If you picked up just the box score for Mississippi State in its win over UMass, you might think the Bulldogs are coming along nicely. The team was just two yards shy of the 600-yard mark in total offense and tallied 47 points on the day.
However, if you actually watched Mississippi State in its 47-35 win over UMass this past Saturday, you probably came away with a much different feeling.
For the fourth straight week, the Bulldogs seemed to show up for just half of a football game, with inconsistency on both offense and defense.
