Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen held his weekly press conference Monday to discuss the Bulldogs’ season opening loss to South Alabama and preview the SEC opener against South Carolina.
Opening Statement
“Obviously [we have] a big game this week. When you kick off conference play, it’s critical for us to always get that front foot conference game. A lot of the time it will kind of dictate how the rest of the conference season goes — not always, but a lot. It’s a big game for us, obviously playing a team with a new coaching staff, they have the big advantage of actually opening on a Thursday night, which I know is a huge advantage for a lot of teams.
