In 2014, the Mississippi State Bulldogs won 10 games for the first time since 1999. This season will mark Dan Mullen's seventh in Starkville and with the exception of a 5-7 first year, Mullen has not had a losing season with the Bulldogs. Last year also marked the fifth straight wining campaign for the program. Fans in Starkville haven’t seen a streak like that since Allyn McKeen lead his Maroons to eight straight winning seasons from 1939-47 (Mississippi State did not field a team in 1943).
Dak Prescott returns for his senior year and to hopefully lead his team to an SEC West championship, something the Bulldogs haven’t accomplished since 1998.
