STORYLINES

MSU Aims For Nine-Win Season Against NC State in 2015 Belk Bowl MSU aims for back-to-back seasons of at least nine victories for the first time in school history as the Bulldogs take on NC State of the ACC in the 2015 Belk Bowl at 3:30 p.m. ET on Dec. 30 in Charlotte. • MSU, picked to finish last in the SEC West, earned a tie for fifth place in college football’s toughest division with a 4-4 mark. The Bulldogs won at least eight games for the fourth time in the last six years. They seek at least nine victories for the third time in seven years. • Dan Mullen, the 2014 Maxwell Football National and SEC AP Coach of the Year, owns the highest winning percentage (.607) at MSU since College Football Hall of Famer Allyn McKeen from 1939-48 (.764, min. 3 seasons). Mullen is the third-longest tenured SEC coach at his current school behind Les Miles and Nick Saban. MSU was 32-65 in the eight years prior to Mullen’s arrival. • Dan Mullen has led MSU to a school-record six straight bowl appearances. Prior to Mullen’s arrival, the previous record for consecutive bowl appearances was three from 1998-2000. Mullen is tied with Jackie Sherrill for most MSU bowl appearances (6), and Mullen is tops in MSU bowl wins (3-2). • Since the start of 2014, MSU is the SEC’s third-winningest team with an 18-7 record (Alabama 1st, Georgia 2nd). It’s the winningest 25-game stretch for MSU since 1999-2001 when they were 19-6. • The Bulldogs are making their first-ever Belk Bowl appearance and own a 10-8 record in bowl games. • NC State leads the all-time series 3-2 and the two are meeting for the first time since the 1995 Peach Bowl. • Dak Prescott, a two-time first-team All-SEC QB and owner of a master’s degree as of Dec. 11, holds a 22-10 record as a starter and he has shattered 38 school records entering his final game. For his career, the senior has scored 44 TDs (41 rush, 3 receiving) and been responsible for a schoolrecord 110 TDs (fourth SEC history). For the season, Dak is 291-of-435 for 3,413 yards with 25 TDs and four interceptions. Prescott is the fourth player in FBS history and second in SEC history with 60 pass TDs and 40 rush TDs, joining another Dan Mullen protege in Tim Tebow. Dak ranks third in SEC career total offensive yards (11,470). He needs four passing yards and 26 rushing yards to become only the fourth player in FBS history with 9,000 passing yards and 2,500 rushing yards. • Jr. WR Fred Ross takes a school-record streak of four straight 100-yard receiving games into the Belk Bowl. During this streak, the first-team All-SEC selection has combined for 41 catches for 500 yards and three touchdowns. He needs 103 receiving yards to break the MSU single-season record.

No one has had more of a profound impact on shaping Mississippi State football into a national contender than Dan Mullen. The 2014 National and Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year, Mullen is in his seventh season in Starkville after guiding the Bulldogs into unprecedented territory, including the fastest ascent from unranked to No. 1 in college football history. Seven years into his tenure, Mullen (54-35, .607) owns the highest winning percentage as a State coach since the late College Football Hall of Famer Allyn McKeen from 1939-48 (.764), and he is third in school history in victories (54). Prior to Mullen’s arrival, the school record for consecutive bowl game appearances was three. Under his guidance, the Bulldogs have been to a school-record six consecutive bowl games, including their first Orange Bowl berth in 73 years in December 2014. Mullen has produced at least eight victories in four out of the last six seasons while playing in college football’s toughest division. In the 114 years prior, MSU had only produced 11 eight-win campaigns. No coach in school history had ever been a finalist for a national coach of the year honor until Mullen won the Maxwell Football Club’s National Coach of the Year award in 2014. He also claimed the Associated Press SEC Coach of the Year award that same fall. The 2014 season was arguably the best in school history as Mullen’s group won 10 regular season games for the first time and 10 overall for just the third time. The Bulldogs claimed six SEC wins -- the most by MSU since 1999 -- while finishing second in the difficult SEC West. Mullen developed a team that went from unranked to No. 1 quicker than any in college football history (five weeks; Ohio State made the move in six weeks in 1964). The Bulldogs were the nation’s No. 1 team for the first time in 80 years of Associated Press polls following wins over No. 6 Texas A&M and No. 2 Auburn during a raucous stretch in Davis Wade Stadium. MSU became the first team since 1983 Auburn to defeat three consecutive

top-10 ranked teams. The Bulldogs also became the first squad to hold the No. 1 ranking in the inaugural College Football Playoff poll. The year was capped with a berth in the Orange Bowl for the first time since 1941. Mullen’s squad rewrote the MSU record books in 2014, shattering 22 single-season records, including 10 by National Player of the Year finalist Prescott. The Bulldogs led the SEC in total offense for the first time since 1982, putting up a school-record 513.8 yards per game. State earned its highest Associated Press poll finish since 1940 (No. 11), and it tied its highest finish ever in the USA Today Amway Coaches poll (No. 12). MSU has shattered 99 team or individual single-game, single-season and career statistical records under Mullen. The Bulldogs have also produced a first-team All-America selection in five out of the last six years. Linebacker Benardrick McKinney became the latest recipient in 2014 before being selected in the 2015 NFL Draft. Player development has been key in Mullen’s six previous seasons. Eighteen MSU players have been chosen in the NFL Draft under Mullen’s watch since 2010. The five selections in 2015 were the most through the first six rounds of a draft in school history and the most overall in a draft since a school-record five went in 1995. Of the five Bulldogs drafted, three earned “two stars” in high school, while two were “three-star” recruits before arriving in Starkville. An additional school-record seven players signed NFL free agent contracts following the 2015 NFL Draft. 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. Twenty Bulldogs were named to the 2014 SEC Academic Fall Honor Roll. During Mullen’s entire six-year tenure at MSU, 110 players have earned the distinction of SEC Honor Roll recipient. During the historic run to No. 1 in 2014, the Bulldogs’ 2.76 grade point average was the program’s highest ever while 20 of the 21 seniors have earned undergraduate degrees.

12/30/2011 – MSU 23, Wake Forest 17 Nashville, Tenn. (Music City Bowl)

Like it had done two years prior, Mississippi State gained an early advantage in this Peach Bowl match-up. Place-kicker Tim Rogers, MSU’s Offensive Player of the Game, booted a 37-yard field goal just 2:21 into the contest, and the Bulldogs had a 3-0 advantage. But, as NC State was able to do throughout the game, the Wolfpack erased that early lead. Running back Tremayne Stephens capped an 80-yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown run to give NCSU a 7-3 lead. Senior running back Michael Davis scored from 11 yards out to give MSU a 13-10 edge. A pair of big plays opened the door for the Bulldogs to take control of the game as the second half began. Forcing the ‘Pack to punt on their first series of the second half, Andre Bennett blocked the NC State kick into the end zone for a safety, and MSU had a two-point lead. On the ensuing free kick, Keffer McGee returned the punt a bowl-record 50 yards, putting the Bulldogs in business at the NCSU 15-yard line. Rejuvenated by the disaster averted, NC State struck for a game-tying touchdown and two-point conversion at the close of the third period. Harvey hit Dallas Dickerson from 3 yards out for the score, and then ran for the extra points. The Wolfpack used a big play of their own, a 62-yard pass play to set up their go-ahead score. Freshman fullback Carlos King bulled in from 11 yards away and State was down 28-21.

THE NOTEBOOK

2015 PLAYER HONORS Ryan Brown • Sr. • DE

MORE NOTABLES • Cowbells will be permitted in Bank of America Stadium and the NFL’s clear bag policy will be enforced. • The Bulldogs will wear maroon helmets, maroon jerseys and gray pants for the Belk Bowl. The gray pants were chosen in a fan vote. MSU also wore gray pants against Alabama and Arkansas. • MSU owned a 4-1 mark on the road this season, its best since going 4-1 in 1994. • MSU has produced a school-record eight 100-yard receiving games this season, surpassing the mark of seven set last year. Four times in the past two years and twice this season (at Arkansas and at Missouri), the Bulldogs have produced multiple 100-yard receivers in the same game. In its last bowl game (Orange Bowl), MSU had three players achieve the feat - Fred Ross, De’Runnya Wilson and Joe Morrow. • The Bulldogs are tops in the SEC and fourth nationally in fewest penalties with 48 this year. • MSU is second nationally in number of different players who have recorded a PBU with 19 (Alabama, 20). • The Bulldogs have 14 different players who have caught a pass this season, including nine with 10 or more. The nine with 10 or more leads the SEC. Missouri is next closest with eight. • Spreading the wealth: In 10 of the 12 games this season and 19 of the 25 games in the last two seasons, MSU has had at least eight players catch a pass in a game. • Under Dan Mullen (since 2009), State is 49-1 when leading at the half and 49-1 when leading at the end of the third quarter. The Bulldogs are 8-0 when leading at the half this season. • The Bulldogs are 3-0 this season when scoring first and have won 14 straight games when doing so. The last loss in that scenario was at South Carolina on Nov. 2, 2013. • Dak Prescott went into 2015 with a school-record .605 career completion percentage. In 12 games this year, it has climbed to .629. • Two of the SEC’s top four in freshmen tackles hail from MSU: S Brandon Bryant (third with 57) and LB Gerri Green (fifth with 44). Green was a freshman All-SEC selection. • Jr. LB Richie Brown is MSU’s leading tackler with 101, which was sixth in the SEC. He’s the first Bulldog with 100-plus tackles in a season since Cam Lawrence had 120 in 2012. Brown also led MSU in sacks with 5.5. He’s 11 tackles shy of 200 for his career. • Jr. DE A.J. Jefferson is tops on the squad in tackles for loss with 13.5, which ranks sixth in the SEC and 66th nationally. Jefferson has had at least one TFL in 10 out of his last 13 games. • Dak Prescott in the redzone this year: 27 touchdowns (10 rush, 17 pass) with zero turnovers. As a team, no one in the SEC has been better in redzone offensive percentage than MSU. The Bulldogs have converted 45-of-50 times (90 percent), including TDs in 35-of-50 opportunities (70 percent). MSU ranks 13th nationally in redzone offense. • MSU ranked third in the SEC and seventh nationally in redzone defense, allowing 72.1 percent scores (31-of-43).

MSU PRODUCED A FIRST-TEAM ALL-SEC QUARTERBACK, WIDE RECEIVER IN SAME SEASON SINCE 1978

BULLDOGS IN THE NFL (19, 13 active)

Dak Prescott and Fred Ross both earned first-team All-SEC honors, representing the first time since 1978 that the school produced a quarterback and wide receiver together on the first team. • Prescott is the first two-time first-team All-SEC quarterback for MSU since Billy Stacy in 195657. Prior to his arrival, the Bulldogs had not produced a first-team All-SEC QB since Don Smith in 1986. • Since 1990, Prescott is one of only four SEC QBs to earn back-to-back first-team All-SEC honors, joining Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel (2012-13), Florida’s Tim Tebow (2007-09) and Florida’s Shane Matthews (1990-92). • Prescott led the SEC in the following categories in conference games: completions (226), completion percentage (67.1), passing yards (2,528), touchdown-to-interception ratio (17:4), passing yards per game (316.2) and total offense per game (363.2). • Ross is the first MSU receiver to earn first-team All-SEC coaches honors since Buffalo Bills great Eric Moulds in 1995. • In addition, linebacker Gerri Green was named to the Coaches All-SEC Freshman Team. Every previous player under Dan Mullen who has been named All-SEC Freshman has gone on to sign an NFL contract following their collegiate playing career.

DAK RUSHED FOR AT LEAST 10 TDS THREE STRAIGHT YEARS Dak Prescott is only the third NCAA FBS quarterback in the last 20 years to rush for 10 touchdowns in three straight seasons. Tebow and former Nevada QB/current San Francisco 49er Colin Kaepernick both did it. Prescott rushed for 13 in 2013, 14 in 2014 and 10 this season.

MSU TIED FOR SIXTH NATIONALLY IN BLOCKED KICKS State has blocked four kicks this season, which is tied for second in the SEC and sixth nationally. It’s the second straight season that the Bulldogs have blocked four kicks, tying a school record. MSU led the league in that category last season as well. Beniquez Brown became the latest Bulldog to block a kick, recording one on the potential game-winning field goal by Arkansas (29 yards) with 0:39 remaining in the game on Nov. 21 in Fayetteville. Brown has blocked two kicks this season. That ranks second in the SEC and seventh nationally. He blocked a punt in the season-opener at Southern Miss. MSU also blocked a punt against Louisiana Tech (Donald Gray) and blocked a field goal against Alabama (Tolando Cleveland).

TONY HUGHES NAMED JACKSON STATE HEAD COACH MSU assistant head coach/safeties coach Tony Hughes was named the head coach at Jackson State on Dec. 14. Hughes has spent all seven years on Dan Mullen’s staff with the Bulldogs. Ephraim Banda, MSU’s defensive quality control specialist, has been coaching the safeties in bowl practice. The 56-year-old Hughes achieved a lifelong dream of becoming a head coach.

THREE SENIORS SIDELINED BY INJURIES IN BELK BOWL Three seniors on the MSU defense will miss the Belk Bowl due to injury: DE Ryan Brown (foot), CB Will Redmond (knee) and S Kendrick Market (knee). In addition, TE Gus Walley (head) HAILSTATE.COM

and LB Dez Harris (knee) will miss the contest. Brown suffered a stress fracture in his right foot and underwent surgery in early December. Market suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in the second quarter of the Texas A&M game on Oct. 3 and missed the final seven games of the season. Redmond tore his ACL in his right knee on practice on Tuesday, Oct. 20 and missed the final five games of the year. He was projected one of the top cornerbacks in the nation by ESPN’s Mel Kiper. Harris tore his ACL in his left knee in the second half against Louisiana Tech on Oct. 17 and missed the final five games of the year.

PLAYING IN AN NFL STADIUM FOR SIXTH STRAIGHT YEAR MSU will be playing in an NFL stadium for the sixth time in seven years and the sixth straight year. Under Dan Mullen, the Bulldogs have played at EverBank Field in Jacksonville (two times), Nissan Stadium in Nashville (once), NRG Stadium in Houston (once) and Sun Life Stadium in Miami (once). Next season, MSU will travel to Gillette Stadium, the home of the New England Patriots, for a game against UMass on Sept. 24 in Foxborough.

TAVEZE CALHOUN A FINALIST FOR “ACADEMIC HEISMAN” Senior cornerback Taveze Calhoun was named a finalist for the Campbell Trophy. The Campbell Trophy recognizes an individual as the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation. The Morton, Mississippi, native received an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship as a member of the 12-person NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class. Calhoun was the only player in the SEC to receive the award. After having earned his undergraduate degree in interdisciplinary studies in May 2015 with a 3.51 GPA, Calhoun is now working towards his graduate degree in workforce leadership.

FRED ROSS, DE’RUNNYA WILSON NATION’S BEST WIDE RECEIVERS

AMONG

Jr. WRs Fred Ross and De’Runnya Wilson have been a difficult tandem for opposing defenses. • Ross, a first-team All-SEC recipient, broke the MSU record for singleseason receptions and led the SEC in the process with 81. His 70 catches in conference games also led the league and were the second-most nationally. Ross broke David Smith’s MSU record of 74 in 1970. The 81 catches are also 14th in SEC single-season history. • Ross’ 933 receiving yards this season are third in the SEC and 102 shy of tying the MSU single-season record of 1,035 set by Mardye McDole in 1978. • MSU has produced five 100-yard receiving games in the last four contests led by four consecutive from Fred Ross. Ross has five for the season, which is tied for the MSU single-season record with Tony Burks (2006) and Mardye McDole (1978). De’Runnya Wilson has one 100-yard receiving game this season. • Wilson’s nine TD catches this season are second in MSU single-season annals, just three shy of tying Chad Bumphis’ 2012 school record of 12. • Wilson has caught at least one TD pass in five out of his last seven games. He was the first Bulldog to catch a TD pass in four straight games since Bumphis in 2012. • Wilson is now in sole possession of second place in MSU career TD catches with 21. Chad Bumphis had a school-record 24 from 2009-12. Eight of Wilson’s 21 TD catches have come on third down during his career, including three this year.

A.J. JEFFERSON LEADS IN TACKLES FOR LOSS Junior A.J. Jefferson is having one of the best seasons by a defensive end in school history. Jefferson has registered 13.5 tackles for loss. • Jefferson has tallied at least one tackle for loss in 10 out of the last 13 games, racking up 15 TFL during that stretch. He did not have a TFL against Louisiana Tech, Alabama or Ole Miss. • Jefferson ranks sixth in the SEC in tackles for loss. • Jefferson, who has played in 38 career games, has recorded 24.5 tackles for loss in his career. That is ninth in MSU career history.

DAK TO BEAR: THE MOST PROLIFIC QB, WR TD COMBO IN SCHOOL HISTORY Senior quarterback Dak Prescott and junior wide receiver De’Runnya Wilson are the most prolific touchdown combination in school history. The two broke the mark against Arkansas, connecting for their 18th touchdown, which surpassed Tyler Russell-Chad Bumphis. Top QB-WR Touchdown Combinations in MSU History QB-WR TDs 1.

FOURTH QUARTER COMEBACK With its 51-50 victory at Arkansas on Nov. 21, MSU recorded its largest fourth-quarter comeback since the 2007 Egg Bowl: • The Bulldogs trailed 32-21 with 13:00 remaining in the fourth quarter against the Razorbacks. MSU trailed 14-0 in the Nov. 23, 2007 Egg Bowl at the start of the fourth. • The win over Arkansas was MSU’s largest fourth-quarter comeback in the Dan Mullen era and just the sixth double-digit fourth-quarter comeback in school history. • MSU has recorded three fourth-quarter comeback victories in the Dan Mullen era: 2013 Egg Bowl (trailed 10-7, won 17-10 in overtime); 2013 Arkansas (trailed 17-10, won 24-17 in overtime).

DAK’S PERFORMANCE AT ARKANSAS ONE OF THE GREATEST IN SEC HISTORY After becoming the first player in the 83-year history of the SEC to record 550-plus yards of total offense and account for seven touchdowns in a single game, Dak Prescott was named SEC Offensive Player of the Week following the 51-50 win at Arkansas on Nov. 21. • Prescott tied the SEC record by accounting for seven touchdowns (5 passing, 2 rushing), finishing with 554 yards of total offense (508 passing, 46 rushing), more than any SEC team accumulated that Saturday. • He became the first FBS player since 2013 to tally 550 yards of total offense and seven scores in a single game. The team captain also became the ninth SEC player to be responsible for seven touchdowns in a game, the eighth SEC player to throw for more than 500 yards and joined 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel as the only other SEC player to rack up over 550 yards of total offense in a game. • The 51 points MSU scored were the most in an SEC road game in school history.

MULLEN REACHES 50 WINS, QUICKEST SINCE 1946 Dan Mullen became the third coach in Mississippi State history to hit the 50-win plateau with the victory over Troy. Mullen, in his 83rd game, became the fastest MSU coach to reach 50 wins since Allyn McKeen won his 50th in his 63rd game on Oct. 26, 1946. By comparison Jackie Sherrill won No. 50 in his 94th game on Sept. 4, 1999. Mullen was the Maxwell Football National Coach of the Year and Associated Press SEC Coach of the Year in 2014. He’s led MSU to six consecutive bowl games for the first time in school history while recording a school-record three bowl wins.

MSU Pulls Away From Southern Miss, 34-16 Dak Prescott threw for two touchdowns, rushed for another and accounted for 309 yards of total offense as Mississippi State pulled away from a muchimproved Southern Miss squad, 34-16, in the first meeting between the two teams in Hattiesburg since 1989. Brandon Holloway got the scoring going for the Bulldogs, answering a USM field goal with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown with 5:26 remaining in the first quarter. Trailing 10-7 midway through the second quarter, Prescott found true freshman Justin Johnson for a 5-yard TD strike. The Bulldogs held USM short of the goal line on four straight plays from inside the 3-yard line to take a 14-10 lead into the half. Prescott culminated a nine-play, 95-yard drive escaping and finding Gus Walley for a 4-yard touchdown pass with 12:15 to go in the third quarter. The big play of the drive was Prescott’s 49-yard scamper down the sideline to set up the score. Westin Graves booted the first made field goals of his career to tack on the lead and Prescott closed the scoring with a 7-yard TD run with 5:55 remaining. Prescott finished with 72 yards on the ground and 237 yards through the air. Richie Brown was MSU’s leading tackler with 11 and one interception. A.J. Jefferson notched seven tackles, including two sacks. Jefferson provided the crucial fourth down stop that prevented the Golden Eagles from scoring before the first half. Will Redmond added an interception. Mississippi State Southern Miss

No. 25 MSU nearly overcame a 21-6 deficit in the fourth quarter, but No. 14 LSU escaped with a 21-19 win in the Southeastern Conference opener in Davis Wade Stadium. Dak Prescott was a career-best 34-of-52 for 335 yards and one touchdown, including a 5-yard TD pass to De’Runnya Wilson with 4:00 to play that pulled the Bulldogs within two. The 34 completions set an MSU team and individual single-game record, breaking Prescott’s old mark of 33 set in the 2014 Orange Bowl. MSU came up short on the two-point conversion attempt when Prescott and Ashton Shumpert weren’t able to connect in the corner. Prescott was a perfect 6-of-6 on the 82-yard drive. The Bulldogs retained possession with 1:32 left in the game. Prescott again marched MSU down the field from its own 11-yard line. However, Devon Bell’s 52-yard field goal sailed wide right as time expired. The Tigers held the Bulldogs to only 43 rushing yards. MSU trailed 14-3 at the half at the hands of LSU’s Leonard Fournette who finished with 159 yards rushing and three touchdowns. For the second straight game, Richie Brown was the Bulldogs’ leading tackler with 11, including 1.5 for loss and one sack. A.J. Jefferson collected two tackles for loss, while Kendrick Market had nine tackles.

Mississippi State set a school single-game record with 647 yards of total offense as the Bulldogs blew out Northwestern State of the FCS Soutland Conference, 62-13. The Bulldogs scored on their first three possessions and led 20-0 after the first quarter. Dak Prescott completed his first nine passes of the game and found Gabe Myles for a 49-yard touchdown pass for the first score. Myles added his second score of the contest on a 6-yard rush with 8:39 left in the second quarter. MSU amassed 364 yards of offense in the first half. Backup quarterbacks Nick Fitzgerald and Elijah Staley saw the first significant action of their careers in the second half. Donald Gray hauled in four passes for 140 yards, including a brilliant over-the-shoulder 45-yard catch in the second quarter that gave Prescott the MSU career passing yards record. Fitzgerald tallied his first career TD pass on a 49-yard strike to Gray in the fourth quarter. Staley’s second career pass was a 37-yard TD to Joe Morrow down the far sideline. The Bulldogs held the Demons to 1-of-13 on third down. Kivon Coman led all MSU tacklers with seven, while Taveze Calhoun registered a career-best two tackles for loss. Gerri Green added six tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. The two teams were meeting for the first time since 1946.

Dak Prescott threw two touchdown passes and Mississippi State’s defense made four stops in the red zone to help the Bulldogs beat No. 25 Auburn 17-9 on Saturday night in Jordan-Hare Stadium. MSU recorded back-to-back wins over Auburn for the first time since 1999-2000. Auburn missed on four possessions inside the 10 with new starting quarterback Sean White. On the game’s first possession, White completed his first four passes before throwing the ball straight into the hands of cornerback Will Redmond near the goal line. Near the end of the second quarter, the Tigers drove to the 2, but failed on two runs. Prescott was able to set his feet on nearly every throw, connecting with Gabe Myles for a 32yard touchdown pass over the middle for a 7-0 lead in the first and hitting Wilson down the right sideline for a 14-0 lead in the second. Prescott managed the clock efficiently in the second half, helping the Bulldogs take a 17-6 lead late in the third on Westin Graves’ 44-yard field goal. Auburn outgained MSU 389-326, including 201-56 on the ground. Richie Brown led all tacklers with a career-best 13 , including 12 solo stops, three for loss and two sacks. A.J. Jefferson notched a forced fumble, two tackles for loss and one sack, continuing his streak of five straight games with a tackle for loss. For the first time in the Gus Malzahn era (since 2013), the Tigers failed to score a touchdown.

Dak Prescott accounted for 306 yards of total offense, but No. 14 Texas A&M’s 24-10 start proved to be too much to overcome for MSU in a 30-17 loss at Kyle Field. The Aggies started the game with a 12-play, 91-yard drive that was culminated on a fourth down conversion at the 1-yard line with Kyle Allen finding Ricky Seal-Jones. MSU responded with a field goal on its first possesion, but A&M answered with a 73-yard drive in 2:06 to make the deficit double-digits. The critical point came late in the second quarter. After true freshman Malik Dear scampered 52 yards for a touchdown, MSU had the momentum and the football again with 1:58 to play. The Aggies forced a three-and-out and Allen marched them down the field for another score. A&M tallied 330 yards of total offense in the first half but was limited to only two field goals in the final two quarters. MSU had chances to cut into the lead but two costly turnovers on fumbles by De’Runnya Wilson and Aeris Williams halted Bulldog drives. Fred Ross finished with a game-high 11 receptions and 103 yards receiving. Richie Brown and Beniquez Brown each finished with a game-high 11 tackles. The attendance of 104,445 was the largest crowd Mississippi State has ever played in front of.

Nick Fitzgerald, who stepped in for an ill Dak Prescott, accounted for 170 yards of total offense and three touchdowns as MSU used a dominant first half to roll past Troy, 45-17, in Starkville. The Bulldogs led 38-0 at the break. Prescott played only the first three series of the game. He woke up on gameday with a stomach virus and was ill most of the day. Troy dominated the time of possession (40:25) in the game, but managed only two trips to the red zone against State’s physical, bend-but-don’t-break defensive scheme. The tempo for the game was set early. On the second play from scrimmage, Prescott found Fred Ross for a 65-yard touchdown catch. On the ensuing Troy possession, quarterback Brandon Silvers fumbled into the end zone and Nelson Adams recovered it for a touchdown. Ross then scored on a 77-yard punt return at the 3:04 mark. It was the fi rst punt return for a TD by MSU since 2011. After Troy botched a 51-yard field goal attempt early in the fourth quarter, Fitzgerald connected with Donald Gray for a 49-yard touchdown to re-extend the MSU lead. Gerri Green led the Bulldogs with a career-best 11 tackles, while Ryan Brown collected a career-high 3.5 tackles for loss.

After trailing 14-0 10 minutes into the first quarter, MSU responded outscoring Louisiana Tech 45-6 the rest of the way to go undefeated in non-conference regular season play with a 45-31 victory in Starkville. Dak Prescott accounted for four touchdowns and was an efficient 30-of-43 for a season-best 347 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. Aeris Williams put the Bulldogs on the scoreboard with a 2-yard touchdown run with 2:30 left in the first quarter. Trailing 17-10, Prescott marched MSU down the field on a 12-play, 85-yard drive culminating with a 5-yard TD pass to De’Runnya Wilson to tie the game at 17 all. The biggest play of the day came right before the half when Donald Gray broke through and blocked a punt that was recovered by Brandon Bryant at the 2-yard line. On the ensuing play, Prescott gave MSU the lead for good on a 2-yard keeper. The Bulldogs led 24-17 on the break. MSU picked up where it left off on the first series of the second half, going on a season-long 11-play, 98-yard drive. Prescott found Wilson for the second time for a 20-yard pass to cap the drive. Bryant showed his playmaking ability again in the fourth quarter, intercepting Jeff Driskel and returning it 73 yards for a touchdown to put MSU up 45-20 with 7:10 to go. J.T. Gray led all tacklers with a career-high 10.

Dak Prescott tied a school record with six touchdowns responsible, running for three and throwing for three, as MSU played its most complete game of the season in a 42-16 win over Kentucky under the lights in Davis Wade Stadium. Prescott became the first player in school history to throw for 300 yards and rush for 100 yards in the same game. UK held a 10-7 lead after the first quarter, but the Bulldogs outscored the Wildcats 35-6 the rest of the way. Prescott hit De’Runnya Wilson for a 13-yard touchdown early in the second. The senior then engineered a 5-play, 69-yard drive in 1:27 and hit Brandon Holloway for an 8-yard touchdown. The score was setup by a 63-yard reception down the sideline by Holloway. Four plays later, Taveze Calhoun recorded the first of his two interceptions on the night of Patrick Towles and, after a short drive, Prescott ran 20 yards for another touchdown. In the second half, Kentucky squandered a first-and-goal with a series of penalties and had to settle for 32-yard field goal. The Bulldog offense responded immediately, as Prescott hit Darrion Hutcherson for a 13yard touchdown. Prescott rushed for another touchdown in the fourth quarter. He finished with 465 yards of total offense, which was third in school annals. He was named National Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts. Calhoun added another acrobatic interception in the second half. Kivon Coman finished with a game-high nine tackles, while Beniquez Brown had seven tackles, including 1.5 tackles for loss. MSU rushed for a season-best 204 yards.

Prescott Paces No. 20 MSU in Rain-Soaked Win at Missouri, 31-13 Not even a heavy rain storm could stop Dak Prescott and No. 20 Mississippi State against the SEC’s top scoring defense in a rare Thursday night game. Prescott accounted for 351 yards of total offense and threw four touchdowns as the Bulldogs won their fourth straight by a score of 31-13 at Missouri. It was the first meeting between the two teams since 1984. Prescott became the 10th player in SEC history with 10,000 yards of total offense after entering the game needing just 65, and he became the sixth player in history to account for 100 touchdowns. Fred Ross got the scoring started by catching a 36-yard Prescott strike in stride on the fourth play of the game. State led 14-13 at the half following a terrific 28yard touchdown catch in the corner by De’Runnya Wilson. That score was setup by a 69-yard kickoff return by Brandon Holloway. The Bulldogs then outscored the Tigers 17-0 in the second half. Wilson made his second touchdown grab and Fred Brown added one. Chris Jones, Beniquez Brown and Richie Brown registered two tackles for loss apiece. Beniquez Brown was MSU’s leading tackler with eight. Kivon Coman and Gerri Green registered their first career interceptions.

No. 17 Mississippi State saw its four-game winning streak come to an end as No. 2 Alabama jumped out to a 21-3 halftime lead and never looked back in Starkville. The Bulldogs, who entered the game with the SEC’s best redzone offense, were unable to come away with touchdowns in three redzone opportunities, including two in the first half. The Tide punted on four of its first five possessions and Jake Coker was picked off by Brandon Bryant in the other possession. MSU was unable to take advantage. Alabama captured the momentum on Cyrus Jones’ 69yard punt return touchdown with 10:44 left in the second quarter. The Bulldogs then went three-and-out, and Coker hit Calvin Ridley for a 60-yard score. MSU managed a field goal, but Derrick Henry broke loose for the Tide’s third big play, accounting for a 74-yard run with 5:10 to go in the half. Dak Prescott was sacked nine times on the day, but he did manage to throw for 300 yards for the fourth straight game. Fred Ross was his leading target with his second straight 100yard receiving game on eight catches. MSU outgained the Tide 393 to 379 but big plays proved to be the difference. Alabama controlled the time of possession and field position in the second half. Beniquez Brown was the Bulldogs’ leading tackler with a career-best 11 tackles. Kivon Coman added nine tackles.

Dak Prescott delivered the greatest performance by a quarterback in MSU history, accounting for a school-record 554 yards of total offense and an SECrecord-tying seven touchdowns. In the process, he guided the No. 25 Bulldogs to its largest fourth-quarter comeback since 2007, defeating Arkansas 51-50 in Fayetteville. Beniquez Brown preserved the victory, blocking a potential Arkansas game-winning 29-yard field goal off the foot of Cole Hedlund with 0:39 remaining. MSU ran out the clock. Prescott rallied MSU from a 42-31 deficit, engineering a 74-yard drive that culminated with one of his two rushing scores and a 68-yard drive with 6:58 to play to make it 44-42 Bulldogs. The Razorbacks responded behind Brandon Allen’s arm, going on a touchdown drive in 1:25 to retake the lead. However, Prescott did it again, taking MSU 82 yards and finding Fred Ross for the eventual game-winner -- a 14-yard strike -- with 3:05 to play. Ross finished with 154 yards receiving, including a one-handed, 55-yard touchdown catch and run in the first half. Beniquez Brown led MSU with 12 tackles in addition to the blocked field goal. The teams combined for 1,110 yards of offense.

No. 18 Ole Miss jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter, taking advantage of two turnovers and never looking back as No. 21 MSU fell 38-27 on Senior Day in Davis Wade Stadium. Dak Prescott, in his final home game, accounted for three touchdowns. Fred Ross became the first Bulldog to go over the 100-yard receiving mark in four straight games, and in the process, shattered the school single-season record for receptions. The Rebels led 28-3 at the half. MSU outscored Ole Miss 24-10 in the second half but the first-half deficit proved to be too much. Prescott scored the Bulldogs’ first touchdown on a 1-yard run and Westin Graves knocked a 27-yard field goal through to make it 28-13 with 5:42 to go in the third quarter. However, Ole Miss responded with 10 unanswered points. True freshman Malik Dear accounted for both of MSU’s touchdowns in the fourth quarter, catching a 13-yard touchdown pass and a 7-yarder on Dak’s final career pass at home. Richie Brown collected a game-high 12 tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss. Redshirt freshman Brandon Bryant added a career-best 10 tackles. Prescott was sacked seven times for a loss of 41 yards.

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.”

Coach Bob Tyler’s Bulldogs, who finished 9-3 and 18th in the nation, set the stage for the game when Most Valuable Offensive Player Terry Vitrano took a handoff

MSU — Packer 1 run (Nickels kick)

from quarterback Rockey Felker and sprinted 55 yards on the game’s opening play.

UNC — Betterson 1 run (Alexander kick)

While a rising fog blanketed the field during most of the first half, Vitrano gained big chunks of real estate to end the day with 164 yards on 20 carries, including a game-winning, two-yard touchdown run. That run capped a 6:29 drive that ate most of the fourth-quarter clock, ending at the 3:41 mark. Three times MSU faced third downs on the drive and State faced a fourth-and-2 at the UNC 25-yard line, where Felker called his own number, clawing for 15 yards. Felker then ran eight more yards to set up Vitrano winning score. The drive reminded both Tyler and Felker of the Bulldogs’ 29-28 win over Memphis State earlier in the year, a game in which State drove 98 yards in the closing two minutes for the win.

Mississippi State’s 455 yards of rushing, which still stand as a Sun Bowl record, were just a bit much for the Tar Heels, coached by MSU grad Bill Dooley. “This team was better than we expected in a lot of ways,” Tyler said. “I think we’re a year ahead. We established unity in our program that usually takes two seasons to establish. I’ve never been more confident or enthusiastic about the future than I am right now.”

1995 PEACH BOWL

#16 MISSISSIPPI STATE 24 #23 NC STATE 28 January 2, 1995 • The Georgia Dome • Atlanta, Ga.

For the second time in three years, Mississippi State earned a berth in the Peach Bowl. And for the second time in three years, the Bulldogs held a third-quarter lead over its counterpart. But again, State could not maintain that advantage, dropping a 28-24 decision to NC State. Like it had done two years prior, Mississippi State gained an early advantage in this Peach Bowl match-up. Place-kicker Tim Rogers, MSU’s Offensive Player of the Game, booted a 37-yard field goal just 2:21 into the contest, and the Bulldogs had a 3-0 advantage. It would be the first of a bowl-record and school-standard tying five field goals for Rogers. But, as NC State was able to do throughout the game, the Wolfpack erased that early lead. Running back Tremayne Stephens capped an 80-yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown run to give NCSU a 7-3 lead. Rogers and Steve Videtich traded field goals around the first-quarter break before the Bulldogs mounted a touchdown drive of their own. Senior running back Michael Davis scored from 11 yards out to give MSU a 13-10 edge. A pair of big plays opened the door for the Bulldogs to take control of the game as the second half began. Forcing the ‘Pack to punt on their first series of the second half, Andre Bennett blocked the NC State kick into the end zone for a safety, and MSU had a two-point lead. On the ensuing free kick, Keffer McGee returned the punt a bowl-record 50 yards, putting the Bulldogs in business at the NCSU 15-yard line. Unable to advance the ball into the end zone, State settled for a Rogers field goal and its lead was just 18-13. Three plays later, however, Larry Williams, State’s Defensive Player of the Game, put his team back in scoring position with a standout defensive play. On a second-and-16 play from the NCSU 30, Williams sacked quarterback Terry Harvey, stripped him of the football, and then recovered the pigskin at the 21. But once again, the Bulldog attack was not able to capitalize, and Rogers was forced to convert a 36-yard field goal. Rejuvenated by the disaster averted, NC State struck for a game-tying touchdown and two-point conversion at the close of the third period. Harvey hit Dallas Dickerson from 3 yards out for the score, and then ran for the extra points. The Wolfpack used a big play of their own, a 62-yard pass play to set up their go-ahead score. Freshman fullback Carlos King bulled in from 11 yards away and State was down 28-21.

1999 PEACH BOWL

#15 MISSISSIPPI STATE 17 CLEMSON 7 December 30, 1999 • The Georgia Dome • Atlanta, Ga.

Behind the impetus that had been the key all season — defense — Mississippi State downed Clemson 17-7 in the 1999 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in Atlanta’s Georgia Dome. The win gave State its 10th victory of the season, grouping the ‘99 Bulldogs with MSU’s ‘40 edition which also posted 10 victories. MSU notched the win despite allowing the most yardage it had all season (391), with 301 of that coming from quarterback Brandon Streeter who passed 50 times in the game. Defense was the norm in the first half for both squads as the teams played to a scoreless tie at halftime.The closest either team got to a score in the first half was when Clemson advanced to State’s 9-yard line late in the first quarter. But Tiger Tony Lazzara’s field goal attempt was blocked by Bulldog senior Robert Bean, who registered his seventh career blocked kick. State wasted little time breaking the scoring ice in the second half. After Pig Prather returned the opening kickoff after intermission 45 yards to the MSU 47-yard line, the Bulldogs drove 31 yards on seven plays to set up a 39-yard field goal from Scott Westerfield at the 12:39 mark. Three possessions later, Clemson threatened to answer, driving to the State 13 where it faced a fourth-and-7. The Tigers elected to go for it, but the MSU defense held firm, with defensive lineman John Hilliard batting down a Streeter pass. The quarter would end with State leading 3-0. The fourth quarter would be quite a different story in terms of point production, as the teams combined for three touchdowns in the final frame. State extended its lead to 10-0 on the first full drive of the final period, going 43 yards on 10 plays with quarterback Wayne Madkin scrambling for a 2-yard score.

2000 INDEPENDENCE BOWL

MISSISSIPPI STATE 43 TEXAS A&M 41 (OT) December 31, 2000 • Independence Bowl • Shreveport, La.

Willie Blade blocked an extra point, Julius Griffith ran it to the end zone for a two-point conversion, and Wayne Madkin scored from 6 yards out — all in overtime — to give Mississippi State a hard-fought, 43-41 decision over Texas A&M in the snow-filled Independence Bowl. The Aggies took advantage of a couple of early MSU miscues on the snow-covered field to take a 14-0 edge seven minutes into the game. After scoring following a mishandled MSU snap just over two minutes into the contest, A&M continued to control momentum on fullback Ja’Mar Toombs’ 4-yard plunge. Toombs had a game-high 193 yards. Jackie Sherrill’s Bulldogs fought back in the second quarter. With Toombs running through the State defense, Dontae Walker returned the favor to the Aggie stoppers, tallying 143 yards of his own. The sophomore took a handoff up the middle and scurried for 40 of those yards over the goal line to cut the lead. With just over a minute until halftime, State scored behind Wayne Madkin. After the junior quarterback rushed for 10 yards, he connected on two pass plays, the second a four-yard score to Dicenzo Miller to tie the game at 14. A&M bounced back with 31 seconds left in the half to take a 20-14 lead into the locker room. Quarterback Mark Farris lofted a ball high and deep into the heavy falling snow, finding Robert Ferguson on a 42-yard score. The Aggies tried to put the game out of reach with two fourth-quarter touchdowns. On the opening play of the period, Farris once again went deep, this time connecting with Bethel Johnson on a 35-yard strike. A two-point conversion put the Aggies up 28-21. Toombs extended the lead on the following possession, rushing in from 13 yards to give A&M a 35-21 edge. Walker cut the lead back to seven as he rushed in from 32 yards out, and, after a Marco Minor interception put MSU at the Aggie 4-yard line, Madkin found tight end Donald Lee in the end zone for the touchdown that sent the game into overtime, tied 35-35. In the extra session, Toombs rushed in from 25 yards out on the first play to put A&M up 41-35. Blade reached up and blocked the Aggie extra point try. Eugene Clinton picked up the loose ball and pitched to Griffith who ran it in for two points. Faced with a must-score situation on State’s first overtime try, Madkin rushed

2007 LIBERTY BOWL

MISSISSIPPI STATE 10 UCF 3 December 29, 2007 • Liberty Bowl Stadium • Memphis, Tenn.

Mississippi State cashed in on Central Florida’s fourth turnover of the game, marching to the lone touchdown of the day late in the fourth quarter, to defeat the Knights 10-3 in the 49th renewal of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, a game that was otherwise very defensive in nature. With the win, MSU ended the 2007 season at 8-5, its most wins since 2000, and improved to 2-0 all-time over UCF which ended the year 10-4 after winning its last seven games and claiming the Conference USA crown. The Bulldogs also improved to 7-6 all-time in bowl games with the victory and has now been victorious its last three bowl appearances. The late score, a 1-yard plunge by running back Anthony Dixon, came with just 1:54 remaining in the game. It capped a 10-play, 59-yard drive, State’s longest of the day by almost 20 yards, that was setup by Bulldog Keith Fitzhugh’s interception of Knight quarterback Kyle Israel, his third throwing miscue of the contest. But until that point in the game, neither team had generated much offense in a game very much controlled by the defenses. Only two second quarter field goals one by each team - graced the scoreboard in the first three quarters and the teams would combined for just 418 yards of total offense in the affair. After a scoreless first quarter started the lowest scoring first half in Liberty Bowl history, UCF finally broke scoring ice after gaining excellent field position at the Bulldog 46 early in the second period. The Knights then moved the ball 18 yards to set up a Michael Torres 45-yard field goal that just cleared the crossbar. UCF led 3-0 with 11:49 to go before the intermission. After the Knights forced a State punt on the next drive, the Bulldogs got their first break of the afternoon. MSU’s Derek Pegues, named the game’s Most Valuable

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.

2011 GATOR BOWL

#21 MISSISSIPPI STATE 52 MICHIGAN 14 January 1, 2011 • EverBank Field • Jacksonville, Fla.

It was an offensive clinic from start to finish for Mississippi State, as the Bulldogs manufactured 485 total yards en route to a dominating 52-14 win against Michigan in the 66th annual Gator Bowl at EverBank Field. Mississippi State set several school bowl records with points scored (52) and margin of victory (38). In addition, the 485 total yards of offense were second only to the 499 gained against North Carolina in the 1974 Sun Bowl. Chris Relf, named the game’s MVP, completed 18 of his 23 passes for 281 yards and three touchdowns. The 281 passing yards were the second most in MSU bowl history. They are also the only two quarterbacks to throw for more than 200 yards in a bowl game. Relf, a junior from Montgomery, Ala., also scored on the ground from 1-yard out and finished with 311 total yards. As prolific as MSU’s offense was, so too was the defense. The Bulldogs held the Wolverines (7-6) to 342 yards, with 153 coming in the opening quarter. Michigan did enjoy a 14-10 lead after the first frame, but failed to score another point the remainder of the game. Quarterback Denard Robinson was limited to a season-low 51 yards after grounding out 59 in the first quarter. Robinson’s arm produced the game’s first points when he connected with Roy Roundtree for a 10-yard scoring strike. MSU quickly answered, though, and evened the score when Relf hit Arceto Clark from 4 yards out. On their next possession, the Bulldogs took their first lead at 10-7 on a 42-yard field goal by Derek DePasquale. Back came the Wolverines, however, who went back on top following a 27-yard touchdown pass from Robinson to Martavious Odoms. That play, though, would be Michigan’s last highlight of the game. From that point, it was all Mississippi State. With 11:38 left in the first half, Vick Ballard scored the first of his three touchdowns to give MSU a 17-14 lead. Then with 6:35 remaining, Relf found the end zone to extend the advantage to 24-14. But the Bulldogs weren’t done, as they scored again with 25 seconds left, this time on a 15-yard pass from Relf to Ricco Sanders, his first-career TD reception, for a 31-14 lead. In the second half, the Bulldogs, who converted 9 of their 17 third-down attempts and were 5 of 5 on fourth down, got two more touchdowns from Ballard covering 1 and 7 yards. Ballard finished the year with 19 rushing touchdowns, breaking the single-season mark of 16 set by Jackie Parker in 1952. MSU’s final points were the result of a 31-yard pass from Relf to Michael Carr, the first touchdown of the freshman’s career.

2013 GATOR BOWL

MISSISSIPPI STATE 20 #20 NORTHWESTERN 34 January 1, 2013 • EverBank Field • Jacksonville, Fla.

The No. 20 Northwestern Wildcats (10-3) downed the Mississippi State Bulldogs (9-5) 34-20 in the TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl.

Northwestern wasted no time getting on the board when Quentin Williams

returned a Tyler Russell interception 29 yards just 47 seconds into the game. Jeff Budzien added a pair of field goals on the Wildcats next two drives from 34 and 37 yards, respectively. The Bulldog defense then stopped the Northwestern offense on back-to-back drives leading to MSU’s first points of the day. Devon Bell got the scoring going with a 27-yard field goal. After MSU forced a three-and-out, Russell connected with Arceto Clark for an 18-yard touchdown and sent State to the locker room only trailing by three. Nickoe Whitley stopped Northwestern’s first drive of the second half with the first of his two interceptions on the day. Three minutes later, Bell tied his career-long with a 47-yard field goal to square the game at 13 apiece. The Wildcats quickly retook the lead with a six-play, 76-yard drive that only took 1:12 off the clock and then added another touchdown with 1:35 left in the third quarter to take 27-13 lead into the final stanza. MSU tacked on another touchdown when Russell floated a pass to Malcolm Johnson in center of the endzone just 3:18 into the fourth quarter. The MSU defense forced another three-and-out on Northwestern’s next drive but, Russell’s fourth interception of the day was returned 44 yards to the five yard line. The Wildcats punched in their final touchdown to secure the win. Josh Robinson finished the game as State’s leading rusher with 91 yards on seven carries. Junior LaDarius Perkins added 85 yards on 19 carries. Clark finished with three catches for 36 yards and a touchdown, while Johnson hauled in two catches for 24 yards and a score. Chad Bumphis also grabbed three catches for 18 yards in his final game as a Bulldog. Russell completed 12-of-28 for 106 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions.

Capital One Orange Bowl at Sun Life Stadium. It was the Bulldogs’ first appearance in the contest in 73 years, capping a 10-win season. A turnover on MSU’s first possession led to a Tech touchdown, setting the tone for the rest of the evening. Both teams combined for nearly 1,200 total yards with most of State’s coming through the air and nearly all of Tech’s on the ground. MSU junior quarterback Dak Prescott set several records over the course of the evening, throwing for over 400 yards and becoming the all-time record Bulldog holder for yards in a career at MSU, surpassing Don Smith.
