Mississippi State looking to rebound after loss to LSU
Mississippi State looking for a big-time bounce back performance this week on the road against South Carolina, following a complete dismantling by 12th ranked LSU at home.
The Bulldogs losing time of possession by more than 17 minutes while running 26 fewer plays than the Tigers and going just 3-13 on third down conversions.
Explosive plays also sealing MSU’s fate in the 41-14 week three loss, giving first-year Head Coach Zach Arnett plenty to think about when it comes to the basics of winning and losing a football game. “Simply put, if we can get our opponent off the field quicker and get the ball back to our offense, that gives them more drives and more opportunities for plays, and then if we can convert third downs and keep drives going, that leads to more plays. The more plays you get, the more explosive plays you’re going to get. Like just on the flip side, you create more three-and-outs, you limit your opponent’s plays. I guarantee it leads to less explosive plays.”
The Bulldogs and Gamecocks kick things off from Columbia at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
