It’s a new week for Mississippi State, and yet, it’s deja vu all over again. It’s yet another week in which I try to determine if one of the players on the team wants to take charge of the running back responsibilities for the Bulldogs.
Mississippi State Bulldogs
This week’s candidate is Malik Dear.
The deficiencies in the running game are well documented. Dan Mullen had stuck primarily with Ashton Shumpert and Brandon Holloway through the first four games of the season. He was doing the same early on in the game, and when the two of them continued to be unproductive, he turned to the freshmen.
