Mississippi State has a running problem. No one is denying this. Ashton Shumpert was given the starting job to replace Josh Robinson, and thus far it isn’t working.
There are a lot of reasons the running game of Mississippi State isn’t working. The offensive line is doing an adequate job of run blocking, and Ashton Shumpert is not attacking the line of scrimmage the way he needs to.
It is time to make a change at the running back position. Whether or not Dan Mullen agrees remains to be seen, but the Bulldogs can’t continue to be as unproductive as they currently are.
