Last Saturday, before going on to defeat Louisiana Tech 45-20 on homecoming at Davis Wade Stadium, Mississippi State was in trouble. Two LA Tech offensive drives had equaled two touchdowns and MSU found itself in a 14-0 hole.
It was far from uncharted territory for Mississippi State. In seven games this season, opponents have put up the first points in four of them. All four of those times, MSU found itself trailing after the first quarter.
Now looking down the barrel of five straight Southeastern Conference games, falling in an early hole is a trend MSU intends to stop and stop now.
