Wednesday Headlines: Mississippi State QB Mystery

Related Topics: Mike Wright, Mike Leach

Happy Wednesday, BBN!

In Zac Arnett’s inaugural year at Mississippi State, the offensive firepower previously displayed under Mike Leach has dwindled. The Bulldogs, once the SEC’s passing leaders, now face injuries and transition from Leach’s Air Raid to Kevin Barbay’s pro-style setup.

Quarterback Will Rogers, who once averaged 305 passing yards per game, only hit the 200-yard mark twice this season before a shoulder injury sidelined him. Mike Wright, a versatile QB from Vanderbilt, stepped in and, in two games, recorded 24-of-44 passes with 246 yards.

Fans in Starkville are buzzing about another potential star quarterback, Chris Parson.
