All week we’ll be examining how each team in the SEC performed on national signing day. Up next: Mississippi State.
Biggest need heading into signing day: There’s no sugar-coating it: Mississippi State’s offensive line was terrible last season. Their linemen couldn’t generate any semblance of a running game and they let Dak Prescott get sacked more than any quarterback in the conference. It’s really a wonder the Bulldogs won nine games. But that kind of success isn’t going to happen again next season without serious improvement in the trenches, especially considering the fact that there will be a new starter at quarterback.
