Dan Mullen has spearheaded Mississippi State to unprecedented sustained success and reenergized the Bulldog fan base in the process. The MSU faithful have gone on to watch the head coach lead the Maroon and White to five straight bowl games for the first time in now the 115th year of the program.

Just six years into his tenure, Mullen (4630, .605) owns the highest winning percentage as a coach at State since the late Allyn McKeen from 1939-48 (.764), and he is third in school history for wins by a MSU head coach (46).

In 2014, Mullen guided the Bulldogs to three straight wins over top-10 teams, a first in college football since 1983 Auburn. In the process, he led the program to its first ever No. 1 ranking, a spot it spent five straight weeks. For his efforts, he was recognized as the Associated Press Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year and a finalist for the Maxwell Football Club Collegiate Coach of the Year.

Mullen became the MSU all-time leader in bowl game victories with three when the Bulldogs trounced Rice 44-7 in the 2013 AutoZone Liberty Bowl. On top of that, Mullen owns a 4-2 record in the Egg Bowl rivalry, the second-highest winning percentage (.667) at MSU all-time against Ole Miss. He ranks third all-time in MSU winning percentage among coaches who have coached more than four seasons.

From the moment of his introduction on Dec. 10, 2008, as the 32nd head coach in school history, supporters have turned out in record numbers and capacity crowds to support the Bulldogs.

Mullen was widely regarded as one of the top young minds in college football when he arrived at Mississippi State, and he brought not only an impressive offensive resume and a list of NFL-developed quarterbacks, but also an energy and passion for the college game.

A total of 13 players have been selected in the NFL Draft during Mullen’s MSU tenure. Of those 13, seven were considered ‘three-stars’ by recruiting services in high school. All seven of those are still in the NFL. The 2014 season was arguably the best in

school history as Mullen’s group won 10 regular season games for the first time in program history and claimed six SEC wins, the most by MSU since 1999. The Bulldogs finished second in the difficult SEC West and were tabbed seventh in the final College Football Playoff rankings. That propelled the squad to a berth in the Orange Bowl for the first time since 1941.

Mullen’s team rewrote the MSU record books in 2014, shattering 22 single-season records, including 10 by National Player of the Year finalist Dak Prescott. Prescott delivered the finest season by an MSU signal caller in school history and finished eighth in the vote for the Heisman Trophy. Prescott continued a long line of Mullen developed quarterbacks that includes Alex Smith and Tim Tebow.

Mullen developed a team that went from unranked to No. 1 quicker than any in college football history. The Bulldogs entered Sept. 20 at eighth-ranked LSU just outside the polls.

Following a dazzling display by Prescott, MSU recorded its first victory in Tiger Stadium since 1991. Four weeks later, the Bulldogs were the nation’s No. 1 team following wins over No. 6 Texas A&M and No. 2 Auburn.

Off the field, Mullen’s players are constant achievers in the classroom and the community donating countless hours to the Starkville area and state of Mississippi. Eighteen Bulldogs were named to the SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll in 2013. During Mullen’s entire five-year tenure at MSU, 90 players have earned the distinction of SEC Academic Honor Roll recipient.

The 42-year-old has helped the program improve its NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) every year in his tenure, including most recently the SEC’s fourth-best football APR with a score of 974. MSU is the only SEC football program to improve its NCAA APR score every year since the formula’s inception.

The Mullen’s created the Mullen Family 36 Foundation, raising more than $250,000 for charity in the last two years. The foundation has impacted the lives of 36 different children’s charities throughout the state of Mississippi.

2014 TIMELINE AUGUST 30

The 2014 opener was a special one as it kicked off the 100th season of Scott Field at Davis Wade Stadium.

In the summer prior, Davis Wade underwent a $75 million expansion and renovation that closed in the north endzone and took the capacity from 55,000 to over 61,000. The Bulldogs shut out Southern Miss, 49-0 as a record crowd of 61,889 looked on.

SEPTEMBER 20

MSU captured the national spotlight in grand fashion, with a 34-29 win at No. 8 LSU under the lights. It was the first win for the Bulldogs over the Bayou Bengals since 1999, the first such in Baton Rouge since 1991. Dak Prescott’s 56-yard touchdown run and now infamous stiffarm (pictured) contributed to his 373 total yards of offense.

Another top 10 team squared off against MSU and for the third-straight week, another top 10 team fell to the No. 3 Bulldogs, this time No. 2 Auburn, 38-23. A record crowd of 62,945 was on hand at Scott Field to watch MSU jump out front 21-0 and never look back. Prescott recorded his fourth game of the season with 200 yards passing and 100 yards rushing.

OCTOBER 4

Continuing their historic climb, the No. 12 Bulldogs hosted No. 6 Texas A&M in a battle of the unbeatens, but MSU would be the only one to escape unscathed. Three interceptions from linebacker Richie Brown helped MSU to a 48-31 win and the program to two wins over top 10 opponents in the same season for the first time in school history.

For the Texas A&M game, SEC Nation originated from The Junction on the south side of Davis Wade. “The weekend in Starkville was one of the most electric and extraordinary I’ve ever experienced covering the Southeastern Conference.

I have never seen anything quite like this in my 35 years of covering college football.”

– Paul Finebaum (10.4.14)

For the matchup of top three teams, College GameDay was in The Junction for the first time ever. Former MSU pitcher Jonathan Paplebon was the guest picker. Lee Corso picked the Bulldogs by donning the head gear and MSU proved him to be right.

2014 TIMELINE OCTOBER 12

Less than 24 hours after MSU became only the fifth school in college football history to win three-straight games against top 10 foes, the Bulldogs were voted No. 1 in the Associated Press Top 25. The five-week rise from unranked to No. 1 was the quickest jump of its kind in history.

25

The inaugural College Football Playoff rankings are released and MSU is No. 1, a position they would hold for three weeks.

NOVEMBER 9

A commanding 45-16 win over UT Martin on Homecoming lifted MSU to 9-0, its best nine-game start in program history.

DECEMBER 7 With a 51-0 win on Senior Night over Vanderbilt, the 2014 Bulldogs became the second team in program history to go 7-0 at home, matching the 1999 team’s mark.

22

MSU is ranked as the No. 7 team by the CFP committee, placing them in the Capital One Orange Bowl. The Bulldogs have been ranked in the CFP top 10 for all seven weeks.

Oct. 3, 2009 • Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field Starkville, Miss. • 50,035

No. 25 Georgia Tech raced out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter and held off MSU late en route to a 42-31 victory. Tech quickly opened the contest by scoring on its first two possessions. The Yellow Jackets went up 7-0 after an 8-play, 47-yard drive capped by a 24-yard run by Stephen Hill and then swelled their lead to 14-0 with less than a minute left in the first quarter. However, Mississippi State responded quickly and closed the gap to 14-7 when junior Leon Berry returned the ensuing kickoff 89 yards for a touchdown. Derek DePasquale nailed a 31-yard field goal, his first wearing the Maroon & White, to make the score 28-17 at the break. In the third quarter after the Yellow Jackets went up 35-17, State again responded with points of its own. This time, it was Bumphis again finding the end zone on a 69-yard catch-and-run pass from Tyson Lee. The Yellow Jackets, who manufactured 479 total yards of offense and totaled 23 first downs, got their final points of the evening on an Anthony Allen 5-yard rushing touchdown. With just 3:41 remaining, senior running back Christian Ducre scored from 4-yards out. State had one more drive to try and add more points, but those hopes ended when Lee’s final pass of the game was intercepted by Mario Butler at the Tech 16 with just 28 tics left on the clock.

SEEKING THE FIRST 11-WIN SEASON IN MSU HISTORY No team in the 115-year history of MSU football has won 11 games in a season. With a 51-0 shutout of Vanderbilt, the Bulldogs reached 10 regular season wins for the first time in school history. It’s also the third 10-win season overall in school history, joining the 1999 and 1940 teams. MSU recorded six SEC victories for just the third time in program history (2014, 1998, ‘99). MSU secured its first winning record in conference play for the first time since 1999.

MSU IS 10-7 IN BOWL GAMES; MULLEN TOPS IN WINS MSU is making its 18th bowl apperarance and school-record fifth straight. Dan Mullen has guided the Bulldogs to a bowl game in five of his six seasons. The only season he did not was his first one in 2009. Mullen has won more games (three) than any coach in school history. The Bulldogs are 10-7 in bowl games and 3-1 under Mullen. This is the third Orange Bowl Mullen has coached in (one as a graduate assistant at Syracuse in 1999, one as offensive coordinator at Florida in 2007).

PARTY LIKE IT’S 1941 MSU is making its first Orange Bowl appearance since the 1940 team played in the 1941 game on Jan. 1, 1941, defeating #13 Georgetown, 14-7. That was 73 years ago. MSU’s first-ever bowl appearance was also in the Orange Bowl when the 1936 squad lost to Duquesne, 13-12, on Jan. 1, 1937. The Bulldogs are the first SEC team to play in a non-national title game Orange Bowl since Florida beat Maryland 56-23, on Jan. 2, 2002. Sun Life Stadium hosted the 2013 BCS National Championship when Alabama beat Notre Dame. This is the fifth Florida bowl MSU has played in its history (third Orange Bowl, two Gator Bowls).

DAK FINISHES EIGHTH IN HEISMAN TROPHY VOTING After putting together the most prolific season by a quarterback in Mississippi State football history, Dak Prescott finished higher in the Heisman Trophy vote than any MSU player ever by taking eighth on Dec. 13. Prescott received 42 points, becoming just the second MSU player to earn votes in the 80 years of the Heisman Trophy. Tom “Shorty” McWilliams, who was enshrined into MSU football’s Ring of Honor earlier this season, finished 10th in the balloting in 1944. Dak received two first-place votes, four second-place votes and 28 third-place votes.

MCKINNEY, BECKWITH, DAK NAMED ALL-AMERICANS Junior linebacker Benardrick McKinney and senior offensive lineman Ben Beckwith both earned All-America honors this season. Junior quarterback Dak Prescott was an honorable mention selection by SI.com. MSU has produced at least one All-American for now five straight seasons.

McKinney was a first-team selection by the Football Writers Association of America and ESPN. com. McKinney was voted second team by Associated Press, Sporting News and Walter Camp.

McKinney is the sixth linebacker in school history to earn All-America honors from any organization, joining D.D. Lewis (1967), Ray Costict (1976), Johnie Cooks (1981), Barrin Simpson (1999) and Mario Haggan (2000). Beckwith was a third-team selection by the Associated Press. It’s the second straight year that MSU has produced an All-American offensive lineman. Gabe Jackson, now a starter with the Oakland Raiders, was selected last season.

MULLEN FINALIST FOR NATIONAL COACH OF THE YEAR Dan Mullen, the 2014 Associated Press Coach of the Year, is a finalist for three national coach of the year awards: American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), Bobby Dodd and Maxwell Football Club. He is the only coach in school history to be named a finalist for the awards. Jackie Sherrill was a semifinalist for National Coach of the Year in 1999. A group of 20 semifinalists were trimmed to Mullen, Ohio State’s Urban Meyer and Oregon’s Mark Helfrich for the Maxwell Award. Mullen is the only coach of the three to lead a squad from unranked to current top 10. No coach in college football history led a squad from unranked to No. 1 quicker than Mullen as the Bulldogs spent five straight weeks in the top spot.

MSU IN TOP 10 FOR 10 STRAIGHT WEEKS

BULLDOGS IN THE NFL (WEEK 14)

For the 10th straight week, MSU is ranked in the top 10 of the polls. The Bulldogs come in at No. 8 in both the Associated Press Top 25 and USA Today Coaches poll. MSU was No. 7 in the final College Football Playoff rankings. It’s the highest ranking MSU ever takes into a bowl. The Bulldogs spent five straight week’s as the nation’s No. 1 ranked team until suffering their first loss of the season at Alabama on Nov. 15. Following a 38-23 win over then-No. 2 Auburn, the Bulldogs vaulted to No. 1 in the polls on Oct. 12 for the first time in the 115-year history of the program. The Bulldogs were the first team in the Associated Press poll’s 78-year history to go from unranked to No. 1 in five weeks. The previous mark was six weeks by Ohio State in 1954.

Prior to this season, the highest ranking in school history was No. 7 on Oct. 26, 1981. MSU has been ranked for 12 consecutive weeks, the longest streak since 12 weeks in a row from Oct. 17, 2010 to Sept. 18, 2011. The current streak is the fourth longest in school history. The longest streak in school history is 17 from 1980-81. The Bulldogs own a 15-10 record under Dan Mullen when playing as a ranked team. MSU is seeking to finish a season ranked for the first time since 2010 when it was No. 15. Only one time in school history have the Bulldogs ever finished a season ranked in the top 10 - 1940 (ninth).

3,000-1,000?

Dak Prescott is seeking to become the first player in MSU history to throw for over 3,000 yards and rush for over 1,000 yards in a season.

Since the start of the 2004 season, only one other SEC quarterback has achieved the feat - Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel in 2012. Prescott is four passing yards away from becoming the first 3,000-yard passer in school history. He is 61 rushing yards away from 1,000. MSU has never produced two 1,000-yard rushers in the same season. Josh Robinson has already eclipsed the mark with 1,128 yards on 177 carries.

PERFECTION AT HOME With the win over Vanderbilt on Nov. 22, MSU completed its first undefeated home season since 1999. It was also only the second sevenwin home season in school history.

MAKING HISTORY WITH THREE STRAIGHT TOP-10 WINS With its 38-23 triumph over then-No. 2 Auburn on Oct. 11, MSU became just the fifth team in college football history to win three consecutive games over Associated Press top-10 opponents. The 1983 Auburn team led by Bo Jackson was the last one to do it. The others: 1959 Georgia Tech, 1945 Army and 1943 Notre Dame. The Bulldogs defeated No. 8 LSU, No. 6 Texas A&M and No. 2 Auburn. The three wins over top-10 teams is the most in a season by MSU. MSU’s three wins over ranked teams is also a single-season school record.

RARE TO TRAIL

POINTS RECORD

In 720 minutes of football this season, MSU has trailed 149 minutes and 4 seconds. Most of that came in the Arkansas game on Nov. 1, at No. 3 Alabama and at No. 18 Ole Miss. Under Dan Mullen, the Bulldogs are 42-1 all-time when taking a lead into the fourth quarter. The only loss in that scenario was last year at Auburn when MSU took a 20-17 lead into the final stanza and lost 24-20. The Bulldogs have won 13 straight games since that loss when taking a lead into the fourth. MSU has started fast for most of the season, outscoring opponents 106-35 in the first quarter.

Here is a breakdown of when MSU has trailed this season: Opponent Time Southern Miss Never trailed UAB Trailed 4:30 at South Alabama Never trailed at No. 8 LSU Never trailed No. 6 Texas A&M Trailed 2:49 No. 2 Auburn Never trailed at Kentucky Never trailed Arkansas Trailed 41:25 UT Martin Never trailed at No. 3 Alabama Trailed 53:49 Vanderbilt Never trailed at No. 18 Ole Miss Trailed 47:31

MSU LEADS SEC IN TOTAL OFFENSE

“BOWLING BALL” JOSH ROBINSON Junior running back Josh Robinson, a second-team All-SEC recipient, is third in the SEC and ranks 41st nationally in rushing yards per game with 94.0 ypg. Robinson has rushed for 1,128 yards on 177 carries with 11 rushing touchdowns. The 11 rushing TDs is fourth in the SEC. • Nicknamed “Bowling Ball” for his 5-foot-9, 215-pound stature and running style, Robinson is second in the SEC with 6.4 yards per carry (min. 100 carries).

• Robinson is MSU’s first 1,000-yard rusher since LaDarius Perkins had 1,024 in 2012. Robinson rushed for a career-best 198 yards on 23 carries at Kentucky on Oct. 25. He accounted for two highlight reel runs -- a 22-yard run midway through the third quarter in which he broke seven tackles and a career-long 73-yard touchdown run with 11:47 to go in the fourth quarter. Robinson’s 198 yards were the most by an MSU player since Anthony “Boobie” Dixon rushed for 252 yards at Kentucky on Oct. 31, 2009.

• Earlier this season, Robinson had 197 rushing yards at No. 8 LSU. The 197 rushing yards (12.3 YPC) were the most against LSU by a RB since Arkansas’ Darren McFadden in 2007 (206, 6.4). Robinson has tallied four 100-yard rushing games this season. @HAILSTATEFB

MSU has shattered the school record for points in a season with 446, eclipsing the old mark of 390 in 2000. MSU has scored 34 or more points in nine of 12 games this season (had 17 vs. Arkansas, 20 at Alabama, 17 at Ole Miss). Dating back to last season’s 44-7 Liberty Bowl win over Rice, the Bulldogs have scored over 34 points in 10 of its last 13 games. MSU’s scoring offense is averaging 37.2 points per game, which is second in the SEC and 15th nationally. That tally is currently best in school history, topping the mark of 36.1 in 1914. The Bulldogs have also broken the school record for offensive touchdowns in a season with 56. The previous best was 47 last season.

The Bulldogs have accumulated 6,074 yards of total offense through, which surpasses the previous school record of 5,647 set last year. MSU is averaging 506.2 yards per game, which leads the SEC and is ninth nationally. It’s also on pace for a school record. The previous single-season school record was 434.4 in 2013. The Bulldogs have gone over 500 yards of total offense in eight of its 12 games, which is a school record.

The only games MSU did not go over 500 yards was against Auburn (469 yards), Arkansas (459 yards), Alabama (428 yards) and Ole Miss (445 yards). MSU has thrown 28 touchdown passes and rushed for 28 scores. That ties the school record for TD passes set in 2012, while the rushing record is 31 scores in 1974. The top five highest single-season team passing touchdown and total offense marks in MSU history have all occured in the Dan Mullen era.

BEAR FORCE ONE Sophomore De’Runnya Wilson has been one of the nation’s most productive wide receivers on third down. Five of Wilson’s seven touchdowns this season have come on third down, which leads the nation. He has made 13 catches on third down this season, 11 of which have gone for first downs.

• Nicknamed “Bear” by his high school coach, Wilson did not start playing football until his senior year of high school. Wilson was the 2013 Mr. Basketball in the state of Alabama and played the 2013-14 season on the hardwood with the Bulldogs. He has since chosen to focus strictly on football.

• For the season, Wilson has made 38 catches for 575 yards and seven touchdowns.

• In his last outing, Wilson tallied his first career 100-yard receiving game, making eight catches for 117 yards and a brilliant 32-yard TD reception.

MULLEN THIRD IN MSU ALL-TIME WINS WITH 46 Dan Mullen has spearheaded Mississippi State to unprecedented success in now his sixth year. With the victory over UAB, he moved into sole possession of third place in MSU all-time victories. With a 46-30 (.605) record, the 42-year-old is just the third coach in school history to win 40 games and the quickest to do it since Allyn McKeen in 1944.

McKeen won his 40th game on Nov. 11, 1944 at Auburn (in his 47th game). Mullen won No. 40 in game 68. McKeen and Mullen are the only two coaches in school history to post 45 wins and own a winning percentage over .500. Mullen has led MSU to five consecutive bowl games for the first time in school history while recording a schoolrecord three bowl wins.

For the sixth time in his career, McKinney registered double-digit tackles as he recorded a team-high 12 and a career-best 3.5 tackles for loss against UAB in Week 2. The 12 tackles were the most by McKinney since tallying a career-best 14 versus Texas A&M on Nov. 3, 2012. McKinney’s 3.5 tackles for loss against UAB were the most by an MSU player since current NFL player Fletcher Cox had 3.5 at Kentucky on Oct. 29, 2011.

McKinney had a team-high seven tackles in the win at No. 8 LSU on Sept. 20 and nine tackles in the win over No. 6 Texas A&M on Oct. 4. McKinney is a projected NFL first round draft pick should elect to forego his senior season.

TRIFECTA: DAK CAN THROW, RUN, CATCH For the third time in his career, Dak Prescott caught a touchdown pass from WR Jameon Lewis as the two connected 24-yard touchdown with 4:27 remaining in the second quarter of the South Alabama game on Sept. 13. Prescott lateraled to Lewis, who fired back to Prescott on the near side of the field.

• All three of Prescott’s career receiving TDs have come from Lewis passes.

• It was also the second time in Prescott’s career that he has run, thrown and caught a touchdown pass in the same game. He did it against Troy last season on Sept. 21. He caught a 17-yard TD pass from Lewis in last year’s Kentucky game on Oct. 24 as well but did not run for a score in that contest.

On Sept. 6 against UAB, Dak Prescott became the first quarterback in MSU history to throw at least four touchdown passes and rush for 100plus yards in the same game. Prescott is one of only three SEC quarterbacks to achieve the feat since 1996. Johnny Manziel (Texas A&M) did it against SMU in 2012 and Jay Cutler (Vanderbilt) did it versus Kentucky in 2003. Prescott tossed four TDs, rushed for another and tallied 111 yards on 18 carries against UAB in Week 2. His five scores accounted for was a career-high and one shy of the school record.

100 YEARS OF SCOTT FIELD The 2014 season was a special one in Starkville as MSU celebrated the 100-year anniversary of Scott Field. The home of the Bulldogs since 1914, MSU has produced a 243-133-13 (.636) record all-time in Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field. The first game at Scott Field was a 54-0 MSU victory over Marion (Ala.) Military Insitute on Oct. 3, 1914. Flash forward to present day and Scott Field has expanded to a capacity of 61,337, which makes its the largest stadium in the state of Mississippi. A $75 million renovation and expansion was just completed in the north end zone, adding 8,815 of new seats, including premium areas.

HONORING A LEGEND, JACK CRISTIL Jacob Sanford “Jack” Cristil, the beloved former sports broadcaster of six decades of Mississippi State athletics, died Sunday, Sept. 7 at the age of 88 at Sanctuary Hospice House in Tupelo of complications from kidney disease and cancer after an extended illness. Cristil, who served MSU from 1953 to 2011, was known throughout the South as “the Voice of the Bulldogs.” During his legendary career as the voice of the Bulldogs, Cristil called 636 football games since 1953 or roughly 60 percent of every football game played in the history of the institution.

The Bulldogs have worn a special decal on the back of their helmets honoring Cristil this season.

Dak Prescott fired a career-best four touchdowns and 286 yards as Mississippi State pitched its first shutout since 1999 in a 49-0 win over Southern Miss in the season-opener at Davis Wade Stadium. Prescott twice connected with De’Runnya Wilson for scores, including a 25-yard strike on the Bulldogs’ first drive. Prescott also found Fred Ross twice for touchdowns highlighted by a 35-yarder that put MSU up 21-0 with 4:15 left in the first half. The Bulldogs led 28-0 at the half and immediately increased the lead to 35-0 on Wilson’s second TD catch with 10:52 left in the third quarter. Preston Smith, who picked off his first career pass in the first half, then preserved the shutout as the senior blocked a 30-yard field goal attempt late in the third quarter. The block was scooped up by Jay Hughes, who raced 68 yards for a touchdown to put MSU up 42-0.

Ross caught his second TD pass from backup quarterback Damian Williams on the game’s final score. The Bulldogs held USM to 2.2 yards per carry. Kendrick Market and Christian Holmes led MSU in tackles with six apiece. Chris Jones, Nelson Adams and Quadry Antoine each registered a sack. Hughes, playing his first game since the 2013 opener after suffering an injury, also picked off his first career pass in the first half. It was the first meeting between the two in-state teams since 1990. It was also the first Saturday primetime game in SEC Network history.

MSU Stuns No. 8 LSU In SEC Opener, 34-29 Dak Prescott accounted for 373 yards of total offense, rushed for a touchdown and threw for two more to lead MSU to its first win over LSU in Baton Rouge since 1991 by a score of 34-29. The Bulldogs never trailed, jumping out to a 17-3 lead at the half. Prescott got MSU on the board in its first drive on a 9-yard touchdown pass to De’Runnya Wilson. Two possessions later, the Bulldogs went 98 yards, culminating with a Josh Robinson 3-yard TD run. Following a fumble recovery for a TD by LSU’s Danielle Hunter, Prescott quieted the crowd with a spectacular 56-yard TD scamper that put MSU up 24-10 with 12:44 remaining in the third quarter. The Bulldogs extended the lead when Prescott extended a play with his feet and found Jameon Lewis for a 74-yard TD pass down the sideline.

LSU responded with 19 unanswered points in the final 12:34 and the Bulldogs held on for the win when Will Redmond intercepted a Hail Mary pass at the goal line as time expired. Robinson finished with a career-best 197 yards and one touchdown. Benardrick McKinney and Beniquez Brown led MSU with seven tackles apiece.

Dak Prescott threw two touchdown passes, added three Tim Tebow-style TD runs, and No. 12 Mississippi State overwhelmed No. 6 Texas A&M 48-31 in Davis Wade Stadium. For the first time in program history, the Bulldogs defeated back-to-back top-10 ranked teams. A&M’s Kenny Hill was picked off three times

by Richie Brown, who tied the school record for interceptions. Two of the picks led to tochdowns. Prescott’s 2-yard bull rush in the third quarter made it 34-10.

A&M blocked the point after kick and then responded with a touchdown by Speedy Noil to cut the lead to 34-17 with 3:33 left in the third. Just when it looked as if A&M might have some life, Mississippi State unleashed another Dak attack.

Prescott zipped a deep out toward the sideline for Fred Brown, who slipped a tackler and went 51 yards for the score to make it 41-7. Josh Robinson went over 100 yards rushing for the third time this season and scored two first-quarter touchdowns. Will Redmond had a game-high 10 tackles, while Benardrick McKinney had nine tackles and one sack.

Dak Prescott ran for two touchdowns and threw for another to lead No. 3 Mississippi State over No. 2 Auburn 38-23 in arguably the biggest game in Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field history. He completed 18 of 34 passes for 246 yards while running for 121 yards. He also had lots of help. Josh Robinson ran for 97 yards and two touchdowns. De’Runnya Wilson caught four passes for 72 yards, including a 34-yard touchdown catch, and the Bulldogs defense bailed out the offense with red zone stops after turnovers. MSU jumped to a stunning 21-0 lead in the first nine minutes -- helped by two turnovers on Auburn’s first two offensive plays -- but the Tigers pulled within 28-20 in the third quarter. Auburn pulled within 28-20 on a 10-play, 99-yard touchdown drive midway through the third quarter. MSU went ahead 31-20 on a 21-yard field goal with 11:33 remaining. On the ensuing kickoff, Louis fumbled, and the Bulldogs recovered. Two plays later, Robinson ran for a 1-yard touchdown, and the celebration began in Starkville.

Taveze Calhoun was the Bulldogs’ leading tackler with six.

Dak Prescott accounted for three touchdowns, Josh Robinson rushed for two TDs and No. 1 Mississippi State held on to beat Kentucky 45-31 in Commonwealth Stadium. Robinson’s 73-yard touchdown run early in the fourth for a 38-24 lead proved critical when Patrick Towles scored later in the quarter. His 12-yard TD run capped MSU’s 82-yard opening drive and set the stage for him to finish with 198 yards rushing on 23 carries. Prescott chipped in 216 yards passing and 88 yards rushing on 18 carries. But he had to work to complete 18 of 33 passes as Kentucky sacked him three times and intercepted him once. Prescott completed his first five passes for 56 yards to lead Mississippi State into Kentucky territory. But Prescott’s biggest play was recovering his own fumble at the Wildcats 13 after a 3-yard gain, extending the drive and setting up Robinson’s walk-in touchdown on the next play. Mississippi State scored 10 straight points, converting Braylon Heard’s fumble into Evan Sobiesk’s 26-yard field goal and Prescott added a 2-yard TD run. Christian Holmes returned an on-side kick 61 yards for a TD to put the game away in the final three minutes. Beniquez Brown was MSU’s leading tackler with eight tackles, while Kaleb Eulls registered two sacks.

Dak Prescott turned what looked like a broken play into a 69-yard touchdown pass to a wide open Fred Ross with 13:21 to play, and the top-ranked Bulldogs had their go-ahead touchdown in a 17-10 victory over Arkansas. Prescott threw for a career-high 331 yards and a touchdown to help Mississippi State claw out of an early 10-0 hole and win its 11th straight game dating to last season. Josh Robinson — the SEC’s leading rusher coming into the night — ran for just 64 yards, but caught six passes for a career-high 110 yards. Arkansas had two promising drives in the fourth quarter, but neither resulted in points. Will Redmond intercepted a pass in the end zone with 15 seconds left to end the Razorbacks’ final chance. Ross finished with a career-best 107 yards receiving on four catches. Arkansas was averaging 258.9 yards rushing in eight games, but managed just 163.

Arkansas led 10-0 early in the second quarter on Adam McFain’s 36-yard field goal and Collins’ 1-yard touchdown run. The Razorbacks looked little like a team that hadn’t won an SEC game in two years, methodically moving the ball down the field. MSU struggled to get started. The Bulldogs had three turnovers in the first half. The Bulldogs finally broke through with Robinson’s 3-yard touchdown with 7:30 remaining in the second quarter to pull to 10-7. Prescott and Robinson combined for 35 yards rushing on the drive. Matt Wells was MSU’s leading tackler with nine, including one for a loss.

Top-ranked MSU nearly erased a 19-point deficit but its rally fell short in a 2520 loss at No. 3 Alabama in Bryant-Denny Stadium. The setback was the first of the season for the Bulldogs, snapping the second-longest winning streak in school history (12) dating back to Nov. 2013. MSU out-gained the Tide offensively 428 yards to 335, but State’s three interceptions, including two in the end zone, proved to be the difference makers. Dak Prescott finished the game 27-of48 for 290 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions, as well as 82 yards on the ground. De’Runnya Wilson, a nearby Birmingham native, caught a careerhigh eight passes for 81 yards. The Tide jumped out to a 19-0 lead, tackling Josh Robinson in the endzone for a safety and then producing two touchdown drives in the second quarter. Evan Sobiesk connected for two field goals and Prescott engineered a quick 38-yard drive that was capped with a Fred Ross touchdown pass with 14:16 to play in the game. The Tide answered with a back-breaking 15play, 76-yard drive that chewed up 6:07 on the clock. It resulted in a T.J. Yeldon 7-yard touchdown run. The Bulldogs produced a touchdown with 15 seconds left on a 4-yard pass from Prescott to Jameon Lewis, but Alabama recovered the ensuing onside kick to secure its seventh straight win in the series.

@HAILSTATEFB

No. 4 Mississippi State cruised to a 51-0 victory over Vanderbilt at Davis Wade Stadium, jumping out to a 37-0 lead by halftime. It was the Bulldogs’ most lopsided victory over an SEC opponent since 1936. Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes and threw for another as the Bulldogs sent 18 seniors out with just the second 7-0 home record in school history. Prescott threw touchdown passes of 9, 27 and 14 yards and Christian Holmes ripped the ball out of Vanderbilt receiver Latevius Rayford’s hands before returning it 51 yards for a touchdown as the Bulldogs built a 37-0 lead by the break. MSU’s Josh Robinson ran for 63 yards on seven carries — all in the first half. Joe Morrow caught five passes for 79 yards and two touchdowns. Eleven Mississippi State receivers caught at least one pass. Holmes finished with seven tackles, including one tackle for loss on his senior night. Richie Brown collected a team-best 10 tackles as MSU held Vanderbilt to 49 rushing yards, the fewest allowed to an SEC opponent since No. 7 LSU recorded 30 on Sept. 26, 2009.

No. 4 Mississippi State fell to No. 18 Ole Miss by a score of 31-17 on the road at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, dropping the Egg Bowl for only the second time in Dan Mullen’s six years. State’s defense gave up 532 yards to the Rebels, including 327 passing yards, an average of 23.4 yards per completion. Offensively, MSU struggled to get going in the first half and found rhythm too late in the second half, ultimately totaling 445 yards, despite only scoring 17. Despite the loss, MSU did have bright spots on offense as sophomore receivers De’Runnya Wilson recorded a 100-yard receiving game, while Fred Ross came up just short with 98 yards on five receptions. Wilson caught eight passes for 117 yards and a score.

Sophomore tailback Ashton Shumpert had a breakout performance as the running back averaged 6.8 yards per carry as he got the ball often down the stretch, gaining 68 yards on 10 carries. Prescott quietly completed 22-of-37 passes for 282 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed for 48 yards and a score, accounting for 330 total yards in the contest.

to give the Bulldogs a 12-7 lead. That same twosome had combined for a 65-yard scoring pass to give MSU a stunning 13-7 upset at Army during the 1935 season.

Armstrong’s scintillating passes had provided State with the impetus to gain the lead. His aerial strikes set up Pickle’s touchdown run prior to his throw to Walters to gain Mississippi State the lead.

Brumbaugh later found Hefferlie for the game-winning TD pass in the fourth quarter. The Dukes edged State after two Bulldog conversion tries had failed.

The narrow loss to Duquesne was a microcosm of the ‘36 season for State. The Maroons lost three games by a total of 20 points.

State was led by Starkville native Hunter Corhern, a captain of the team and an outstanding guard. MSU was considered to have the finest line in the South during the ‘40 season, a group that boasted three all-Southeastern Conference performers, plus the aforementioned Elrod, a consensus all-America.

When asked to compare all his great teams at Mississippi State, head coach Allyn McKeen said, “Some of the school’s greatest wins came during the 1939 season, but I have to go with the 1940 team as my best.”

UCF would have scoring chances on two consecutive drives in the third and fourth periods but Torres, who came into the game having hit 19-of-21 field goals on the year, would miss from 32 and 37 yards on those drives, negating some offensive momentum that the Knights had built at that point in the contest.

The game’s attendance of 63,816 established a new Liberty Bowl record. The previous record of 61,497 was set in 1991 when the Bulldogs played Air Force.
