Every week there will be one player or coach who will be considered the x-factor. The x-factor is player/coach who will really need to perform well that week, in order for the Dawgs to come away with a win. Essentially the x-factor is the make-or-break position on the field for that week.
The Bulldogs (3-2, 1-2) are coming off a disappointing loss to Texas A&M. Now Mississippi State returns home to face the Troy Trojans (1-3). Let’s just face it. The Trojans do not pose much of a threat to the Dawgs. Troy is 0-3 against FBS opponents.
