This is the best team Vic Schaefer has had at Mississippi State, and sitting at 15-0 after blowing out 11-3 LSU to start SEC play, this might also be the best coaching job of his five years in Starkville. His Bulldogs are No. 5 in the country, and that ranking may very well get even better when the new polls come out this week.
What’s impressive about the job he’s done to this point – beyond the tough non-conference slate, the big numbers and, you know, the undefeated record – is that he’s done so with virtually the same roster he had last year.
