Mississippi State’s Running Game is Historically Bad

Every week in the 2015 season we’ve discussed the running game. Over and over. Who’s the problem, why can’t the Bulldogs get things going? Shumpert, Holloway, etc. Dak’s not running, the O-line isn’t blocking…..there have been a dozen reasons why, but the bottom line is that Mississippi State is not running the football effectively. Dan Mullen came to State in 2009 and produced the 9th best rushing attack in the nation, and in 2010 it was ranked 16th – but so far in 2015 the rushing offense is 91st.

In terms of total rushing offense, things aren’t worse than they’ve ever been or anything like that.
