Repairing Mississippi State's Running Game for 2016

Mississippi State typically runs the ball pretty well. That didn't happen in 2015. What can Dan Mullen do to fix that in 2016?

Our running game and running back stable is a mess. And that’s likely an understatement. Fixing the running game during the season, for whatever reason, simply wasn’t possible for Dan Mullen and the offense in 2015. There were many different speculations over the cause for the lack of rushing yards for an offense that is traditionally known to run the ball well. Some blame the offensive line, some blame the running backs themselves. Still other attribute the inability to run the ball to the capabilities of the receivers and the dominant passing game with Dak as a possible reason.
