Yes, Mississippi State did hang on to beat UMass in a non-conference game that turned out more troublesome than expected.
No, Bulldogs coach Dan Mullen wasn’t satisfied.
“(We had) a lot of penalties, a lot of silly mistakes, a lot of errors we got to get coached up and get fixed,” Mullen said.
Mississippi State committed nine penalties for 90 yards, lost a fumble and had several other miscues in a game where the Bulldogs trailed at halftime.
Once Mississippi State’s offense got going, though, it managed to score 28 third-quarter points in a 47-35 victory this past Saturday.
