Every loss stings, but some sting a little bit more than others. Mississippi State's 31–28 loss to Arkansas was a particularly tough pill to swallow after Bulldogs went 0-for-3 on field goal attempts—one of which was from 23 yards out.

Leach put out a call to Mississippi State students after the game to come forward to participate in kicking tryouts, looking for a spark for his special teams for the final three games of the season.
