Mississippi State Report Card vs. Arkansas

Grades for the Bulldogs in their 51-50 win vs. the Razorbacks…

Offense: A

I’d say A+, but they did turn the ball over twice. State had 631 total yards. Dak Prescott had his first 500+ yard passing performance with five touchdowns, plus he added two more on the ground.

Brandon Holloway and Ashton Shumpert actually produced a halfway decent running game with 85 combined yards on 17 carries.

It was a really impressive showing from the receiving corps:

  • 10 receivers caught a pass
  • six had at least three catches
  • two had at least 10 catches (Ross, Wilson)
  • two had at least 100 yards (Ross, Holloway)

Defense: C

You give up 50 points and you’d have to assume at best a ‘D’ but I think we knew Arkansas was going to move the ball in this game.
