This last week presented many a challenge for running back Kenny McIntosh. The Mississippi State Bulldogs’ run defense kept him to only 3.2 yards per carry, a significant mark lower than his season average of 4.6. But moving the ball wasn’t nearly as difficult as staying warm.
Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville dropped to a chilling 30 degrees fahrenheit last Saturday. Such an environment was quite the scene for McIntosh who is originally from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
When asked what he learned from the cold in Starkville and how he plans on combating similar elements in the future, McIntosh had a simple but effective answer: stand in front of the heater.
