DAN MULLEN
HEAD COACH SIXTH SEASON
N
ow entering his sixth season, Dan Mullen has spearheaded Mississippi State to unprecedented sustained success and reenergized the Bulldog fan base in the process. The MSU faithful have gone on to watch the head coach lead the Maroon and White to fourstraight bowl games for the first time in the 114-year history of the program. Just five years into his tenure, Mullen (36-28, .563) owns the highest winning percentage as a coach at State since the late Darrell Royal in 1954-55 (.600), and he is already fourth in school history for wins by a MSU head coach (36). Mullen stands just one victory away from entering the top four.

| COACHING STAFF | HEAD COACH DAN MULLEN
Mullen became the MSU all-time leader in bowl game victories with three when the Bulldogs trounced Rice 44-7 in the 2013 AutoZone Liberty Bowl. On top of that, Mullen has dominated the Egg Bowl rivalry (4-1), owning the second-highest winning percentage (.800) against Ole Miss. Mullen (63 games) was the quickest Bulldog coach to 35 career wins since Allyn McKeen in 1942. He ranks third all-time in MSU winning percentage among coaches who have coached more than four seasons. From the moment of his introduction on Dec. 10, 2008, as the 32nd head coach in school history, supporters have turned out in record numbers and capacity crowds to support the Bulldogs. Mississippi State fans have sold out a school-record 30 consecutive home games at Davis Wade Stadium entering the 2014 season. Each of the last four years has seen the school’s attendance record broken, including the 389,868 who packed into the stadium during the 2013 season. In fact, 19 of the school’s top 20 crowds have occurred in the last five seasons, with all seven crowds in 2013 ranking in the top 25 all-time. Mullen was widely regarded as one of the top young minds in college football when he arrived at Mississippi State, and he brought not only an impressive offensive resume and a list of NFL-developed quarterbacks, but also an energy and passion for the college game. Under Mullen’s guidance, the 2013 MSU offense went down as one of the most prolific in school history. The Bulldogs shattered school records for total yards (5,647), yards per game (434.4), passing yards (3,178), first downs (305), completions (253), passing yards per game (244.5) and completion percentage (59.0). Mullen also helped develop Dak Prescott into one of the top signal callers in school history as the sophomore shattered the school record for rushing yards by a quarterback (829) and registered the third-highest total offense mark in school history (2,769). As a team, MSU showed constant improvement and went on an inspiring threegame winning streak to close the 2013 season despite a rash of injuries. After a hard-fought game against No. 1 Alabama on Nov. 16, the Bulldogs bounced back a week later with their first victory ever at Arkansas. Then on a cold Thanksgiving night, Mullen continued his dominance of the Egg Bowl rivalry as MSU, on a gutsy final drive engineered by an injured Prescott, claimed its fourth Egg Bowl win in five seasons with a 17-10 overtime triumph.

The Bulldogs closed the year racking up a bowl school-record 533 yards to defeat Rice 44-7 in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tenn. The 37-point margin of victory was the largest of the 2013 college bowl season as MSU finished the year with a 7-6 record. Following the season, offensive guard Gabe Jackson became the 13th NFL Draft selection under Mullen at MSU when Jackson was taken in the third round by the Oakland Raiders. Jackson was a first-team All-American as a senior. In addition, linebacker Deontae Skinner, safety Nickoe Whitley and running back LaDarius Perkins signed NFL free agent contracts. Mullen ignited the Bulldogs to a ninewin season in just his second year, 2010, and then another successful season in 2011. With Mullen’s masterful offensive mind, the Maroon and White broke the school records for six different offensive categories in 2012, including passing touchdowns in a season (28) and scoring (383). In 2010, State won six games in a row in the middle of the season and finished among the top 10 in school history in the following categories - passing yardage, completion percentage, passing touchdowns, rushing attempts, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, total plays, total offensive yards, per-game offense and first downs. The defense also amassed the 10th-highest sack total in school annals. The 2010 Bulldogs closed out the season with nine victories including posting the largest margin of victory in a bowl game in school history. The resounding 52-14 Gator Bowl win against Michigan capped a truly remarkable year. With the nation’s toughest schedule in 2009, State’s rushing attack, led by first-team All-Southeastern Conference selection and current NFL running back Anthony Dixon, finished ninth nationally with a 227.6 rushing yard average per game. State averaged 371.9 yards of total offense per game, the ninth-highest total in school history and the most since 2000 at the time. Mullen’s first season concluded with a rousing 41-27 victory over MSU’s in-state rival, which brought the Golden Egg back to Starkville. He became the only the third Mississippi State coach to win his Egg Bowl debut since 1939, joining Allyn McKeen and Jackie Sherrill. The Bulldogs posted a 5-7 overall record in 2009, including three road victories. During the previous four seasons as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the University of Florida, Mullen molded a Heisman Trophy, Davey O’Brien and Max-

well Award-winning quarterback, along with a Rimington Trophy finalist and a Biletnikoff Award semifinalist. In 2008 alone, Mullen’s offensive attack ranked third nationally in scoring – averaging better than 45 points per game as the Gators scored at least 30 points in 12-of-13 games. The 587 points scored eclipsed the previous Florida mark, set in 1996. Florida rushed for a school-record 41 touchdowns that season and UF’s 80 rushing touchdowns over the two seasons ranked second nationally Overall, Florida’s rushing yardage of 2,987 ranked ninth nationally in 2008 and was the third-highest total in school history. Seven offensive players were recognized as All-SEC selections following the season in which Mullen helped UF claim its second SEC Championship and a chance to play for its second national championship in three seasons. The Gator offense ranked first in the SEC in scoring offense and total offense for a second-straight season in 2008, averaging 45.2 points and 442.4 yards per game. Under Mullen’s tutelage in 2007, UF averaged 42.5 points and 457.2 yards. In 2007, Mullen directed the Gator offense to the third-highest point total ever by a UF unit and the top single-season marks for rushing touchdowns and third-down conversion percentage. Florida’s offense scored 75 touchdowns, second most in the SEC. Mullen orchestrated a UF attack that was the only one in the nation to have rushed for a touchdown and passed for a touchdown in every game during the season. He also helped UF score on 83-of-152 drives in 2007 for a league-best 54.6 percent, marking the best number since the stat was tracked by the SEC in 2000. Florida additionally averaged 7.0 yards per play that year, the fourth-best total in the nation. Lastly, the Gators averaged 5.3 yards per rush, the second-best number in school history. In 2007, Mullen helped coach sophomore quarterback Tim Tebow into a Heisman Trophy, Maxwell and Davey O’Brien award winner, 78th Sullivan Award winner and Associated Press First-Team All-American among other honors. He also tutored six offensive players to the All-SEC team: Tebow, NFL Pro Bowler Percy Harvin, Cornelius Ingram, Brandon James, Jim Tartt and Drew Miller. Mullen played an integral role in Florida’s 2006 national championship, overseeing an offense that averaged 29.7 points and 396.1 yards per game. In the BCS National Championship Game, he engineered an attack that produced 41 points against a top-ranked Ohio State squad that was limiting opponents to less than 11 points per game on the year. Under Mullen’s tutelage, quarterback Chris Leak opened the contest by going 9-for-9 for 99 yards and a touchdown en route to earning Offensive MVP honors. The 2006 Gator offense posted 76 plays of 20 yards or more, 19 of which went for touchdowns. Florida passed for 29 touchdowns in 2006, while Leak ranked among the national leaders with 23 scoring tosses. Tebow matched UF’s then single-season record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback with eight scores, and his 5.3 yards per carry average placed second nationally among signal callers. Six different players averaged at least 5.0 yards per carry.

GRADUATION SUCCESS Head coach Dan Mullen joins football graduates from the 2014 spring semester. Under Mullen, MSU has improved its NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) every year, including a program-best 974 released in May. In 2005, Chad Jackson played his way to Biletnikoff Award semifinalist status after matching the UF single-season record with 88 receptions, a figure that led the SEC and finished sixth nationally. Center Mike Degory was also named a finalist for the Rimington Trophy, given annually to the nation’s top center, during that campaign. Both earned first-team All-SEC honors under Mullen’s tutelage. Mullen went to Florida from Utah with head coach Urban Meyer, with whom he had spent 10 seasons. While the quarterbacks coach at Utah, Mullen developed current NFL standout Alex Smith – the first overall selection in the 2005 NFL Draft – from a pocket passer into an efficient executor of the spread, making him one of the most versatile threats in college football. Smith took over the starting job three games into Mullen’s tenure, passing for 2,247 yards and running for 452 to finish second in the Mountain West in total offense in 2003. The 2004 campaign saw Smith earn National Player of the Year honors from The Sporting News and Sports Illustrated, while also becoming Utah’s first-ever Heisman Trophy finalist. Smith also garnered final consideration for the Davey O’Brien and Walter Camp National Player of the Year Awards. Smith passed for 2,952 yards and 32 touchdowns and ran for 631 yards and 10 scores on the year, ranking second in the nation with a 176.5 efficiency rating and leading the Utes to a perfect 12-0 season and a Fiesta Bowl championship. As a team, Utah finished the 2004 season third in the nation in scoring offense (45.3) and total offense (499.8). Prior to his stint at Utah, Mullen served as quarterbacks’ coach at Bowling Green for two seasons, putting up 6,627 yards of total offense and scoring 81 touchdowns during that span. In 2002, quarterback Josh Harris threw for 2,425 yards, ran for 737 yards and completed the campaign as the nation’s third-leading scorer. Mullen spent the two years before his Bowling Green stint as a graduate assistant at Notre Dame, and before that assisted with Syracuse’s 1998 BIG EAST championship and Orange Bowl run.

Off the field, Mullen’s players are constant achievers in the classroom and the community donating countless hours to the Starkville area and state of Mississippi. Eighteen Bulldogs were named to the SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll in 2013. During Mullen’s entire five-year tenure at MSU, 90 players have earned the distinction of SEC Academic Honor Roll recipient. The 42-year-old has helped the program improve its NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) every year in his tenure, including most recently the SEC’s fourth-best football APR with a score of 974. MSU is the only SEC football program to improve its NCAA APR score every year since the formula’s inception. A two-year starter at tight end for Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pa., Mullen earned first-team All-Centennial Conference honors as a senior. He is married to the former Megan West, and the couple has two children, one son (Canon) and one daughter (Breelyn). The Mullen’s created the Mullen Family 36 Foundation, raising more than $250,000 for charity in the last two years. The foundation has impacted the lives of 36 different children’s charities throughout the state of Mississippi.

Defensive Coordinator/ Linebackers @CoachCollins Coined the “Minister of Mayhem,” Geoff Collins comes into his second season as the MSU full-time defensive coordinator preaching defensive mayhem to his troops. Collins came to Mississippi State in 2011 as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach after putting together a remarkable resume during stints at Florida International and UCF. In Collins’ first season as full-time defensive coordinator, MSU boasted one of the Southeastern Conference’s top units. The 2013 Bulldogs ranked in the SEC’s top five statistically in total defense (fourth - 349.3 ypg), rushing defense (fourth - 144.2 ypg), third down defense (fourth - 35.0 percent), pass defense (fifth - 205.2) and interceptions (fifth - 14). Collins’ crew got stronger as the season went on. MSU held its final three opponents to an average of 11.3 points per game, including two contests that featured overtime stands. The Bulldogs earned their first victory ever at Arkansas, forcing two fumbles and collecting seven tackles for losses. Less than a week later, the Egg Bowl trophy remained in Starkville as the MSU defense held Ole Miss to 10 points, highlighted by one of the most memorable plays in school history. All-SEC safety Nickoe Whitley stripped quarterback Bo Wallace to prevent a game-tying score in overtime and preserve the Bulldogs’ fourth Egg Bowl victory in five seasons. MSU then shut down one of the nation’s most prolific offenses in a 44-7 win over Rice in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. The Owls entered the contest with a rushing offense ranked in the top 10 nationally. Rice gained only 61 yards rushing -- 179 below its season average -- on 32 carries against MSU. In three seasons, Collins has sent two Bulldogs from his linebacker position to the NFL. Cameron Lawrence signed as a free agent with the Dallas Cowboys in 2013. Whitley (Cleveland) and linebacker Deontae Skinner (New England) agreed to free agent contracts following the 2014 NFL Draft. After being given the opportunity to call plays during the 2013 Gator Bowl, the Collins-led defense had one of its best defensive performances of the year. A three-interception day with two tackles for loss, four pass breakups and two quarterback hurries gave fans a small taste of what to expect in year one with Collins getting the full-time gig. In 2012, Collins led two linebackers to place in the top seven in the SEC in total tackles: All-SEC selection Lawrence (120) and freshman All-American Benardrick McKinney (102). Lawrence became the first Bulldog with 100-plus tackles in back-toback seasons since 1994-95, while McKinney tied for second in the country in total tackles by a freshman and seventh overall in the SEC. With State not having had two players in the top 10 in the SEC in tackles since 1997, Collins has accomplished the feat in two of his first three seasons in Starkville. Collins immediately raised the bar at linebacker for the MSU squad in 2011, coaching Lawrence to 123 total tackles, ranking top five in the SEC. In addition, former walk-on Brandon Wilson reached 94 tackles under Collins’ tutelage. In his last year before joining the Bulldogs, Collins’ FIU defensive unit led the Sun Belt in total defense, scoring defense, pass efficiency defense and turnover margin; all a remarkable accomplishment for a group that finished 119th nationally in total defense and 111th in scoring defense in 2009. The Panthers’ sack totals nearly doubled, and the pass defense improved from 108th nationally to 32nd in 2010. For his efforts, Collins was a finalist for the Broyles Award - given annually to the nation’s top assistant coach. Collins made the move to FIU after a pair of seasons as the linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator at UCF. In his first season in Orlando, Collins helped UCF’s defense rank second in Conference USA in total and scoring defense. Before joining the Knights’ staff, Collins spent a year as the director of player personnel at Alabama.

In 2002, Collins became the defensive coordinator/defensive backs coach at his alma mater, Western Carolina, and inherited one of the worst defensive units statistically in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision. In 2003, under Collins’ direction, the Catamount defense emerged as one of the best in the nation. In 2005, the Western Carolina defense was ranked No. 1 nationally in pass defense along with being ranked 18th nationally in total defense. Collins’ unit also finished ranked first in the Southern Conference in total defense and pass defense along with several other defensive categories. Prior to returning to Western Carolina, Collins spent three years with current UCF head coach George O’Leary at Georgia Tech. Collins began his career on the Flats as the defensive graduate assistant working with the linebackers in 1999 and with the defensive backs in 2000. Before his days at Georgia Tech, Collins spent two years as the defensive coordinator and linebackers and secondary coach at Albright College in Reading, Pa. In 1997, the NCAA Division III program boasted the leading defense in its conference and ranked in the top 10 nationally in all defensive categories. In 1996, Collins served as an assistant coach at Fordham, working with the outside linebackers while also serving as the junior varsity defensive coordinator. He also spent one season (1995) as an assistant coach at Franklin (N.C.) High School while student teaching in the Macon County Public Schools. During his playing days at Western Carolina, Collins tallied 194 tackles as an outside linebacker and defensive back from 1989-92. He was the team’s fifth-leading tackler as a junior with 68, while registering 6.0 tackles for loss. As a senior, he helped Western to a 7-4 record, logging 62 total takedowns and 5.0 tackles for loss. He began his coaching career as a student assistant on the Western Carolina staff in 1993. A native of Conyers, Ga., who attended Rockdale County High School, Collins earned a bachelor’s degree from Western Carolina in sport management and exercise science in 1994. He then completed the education curriculum in 1995. He did postgraduate work in psychology at Fordham University and Georgia Tech.

BILLY GONZALES
Co-Offensive Coordinator/ Passing Game/Wide Receivers Second season at MSU @CoachBillyG Coach Dan Mullen was faced with filling a spot on his coaching staff with the loss of wide receivers coach Tim Brewster following the 2012 season. After a brief search, he found his perfect fit in friend and former coaching cohort Billy Gonzales. Gonzales was promoted to MSU co-offensive coordinator and passing game coordinator in February 2014. He will also maintain his wide receiver coaching duties during the 2014 season. Having coached eight combined seasons at Bowling Green, Utah and Florida with Mullen, Gonzales arrived in Starkville with 20 years of college coaching experience and an offensive mindset nearly identical to his boss. Gonzales’ resume gleams greatness as he’s coached in three BCS National Championship games with Florida and LSU during a six-year span. Gonzales made an immediate impact in his first season with the Bulldogs as junior wideout Jameon Lewis developed into one of the Southeastern Conference’s elite receivers. Lewis ranked sixth in the SEC in receiving yards per game (71.0). He capped the year with an MSU single-game school-record 220 receiving yards in an AutoZone Liberty Bowl victory over Rice. Gonzales was instrumental to a 2013 MSU offense that shattered single-season school records for total yards (5,647), yards per game (434.4), passing yards (3,178), first downs (305), completions (253), passing yards per game (244.5) and completion percentage (59.0). Gonzales arrived in Starkville following a one-year stint as co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach at Illinois. Prior to coaching the Fighting Illini, Gonzales served as the passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach at LSU. During his time in Baton Rouge, Gonzales helped the Tigers to the 2012 BCS National Championship game and the 2011 SEC Championship. His development of Odell Beckham Jr. and Reuben Randle were apparent during the Tigers’ season, as he led them to Freshman All-SEC and first-team All-SEC accolades respectively. Both went on the NFL. Prior to his stint at LSU, Gonzales coached beside Mullen under Urban Meyer at Florida. During his time as wide receivers coach, the Gators’ high-octane offense translated to two BCS national championships in 2006 and 2008. At Florida, Gonzales saw seven players drafted under his command, with his crown jewel being a first-round selection of Percy Harvin in 2009. In addition, Gonzales produced seven All-SEC wide receivers in his five seasons. During his two seasons at Utah as wide receivers coach and co-special teams coordinator, Gonzales saw the Utes to a 22-2 record and two bowl wins, including a 35-7 thrashing of Pittsburgh in the 2005 Fiesta Bowl. The Utes’ offense averaged 499.8 yards and 45.3 points per game, each ranking third in the country in their respective categories. Under Gonzales’ watch, three Utah receivers were first-team All-Mountain West: tight end Ben Moa (2003), wide receiver Paris Warren (2003) and wide receiver Steve Savoy (2004). As a special teams guru, Gonzales led Utah to 28.2 yards per kickoff return in 2003, which was good enough for the nation’s lead. Utah was also third in the country in net punting yard (40.8) and fifth in kickoff returns during the 2004 season (26.2) Gonzales spent the 2001 and 2002 seasons at Bowling Green, serving as wide receivers coach and co-recruiting coordinator. The Falcons were 17-6 in his two years at the school and in 2002, Bowling Green was third in the country in scoring averaging 48 points per game. The Falcon offense also averaged 448.9 yards per game during the 2002 season, ranking ninth in the country. Under Gonzales’ direction, wide receiver Robert Redd was an All-MAC selection during the coaches’ two years at the school and became the school’s all-time leader in receptions.

As wide receivers coach, Gonzales tutored Eugen Baker to a ThirdTeam All-American selection as he became the school’s all-time leading receiver. Prior to a full-time coaching job with the Golden Flashes, Gonzales spent two years as a graduate assistant at the school from 1995-96. He earned his master’s degree from Kent State in sports administration. Gonzales broke into the coaching profession in 1994 at MacMurray (Ill.) as wide receivers coach. A four-year letter winner at Colorado State including two years as starting wide receiver, Gonzales helped the Rams to a 9-4 record during the 1990 season and a win over Oregon in the Freedom Bowl. Gonzales and his wife, Julie, have two children, Cole and Caylynn.

JOHN HEVESY
Co-Offensive Coordinator/ Running Game/Offensive Line Sixth season at MSU @CoachHevesy No one can argue with the results put up by John Hevesy’s group during his first five years as the Bulldogs’ run game coordinator and offensive line coach. In 2014, Hevesy will take over co-offensive coordinator duties in addition to overseeing the running game and offensive line. The 2013 campaign was a record one for the MSU offense, breaking single-season school records for total yards (5,647), yards per game (434.4) and first downs (305). Under Hevesy’s tutelage, senior guard Gabe Jackson became a first-team All-American and a first-team All-Southeastern Conference recipient. He then was selected in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders. Jackson promises to have a lengthy, successful NFL career. In 2009, the line paved the way as the offense led the SEC and finished ninth nationally in rushing, averaging better than 225 yards per game. One year later, State rushed for 214.8 yards per game and increased total offense numbers. The Bulldogs have eclipsed the 200-yard rushing mark in half of Hevesy’s 64 games coached in Starkville. Senior center Dillon Day comes into 2014 as a preseason candidate for the Rimington Trophy, given annually to the nation’s best center. It is his third-consecutive season on the watch list, after being developed into a freshman All-American at the position under the direction of Hevesy in 2011. In his first two seasons, Hevesy tutored left tackle Derek Sherrod, an All-American selection and a first round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. Sherrod is now in his third NFL season with the Green Bay Packers. Hevesy has worked with head coach Dan Mullen for over a decade and came to Mississippi State after four years as a member of the University of Florida coaching staff, where he spent time working with both the tight ends and the offensive line. Hevesy has coached in four BCS bowls, including Florida’s 2006 and 2008 BCS title game victories. Hevesy assisted with a Florida offensive line which allowed only 16.0 sacks in 14 games and paved the way for a rushing attack that averaged more than 231 yards per game. In 2007, he tutored future NFL tight end Cornelius Ingram. Ingram’s seven touchdowns receiving matched Andre Caldwell’s team-leading total and Ingram’s 14.9 years per reception were the most of any Gator who had double-digit catches. That season, the Gator offensive line surrendered just 13.0 sacks in 13 games, tying for the second-lowest total in the SEC and fifth nationally. Despite entering the 2006 season with one player having started a game at his opening-day position, the UF offensive line allowed only 23 sacks on the year, and yielded one-or-less sacks seven times during the campaign. Hevesy showed a penchant for molding individual talents on the interior of the Gators’ line. Starting centers Mike Degory and Steve Rissler earned first-team All-SEC honors as seniors, and Drew Miller earned honorable mention All-SEC. As the offensive line coach at Utah in 2004, Hevesy directed the front line for one of the most prolific offenses in the country, as the Utes ranked third nationally in scoring, total offense and passing efficiency. Behind the blocking of Hevesy’s group, Utah scored on 62-of-67 trips to the red zone en route to an undefeated season and a victory in a BCS bowl game. Prior to his arrival in Salt Lake City, Hevesy coached the tackles and tight ends at Bowling Green from 2001-02. In his first year on campus, the line allowed 50 percent fewer sacks than the year before, while the 2002 unit blocked for skill players that amassed more than 5,000 yards of total offense. During a three-year stint at Brown from 1998-2000, Hevesy coached an offensive line that blocked for 13 school records and saw three of its members earn multiple All-Ivy selections.

TONY HUGHES
Assistant Head Coach/ Safeties/Recruiting Coordinator Sixth season at MSU
@CoachTonyHughes A Mississippi native with a wealth of experience coaching in his home state, Tony Hughes coaches safeties in the defensive backfield and also coordinates the Bulldogs’ recruiting efforts. In the spring of 2013, Hughes was named assistant head coach for the maroon and white. Hughes has developed MSU’s safeties corps into one of the Southeastern Conference’s hardest-hitting units. In 2013, Nickoe Whitley earned second-team All-SEC honors and concluded his career third in MSU career interceptions with 15. Whitley was credited with one of the most memorable plays in school history, forcing a fumble of Ole Miss’ Bo Wallace in overtime to seal another Egg Bowl victory for the Bulldogs. Whitley, despite suffering a torn ACL during the play, signed an NFL free agent contract with the Cleveland Browns in the spring of 2014. In 2010, Hughes tutored Whitley to freshman All-SEC honors. In 2011, Hughes developed Charles Mitchell into one of the top safeties in the SEC with Mitchell getting drafted in the sixth round by the Atlanta Falcons in April 2012. Hughes came to Mississippi State after spending one season at Southern Miss where he coached the secondary. Prior to that stop, Hughes coached for three seasons at Ole Miss. Named one of the top-25 college football recruiters in the nation by Rivals.com in the spring of 2006, Hughes’ first two years were spent tutoring the defensive backs with his final season in Oxford spent working with the tight ends. Prior to a two-season tenure at Louisiana Tech, Hughes had spent the previous 10 years on the coaching staff at Hinds Community College in Raymond, Miss., where he served as the defensive coordinator for one year and the secondary coach during his first nine seasons. At Hinds, Hughes coached eight players who later went on to the NFL, including former Mississippi State standout Fred Smoot. Before working at Hinds, Hughes’ first college stop as a full-time collegiate coach was a two-year stay at West Alabama, where he was the secondary coach in 1992 and 1993. Hughes coached for seven years in the Mississippi high school ranks, serving as the offensive coordinator and running backs coach at Hattiesburg High School from 1988-1991. Hughes also spent two seasons as the defensive secondary coach and boys track coach at South Natchez High School in 1986 and 1987. His first high school coaching job came at Philadelphia High School in 1985. After serving in the United States Marine Corps from 1981 to 1984 and receiving an honorable discharge, he began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Southern Miss in 1984, working with the defensive backs. Hughes, who played football and ran track at Forest High School (1974-76) and played defensive back at St. Paul’s College (1976-77), was a defensive back for Southern Miss in 1977 and 1978. He earned his bachelor of arts’ degree in sociology from there in 1980. He is an active member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, serving as a member of the Mississippi FCA State Board of Directors in 1999, president of the Mississippi FCA Coaches Council in 1998 and vice-president of the Mississippi FCA Coaches Council in 1997.

Quarterbacks
First season at MSU @BDJohnson3
Brian Johnson, the winningest quarterback in Utah history and former offensive coordinator for the Utes, begins his first season as quarterbacks coach at Mississippi State. Johnson, 27, reunites with his former coach Dan Mullen in Starkville. Johnson, then a high school quarterback in Texas, first met Mullen at age 16 during a recruiting visit to Utah. He officially joined the MSU staff in February 2014 and worked exclusively with the Bulldog quarterbacks in spring practice. Johnson spent the past four seasons as an assistant coach at Utah, including one season as the offensive coordinator and one season as the co-offensive coordinator. He coached quarterbacks since joining the staff in 2010. A rising star in the coaching profession, Johnson became the youngest NCAA FBS offensive coordinator in the nation at age 24 on Feb. 2, 2011. His fast ascension in coaching has been nothing new for the Baytown, Texas, product. Mullen, then the quarterbacks coach at Utah, signed Johnson to a National Letter of Intent at just 16 years old in 2004. Johnson went on to play in 10 games as a true freshman backup to Heisman Trophy finalist Alex Smith during Utah’s 12-0 Fiesta Bowl season. The next spring, he became Utah’s starting quarterback at age 17. In January 2010, a year after breaking the school record for wins by a starting quarterback (26), Johnson accepted a position as Utah’s quarterbacks coach. Two years in that role was enough time to convince head coach Kyle Whittingham to appoint Johnson as the new offensive coordinator. In 2013, Johnson had the opportunity to work alongside former three-time Pac-10 Conference Coach of the Year Dennis Erickson as co-offensive coordinator. Each of Johnson’s first three seasons was defined by injuries at the quarterback position. Starter Jordan Wynn was injured for part or most of every season and Johnson inserted three different replacements from 2010-12. In both 2010 and 2011, Utah recovered to earn a bowl bid (Las Vegas Bowl and Sun Bowl). With an eye to the future, Johnson anointed true freshman Travis Wilson the starting quarterback for the final seven games of the 2012 season. He also turned to the run game, implementing a game plan that allowed senior John White to net 1,041 yards and become the first Ute ever to produce back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. Utah led the Pac-12 in time of possession, holding the ball an average of 32:07 a game. As a player, Johnson was a three-year starter and a two-time bowl most valuable player. He set the school mark for victories by a starting quarterback, finishing his career with a 26-7 record. A finalist for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm and the Manning awards as a senior in 2008, Johnson captained Utah to the best record in school history (13-0) and a Sugar Bowl victory over Alabama. The Sugar Bowl MVP tossed for 336 yards and three touchdowns in leading the Utes to a dominant 31-17 win over the fourth-ranked Tide. For his career, Johnson threw for 7,853 yards and 57 touchdowns as well as running for 848 yards and 12 scores. He gained even more acclaim when EA Sports put him on the cover of its 2010 NCAA Football video game. Johnson and his wife, Ashley, are the proud parents of a baby girl, Rossi, born in June 2014.

GREG KNOX
Defensive Backs/Special Teams Coordinator Sixth season at MSU
@CoachKnox_MSU
With a hotbed of talent to coach at running back, Greg Knox has molded raw backs into All-Southeastern Conference talent and pros, coaching three starting running backs to the NFL. Knox adds a new title to his SEC resume in the spring of 2014 as special teams coordinator. Knox enters his sixth season on coach Dan Mullen’s staff after a record-breaking offensive year in 2013. The Bulldogs broke school records in total yards (5,647), yards per game (434.4) and first downs (305). Senior running back LaDarius Perkins capped his career as the fifth-leading rusher in school history with 2,554 career yards. Perkins then signed a free agent NFL contract in the spring of 2014 with the Green Bay Packers. With Knox’s help in 2012, Perkins finished the regular season fourth in the SEC in rushing and second in the league in all-purpose yards. Through the first half of the 2012 campaign, Perkins was one of only two players nationally with a rushing touchdown through his first seven games. Knox also mentored Anthony Dixon, the current Buffalo Bill, during his senior season. Dixon rushed for a school-record 1,391 yards and found the end zone 12 times. But it wasn’t only the All-SEC tailback who thrived under Knox’s guidance, as the running backs combined for more than 2,000 yards as the Bulldogs led the conference in rushing yards. Knox’s second season may have been an even greater coaching feat. Without a proven commodity like Dixon, the Bulldog offense used several different backs to accomplish nearly the same thing. Newcomer Vick Ballard burst onto the scene and broke the 58-year-old school record for rushing touchdowns in a single season (19). Knox continued to coach Ballard for his senior season in 2011, when Ballard rewrote the school record book for running backs and went on to be drafted in the fifth round by the Indianapolis Colts in the 2012 NFL Draft. Prior to his arrival at Mississippi State, Knox spent his last 14 seasons coaching in the SEC and nearly 20 years coaching offense on the collegiate level. He came to Mississippi State following a 14-year stretch as Tommy Tuberville’s wide receivers coach at both Ole Miss and Auburn. Knox was also the recruiting coordinator for the last 13 of those seasons. A veteran of 12 postseason bowl games, Knox helped lead the Auburn offense to the top of the SEC in scoring in both 2004 and 2005. He has tutored six players selected in the NFL Draft. He helped Ole Miss reach the 1997 Motor City Bowl, and was part of Auburn coaching staffs that finished football seasons in the 2001 Citrus and Peach Bowls, 2003 Capital One and Music City Bowls, the 2005 Sugar Bowl, the 2006 Capital One Bowl, and the 2007 Cotton and Chick-fil-A Bowls. Of the eight players who he has had selected in the NFL Draft, three came in just two years while at Auburn (Courtney Taylor in 2007, and Ben Obomanu and Devin Aromashodu in 2006). Knox helped Taylor become the school’s all-time leader in receptions, and Obomanu finished second in touchdown receptions. After earning his bachelor’s degree while playing quarterback for Northeastern State, Knox began his coaching career at his alma mater in 1988. Knox spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at Northeastern State and two at TCU before

SCOTT SALLACH
Tight Ends
Sixth season at MSU @CoachSallach
Scott Sallach was hired in 2009 by his former teammate, head coach Dan Mullen, to coach tight ends for the Bulldogs’ offense after spending the previous 11 seasons in the Ivy League. Wasting no time, Sallach helped tight end Marcus Green learn the spread attack in 2009 and in his first season, Green finished second on the team with 27 receptions for 306 yards. In 2010, Green was injured early in the year so Sallach had to lean on a less-experienced cast. Brandon Henderson had his most productive season, and Kendrick Cook, Thomas Webb and younger players each stepped up on gameday and in practice. In 2011, Sallach coached All-Southeastern Conference freshman phenom Malcolm Johnson, who finished tied for second on the team in touchdowns and managed a team-high 18.7 yards per catch (min. 10 receptions). For the third time in his career, Johnson has been named to the watch list for the Mackey Award, presented annually to the nation’s top tight end. Johnson was a second-team All-SEC selection as a junior after racking up 390 yards receiving in 2013. In 2012, with Johnson sidelined for the first half of the year, Sallach continued to develop Green’s game, with the redshirt senior finishing with a career-high six touchdowns. Green’s six scores placed him in the top five in reception touchdowns by a tight end, while his five in conference play tied him for third among tight ends in the country. His performance during the first part of the season put him on the list for the Mackey Award by midseason. Under Sallach’s direction in 2012, Green was the only tight end in the country to be named Mackey Player of the Week twice. A veteran of more than 18 years coaching on the collegiate level, Sallach came to Mississippi State after a six-year stint at Princeton, where he coached wide receivers and quarterbacks. He added the title of passing game coordinator prior to the 2008 season. During his time at the Ivy League school, he oversaw two of the top four career passing yardage totals and two of the best five season passing yardage efforts as passing game coordinator. He coached two of the top seven alltime receivers at Princeton, and in his six seasons coached nine allleague performers, one of whom was named an All-American. Before his stop at Princeton, Sallach worked at Dartmouth College for five seasons (1998-2002), Monmouth for three seasons (1995-97) and Hamilton College for one season (1994). At Dartmouth, he coached the wide receivers while assisting with the special teams, specializing in kickoffs and kickoff returns. During his tenure with the Big Green, the teams set school records for completions in a game and season, and passing yards in a season. His instruction assisted a Dartmouth receiver in becoming the institution’s alltime top pass-catcher for a single game, a season and a career. Sallach also tutored the school’s single season leader in kickoff returns. While at Dartmouth, Sallach’s receivers posted five of the school’s best six single-game receiving totals, the top two single-game and career receivers, and two of the top three career receiving yardage leaders.

With over 20 years playing elite-level football, Deshea Townsend begins his second season as cornerbacks coach at Mississippi State after a successful NFL career. The Mississippi-bred Townsend returned home to make his collegiate coaching debut as cornerbacks coach prior to the 2013 season. It was his first full-time coaching position after two seasons as a member of the Arizona Cardinals staff. In 2010, he finished a 13-year All-Pro NFL career where he won two Super Bowls. In his first season at MSU, Townsend spearheaded one of the top cornerback units in the Southeastern Conference. The Bulldogs ranked fifth in the league in passing defense, allowing 205.2 yards through the air. In addition, MSU was one of only three SEC schools to feature three players in the league’s top eight in interceptions. Starting cornerbacks Jamerson Love and Taveze Calhoun registered three picks apiece and both return in 2014. Prior to joining the MSU staff, Townsend served two seasons as an assistant defensive backs coach under Louie Cioffi with the Arizona Cardinals. Townsend was a decorated football player as he played at an elite level each step of the way. As a 13-year pro cornerback, Townsend played in nearly 191 games, starting 80. He racked up 428 tackles (359 solo), 21 interceptions, 15.5 sacks, five fumble recoveries, four forced fumbles and three defensive touchdowns. As a 12-year member of the prestigious Pittsburgh Steeler defense, Townsend started seven games in the postseason, playing in 14 total. He made 42 tackles with two interceptions on his way to garnering two championship rings in Super Bowls XL and XLIII. Townsend made trips to Davis Wade Stadium as a collegiate corner but not in Maroon and White. The Mississippi-native was a four-year starter (1994-97) for Alabama, earning first-team All-SEC honors at corner in 1996. After a stellar career in the SEC, Townsend was drafted in the fourth round (117th overall) by Pittsburgh in the 1998 NFL Draft.

DAVID TURNER
Defensive Line
Second season at MSU @CoachDT48
David Turner enters his fifth season coaching the defensive line at Mississippi State. Turner made his return to the Maroon and White in 2013 after a threeyear stint coaching the defensive line at Kentucky. Turner coached the same position in Starkville from 2007-09. A veteran of 28 years as a collegiate coach with 13 seasons of experience in the Southeastern Conference, Turner mentored current NFL standouts Fletcher Cox, Kyle Love, Pernell McPhee and most recently Josh Boyd. Boyd was drafted in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. Turner’s 2014 defensive line is a veteran group led by seniors Kaleb Eulls, P.J. Jones and Preston Smith. Turner developed Chris Jones, a five-star defensive lineman in high school, into a freshman All-American in 2013. As a team, the Bulldogs ranked fourth in rushing defense in the nation’s toughest conference, allowing only 144 yards per game last season. In his first season at State in 2007, he helped the Bulldogs to their first postseason appearance in seven years and the defense ranked 24th nationally in tackles for loss. At Kentucky, Turner helped the defense improve in tackles for loss, sacks and rushing yards allowed from the year prior to his hire. The Wildcats improved their sacks-per-game average each season under Turner’s watch, posting more than two per game in 2012. Turner originally joined the MSU staff in 2007 after one season at Alabama. He coached the Crimson Tide defensive ends during his lone campaign in Tuscaloosa. Alabama finished 23rd nationally in total defense in 2006 and advanced to the Independence Bowl. Prior to Alabama, Turner was the defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator at Vanderbilt from 2002-05. One of his linemen, tackle Jovan Haye, went on to the NFL. Vanderbilt had a significant upgrade in talent level during Turner’s term as recruiting coordinator as he helped bring in the players for the Commodores’ eventual Music City Bowl championship in 2008. A native of Goldston, N.C., Turner also has worked in the Big Ten Conference at Minnesota (2001), where he worked with the defensive ends, and in the Atlantic Coast Conference at Virginia (1997-2000), where he coached defensive tackles and linebackers. He also was co-special teams coordinator in his final season. The Cavaliers played in the Peach Bowl, Micronpc.com Bowl and the Oahu Classic during his term there. Turner began his collegiate coaching career in 1986 as an assistant at his alma mater, Davidson College. He worked with the running backs and tight ends over a two-year stretch. In 1988, he moved to North Carolina State, serving two years as a defensive graduate assistant. He worked with a Wolfpack unit that ranked first in the ACC in total defense in 1988 while playing in the Peach Bowl and Copper Bowl. He spent one year as the defensive line coach at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, helping the team to a 12-2 overall record while reaching the Division II national championship game. He also worked two seasons at James Madison, helping the Dukes to a 9-4 record and a berth in the 1991 Division I-AA playoffs.

ROCKEY FELKER
Director of Player Personnel/High School Relations 10th season at MSU
In his fifth different decade with an association to Mississippi State football, Rockey Felker is living proof that persistence, loyalty and hard work pay dividends. Felker played at Mississippi State in the 1970s, served as head coach from 1986-1990 and returned to the Bulldog staff in 2004. Head coach Dan Mullen has directed Felker with a new charge, serving as director of player personnel and high school relations. It is Felker’s second stint in an off-field role, having served as the staff ’s coordinator of football operations for both Jackie Sherrill and Sylvester Croom. For the previous two seasons before Mullen’s arrival, Felker tutored the Bulldog running backs, helping guide Anthony Dixon to nearly 2,000 yards in those two years. Felker was the nation’s youngest collegiate head coach – at age 33 – when he was selected to guide the MSU football program in 1986. He directed the Bulldogs to a 6-5 mark in his first season at the helm, the school’s first winning season in five years. Felker’s team won road games at Syracuse and at defending SEC champion Tennessee during that ’86 season, and he became the first State head football coach to post a winning record in his
initial season since the legendary Darrell Royal in 1954. Felker served as State’s head football coach through the 1990 season. He came back to State as the school’s head coach following 11 years as an assistant coach on the collegiate level. Immediately prior to rejoining the MSU program, he was an assistant at Alabama from 1983-85. He served as the Crimson Tide receivers coach in 1983-84 and the offensive backfield coach in ‘85. During his stay in Tuscaloosa, he helped Alabama to postseason bowl wins over SMU (’83 Sun Bowl) and Southern California (’85 Aloha Bowl). Felker began his coaching career at Mississippi State following his playing days, working for head coach Bob Tyler. He worked with the junior varsity (1975) and the varsity receivers, quarterbacks and running backs (1976-78). A native of Jackson, Tenn., Felker was a five-sport letterman at Brownsville (Tenn.) High School, earning all-state honors in football under the tutelage of his father, Edwin “Babe” Felker, an assistant coach at the school.

| 2013 SEASON IN REVIEW | GAME RECAPS
In front of a raucous crowd at Reliant Stadium, Mississippi State (0-1) fell to No. 13 Oklahoma State (1-0), 21-3 in the AdvoCare Texas Kickoff. The Bulldogs struck first in the 2013 season opener, with Devon Bell nailing a 40-yard field goal on the first drive of the game. MSU’s defense followed the field goal by stifling the Cowboys’ up-tempo offensive attack, forcing five punts in the first half. Momentum swung near the end of the first half when OSU put its first points on the board as quarterback J.W. Walsh scored on a 3-yard QB keeper to give the Cowboys a 7-3 lead with a little more than two minutes remaining. Following an MSU turnover on downs, Oklahoma State drove to the Bulldogs’ 32 and set up for a 49-yard field goal with just seconds left. The attempt was blocked by Nickoe Whitley and Taveze Calhoun returned the ball just nine yards short of the end zone to complete the first half. The third quarter proved to be the turning point in the game as OSU scored on its first drive with a one-yard touchdown from senior running back Jeremy Smith, giving the Cowboys a 14-3 lead. Dak Prescott entered the game for injured senior quarterback Tyler Russell and put together several solid drives, but before a missed field goal, OSU’s Smith scampered for a 20-yard score, making it 21-3 OSU.
In the first home game of 2013, Mississippi State handled the Alcorn State Braves 51-7 to move to 1-1 on the year. The Bulldogs had seven new starters from the Oklahoma State game, including sophomore quarterback Dak Prescott, who played the entire first two quarters and led his team to a 37-0 halftime lead. Prescott gave way to freshman Damian Williams in the second half. Freshmen were a big portion of the contest, as true freshmen led MSU in both rushing and receiving, with Ashton Shumpert (98 rushing yards and two touchdowns) making his debut in the backfield, while wide receiver Fred Ross had three catches for 46 yards. “The losses always look worse than they are and often the wins look better than they are,” Mullen said. “There are certainly some things we need to coach and improve on from this game.” Prescott started the MSU scoring binge with an 11-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and was followed by a pair of Derrick Milton touchdowns to give the Bulldogs a 21-0 lead just minutes into the second quarter. Shumpert punched in his first of two one-yard touchdown plunges in the second quarter to put the home team ahead 28-0. A Jameon Lewis 31-yard touchdown pass from Prescott and a 26-yard field goal closed the first-half scoring. The Bulldogs resumed the touchdown string in the third quarter as Shumpert cashed in again from a yard away. Alcorn State got a 25-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter from John Gibbs Jr. to Tollette George, but a Nick Griffin 10-yard touchdown run finished the scoring. The 556 total yards of offense by Mississippi State were tied for the ninth most in a game in program history.

2014 MISSISSIPPI STATE FOOTBALL
| 2013 SEASON IN REVIEW | GAME RECAPS
Mississippi State fell 24-20 in the final minute to Auburn at Jordan-Hare Stadium in the 2013 Southeastern Conference opener for both teams. Auburn jumped out to an 11-0 lead on a 40-yard field goal and 76-yard touchdown pass from Nick Marshall to Quan Bray before MSU climbed back into the contest in the second quarter, trailing only 14-13 at halftime. MSU got on the scoreboard with just over four minutes remaining in the opening quarter as Jameon Lewis ran for a 14-yard touchdown. Auburn answered with a field goal to make it a 14-6 advantage, but the Bulldogs responded again, this time on a five-yard touchdown run by quarterback Dak Prescott. In the second half, State seemed to take control of the contest, taking a 20-14 lead in the third quarter on a Prescott two-yard touchdown run. The defense helped turn the game around, holding the Tigers to just 18 yards during the third frame. Clinging to a 20-17 advantage with under a minute to play, Auburn drove the length of the field and scored the game-winning touchdown with 10 second to play on an 11-yard toss from Marshall to C.J. Uzomah. Despite the setback, Prescott became the first Mississippi State quarterback to reach 200 passing yards (213) and 100 rushing yards (133) in a game since Chris Relf (224 passing, 103 rushing) against Arkansas in 2010.
On a cool September Saturday night, Mississippi State’s offense was hot, racking up 551 yards on the way to a 62-7 victory over Troy. The Bulldogs, now 2-2 overall, were led by quarterback Dak Prescott, who had four total touchdowns. In fact, both he and receiver Jameon Lewis scored three ways each - rushing, passing and receiving. MSU’s offense lit up the scoreboard, posting 45 points in the first half, the most in a half in the modern era (since 1950), and the second-most ever. The second quarter alone had 35 points, also the most in the modern era and the second-most ever. The 62 total points by the Bulldogs were tied for the 13th most in program history and were the most since tallying 66 against Tulane on Oct. 22, 1994. The Trojans were held to only 186 total yards, 47 rushing and 139 passing. The Trojans entered the contest averaging 547 yards a contest, good for 14th in the country. It was the first time Troy did not reach the 200-yard plateau since Oct. 15, 2011, versus Louisiana-Monroe (126 yards). Linebacker Matt Wells led the defensive unit with five tackles, including one sack and 1.5 tackles for loss. It was actually the defense that sparked the scoring as cornerback Jamerson Love recorded his first interception of the year and second of his career, returning the pick 70 yards for a touchdown to end Troy’s first drive of the game. The runback was tied for the 12th longest in program history.

| 2013 SEASON IN REVIEW | GAME RECAPS
Through three quarters, Mississippi State and LSU played a tight and entertaining game. But then the 10th-ranked Tigers erupted for 28 points in the fourth quarter, ultimately downing the Bulldogs 59-26. With the loss, State fell to 2-3 overall, 0-2 in Southeastern Conference play. LSU improved to 5-1, 2-1. Dak Prescott got the start at quarterback for MSU, completing 9-of-20 passes for 106 yards, in addition to 103 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Senior signal caller Tyler Russell returned to action as well, racking up 146 yards and two touchdowns, while completing 7-of-11 passes as he was mixed in with Prescott in his return to the field since being injured in Week 1 versus Oklahoma State. Russell’s two touchdown passes broke Derrick Taite’s (1993-96/38) program record for career TD tosses and Russell finished the evening with 39. Jameon Lewis led MSU with 111 yards receiving on seven catches, including a 20-yard touchdown toss from Russell. Lewis’ 111 receiving yards were the fourth most in a game by a Bulldog wide receiver during an SEC contest in the Dan Mullen era and Lewis’ 201 all-purpose yards were the fifth most by an MSU player in a league game under Mullen.
Mississippi State (3-3) escaped Saturday night with a close Homecoming win over Bowling Green (5-2), defeating the Falcons 21-20 at Davis Wade Stadium. The Bulldogs’ 3-3 record makes it the fourthstraight year MSU has had a .500 or better record through six contests, a first for the program since 1997-2000. Penalties and mistakes made it a closer game than the Bulldogs would have liked against the Falcons, but 139 rushing yards and 75 passing by quarterback Dak Prescott (and two rushing touchdowns) helped the home team to victory. Joe Morrow was the team’s leading receiver with four catches for 57 yards, while senior running back LaDarius Perkins was second only to Prescott with 83 yards rushing including one touchdown, a diving score on the opening drive of the evening. Perkins’ 83 yards gave him 2,285 in his career and moved him into seventh place on the Mississippi State career rushing yardage chart. Dixon is the career leader with 3,994 yards. MSU’s two other scores came on the ground as well with runs of 75 yards and 10 yards from Prescott, while senior Tyler Russell actually drew the start for MSU at quarterback, completing 12-of-14 passes for 102 yards. Defensively, State was led with eight tackles each from Deontae Skinner and Benardrick McKinney.

2014 MISSISSIPPI STATE FOOTBALL
| 2013 SEASON IN REVIEW | GAME RECAPS
On the backs of Jameon Lewis, Dak Prescott and a late defensive stand, Mississippi State (4-3, 1-2 SEC) beat Kentucky (1-6, 0-4) 28-22 in Starkville on a chilly Thursday night at Davis Wade Stadium. For the second time this season, Lewis scored three different ways, reaching the end zone by receiving, rushing and passing for a touchdown. The junior wide receiver had 53 yards on seven catches, 22 yards on a pair of rushes and 17 yards on his one pass, a touchdown to Prescott, the sophomore quarterback. Senior linebacker Deontae Skinner paced the Bulldogs with 11 tackles defensively, including six solo stops. He was followed by linebacker Benardrick McKinney, who notched 10 of his own. The victory pushed the Bulldogs’ overall record to 4-3 and putting the program above .500 through seven games in consecutive years, a first for MSU since 1999-2000. Mississippi State has won four-straight contests versus Southeastern Conference East Division foes (2011/Kentucky, 2012/Tennessee and Kentucky, 2013/Kentucky). It is tied for the program’s longest winning streak versus East Division foes since the divisional format was adopted for the 1992 season (2009/Kentucky, 2010/Georgia, Florida, Kentucky). Head coach Dan Mullen also improved to 9-3 against SEC East foes with the triumph.
Five turnovers plagued Mississippi State (4-4, 1-3 SEC) Saturday afternoon as the Bulldogs fell 34-16 to 14th-ranked South Carolina at WilliamsBrice Stadium. After a first half that saw the Bulldogs down only a touchdown at halftime (17-10), Carolina capitalized on two MSU miscues in the third quarter and sandwiched another touchdown in between to lead 34-10 after three periods. MSU managed a fourth-quarter score for the final points of the afternoon. State actually outgained USC in total offense, 385 yards to 307. The Bulldog attack was led by quarterback Dak Prescott, who was 28-of-43 through the air for 235 yards, but he was also hampered by three interceptions. MSU’s two TDs on the day came from Prescott rushes. Robert Johnson and Jameon Lewis were Prescott’s favorite targets, each hauling in seven receptions. Defensively, State was paced by Deontae Skinner’s five tackles. Three others had four stops, including Preston Smith who added a tackle for loss and QB hurry. Bernardrick McKinney added a quarterback sack.

| 2013 SEASON IN REVIEW | GAME RECAPS
In the last game of a road stretch before returning home, Mississippi State (4-5, 1-4 SEC) tried its best to keep up with the Texas A&M offense, but just couldn’t quite do it, falling by a 51-41 score to the 15th-ranked Aggies (8-2, 4-2) Saturday afternoon. Tyler Russell started the game at quarterback for MSU, but Dak Prescott entered on the third drive and played the majority of the game for the Bulldogs, racking up over 100 rushing yards (154) for the fourth time this season. He accounted for 303 yards of total offense in the game including two touchdown passes. The Aggie defense mostly held receiver Jameon Lewis in check, but the multi-purpose threat threw his third touchdown of the season, a trick play with Joe Morrow on the receiving end of the score. True freshman De’Runnya Wilson was the star of the receiving group, hauling in a careerhigh seven catches for 75 yards and two touchdowns for the Bulldogs. Josh Robinson and LaDarius Perkins each added TDs on the ground for State. Robinson amassed 73 yards rushing. Jamerson Love had a career day defensively, intercepting Heisman-winner Johnny Manziel twice (two of three picks that State had on the day), though the defense had a tough time holding the A&M quarterback in check much of the afternoon.
Mississippi State gave top-ranked Alabama a fight for the majority of Saturday night, but stifling defense and recovery from errors ultimately gave the Crimson Tide (10-0, 7-0 SEC) a 20-7 victory over the Bulldogs (4-6, 1-5). MSU’s defense put forth one of its best performances of the year, limiting the Crimson Tide to its lowest point total of 2013, and fewest since a 9-6 outing against LSU on Nov. 5, 2011. The Bulldogs were led by true freshman defensive lineman Chris Jones and cornerback Taveze Calhoun. Jones had a sack and a tackle for loss. Calhoun picked off Tide quarterback A.J. McCarron twice as the Bulldog defense forced four turnovers over the course of the game. Kendrick Market led all MSU tacklers with a personal-best 10 stops. He also forced his first career fumble. Offensively, Mississippi State was led by senior quarterback Tyler Russell, who completed 15-of24 passes for 144 yards, and junior tight end Malcolm Johnson, who caught a career-high six passes for a personal-best 84 yards. State’s lone score of the night, early in the third quarter, came when offensive lineman Charles Siddoway recovered a loose MSU fumble in the end zone. At the time, it trimmed Alabama’s lead to 10-7. It was the first touchdown by an MSU offensive lineman since senior Gabe Jackson fell on a ball in the end zone against Auburn on Sept. 9, 2010.

2014 MISSISSIPPI STATE FOOTBALL
| 2013 SEASON IN REVIEW | GAME RECAPS
It took overtime to secure the victory, but Mississippi State found a way to win on the road Saturday afternoon, beating Arkansas 24-17. State (5-6, 2-5 SEC) kept bowl hopes alive with the win. Arkansas fell to 3-8, 0-6 in the league. Bulldog true freshman quarterback Damian Williams scored the winning touchdown for the Bulldogs on the first play of overtime, a 25-yard scamper up the middle. Taveze Calhoun sealed the win by intercepting the Razorbacks on fourth down on the potential game-tying possession for the Hogs. Running back Josh Robinson led the way for MSU offensively, racking up 101 yards on the ground despite only playing in the second half. Signal caller Tyler Russell, named the starting quarterback shortly before the game, put up a gritty effort despite his injury from last week, completing 18-of-28 passes for 263 yards and two touchdowns. Wide receiver Jameon Lewis made a big return to the stat book, catching six passes for 94 yards and a score. Defensively, the Bulldogs forced two fumbles and racked up seven tackles for loss to keep the Razorback offense in check. Senior safety Nickoe Whitley, in addition to a forced and recovered fumble, led the team with 10 tackles on the afternoon.
In below freezing temperatures and in front of a raucous home crowd, Mississippi State powered its way to an overtime victory against arch rival Ole Miss Thursday night, winning the 110th edition of the Egg Bowl 17-10 at Davis Wade Stadium to close out the 2013 regular season. It was Dan Mullen’s fourth victory in the Battle for the Golden Egg in his five years at MSU and his Bulldogs are now bowl-eligible for the fourth-straight year under his guidance. For the second-straight week, it was MSU’s defense being a key in securing an overtime victory for State, stripping the ball away from Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace and recovering it in the end zone to end the game. Dak Prescott didn’t make an appearance until the fourth quarter, but his late-game drive led to the tying field goal at 10-10 and then he took the ball into the end zone himself in overtime to score the winning points. Prescott, who was not expected to play in the game due to injury, relieved freshman Damian Williams, who put up a very solid effort in his first start under center ever for MSU. Taveze Calhoun played the best game of his young career, racking up a team-high 11 tackles, including nine solo. Nickoe Whitley, Justin Cox and Richie Brown all had interceptions of Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace, who the MSU defense kept in pretty solid check all night long. Brown and Chris Jones also notched sacks of Wallace in the contest. Prior to the winning TD in overtime, State got a touchdown in the second quarter on a 1-yard Josh Robinson run and the tying field goal from Evan Sobiesk with just 2:21 left in regulation.

| 2013 SEASON IN REVIEW | LIBERTY BOWL RECAP
Mississippi State ended the year and its 2013 season and year with a fitting celebration Tuesday, ousting the Rice Owls 44-7 to claim victory in the 55th AutoZone Liberty Bowl. With the win, the Bulldogs secured their fourth-straight winning season and Dan Mullen earned the record for most bowl wins by any MSU coach ever, now 3-1 in four bowl appearances in his five seasons as the Bulldog mentor. State dominated the game on both sides of the ball, with the defense holding Rice’s top-15 national rushing attack to only 61 yards on the ground in the game while the Bulldog offense racked up 533 total yards on the other side of the ball. After the Owls took an early 7-0 lead, the Bulldogs went on to score 44 unanswered points in the convincing win. Five different State players scored touchdowns in the contest. State set school and Liberty Bowl records in the game. Quarterback Dak Prescott accounted for five touchdowns responsible for (a Liberty Bowl record) while throwing for 283 yards and three scores and rushing for two others. Wide receiver Jameon Lewis set the all-time MSU record for receiving yards in any game - regular or post season - with 220 yards on nine catches. Preston Smith led the Bulldogs with six tackles. MSU ended 2013 on a flurry, winning consecutive overtime games at Arkansas and against arch rival Ole Miss at home to become bowl eligible and vault itself into Tuesday’s contest in Memphis.

Bulldogs a 12-7 lead. That same twosome had combined for a 65-yard scoring pass to give MSU a stunning 13-7 upset at Army during the 1935 season. Armstrong’s scintillating passes had provided State with the impetus to gain the lead. His aerial strikes set up Pickle’s touchdown run prior to his throw to Walters to gain Mississippi State the lead. Brumbaugh later found Hefferlie for the game-winning TD pass in the fourth quarter. The Dukes edged State after two Bulldog conversion tries had failed. The narrow loss to Duquesne was a microcosm of the ‘36 season for State. The Maroons lost three games by a total of 20 points.

MSU was considered to have the finest line in the South during the ‘40 season, a group that boasted three all-Southeastern Conference performers, plus the aforementioned Elrod, a consensus all-America. When asked to compare all his great teams at Mississippi State, head coach Allyn McKeen said, “Some of the school’s greatest wins came during the 1939 season, but I have to go with the 1940 team as my best.”

UCF stood strong, however, and held MSU to a 22-yard Adam Carlson field goal, tying the game at the 6:02 mark. UCF would have scoring chances on two consecutive drives in the third and fourth periods but Torres, who came into the game having hit 19-of-21 field goals on the year, would miss from 32 and 37 yards on those drives, negating some offensive momentum that the Knights had built at that point in the contest. Dixon ended the day with 86 yards on 24 carries for the Bulldogs, who managed just 198 yards from scrimmage the entire game. The game’s attendance of 63,816 established a new Liberty Bowl record. The previous record of 61,497 was set in 1991 when the Bulldogs played Air Force.

| FACILITIES | DAVIS WADE STADIUM AT SCOTT FIELD
Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field Capacity: 61,337
Head coach Dan Mullen and the Mississippi State Bulldogs return to the raucous atmosphere of Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field in 2014, when State will celebrate the 100-year anniversary of Scott Field at Davis Wade Stadium with an intoxicating seven-game home schedule. Nineteen of the top 20 crowds in stadium history have come during Mullen’s tenure as head coach of the Bulldogs. Christened after Olympic sprinter Don Magruder Scott, one of State’s first football superstars, the 100-yearold historic facility (the nation’s second-oldest Division I-A campus football stadium) has undergone five renovation and expansion projects during its history. Thanks to 30 consecutive home sellouts entering the 2014 season, more than $100 million in football projects have been initiated in the last few years. Of that figure, $75 million of it is for the nationally-praised 2014 Davis Wade expansion. The latest addition of note at Mississippi State’s Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field is an expansion and renovation completed in August 2014 which increased capacity to 61,337, provided additional premium seating, elevators, restrooms and concessions, and a completely new west side concourse. Construction began in August 2012. The construction contract for the project was awarded to the Harrell Contracting Group of Jackson, Miss. Harrell won the construction project in a university sealed bid process. The north end zone addition created a total of 8,815 new seats, which, factored with the loss of the previously existing bleacher seating in the north end zone, resulted in a net 6,255-seat increase. Included in those 8,815 seats were 7,076 grandstand seats, 1,155 Scoreboard Club seats, 236 loge seats, 22 traditional suites totaling approximately 288 seats and 60 field-level suite seats. Additionally, standing room availability and ADA-compliant seating were also included in the project. Also included in the north end zone is a non-seated, field level premium area, The Gridiron, which provides club-like amenities to any season ticket holder who buys a membership regardless of that person’s stadium seat location. The visiting team locker room was also relocated to the north end zone addition, allowing the gameday recruiting center to expand in its current location. The north end also features a new high-definition video board similar in size to the one currently standing on the stadium’s south end, which is among the largest in
168
college athletics. The west side renovation showcases a rebuilt concourse under the west stands, the addition of four high-capacity elevators, an increase in restroom and concession point of sale facilities and a brick facade that matches the new construction on the north. In 2014, fans see the number of elevators at Davis Wade Stadium more than double (from five to 12), the restroom fixture total nearly double (from 313 to 621), and permanent concession point of sale positions increase by over 40 percent (from 110 to 156). For media, the project included a new television compound away from the stadium proper. The TV compound is now located west of the stadium, allowing network broadcast trucks to connect to stadium equipment via underground cable runs. The renovation and expansion was funded by the sale of $68 million in bonds and $7 million in private giving. Private contributions for the stadium project were part of the Bulldog Club’s Today. Tomorrow. Forever Athletics Facilities Initiative, which is completely independent of annual giving and priority seating donations. Construction and renovation design for the Davis Wade Stadium expansion and renovation was handled by local architect LPK of Meridian, Miss., along with national sports consultants 360 Architecture of Kansas City. The design team engineered the north end zone facility to support future expansion of approximately 5,000 seats, including 22 additional suites and an upper deck. The 2014 renovation and expansion came on the heels of installing $1.4 million LED ribbon boards in the summer of 2011. The project, funded by the Bulldog Club, is located in the upper deck facades on the east and west sides, and brings fans in-game graphics, scores, stats and other pertinent information to improve the game-day experience. One of the most talked about features at Davis Wade, however, is one of college football’s largest high-definition video boards, located in the south end zone of the stadium. The $6.1 million true HD board spans the roof of the Leo Seal M-Club Center in the south end zone at Scott Field. The board measures 152 feet wide by 135 feet, 6 inches tall, with a main HD screen 111 feet wide by 47 feet high. It is the second-largest board in the Southeastern Conference and the eighth largest nationally. The last previous expansion came in the summer of 2000 and raised capacity to 55,082 with the addition of 50 skyboxes and 1,700 club-level seats. The expansion continued into the 2001 season with the addition of 7,000 upper-deck seats. The entire project, completed at a cost in excess of $30 million, was made possible, in large part, by a financial commitment from the late Floyd Davis Wade Sr., of Meridian, Miss., for whom the stadium itself is now named. Earlier building efforts in 1936 and 1948 brought capacity at Scott Field to 35,000 seats and provided the basic concrete grandstand structure (35 years after the ‘48 expansion, the end zone seating structures were removed, lowering the capacity to 32,000 in 1983). But after 25 years, Scott Field was ready for another facelift and an expanded seating potential for the school’s growing following. A $7.2 million drive in 1986, spearheaded by former MSU athletic director Carl Maddox and an active group of university and community leaders, financed the addition of 9,000 seats to Scott Field’s capacity without the use of appropriated state funding. A 5,500-seat upper deck, an additional 1,700 chairback seats that extend from the stadium’s original structure, and another 1,000 chairback seats flanking the Bob Hartley Press Box on the second level were added to the west side. Two 1,700seat sections were added to the east side stands to bring
capacity to 40,656. Other improvements to the stadium have also been made. In the summer of 1999, the Turman Fieldhouse on the south end of the stadium underwent many changes, including enhanced dressing rooms and a new recruiting lounge for Bulldog football prospects. The third floor addition to the Turman Fieldhouse -- the Leo Seal M-Club -- houses a heritage room and game-day gathering place for former Bulldog athletes, and serves as one of the campus’ more popular meeting places. The $1.4 million project, completed in 1990, was made possible through the generosity of MSU alumnus and former Bulldog football letterman Leo Seal Jr., who named the building in honor of his father, also a twoyear football letterwinner at State. Earning a reputation of being one of the nation’s toughest places to play, the facility has been host to average attendances in excess of 55,000 the last five seasons. In fact, the last 10 years have seen the largest cumulative totals in the stadium’s history. During the 2010 campaign, Bulldog fans smashed nearly all stadium records that had been previously set. During the seven-game schedule, a total of 384,995 fans entered Davis Wade Stadium, smashing the 2009 record by over 8,000. The home campaign also saw a record
average 54,999 fans a game while notching three of the stadium’s top five crowds ever (Georgia, UAB, Arkansas). The home campaign witnessed the Bulldogs win at least five home games for the sixth time in school history. In 2011, Mullen and his program watched as each game recorded a then top-15 all-time attendance mark at Davis Wade Stadium, including 57,871 against Alabama (second) and 56,924 vs. LSU (fourth). The 335,695 total fans to watch a game in Starkville was the highest ever for a six-game schedule at Davis Wade Stadium. Two seasons ago in 2012, another record was set with 389,396 fans flocking to Scott Field for an average attendance of 55,628 per contest, including 57,831 against Tennessee - the third-largest crowd in school history. State fans broke the school record for total attendance again in 2013 with 389,868 total fans, including a seven-game record average of 55,695. On Nov. 16, 2013, 57,211 people wrapped in Maroon and White attended the Alabama game, the fourth-largest crowd in school history. Scott Field’s playing surface, which hosted 16-straight home victories between 1998-2000, is lush Hybrid Bermuda Grass (Certified Tifway 419), complete with a brand-new underground drainage and irrigation system. The field is encircled by a holly-lined sideline fence and end zone landscaping. In conjunction with the 100-year anniversary of Scott Field in 2014, MSU sold a school record for single-season ticket sales. As of June 2014, MSU sold 44,230 season tickets, breaking the old mark of 44,212 set in 2012. Included in that record-setting figure are 11,000 student tickets.

| THIS IS MSU | HISTORY OF BULLDOGS
M
ississippi State University’s athletic teams are called Bulldogs, a name earned and maintained over the decades by the tough, tenacious play of student-athletes wearing the Maroon and White. The official school mascot is an American Kennel Club registered English Bulldog, given the inherited title of ‘Bully.’ As with most universities, Mississippi State University teams answered to different nicknames through the years. The first squads representing Mississippi A&M College were proud to be called Aggies. When the school officially became Mississippi State College in 1932, the nickname Maroons, for MSU’s uniform color, gained prominence. Bulldogs became the official title for State teams in 1961, not long after State College was granted university status. Yet references to school teams and athletes as Bulldogs actually go back to early in the century, and this nickname was used almost interchangeably with both Aggies and Maroons, since at least 1905. On November 30 of that year, the A&M football team shut out their arch-rivals from the University of Mississippi 11-0 in Jackson, Miss. The campus newspaper, The Reflector, reported: “After the game, filled with that emotion that accompanies every great victory, there was nothing left for the cadets to do but to complete the great victory by showing sympathy for the dead athletic spirit of the University, by having a military funeral parade. “A coffin was secured, decorated with University colors and a bulldog pup placed on top. It was then placed on the shoulders of a dozen cadets, and the procession started down Capitol Street, preceded by the brass band playing a very pathetic funeral march.” Other newspaper reports of the victory commented on the ‘bull-
176
dog’ style of play by the A&M eleven, and the Bulldog was soon publicly accepted as a school athletic symbol. Accounts of a 1926 pep rally in Meridian, Miss., had another bulldog parading with students. Official Mascot In 1935 Use as an official game mascot began in 1935 when coach Major Ralph Sasse, on ‘orders’ from his team, went to Memphis, Tenn., to select a bulldog. Ptolemy, a gift of the Edgar Webster family, was chosen and the Bulldogs promptly defeated Alabama 20-7. A litter-mate of Ptolemy became the first mascot called ‘Bully’ shortly after Sasse’s team beat mighty Army 13-7 at West Point that same year - perhaps the greatest victory in MSU football history. But Bully I earned other fame the hard way, in 1939 when a campus bus cut short his career. Days of campus mourning followed, as Bully lay in state in a glass coffin. A halfmile funeral procession accompanied by the Famous Maroon Band and three ROTC battalions went to Scott Field where Bully was buried under the bench at the 50-yard line. Even Life magazine covered the event. Other Bullys have since been buried by campus dorms, fraternity houses, and also at the football stadium. For years Bully was a target for kidnappers, the last incident occurring prior to the 1974 State-Ole Miss game. The Bulldog team won anyway, 31-13. While early Bullys once roamed campus freely or lived in fraternities, today the official university mascot is housed at the School of Veterinary Medicine when not on duty at State home football games. For all their fierce appearance and reputation, today’s mascot bulldogs are good-natured, friendly animals and favorites with children. A student wearing a Bulldog suit, also answering to Bully, is part of the MSU cheerleading team and assists in stirring up State spirit at games and pep rallies.
2014 MISSISSIPPI STATE FOOTBALL
| THIS IS MSU | THE COWBELL
T
he most unique and certainly the most resounding symbol of Mississippi State University tradition is the cowbell. Despite decades of attempts by opponents and authorities to banish it from scenes of competition, diehard State fans still celebrate Bulldog victories loudly and proudly with the distinctive sound of ringing cowbells. The precise origin of the cowbell as a fixture of Mississippi State sports tradition remains unclear to this day. The best records have cowbells gradually introduced to the MSU sports scene in the late 1930s and early 1940s, coinciding with the ‘golden age’ of Mississippi State football success prior to World War II. The most popular legend is that during a home football game between State and archrival Ole Miss, a jersey cow wandered onto the playing field. Mississippi State soundly whipped the Rebels that Saturday, and State College students immediately adopted the cow as a good luck charm. Students are said to have continued bringing a cow to football games for a while, until the practice was eventually discontinued in favor of bringing just the cow’s bell. Whatever the origin, it is certain by the 1950s cowbells were common at MSU games, and by the 1960s were established as the special symbol of MSU. Ironically, the cowbell’s popularity grew most rapidly during the long years when State football teams were rarely successful. Flaunting this anachronism from the ‘aggie’ days was a proud response by students and alumni to outsider scorn of the university’s ‘cow college’ history. In the 1960s two MSU professors, Earl W. Terrell and Ralph L. Reeves, obliged some students by welding handles on the bells so they could be rung with more convenience and authority. By 1963 the demand for these long-handled cowbells could not be filled by home workshops alone. So, at the suggestion of Reeves, the Student Association bought bells in bulk and the Industrial Education Club agreed to weld on handles. In 1964, the MSU Bookstore began marketing these cowbells with a portion of profits returning to these student organizations. Today many styles of cowbells are available on campus and around Starkville, with the top-of-the-line being a heavy chrome-plated model with a full Bulldog figurine handle. But experts insist the best and loudest results are produced by a classic long-handled, bicycle-grip bell made of thinner and tightly-welded shells. Cowbells decorate offices and homes of Mississippi State alumni, and are passed down through generations of Bulldog fans. But they were not heard at Southeastern Conference games - not legally, at least - since the 1974 adoption of a conference rule against ‘artificial noisemakers’ at football and basketball games. On a 9-1 vote, SEC schools ruled cowbells a disruption and banned them. The ban was lifted prior to the 2010 season. The ban did little harm to the cowbell’s popularity, or to prevent
cowbells from being heard outside stadiums in which the Bulldogs are playing. They are now heard at non-conference football contests, as well as other sporting events on campus. MAROON & WHITE Maroon and White are the distinctive colors of Mississippi State University athletic teams, dating back over a century to the very first football game ever played by the school’s student-athletes. On November 15, 1895, the first Mississippi A&M football team was preparing for a road trip to Jackson, Tenn., to play Southern Baptist University (now called Union University) the following day. Since every college was supposed to have its own uniform colors, the A&M student body requested that the school’s team select a suitable combination. Considering this choice to be an honor, the inaugural State team gave the privilege to team captain W.M. Matthews. Accounts report that without hesitation Matthews chose Maroon and White. In the 112 years since, every Mississippi State athlete has donned the Maroon and White in some sort of combination. Often a shade of gray has been added to the scheme, such as for the numerals. Briefly in the 1980s, the men’s and women’s basketball teams wore all-gray uniforms with maroon and white trim, while football has at times sported silver game pants, and baseball will often wear all gray road outfits. Only once has an MSU team appeared in any other color combination. In 1938, football coach Spike Nelson secretly had cardinal and gold uniforms made for State, a selection that did not sit well with the team or the college at the first game. Neither the uniforms nor Nelson were back for the next season. MSU ALMA MATER In the heart of Mississippi, Made by none but God’s own hands, Stately in her natural splendor, Our Alma Mater proudly stands. Mississippi State, we love you; Fondest memories cling to thee, Life shall bear thy spirit ever; Loyal friends we’ll always be.

| THIS IS MSU | UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT DR. MARK KEENUM
Dr. Mark Keenum University President
Dr. Mark Everett Keenum became Mississippi State’s 19th president Jan. 5, 2009, following a distinguished public service career. Despite difficult economic times, Dr. Keenum guided Mississippi State to new heights during his first five years in office. His quick action to address budget shortfalls following the recession that began in 2008 put the university in position to meet those challenges and maintain the highest level of academic excellence. Since then, the university has experienced record enrollment growth to more than 20,000 students. The freshman class of fall 2013 was not only the largest in university history, but also reported the highest average ACT scores in university history. During 201112, Mississippi State awarded more than 4,000 degrees at all levels for the first time in its history, and followed that with more than 4,200 degrees in 2012-13. The campus has expanded and improved since 2009 with the addition of three new residence halls, the Mize Pavilion, a state-of-the-art basketball practice facility, and the Leo W. Seal Jr. Football Complex. A major renovation of historic Lee Hall is to be complete in spring 2014 and a major expansion of Davis Wade Stadium will be completed by August 2014. Construction of a new classroom building with built-in parking got under way in January 2014. Since 2009, fundraising has reached all-time record levels, with private giving exceeding $80 million a year in fiscal years 2011, 2012, and 2013. In fall 2013, the university formally announced Infinite Impact: the Campaign for Mississippi State, which had been in its quiet phase for three years, with a goal of $600 million by 2018. By January 2014, the campaign total had surpassed $380 million. Dr. Keenum has also been instrumental in expanding the MSU Promise Program, which provides need-based scholarship assistance to Mississippi students whose families have limited financial means. Through the Sonny Montgomery Center for America’s Veterans, he has also led initiatives to make Mississippi State one of the most veteran-friendly universities in the nation. Mississippi State has strengthened its role as the flagship research university in the state. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching classified MSU as a university with “very high research activity,” the only such designation in Mississippi. Dr. Keenum travels frequently to Washington, D.C., meeting with Congressional leaders and federal agency heads to pursue research opportunities and broaden the university’s influence on the national level. He has also worked closely with state leaders in support of higher education in Mississippi. Keenum serves as vice-chairman of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools’ Commission on Colleges’ Executive Council. SACS-COC is the recognized regional accrediting body in the 11 U.S. Southern states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia) and in Latin America for those institutions of higher education that award associate, baccalaureate, master’s or doctoral degrees. He also is a member of the American Public Land-Grant Universities Board of Directors. Based in Washington, D.C., the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) is a research and advocacy organization of public research universities, land-grant institutions, and state university systems with member campuses in all 50 states, U.S. territories and the District of Columbia. A graduate of Mississippi State University with degrees in agricultural economics, Dr. Keenum began his career at MSU as a faculty member with the Extension Service and the Department of Agricultural Economics. He went on to serve as chief of staff to U.S. Senator Thad Cochran in Washington, DC and was Under Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture prior to returning home to Mississippi State. He graduated from Corinth (MS) High School and earned an associate of arts degree from Northeast Mississippi Community College in Booneville and was a

| THIS IS MSU | DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS SCOTT STRICKLIN
Scott Stricklin Director of Athletics
Beginning his third decade of experience in intercollegiate athletics, Scott Stricklin has built a wave of momentum within the Mississippi State fan base during his tenure as the director of athletics. From his first day on the job as Mississippi State’s Athletic Director in May 2010, Stricklin, integrating the department’s three foundations of focus on student-athletes, possessing great integrity and aggressively promoting Mississippi State University, has overseen a stretch in which the Bulldogs enjoyed both on and off the field successes unparalleled in more than a decade. In the midst of 30-consecutive sellouts at Davis Wade Stadium, and a $100 million investment in football facilities, Coach Dan Mullen’s football team has played in a school-record, four-consecutive bowl games. The sports of tennis baseball, softball, men’s and women’s golf and track and field have each excelled and advanced to NCAA postseason play under Stricklin’s guidance. During the 2013-14 academic year, 11 Mississippi State sports advanced to NCAA postseason play, with seven earning top 25 rankings during the season. The year was capped by Brandon McBride winning the 800-meter run at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Oregon. This came one year after the baseball team played for the national championship in Omaha. In the classroom, Bulldog student-athletes continue to excel. In the 2013-14 academic year, Mississippi State’s men and women athletes posted a combined GPA of 2.90. In spring 2014, women’s sports posted an overall GPA of 3.15, with the women’s tennis team posting a GPA of 3.70. Also in 2014, Bulldog student-athletes again excelled in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate, with all 16 sports far exceeding the minimum standard. Stricklin has overseen record fundraising for Bulldog Athletics, which has produced new facilities such as the $11.7 million Mize Pavilion at Humphrey Coliseum, the $25 million Leo W. Seal Jr. Football Complex, as well as $75 million in expansion and upgrades to Davis Wade Stadium that is set for completion for the season opener against Southern Miss. The Davis Wade Stadium expansion and renovation pushes capacity to 61,337, making it the largest on campus football stadium in the state of Mississippi. In addition to new premium seating options, a new brick facade and updated west concourse, complete with renovated restrooms and concessions, now greets fans attending games at historic Scott Field, which celebrates its 100th season of existence this year. In addition to interacting with Bulldog fans through social media and personal interactions, Stricklin has also emerged as a regional and national leader in college athletics. He serves as chair of the SEC’s Working Group on Fan Experience, and is also the SEC’s representative on the NCAA Division I Leadership Council. Stricklin certainly wasn’t a stranger to the Bulldog family or college athletics when he took over the reins at State in 2010. A 1992 graduate of Mississippi State, the Jackson, Miss., native’s resume is highlighted by 25 years of experience on the collegiate level in various capacities at five different universities. In the two years prior to becoming athletic director, he served as Senior Associate Athletics Director for External Affairs at his alma mater, overseeing fundraising, football and men’s basketball scheduling, managing MSU’s all-sport agreement with Adidas, facility planning, and serving as the administrative sport liaison for men’s basketball and softball. It was those types of day-to-day tasks that prepared the personable Stricklin to take over the top seat in the Mississippi State athletic department. Yet it’s a journey that started during his formative days as a dedicated and tireless worker in the Mississippi State media relations department that’s led to his highly-respected career coming full circle.
Prior to graduating, Stricklin’s stint in the MSU media relations office included three seasons (1990-92) as the media contact for the nationally-renown baseball program. Upon graduation, he was named assistant media relations director at his alma mater. He continued his climb up the ladder of success when he was named Associate Media Relations Director at Auburn, where he served from 1993-98. In 1998, Stricklin left Auburn to become Assistant Athletics Director at Tulane, where he served as the primary media contact for the Green Wave’s 1998 12-0 football team. Next came a four-year run in the Big 12 Conference at Baylor (1999-2003) as Assistant AD for Communications and Marketing. In 2003, Stricklin returned to the Southeastern Conference at Kentucky and spent five seasons as the Associate AD for Media Relations, where he oversaw the day-to-day publicity of the tradition-rich Wildcat basketball program. It was his last stop before returning to Mississippi State in the spring of 2008. Stricklin, 44, is married to the former Anne Howell, the youngest daughter of Basketball Hall of Fame member Bailey Howell. The couple has two daughters, Abby and Sophie.

| MEDIA INFORMATION | MEDIA POLICIES
MEDIA CREDENTIALS
Arrangements for media credentials for Mississippi State’s seven home football games in 2014 must be made through the MSU Athletic Media Relations Office. Requests by accredited media members should be made through the SportsSystems online credentialing system. The system will go live at the end of July. Please contact the MSU Athletic Media Relations office for any further questions. Priority for the issuance of credentials will be given to daily newspapers, radio stations and television stations which cover MSU football on a regular basis. Due to space limitations, weekly publications, non-broadcasting radio representatives and online services may not be granted credentials. Student publications, radio stations and websites that do not regularly cover MSU or its opponent, will be limited to one working media credential and/or one sideline photo pass, if applicable. Other credential requests will be filled on a space-available basis. Non-working spouses, dates, relatives, non-workers and anyone 16 years of age or younger are not permitted in the press box. Media credential holders who violate this policy risk forfeiture of future credentials. Media credentials must be requested at least 72 hours prior to the requested game. Media credential holders in the press box who are not actively covering the game, or credential wearers on the sideline who are not on assignment, will be asked to leave those respective areas. Press box or sideline security will be contacted should the credential wearer not comply. Credentials used in an unauthorized manner will be revoked immediately, and news organizations who allow credentials to fall into improper hands will have the credentials revoked for the remainder of the year or the succeeding year, at the university’s discretion.
PHOTOGRAPHERS/VIDEOGRAPHERS
MSU follows the guidelines established by the NCAA Communications Committee and the SEC regarding sideline control to insure the sideline is a working media area. The following guidelines are adhered to: 1) Each photographer is required to wear a photo vest. 2) Photo vests must be secured at the photographer’s credential pickup, at the base of the media elevator at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field. Display the photo credential to the media relations representative there and receive a photo vest with a corresponding number. Both the credential and the photo vest must be worn on the field. 3) After kickoff, no photographers are permitted in the bench area, on the playing field, or in the 12-foot area between the photo limit line and sideline. 4) In accordance with NCAA policies, no freelance photographers will be credentialed. 5) Cutline writers, messengers and equipment carriers are not permitted in the sideline photo vest area. Photo assistants or others holding a “sideline” pass must remain out of the photo area immediately adjacent to the playing field. This will insure that photographers/videographers have the appropriate working area. 6) Tripods are not permitted in the sideline photo vest area. Monopods are permissible. 7) The areas behind the team benches are considered bench areas and are to be used only for the passage between the north and south sidelines. This area may not be used as a photo zone.
POSTGAME INTERVIEWS
Mississippi State officials will recognize the NCAA’s 10-minute cooling-off period following each MSU game this season, home and away. Head Coach Dan Mullen and selected players will be available for postgame interview purposes following each game on the second floor of the Seal M-Club Center at the south end of Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field. MSU players may not be approached on the field following games for interviews. Mullen’s portion of the press conference may also be viewed in the press box on the MSU TV Center channel on press box television monitors. The visiting head coach and players will be available following the cooling-off period near the new visitors locker room in the north end zone. This media opportunity will be coordinated by the visiting SID and Mississippi State Media Relations personnel. The Robert M. Hartley Press Box, named for longtime Mississippi State Sports Information Director and administrator Bob Hartley, is located on the 200 level of the west side of Davis Wade Stadium. To access the press box, enter Gate 5 on the west side of Davis Wade Stadium and take the media elevator to Level 2.
PRESS BOX SERVICES
MSU provides ample work space in the 144-seat Robert M. Hartley Press Box for members of the print media as well as booth accommodations for radio networks and originating telecasts. Postgame work space is available in both the open-air seating area of the press box or in the climate-controlled work area adjacent to the seating area.
STATISTICS
Complete individual and team stats, play-by-play and postgame quotes will be available to the media following each game. One hour prior to kickoff, media packets containing a game program, flipcard, updated stats and game notes will be distributed in the media working area. An internal public address system will provide updated notes and information during the game. A postgame fax service is also available upon request.
TELEPHONES
A limited number of telephones are available for media use in the press box on a first-come, first-served basis. Private lines are recommended for those working under tight deadlines and may be ordered through BellSouth (1-800-622-0644 [out of state] or 662-557-6000 [in Mississippi]). Instruct BellSouth personnel to install the line in the press box at Scott Field, B.S. Hood Drive, on the MSU campus. Please notify the Media Relations office when ordering private lines so that phone line installation and seat location can be coordinated.
ETHERNET/WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY
A limited number of Ethernet connections are available for photographic transmission in the climate-controlled area of the press box. These connections are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis to photographers requesting the service. All Ethernet lines are NOT reserved by any media entity and may be shared when not in use. The press box is equipped with wireless internet access. To gain access to the wireless internet, media members should look for the password posted around the press box.
MEALS
A pregame meal is served in the Robert M. Hartley Press Box beginning approximately two hours before kickoff with a light snack available in the press box at halftime. A stub on your credential, or a season pass is required for the pre-game meal.

2014 MISSISSIPPI STATE FOOTBALL

| MEDIA INFORMATION | RADIO/TELEVISION
BULLDOG RADIO/TELEVISION All 12 of Mississippi State’s regular-season football games will be carried live on the MSU Football Radio Network, a product of Learfield Sports. The trio of Jim Ellis (play-by-play), Matt Wyatt (analyst) and John Correro (sideline) return for their fourth season together, but their experience in the booth is far longer than just four years. For Ellis and Correro, a former MSU quarterback, it’s their 36th season with MSU football, while Wyatt, also a former Bulldog quarterback, joined the broadcast in 2011. Wyatt and Bart Gregory also host a pre- and post-game show each Saturday there’s a game. Ellis will also return as host of MSU DawgTalk, a weekly callin radio show with sixth-year Bulldogs’ coach Dan Mullen that airs each Thursday from Dawg House Sports Grill in downtown Starkville.
