By now we all know Mississippi State lost their season opener to South Alabama. It was ugly and painful and embarrassing. After a week of marinating in the worst loss of Dan Mullen’s tenure, MSU fans don’t know what to believe about the 2016 season. I don’t if this team can make a 180 and turn the season around but I do believe they can beat South Carolina in week 2 and dang it that’s a start.
I’ll start with the defense because that’s the easiest fix. If it is possible for 2016 to be a success, this unit will have to carry the load.
