STARKVILLE — The struggling 1-5 BYU football team travels to take on Mississippi State (3-2) Saturday in what appears to be a daunting task. The Bulldogs are heavily favored although the MSU coaching staff believes the Cougars can cause problems.
Mississippi State defensive coordinator Todd Grantham spoke highly of Cougar tight end Matt Bushman, and the problems he can present in an interview published by mississippistate.247sports.com.
"He's a good player. He's got good size and can catch the ball in tight spots," Grantham said. "...The quarterback (Tanner Mangum) has confidence in throwing him the ball because sometimes there are guys on him in tight coverage but he will still throw him the ball and the guy makes plays.
