By ground or by air, Dan Mullen doesn’t care. Mississippi State’s head coach just wants to gain yards.
Monday, at Mullen’s weekly press conference with local media, the Bulldogs’ seventh-year leader discussed his team’s heavy reliance on the passing attack this season.
So far this year, Mississippi State has passed for over 300 yards per game on average, while rushing for just under 145.
By comparison, last season, the Bulldogs featured a more balanced attack when they averaged 280.7 yards per game through the air and 233.1 per contest on the ground.
“We’re going to do what we’re going to do to win,” Mullen said.
