Mississippi State’s Mullen preaches mental toughness in Boston Marathon preparation

Saturday morning, before most of Starkville had woken up, Dan Mullen had the day’s schedule churning through his head: load up at the Seal Complex, drive over to Davis Wade Stadium for the second of his team’s three spring scrimmages (where he hopes to find a replacement for Dak Prescott, break in an entirely new defensive staff and try to put together a team capable of competing in the brutal SEC West), drive back to Seal, meet with his staff, break down the film and get ready for more practice on the final week of spring. Then, if he’s lucky, he’ll be home before his kids are asleep, with enough time to watch Disney Channel or play in the yard.
