 0-2 SEC) wraps up the first month of 2010 play by hosting Georgia (1-2, 0-2 SEC) in a battle of Bulldogs at Scott Field.

Still even his new position coach and coordinator knew the answer before asking if White might like to try his hand at middle linebacker. Because for this Bulldog senior, moving to middle is just coming home. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/993692.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/993692.html Wed, 18 Aug 2010 17:29:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Mississippi State linebackers coach Manny Diaz talks about his linebackers, how they did this past spring and who is projected to be on the 1st team and who are their backups. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/978863.html 2047 Gene Swindoll http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/978863.html Thu, 24 Jun 2010 04:05:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Wednesday morning found Matt Balis doing something a bit unusual. Specifically, slowing the summer pace. With legitimate reason, of course, since no Bulldog football players were in the Holliman Center weightroom at the time. “Today they’re off,” Balis explained. And thus so was their strength coach. Sort of, anyway. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/976050.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/976050.html Wed, 09 Jun 2010 16:55:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Included is a detailed breakdown of the Mississippi State WILL linebackers based on their 2009 play and how they looked and performed during the just-completed spring practices and scrimmages. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/970779.html 2047 Jeremiah Short http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/970779.html Tue, 18 May 2010 13:42:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate
