QUARTERBACKS LETTERMEN RETURNING (2): Dak Prescott (Sr.), Damian Williams (Jr.) LETTERMEN LOST (0) KEY 2014 REDSHIRTS (2): Nick Fitzgerald (RFr.), Elijah Staley (RFr.) STARTERS RETURNING (1): Dak Prescott (Sr.) STARTERS LOST (0) NOTABLES: • Dak Prescott, a finalist for the 2014 Davey O’Brien Award, returns as the SEC’s top quarterback. • Two talented redshirt freshmen are waiting in the wings in Nick Fitzgerald (6-6, 227) and Elijah Staley (6-5, 248).

NOTABLES: • Despite the departures of Jameon Lewis and Robert Johnson, MSU will be as deep as it has been in years at wide receiver • Billy Gonzales’ wide receivers accounted for 2,608 yards last season and 81.1 percent of that returns to the roster in 2015 • Prior to last season, only five times in program history did the Bulldogs produce multiple 100-yard receivers in a game. Then for the first time since 2010, they did it twice last season. • The Bulldogs had three 100-yard receivers in the same game for the first time in school history when Joe Morrow (6/117), De’Runnya Wilson (9/105) and Fred Ross (6/102) achived the feat in the Orange Bowl against Georgia Tech. All three of those standouts return in 2015 • January enrollees Donald Gray (5-10, 193) and Malik Dear (5-9, 220) could make an immediate impact. Gray was a Junior College AllAmerican last season with 989 yards.

Head Coach Seventh Season @CoachDanMullen

2014 NATIONAL COACH OF THE YEAR 2014 AP SEC COACH OF THE YEAR

o 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 begins 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. On Dec. 10, 2008, Mullen officially became the 32nd head coach in State history, taking over a program that posted a 21-42 record in its 63 previous games. Since his first season of 2009, the 43-year-old has completely changed the culture in Starkville, developing a winning attitude both on and off the field, connecting with a fan base that has come out in record numbers and cementing a recruiting prowess in the state of Mississippi.

2012 RESULTS (8-5, 4-4 SEC)

Six years into his tenure, Mullen (46-31, .597) owns the highest winning percentage as a State coach since the late Allyn McKeen from 1939-48 (.764), and he is third in school history in victories (46). 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 five consecutive bowl games, including their first Orange Bowl berth in 73 years in December 2014. 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. 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 shined in the Egg Bowl (4-2), owning the second-highest winning percentage (.667) against Ole Miss. 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 entered Sept. 20 at eighth-ranked LSU just outside the polls. Following a dazzling display by quarterback Dak Prescott, MSU recorded its first victory in Tiger Stadium since 1991. 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). Prescott delivered the finest season by an MSU signal caller in school history and finished higher in the Heisman Trophy vote than any MSU player by taking eighth in December 2014. Prescott continued a long line of Mullen developed quarterbacks that includes Alex Smith and Tim Tebow. MSU has shattered 67 team or individual single-season and career statistical records under Mullen. The Bulldogs have also produced a first-team All-America selection in five straight 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. Furthermore, MSU’s five-week stretch at No. 1 united a town and brought college football’s epi-

center to Starkville. Following a renovation and expansion completed in August 2014, Davis Wade Stadium has become one of college football’s most difficult venues for an opposing team. Mullen has made winning a priority at home as the Bulldogs will carry an eight-game home streak into 2015. The top 20 attended games in Davis Wade Stadium history have all occurred in the Mullen era. In 2013, MSU showed constant improvement and went on an inspiring three-game winning streak to close the 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. Mullen ignited the Bulldogs to a nine-win season in just his second year, 2010, and then another successful season in 2011. 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-SEC 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 most since 2000 at the time. Mullen’s first season concluded with a rousing 4127 victory over MSU’s in-state rival, which brought

RECORD GRADE POINT AVERAGES

While embarking on one of the greatest seasons in Mississippi State history, the Bulldogs shined in the classroom as well, posting a 2.76 cumulative grade point average in the fall of 2014. The GPA was a school record, supassing the previous high of 2.72 in the spring of 2008. In addition, 23 members of the 2014 squad earned their academic degrees, including 19 of them prior to the Orange Bowl in December. Five of the six MSU players selected in the 2015 NFL Draft have graduated.

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. 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 Maxwell 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 AllSEC 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 AP 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.

2015 MISSISSIPPI STATE FOOTBALL

| COACHING STAFF | HEAD COACH DAN MULLEN

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. 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. 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. Mullen has helped the program improve its NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) nearly every year in his tenure, including the SEC’s fourth-best football APR with a score of 974 in 2013. 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. 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 $275,000 for charity in the last three years. The foundation has impacted the lives of 36 different children’s charities throughout the state of Mississippi. Mullen has also been an advocate for improving childhood education, most recently addressing hundreds of students at the Metro Jackson Kids Fair in the spring of 2015 on the values of hard work.

| COACHING STAFF | MANNY DIAZ

MANNY DIAZ Defensive Coordinator/ Linebackers Second season at MSU @Coach_MannyDiaz

Manny Diaz, a nine-year veteran defensive coordinator who spearheaded Louisiana Tech into one of the nation’s elite units in 2014, makes his triumphant return to Starkville in 2015. Diaz takes over the Mississippi State defense and linebackers for the second time in his career. He was officially hired on Jan. 5, 2015, and his return has been well received by the players after going through spring practice. Diaz brings an impressive resume to Starkville that includes over 15 years of collegiate experience and 13 bowl appearances. In addition to resurrecting Louisiana Tech this past season, the 40-year-old was the leader of one of the all-time great defenses in Mississippi State history. As defensive coordinator of the Bulldogs in 2010, he coached 10 players who eventually signed NFL contracts, including six who were in the 2015 NFL Playoffs. All four of the former MSU linebackers currently on NFL rosters were coached by Diaz. Diaz’ one season in Ruston was felt in a big way, mainly by opposing teams’ offenses. In 2014, Louisiana Tech led the nation in turnovers gained (40) with 15 fumble recoveries and 25 interceptions. The Bulldogs also managed to force at least three turnovers in eight of their 14 games played. Diaz led Tech to nine top 25 defensive rankings nationally. Diaz helped Louisiana Tech double its win total from the previous year, as well as make the program’s first appearance in a Conference USA Championship Game on Dec. 6 opposite Marshall after clinching the C-USA West Division the week prior. The Bulldogs finished the 2014 campaign with nine wins after a 35-18 victory over Illinois in the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl at the Cotton Bowl. Diaz coached seven all-conference selections for the Bulldogs on the defensive side of the ball with Xavier Woods earning first team accolades followed by Houston Bates with second team honors. Tony Johnson, Terrell Pinson, Kentrell Brice, Adairius Barnes and Le’Vander Liggins each earned All-C-USA Honorable Mention under Diaz’ guidance. Diaz’ unit was the fourth most-improved in the country. Overall, Louisiana Tech ranked 63rd in the nation in total defense in 2013 prior to his arrival, allowing an average of 408.2 yards per game. Diaz spent nearly three seasons as defensive coordinator at Texas prior to his stint at Louisiana Tech. In 2012, he guided a squad that allowed just 212.0 passing yards per game, despite playing in a Big 12 that featured five of the nation’s top 10 passing offenses, while also leading the conference in both sacks and tackles for losses. With the loss of both DE Jackson Jeffcoat and LB Jordan Hicks to injury, the unit steadily improved throughout the second half of the season, especially as Diaz’s young linebacking unit was able to gain experience. Safety Kenny Vaccaro earned All-America honors, while defensive end Alex Okafor was named first-team All-Big 12. Both were selected in the 2013 NFL Draft with Vaccaro in the first round and Okafor in the fourth. During his first season at Texas in 2011, Diaz led the top defense in the Big 12 as the Longhorns ranked first in the conference in total defense, rushing defense and pass defense. Overall the unit ranked 11th nationally in total defense and was sixth against the run despite facing six offenses that ranked in the top 15 nationally. All 12 opponents were held to below their average total yards with eight managing more than 100 yards below the average and two over 200 yards less. Emmanuel Acho was a first team All-Big 12 selection and Keenan Robinson was a Butkus Award semifinalist. Acho and Robinson were both selected in the 2012 NFL Draft. In 2010 with Mississippi State, Diaz guided a defense that ranked 22nd in the nation in scoring defense (19.9 ppg), 17th in rushing defense (214.9 ypg) and 17th in tackles for loss (7.0 pg). That was a dramatic turnaround for MSU from the season prior to his arrival. In 2009, the defense finished 71st in scoring defense, 62nd in rushing defense and 89th in tackles for loss. MSU also finished ranked 13th in redzone defense (.730) and 22nd in turnovers forced (28) nationally in 2010. The 2010 defense held seven opponents to 20 points or fewer, while four players were selected in the NFL Draft that spring including K.J. Wright (Seattle), Pernell McPhee (Baltimore) and Chris White (Buffalo). Wright has since blossomed into one

The Bulldogs finished ranked No. 15/17, its highest final ranking since 1999 (No. 13/12). Prior to Mississippi State, Diaz spent four seasons as defensive coordinator at MTSU. Diaz also coached linebackers for two years after mentoring the safeties during his first two years. In four years under Diaz, the Middle Tennessee defense led its conference in sacks and tackles for loss twice, and finished no lower than third in the league in either category during his tenure. In 2009, the Blue Raiders finished second nationally in tackles for loss, stopping more than eight and a half plays per game behind the line of scrimmage. Diaz’s defense also ranked sixth nationally in sacks that season, posting nearly three per game. Also in 2009, Diaz tutored defensive end Chris McCoy who was tabbed the Sun Belt Conference co-Defensive Player of the Year. Overall, Diaz’s unit produced 17 all-conference players during his time there and put up three of the top four fewest yards allowed averages at Middle Tennessee in its FBS era. Before joining Middle Tennessee, Diaz played a major role for one of the country’s top-ranked defenses by coaching safeties in 2004-05 and handling the linebackers in 2002-03 for NC State. In 2005, the Wolfpack finished eighth nationally in total defense, sixth in thirddown percentage, and 12th in scoring defense en route to a 7-5 record and a shutout win over South Florida in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. Diaz spent the 2000 and 2001 seasons at NCSU as a graduate assistant working primarily with the linebackers. During that time, the Wolfpack went to two bowl games and became the first ACC team to beat FSU in Tallahassee. Diaz began his coaching career at Florida State in 1998, working alongside defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews for two seasons. During his stint, the Seminoles won a national championship in 1999 and were national runners-up in 1998. He worked at ESPN from 1995 to 1997 after earning his B.S. in communications from FSU, and in high school, he was a Miami Herald Honorable Mention All-Dade County Scholar-Athlete for football, basketball and baseball in 1991. The Miami native is married to the former Stephanie Cerow and they have three sons, Colin, Gavin, and Manny.

| COACHING STAFF | BILLY GONZALES

BILLY GONZALES Co-Offensive Coordinator/ Passing Game/Wide Receivers Third 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 in addition to his wide receiver coaching duties in February 2014. In two seasons under Gonzales, the Bulldog wideout corps have shattered school records and become one of the deepest units in the Southeastern Conference. Having coached nine 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. In his first season as co-offensive coordinator in 2014, Gonzales was an instrumental part of an offense that broke 15 MSU single-season team records, including total offensive yards (6,679), yards per play (6.7), per game offense (513.8 ypg), points (480), offensive touchdowns (60), receiving yards (3,649) and receiving touchdowns (31). Part of the Bulldogs’ 2014 success was demonstrated by Gonzales’ development of depth at wide receiver. MSU led the nation in number of players with a receiving touchdown on the year (12), while 16 different players caught multiple passes. Sophomore wide receiver De’Runnya Wilson became a household name with 680 receiving yards and a nation-leading five touchdowns on third down. Prior to 2014, only five times in program history did the Bulldogs produce multiple 100-yard receivers in a game. Then for the first time since 2010, they did it twice under Gonzales’ watch. MSU produced three 100-yard receivers in the same game for the first time when Joe Morrow (6/117), Wilson (9/105) and Fred Ross (6/102) achieved the feat in the Orange Bowl. It was the Bulldogs’ first appearance in the game in 73 years, capping a season that saw the program reach No. 1 for the first time in school history. Gonzales made an immediate impact in his first season in 2013 with the Bulldogs as junior wideout Jameon Lewis developed into one of the SEC’s elite slot 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 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 are current standout wide receivers for the New York Giants. 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. Gonzales got his first full-time coaching position in Division I in 1997 when he accepted a job at Kent State. During his four-year coaching stint with the Golden Flashes, he coached running backs for his opening season followed by three years as the wide receivers coach. As running backs coach, he led Astron Whatley to three AllMAC selections. 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 letterwinner 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.

THE HEVESY FILE

JOHN HEVESY Co-Offensive Coordinator/ Running Game/Offensive Line Seventh season at MSU @CoachHevesy No one can argue with the results put up by John Hevesy’s group during his first six years as the Bulldogs’ run game coordinator and offensive line coach. In 2014, Hevesy took over co-offensive coordinator duties in addition to overseeing the offensive line and what resulted was the most prolific offense in Mississippi State history. The Bulldogs celebrated the first 10-win regular season in program history in 2014 while reaching the Orange Bowl for the first time since 1941. During the season, the Maroon and White reached No. 1 in the polls for the first time and were atop the inaugural College Football Playoff rankings. MSU’s offense shattered 15 single-season team records, including total offense (6,679), points (480), touchdowns (60) and first downs (334) last season. The Bulldogs also were among the nation’s top 25 teams in fewest tackles for loss allowed. MSU led the Southeastern Conference in total offense for the first time since 1982, putting up a school-record 513.8 yards per game. That figure ranked eighth nationally. Auburn was the next closest with 485.0 yards per contest. The Bulldogs were also third in the league in rushing offense, tallying over 233 yards per game on the ground. Hevesy’s guidance has produced a first-team All-SEC offensive lineman for MSU in four out of the last five years. Senior Ben Beckwith recorded the fourth All-America honor in five years for an MSU offensive lineman after a tremendous 2014 campaign. Under Hevesy’s tutelage, Beckwith went from walk-on to first-team All-SEC in his final season, while also being the program’s first finalist for the Burlsworth Trophy. Beckwith became the league’s only three-time SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week in 2014. He showed his versatility by playing multiple positions on the line at times during the year. In 2013, senior guard Gabe Jackson, a once three-star high school recruit, became a first-team All-American and a first-team All-SEC recipient. He was selected in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders where he started as a rookie. The promising Jackson has been called as a future Pro Bowler by NFL analysts. 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. 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 just finished his third season with the Green Bay Packers and signed a contract with the Kansas City Chiefs in December 2014. 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 coached in four BCS bowls prior to MSU, 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 his 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,

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. A three-year starter on the offensive line at the University of Maine from 1991-93, Hevesy is married to the former Kelli Rogers. The couple has three children: Jack, Taylor and Madison.

A Mississippi native with a wealth of experience coaching in his home state, Tony Hughes oversees 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 is known as one of the top recruiting coordinators in the nation on an annual basis. 247Sports.com tabbed him as one of America’s top 10 recruiters in 2015 after Mississippi State hauled in one of the nation’s top 16 classes according to recruiting services. According to Rivals.com, the 22 National Letters of Intent MSU received on 2015 National Signing Day made up the Bulldogs’ best class since 2003. MSU hauled in five of Mississippi’s top six players, including Nos. 1 (safety Jamal Peters of Bassfield) and 2 (linebacker Leo Lewis of Brookhaven). Fifteen of the signees hailed from the state of Mississippi. In addition, Hughes has a knack for identifying players in the state of Mississippi that leave Mississippi State as five-star NFL prospects. First-team All-America linebacker Benardrick McKinney was once a two-star high school quarterback in Tunica, Miss., before being drafted by the Houston Texans in 2015. Hughes has developed MSU’s safeties corps into one of the Southeastern Conference’s hardest-hitting units. Following a 2014 Orange Bowl season, two of Hughes’ safeties signed NFL free agent contracts, including his son, Jay. 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. 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 MSU 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.

BRIAN JOHNSON Quarterbacks Second season at MSU @BDJohnson3

Brian Johnson, the winningest quarterback in Utah history and former offensive coordinator for the Utes, enters his second season as quarterbacks coach at Mississippi State. Johnson, 28, reunited with his former coach Dan Mullen in February 2014. Johnson, then a high school quarterback in Texas, first met Mullen at age 16 during a recruiting visit to Utah. In his first season in Starkville, Johnson helped develop Dak Prescott into the most prolific quarterback in school history. Prescott became the first player ever at MSU to be named a finalist for the Davey O’Brien Award presented to college football’s top signal caller. In 2014, Prescott shattered 12 MSU individual single-season records, including total offense (4,435), touchdowns responsible (41), passing completions (244), completion percentage (.616), passing yards (3,449), passing touchdowns (27) and passing efficiency (151.7). Prescott was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference selection and finished eighth in the Heisman Trophy voting. In addition, Johnson helped form the SEC’s top offense in 2014 as MSU led the league in total offense for the first time since 1982, averaging a school-record 513.8 yards per game. The Bulldogs broke 14 team single-season records en route to the Orange Bowl, including total offense (6,679), points (480), offensive touchdowns (60), first downs (334), passing yards (3,649), completions (261) and passing touchdowns (31). Prior to his arrival at MSU, Johnson spent 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.

GREG KNOX Defensive Backs/Special Teams Coordinator Seventh 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 four starting running backs to the NFL. Knox added a new title to his SEC resume in the spring of 2014 as special teams coordinator. He enters his seventh season on coach Dan Mullen’s staff after producing a 1,000-yard rusher in four out of the last six years. All four of those backs are currently on NFL rosters. Josh Robinson, a once three-star high school recruit, became Knox’ latest success story. In 2014, Robinson earned second-team All-SEC honors and ranked third in the SEC in rushing yards. His 1,203 yards on the ground ranked third in school history while his 11 rushing scores tied for ninth in MSU annals. Robinson’s 1,573 all-purpose yards ended up second in school history. Knox helped Robinson – in his first season as a starter -- develop into one of the league’s most dazzling playmakers and one of the nation’s toughest after-contact runners. The Bulldogs’ ground attack catapulted the program to just its third 10-win season in school history, its first-ever No. 1 national ranking and its first appearance in the Orange Bowl in 73 years. In May 2014, Robinson became the third MSU running back to be taken in the NFL Draft since 2010 when the Indianapolis Colts called his number in the sixth round with pick No. 205. He joins one of Knox’ protégé in Vick Ballard in Indianapolis. In 2013, LaDarius Perkins capped his career as the fifth-leading rusher in school history with 2,554 career yards. 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. Ballard burst onto the scene and broke the 58-yearold 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 13 postseason bowl games, Knox helped lead the Auburn offense to the top of the SEC in scoring in both 2004 and 2005. 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 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 recep-

In three seasons on the Lumberjacks’ staff as the receivers and special teams coach, Knox helped a program that had won only three games in the previous two seasons to the 1993 FCS playoffs and a top-25 ranking the following season.

SCOTT SALLACH Tight Ends Seventh season at MSU @CoachSallach

Scott Sallach heads into his seventh season as tight ends coach on the Mississippi State staff. Sallach was hired in 2009 by his former teammate, head coach Dan Mullen, after spending the previous 11 seasons in the Ivy League. From 2011-14, Sallach coached Malcolm Johnson, who finished his Bulldog career as one of the most productive tight ends in school history. Johnson caught 79 passes for 1,148 yards and 10 touchdowns in his 45 career games. Johnson, a freshman All-Southeastern Conference selection in 2011, finished tied for second on the team in touchdowns and managed a team-high 18.7 yards per catch during his rookie year. He was a second-team All-SEC selection as a junior after racking up 390 yards receiving in 2013. Johnson’s leadership as a team captain in 2014 helped propel the Bulldogs to just the third 10-win season in program history and a berth in the Orange Bowl for the first time in 73 years. A constant threat, Johnson accumulated 380 receiving yards on the year and served as a powerful blocker. Thanks to Sallach’s guidance, Johnson became the first State tight end since Donald Lee in 2003 to be selected in the NFL Draft. The Cleveland Browns called Johnson’s number with the No. 195 overall pick in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. He became the highest Bulldog ever to be selected by the Browns. In 2012, with Johnson sidelined for the first half of the year, Sallach developed Marcus Green’s game, with the redshirt senior finishing with a career-high six touchdowns. Green’s six scores placed him in the SEC’s 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. In his first season of 2009, Green finished second on the team with 27 receptions for 306 yards. A veteran of more than 19 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’s coached in five bowl games. He added the title of passing game coordinator prior to the 2008 season at Princeton. 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 all-time receivers at Princeton, and in his six seasons coached nine all-league 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 all-time 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. Sallach graduated from Ursinus College in 1994 with a bachelor’s of science degree in exercise and sport science. Sallach is married to his wife Lindi. The couple has one daughter, Tyler Elizabeth.

With over 20 years playing elite-level football, Deshea Townsend begins his third 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. Despite a rash of injuries in the secondary in 2014, the Bulldogs led the nation in passes broken up (73), passes defended (89), passes defended per game (6.85), and they were third in the Southeastern Conference and 15th nationally in interceptions with 15. In Townsend’s second year as a collegiate coach, MSU achieved a number of firsts, including winning 10 regular season games and spending five straight weeks atop the national polls. Townsend has turned veterans Taveze Calhoun and Will Redmond into lockdown corners. They promise to be one of the SEC’s top tandems in 2015. Redmond has been projected as one of the top future pro cornerback prospects heading into the fall. In 2013, Townsend spearheaded one of the top cornerback units in the SEC. 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. Starters Jamerson Love and Calhoun registered three picks apiece. 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. Born and raised not far from Starkville in Batesville, Miss., Townsend was a member of national-power South Panola High School, helping put the program on the map. He accumulated 1,800 yards with 18 touchdowns offensively while leading the Tigers to the 5A state championship game during his senior season in 1992.

THE TURNER FILE

DAVID TURNER Defensive Line Sixth season at MSU @CoachDT48

Widely regarded as one of the top defensive line coaches in the nation, David Turner begins his sixth season on Dan Mullen’s staff in Starkville after making his return in 2013. Turner coached the Bulldog defensive line from 2007-09 before going on to a three-year stint at Kentucky. A veteran of 29 years as a collegiate coach with 14 seasons of experience in the Southeastern Conference, Turner mentored current NFL standouts Fletcher Cox, Kyle Love, Pernell McPhee, Josh Boyd and most recently Preston Smith. Cox was ranked among the NFL’s top 10 best defensive players by NFL.com in December 2014, while McPhee signed a $40 million deal with the Chicago Bears in March 2015 as one of the league’s top pass rushers. Turner’s 2014 squad was one of the most dominant in school history, tallying 37 sacks – the third-most in school annals and the most overall since 1996 – and 85 tackles for loss. The 37 sacks ranked second in the SEC and among the top 20 nationally. MSU’s bend-but-don’t-break defense led the nation in the redzone, allowing only 19 touchdowns on 44 attempts (63.64 percent). Individually, few nationally were better than the senior Smith, who concluded his career with first-team All-SEC honors and became the only player in SEC history to be named the league’s Defensive Lineman of the Week for three consecutive weeks (Sept. 1, 8 and 15, 2014). Smith finished among MSU’s all-time top 10 in both sacks (ninth, 16) and tackles for loss (sixth, 27). Smith, a once three-star recruit, developed into a disruptive force on the line under Turner’s guidance. As a senior, he ranked sixth in the SEC in sacks (nine) and fifth in tackles for loss (15), both of which ranked among the top six single-season marks in school history. Smith’s banner year was capped when he became the second-highest drafted Bulldog defensive lineman since 1983. Only Cox – another Turner protégé -- went higher when he was taken in the 2012 first round by the Philadelphia Eagles. Smith was the Bulldogs’ highest drafted player in 2015, going No. 38 overall to the Washington Redskins in the second round. Another Turner standout, Kaleb Eulls, concluded his career at MSU in 2014 after being a rock-solid starter at defensive tackle for four seasons. Eulls signed a contract with the New Orleans Saints in May 2015. In 2013, the Bulldogs ranked fourth in rushing defense in the nation’s toughest conference, allowing only 144 yards per game. 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

Court came to Starkville after serving as the associate director of strength and conditioning for football on Mickey Marotti’s staff at Ohio State since January 2012. During his tenure, the Buckeyes combined for 24 victories, including a perfect 12-0 record and No. 3 national ranking in 2012. Court coordinates the strength and conditioning of all 15 of the Bulldogs’ varsity sports. He officially joined the staff on Jan. 15, 2014. In his first season, Court’s mottos ‘leave nothing to chance’ and ‘durability is more important than ability’ developed a winning mindset among the 2014 Bulldogs. MSU proved to be one of the fittest and most physical football teams in the country, reaching the No. 1 ranking for the first time and winning 10 regular season games while playing in the rigorous Southeastern Conference. Court’s intense offseason program along with the hiring of a nutritionist and expansion of the weight room has lifted the student-athlete experience at MSU. Court was no stranger to running a strength and conditioning department with four years of director experience. He spent the 2011 season as the director of strength and conditioning at San Diego State where he helped the Aztecs to an 8-5 record and a berth in the New Orleans Bowl. Prior to his position at SDSU, Court was the director of football strength and conditioning for two years at the University of Toledo from 2009-10. During his final season at Toledo, the Rockets went 8-5 and reached the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. In 2008, Court capped a six-year tenure at Bowling Green as strength and conditioning coach. He was an assistant on the Falcons’ staff for five years before being elevated to the head strength coach position. A native of Grosse Point Woods, Mich., Court attended and played baseball at Michigan State, lettering two years as a catcher for the Spartans and serving as a team captain in 2001. He interned for one year with the Michigan State strength and conditioning program and worked with three of the Spartans’ programs including football. He also interned in Major League Baseball strength training with the Detroit Tigers after graduating from Michigan State with his degree in kinesiology in 2002. Court earned in master’s degree in sports administration from Eastern Kentucky in 2003. Court and his wife Molly, who is from Greenville, Mich., have three children: daughter, Alix; son, Cade; and daughter, Tatum.

| COACHING STAFF | ROCKEY FELKER & JON CLARK

ROCKEY FELKER Director of Player Personnel/High School Relations 12th 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 the 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.

JON CLARK Assistant Athletic Director/ Football Operations Sixth season at MSU

Jon Clark, a veteran of 12 years in work surrounding football operations, came to Mississippi State after five seasons at the University of Florida, where he served as the director of football administration. Clark enters his sixth season with the Bulldog program working alongside head coach Dan Mullen. Clark oversees the administrative operations of the football department, including daily scheduling, budget, travel, office staff and other duties. Most recently, Clark has overseen the development and construction of the Leo Seal Complex, a $25 million football training and office facility that was opened in the spring of 2013. The all-encompassing football facility, approximately 80,000 square feet, includes a new weight room, locker

room, training room and coaches’ offices. Clark has played a role in the re-design of the new football practice fields. Prior to his stint at Florida, Clark served in the same role at the University of Utah in 2002 and 2003. He first worked with current Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer at Bowling Green where Clark was an undergraduate student manager prior to earning his bachelor’s degree in secondary education in May of 2002. After completing his education, Clark accepted a position as an administrative graduate assistant at BGSU. Clark is married to the former Caitlin Redlich, and the two had their first child, Cooper Hill Clark on June 9, 2015.

2014

THE YEAR OF THE BULLDOGS

In August 2014, nearly every preseason publication picked Mississippi State to finish last in the daunting Southeastern Conference Western Division. Head coach Dan Mullen’s squad had other ideas. After a trio of non-conference victories, the Bulldogs found themselves undefeated. Not until a Saturday night in LSU’s Death Valley did MSU take hold of the national spotlight for the remainder of the season. Visits from SEC Nation and College GameDay for the first time in program history really cranked things up, as did two more wins over SEC West foes. MSU became just the fifth team in college football history and the first since 1983 Auburn to defeat three straight Top-10 ranked teams:

No. 8 LSU, No. 6 Texas A&M and No. 2 Auburn. As a result of the historic three-game stretch, MSU went from unranked to No. 1 quicker than any team in college football history, ascending to the top spot in five weeks. An undefeated start through nine games had the Bulldogs at No. 1 in the first three weeks of the College Football Playoff poll. Sold-out electric crowds, national magazine covers and constant visits from ESPN put StarkVegas on the map. The Bulldogs won 10 regular season games for the first time in program history and capped off the year with their first Orange Bowl appearance in 73 years in the inaugural season of the New Year’s Six Bowl format.

AUGUST 30

The 2014 opener was a special one as it kicked off the 100th season of Scott Field at Davis Wade Stadium. In the summer prior, Davis Wade underwent a $75 million expansion and renovation that closed in the north endzone and took the capacity from 55,000 to over 61,000. The Bulldogs shut out Southern Miss, 49-0 as a record crowd of 61,889 looked on.

SEPTEMBER 20

MSU captured the national spotlight in grand fashion, with a 34-29 win at No. 8 LSU under the lights. It was the first win for the Bulldogs over the Bayou Bengals since 1999, the first such in Baton Rouge since 1991. Dak Prescott’s 56-yard touchdown run and now infamous stiffarm (pictured) contributed to his 373 total yards of offense.

Another top 10 team squared off against MSU and for the third-straight week, another top 10 team fell to the No. 3 Bulldogs, this time No. 2 Auburn, 38-23. A record crowd of 62,945 was on hand at Scott Field to watch MSU jump out front 21-0 and never look back. Prescott recorded his fourth game of the season with 200 yards passing and 100 yards rushing.

OCTOBER 4

Continuing their historic climb, the No. 12 Bulldogs hosted No. 6 Texas A&M in a battle of the unbeatens, but MSU would be the only one to escape unscathed. Three interceptions from linebacker Richie Brown helped MSU to a 48-31 win and the program to two wins over top 10 opponents in the same season for the first time in school history. For the Texas A&M game, SEC Nation originated from The Junction on the south side of Davis Wade. “The weekend in Starkville was one of the most electric and extraordinary I’ve ever experienced covering the Southeastern Conference. I have never seen anything quite like this in my 35 years of covering college football.” – Paul Finebaum (10.4.14)

For the matchup of top three teams, College GameDay was in The Junction for the first time ever. Former MSU pitcher Jonathan Papelbon was the guest picker. Lee Corso picked the Bulldogs by donning the head gear and MSU proved him to be right.

OCTOBER 12

Less than 24 hours after MSU became only the fifth school in college football history to win three-straight games against top 10 foes, the Bulldogs were voted No. 1 in the Associated Press Top 25. The five-week rise from unranked to No. 1 was the quickest jump of its kind in history.

The inaugural College Football Playoff rankings are released and MSU is No. 1, a position they would hold for five weeks. The Bulldogs appeared on the covers of Sports Illustrated and ESPN The Magazine for the first time in program history.

NOVEMBER 9

A commanding 45-16 win over UT Martin on Homecoming lifted MSU to 9-0, its best nine-game start in program history.

With a 51-0 win on Senior Night over Vanderbilt, the 2014 Bulldogs became the second team in program history to go 7-0 at home, matching the 1999 teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mark.

DECEMBER 31

No. 7 MSU takes the field against No. 12 Georgia Tech in the Capital One Orange Bowl. It was the first Orange Bowl appearance for State since 1941.

Dak Prescott fired a career-best four touchdowns and 286 yards as Mississippi State pitched its first shutout since 1999 in a 49-0 win over Southern Miss in the season-opener at Davis Wade Stadium. Prescott twice connected with De’Runnya Wilson for scores, including a 25-yard strike on the Bulldogs’ first drive. Prescott also found Fred Ross twice for touchdowns highlighted by a 35-yarder that put MSU up 21-0 with 4:15 left in the first half. The Bulldogs led 28-0 at the half and immediately increased the lead to 35-0 on Wilson’s second TD catch with 10:52 left in the third quarter. Preston Smith, who picked off his first career pass in the first half, then preserved the shutout as the senior blocked a 30-yard field goal attempt late in the third quarter. The block was scooped up by Jay Hughes, who raced 68 yards for a touchdown to put MSU up 42-0. Ross caught his second TD pass from backup quarterback Damian Williams on the game’s final score. The Bulldogs held USM to 2.2 yards per carry. Kendrick Market and Christian Holmes led MSU in tackles with six apiece. Chris Jones, Nelson Adams and Quadry Antoine each registered a sack. Hughes, playing his first game since the 2013 opener after suffering an injury, also picked off his first career pass in the first half. It was the first meeting between the two in-state teams since 1990. It was also the first Saturday primetime game in SEC Network history.

Dak Prescott accounted for 373 yards of total offense, rushed for a touchdown and threw for two more to lead MSU to its first win over LSU in Baton Rouge since 1991 by a score of 34-29. The Bulldogs never trailed, jumping out to a 17-3 lead at the half. Prescott got MSU on the board in its first drive on a 9-yard touchdown pass to De’Runnya Wilson. Two possessions later, the Bulldogs went 98 yards, culminating with a Josh Robinson 3-yard TD run. Following a fumble recovery for a TD by LSU’s Danielle Hunter, Prescott quieted the crowd with a spectacular 56-yard TD scamper that put MSU up 24-10 with 12:44 remaining in the third quarter. The Bulldogs extended the lead when Prescott extended a play with his feet and found Jameon Lewis for a 74-yard TD pass down the sideline. LSU responded with 19 unanswered points in the final 12:34 and the Bulldogs held on for the win when Will Redmond intercepted a Hail Mary pass at the goal line as time expired. Robinson finished with a career-best 197 yards and one touchdown. Benardrick McKinney and Beniquez Brown led MSU with seven tackles apiece.

Dak Prescott threw two touchdown passes, added three Tim Tebow-style TD runs, and No. 12 Mississippi State overwhelmed No. 6 Texas A&M 48-31 in Davis Wade Stadium. For the first time in program history, the Bulldogs defeated back-to-back top-10 ranked teams. A&M’s Kenny Hill was picked off three times by Richie Brown, who tied the school record for interceptions. Two of the picks led to tochdowns. Prescott’s 2-yard bull rush in the third quarter made it 34-10. A&M blocked the point after kick and then responded with a touchdown by Speedy Noil to cut the lead to 34-17 with 3:33 left in the third. Just when it looked as if A&M might have some life, Mississippi State unleashed another Dak attack. Prescott zipped a deep out toward the sideline for Fred Brown, who slipped a tackler and went 51 yards for the score to make it 41-7. Josh Robinson went over 100 yards rushing for the third time this season and scored two first-quarter touchdowns. Will Redmond had a game-high 10 tackles, while Benardrick McKinney had nine tackles and one sack.

Dak Prescott ran for two touchdowns and threw for another to lead No. 3 Mississippi State over No. 2 Auburn 38-23 in arguably the biggest game in Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field history. He completed 18 of 34 passes for 246 yards while running for 121 yards. He also had lots of help. Josh Robinson ran for 97 yards and two touchdowns. De’Runnya Wilson caught four passes for 72 yards, including a 34-yard touchdown catch, and the Bulldogs defense bailed out the offense with red zone stops after turnovers. MSU jumped to a stunning 21-0 lead in the first nine minutes -- helped by two turnovers on Auburn’s first two offensive plays -- but the Tigers pulled within 28-20 in the third quarter. Auburn pulled within 28-20 on a 10-play, 99-yard touchdown drive midway through the third quarter. MSU went ahead 31-20 on a 21-yard field goal with 11:33 remaining. On the ensuing kickoff, Louis fumbled, and the Bulldogs recovered. Two plays later, Robinson ran for a 1-yard touchdown, and the celebration began in Starkville. Taveze Calhoun was the Bulldogs’ leading tackler with six.

Dak Prescott accounted for three touchdowns, Josh Robinson rushed for two TDs and No. 1 Mississippi State held on to beat Kentucky 45-31 in Commonwealth Stadium. Robinson’s 73-yard touchdown run early in the fourth for a 38-24 lead proved critical when Patrick Towles scored later in the quarter. His 12-yard TD run capped MSU’s 82-yard opening drive and set the stage for him to finish with 198 yards rushing on 23 carries. Prescott chipped in 216 yards passing and 88 yards rushing on 18 carries. But he had to work to complete 18 of 33 passes as Kentucky sacked him three times and intercepted him once. Prescott completed his first five passes for 56 yards to lead Mississippi State into Kentucky territory. But Prescott’s biggest play was recovering his own fumble at the Wildcats 13 after a 3-yard gain, extending the drive and setting up Robinson’s walk-in touchdown on the next play. Mississippi State scored 10 straight points, converting Braylon Heard’s fumble into Evan Sobiesk’s 26-yard field goal and Prescott added a 2-yard TD run. Christian Holmes returned an on-side kick 61 yards for a TD to put the game away in the final three minutes. Beniquez Brown was MSU’s leading tackler with eight tackles, while Kaleb Eulls registered two sacks.

Dak Prescott turned what looked like a broken play into a 69-yard touchdown pass to a wide open Fred Ross with 13:21 to play, and the top-ranked Bulldogs had their go-ahead touchdown in a 17-10 victory over Arkansas. Prescott threw for a career-high 331 yards and a touchdown to help Mississippi State claw out of an early 10-0 hole and win its 11th straight game dating to last season. Josh Robinson — the SEC’s leading rusher coming into the night — ran for just 64 yards, but caught six passes for a career-high 110 yards. Arkansas had two promising drives in the fourth quarter, but neither resulted in points. Will Redmond intercepted a pass in the end zone with 15 seconds left to end the Razorbacks’ final chance. Ross finished with a career-best 107 yards receiving on four catches. Arkansas was averaging 258.9 yards rushing in eight games, but managed just 163. Arkansas led 10-0 early in the second quarter on Adam McFain’s 36-yard field goal and Collins’ 1-yard touchdown run. The Razorbacks looked little like a team that hadn’t won an SEC game in two years, methodically moving the ball down the field. MSU struggled to get started. The Bulldogs had three turnovers in the first half. The Bulldogs finally broke through with Robinson’s 3-yard touchdown with 7:30 remaining in the second quarter to pull to 10-7. Prescott and Robinson combined for 35 yards rushing on the drive. Matt Wells was MSU’s leading tackler with nine, including one for a loss.

No. 1 MSU Streak Snapped at No. 3 Alabama, 25-20 Top-ranked MSU nearly erased a 19-point deficit but its rally fell short in a 2520 loss at No. 3 Alabama in Bryant-Denny Stadium. The setback was the first of the season for the Bulldogs, snapping the second-longest winning streak in school history (12) dating back to Nov. 2013. MSU out-gained the Tide offensively 428 yards to 335, but State’s three interceptions, including two in the end zone, proved to be the difference makers. Dak Prescott finished the game 27-of-48 for 290 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions, as well as 82 yards on the ground. De’Runnya Wilson, a nearby Birmingham native, caught a career-high eight passes for 81 yards. The Tide jumped out to a 19-0 lead, tackling Josh Robinson in the endzone for a safety and then producing two touchdown drives in the second quarter. Evan Sobiesk connected for two field goals and Prescott engineered a quick 38-yard drive that was capped with a Fred Ross touchdown pass with 14:16 to play in the game. The Tide answered with a back-breaking 15-play, 76-yard drive that chewed up 6:07 on the clock. It resulted in a T.J. Yeldon 7-yard touchdown run. The Bulldogs produced a touchdown with 15 seconds left on a 4-yard pass from Prescott to Jameon Lewis, but Alabama recovered the ensuing onside kick to secure its seventh straight win in the series.

No. 4 Mississippi State cruised to a 51-0 victory over Vanderbilt at Davis Wade Stadium, jumping out to a 37-0 lead by halftime. It was the Bulldogs’ most lopsided victory over an SEC opponent since 1936. Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes and threw for another as the Bulldogs sent 18 seniors out with just the second 7-0 home record in school history. Prescott threw touchdown passes of 9, 27 and 14 yards and Christian Holmes ripped the ball out of Vanderbilt receiver Latevius Rayford’s hands before returning it 51 yards for a touchdown as the Bulldogs built a 37-0 lead by the break. MSU’s Josh Robinson ran for 63 yards on seven carries — all in the first half. Joe Morrow caught five passes for 79 yards and two touchdowns. Eleven Mississippi State receivers caught at least one pass. Holmes finished with seven tackles, including one tackle for loss on his senior night. Richie Brown collected a team-best 10 tackles as MSU held Vanderbilt to 49 rushing yards, the fewest allowed to an SEC opponent since No. 7 LSU recorded 30 on Sept. 26, 2009.

No. 4 MSU Falls To No. 18 Ole Miss in Egg Bowl, 31-17 No. 4 Mississippi State fell to No. 18 Ole Miss by a score of 31-17 on the road at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, dropping the Egg Bowl for only the second time in Dan Mullen’s six years. State’s defense gave up 532 yards to the Rebels, including 327 passing yards, an average of 23.4 yards per completion. Offensively, MSU struggled to get going in the first half and found rhythm too late in the second half, ultimately totaling 445 yards, despite only scoring 17. Despite the loss, MSU did have bright spots on offense as sophomore receivers De’Runnya Wilson recorded a 100-yard receiving game, while Fred Ross came up just short with 98 yards on five receptions. Wilson caught eight passes for 117 yards and a score. Sophomore tailback Ashton Shumpert had a breakout performance as the running back averaged 6.8 yards per carry as he got the ball often down the stretch, gaining 68 yards on 10 carries. Prescott quietly completed 22-of-37 passes for 282 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed for 48 yards and a score, accounting for 330 total yards in the contest.

No. 7 MSU Falls To No. 12 Georgia Tech, 49-34, in Capital One Orange Bowl On New Year’s Eve, Mississippi State fell to Georgia Tech 49-34 in the 2014 Capital One Orange Bowl at Sun Life Stadium. A turnover on MSU’s first possession led to a Tech touchdown, setting the tone for the rest of the evening, as that gave the Jackets a lead they never lost. It was an offensive showcase, as 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. Dak Prescott set several records over the course of the evening, throwing for over 400 yards and becoming the Bulldog alltime record holder for yards in a career at MSU, surpassing Don Smith. He also set the MSU single-game record for total offense with exactly 500 yards against Tech, 453 coming through the air. However, while the Bulldog offense was able to move the ball, the defense was unable to stop the Yellow Jacket triple-option attack, giving up over 400 yards on the ground.

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 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.

“Those polite Mississippians ditch the Southern hospitality in favor of sadism, transforming their stadium into a torture chamber. They ceaselessly pound upon your eardrums. The high-volume video board functions as a waterboard. Then the fans add one more layer of sound by howling hysterically for four hours. On football Saturdays in 2014, with a dream of a team to cheer for, it is an ear-splitting slice of hell for the visiting team. Of all the intimidating venues in America, I cannot imagine a single more oppressive place than previously sleepy Davis Wade Stadium.” – Pat Forde, Yahoo.com (10.11.14)

“Want to know what a revolution sounds like? Between the third and fourth quarter, Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” blares through the stadium speakers. The throng rings cowbells to the beat, creating a deafening roar as they try to hold on to the feeling.” – Pete Thamel, Sports Illustrated (10.10.14)

“Mississippi State was truly incredible. If I was to rank the SEC Nation shows and experiences this year, Mississippi State is No. 1. You cannot find a square inch of open grass (in the Junction). The loudest fans we have heard so far in college football this year.” – Joe Tessitore, SEC Network (10.23.14)

“The weekend in Starkville was one of the most electric and extraordinary I’ve ever experienced covering the Southeastern Conference. I have never seen anything quite like this in my 35 years of covering college football. We could spend the rest of our lives trying to top that show.” – Paul Finebaum, SEC Network, on the Oct. 4 SEC Nation Show

“Las Vegas is great but there isn’t any place like StarkVegas right now. My man Dan (Mullen) has StarkVegas shoes.” - Jim Rome, Jim Rome Show (10.15.14)

“The loudest game I have ever attended – start to finish – even postgame. You haven’t lived until you’ve heard ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ with accompaniment from 50,000 cowbells.” – Stewart Mandel, Fox Sports (10.11.14) “The environment Saturday at Davis Wade Stadium was as electric as any college sporting event you’re ever going to find. It was the loudest stadium I’ve ever been in and it wasn’t just the cowbells. It was an awesome environment all the way around and great people.” – Chris Low, ESPN.com (10.11.14) “The combination of the big-game atmosphere with the clanging of the cowbells created a raucous environment that rivals that of any stadium in any sport.” – Barrett Sallee, Bleacher Report (10.13.14)

“It was the most awe-inspiring effort by an SEC fan base in memory. They didn’t just watch some amazing things happen Saturday in their own Dawg Pound. They helped make them happen. They didn’t just ring responsibly. They celebrated responsibly, too. They didn’t just help make a difference. They helped make a statement. A Mississippi State-ment. The Bulldogs are setting the pace on and off the field these days. Let’s hope that what happened in Stark Vegas doesn’t stay in Stark Vegas. College football would be better for it if other fan bases followed their lead.” – Kevin Scarbinsky, AL.com (10.14.14) “Poor you. You spent Saturday somewhere other than Mississippi. I’m sorry. You didn’t get goose bumps from a late-morning Starkville din so loud it seemed set to jar loose the Mississippi-Alabama borderline and hurl it nearer Tuscaloosa.” – Chuck Culpepper, Washington Post (10.5.14)

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 2015 riding an eightgame home winning streak. In 2014, the Bulldogs tied the single-season school record for home victories, posting a 7-0 mark en route to the program’s first No. 1 national ranking. 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 101-yearold historic facility (the nation’s second-oldest Division I-A campus football stadium) has undergone five renovation and expansion projects during its history. The first game at Scott Field came with an MSU win over Marion (Ala.) Military Institute, 54-0, on Oct. 3, 1914. More than $100 million in football projects have been initiated in the last few years. Of that figure, $75 million of it went towards the nationally-praised 2014 Davis Wade expansion. The latest addition of note was the expansion of the north end zone 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.

MSU opened the 2014 season against Southern Miss in a 49-0 win and 61,889 people were on hand to see the dynamically improved Davis Wade Stadium.

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 new area became a fan favorite during the 2014 season. Following all seven of the Bulldogs’ home wins, the team sang the alma mater and then took a victory lap in front of The Gridiron. 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 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.

The new North End Zone and Gridiron Club were part of a $75 million Davis Wade Stadium expansion completed in 2014 that increased capacity by over 6,000.

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. 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 six seasons. In fact, the last 10 years have seen the largest cumulative totals in the stadium’s 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 then the highest ever for a six-game schedule at the venue. State fans broke the school record for total atten-

dance 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. During the memorable 2014 campaign, the first in the new expansion, MSU set attendance records for single-season total attendance (427,892), single-game average attendance (61,127) and single-game attendance (62,945). The 2014 Bulldogs also tied the school record for home wins as their 7-0 mark matched the 1999 team. The seven home victories also helped State to the first 10-win regular season in program history. National media have proclaimed the new north end zone expansion has arguably made Davis Wade Stadium the noisiest from start to finish in college football. A sea of maroon and white in The Junction turned out for the first-ever SEC Nation broadcast in Starkville on the SEC Network prior to State’s thumping of Texas A&M on Oct. 4. One week later, ESPN College GameDay made its first appearance in Starkville on Oct. 11 as No. 3 MSU battled No. 2 Auburn in a matchup of the highest ranked teams in the stadium’s history. ESPN personality Lee Corso donned a Bulldog mascot head to a roar from the crowd. Hours later, MSU topped Auburn, 38-23, before a record crowd of 62,945 in the loudest game in school history. The victory ascended the program to its first No. 1 national ranking. 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. Entering the 2015 season, a total of 9,027,247 Bulldog fans have entered the turnstiles at Davis Wade Stadium since 1970. Fans have been out in full force for the Maroon and White in Starkville as 37 of the last 40 games in Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field have been sellouts. On the heels of the stadium expansion and the most successful regular season in program history in 2014, MSU set a school record in the summer of 2015 for single-season ticket sales for the second-straight year and the third time in four years.

On Oct. 11, 2014, No. 3 MSU hosted No. 2 Auburn and set a Davis Wade Stadium attendance record of 62,945 as the Bulldogs downed the Tigers, 38-23, with ESPN’s College GameDay on hand for the first time.

PACKED HOUSE

1986 – A $7.2 million expansion occurs, adding 9,000 seats to Scott Field’s west side, including a 5,500-seat upper deck, 1,700 chairback seats extending from the stadium’s original structure, and another 1,000 chairbacks flanking the press box. Two 1,700-seat sections are also added to the west side stands, bringing total capacity to 40,656. 1999 – Plans are announced for the largest expansion project in stadium history. A $30-million effort, backed largely by longtime MSU supporter Davis Wade, will add an estimated 10,500 seats and 50 luxury skyboxes, bringing total capacity to approximately 55,000 by the 2002 season. The new stadium, when completed, is renamed Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field. 2005 – Permanent end zone seating replaces temporary bleacher seating at the north end of the stadium, bringing official capacity to 55,082. 2012 - Construction begins on a $75-million expansion of the north end zone and the renovation of the west side concourse, bringing official capacity to 61,337 by the start of the 2014 season. 2014 - In a 49-0 win over Southern Miss on Saturday, Aug. 30, MSU celebrates 100 years of Scott Field and officially opens the new north end zone expansion before a record crowd of 61,889. The record would later be broken that season when Auburn came to town.

188

Last season, MSU celebrated 100 years of Scott Field in conjunction with the expansion and renovation of Davis Wade Stadium, which was originally built in 1914.

| THIS IS MSU | MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY

THE UNIVERSITY Mississippi State is a comprehensive doctoral-degree-granting institution offering a diverse student body a wide range of opportunities and challenges for learning and growth. The largest university in the Magnolia State, MSU has a statewide enrollment of more than 21,000 students. and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Calleges to award baccalaureate, masters, specialists and doctorate degrees. Established in 1878 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Mississippi, the university has traditional strengths in engineering and scientific agriculture but has evolved into a comprehensive institution with a diverse array of programs in teaching, research, and service. The University began as The Agricultural and Mechanical College of the State of Mississippi, one of the national Land-Grant Colleges established after Congress had passed the Morrill Act in 1862. It was created by the Mississippi Legislature on February 28, 1878, to fulfill the mission of offering training in “agriculture, horticulture and the mechanical arts . . . without excluding other scientific and classical studies, including military tactics.” The College received its first students in the fall of 1880 in the presidency of Confederate General Stephen D. Lee. In 1887 Congress passed the Hatch Act, which provided for the establishment of the Agricultural Experiment Station in 1888. Two other pieces of federal legislation provided funds for extending the mission of the College: in 1914, the Smith-Lever Act called for “instruction in practical agriculture and home economics to persons not attendant or resident,” thus creating the state-wide effort which led to Extension offices in every county in the State; and, in 1917, the Smith-Hughes Act provided for the training of teachers in vocational education. By 1932, when the Legislature renamed the College as Mississippi State College, it consisted of the Agricultural Experiment Station (1887), the College of Engineering (1902), the College of Agriculture (1903), the School of Industrial Pedagogy (1909), the School of General Science (1911), the College of Business and Industry (1915), the Mississippi Agricultural Extension Service (1915), and the Division of Continuing Education, (1919). Further, in 1926 the College had received its first accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. By 1958, when the Legislature again renamed the College, as Mississippi State University, the Office of Graduate Studies had been organized (1936), doctoral degree programs had begun (1951), the School of Forest Resources had been established (1954), and the College of Arts and Sciences had been created (1956). The College of Architecture admitted its first students in 1973. The College of Veterinary Medicine admitted its first class in 1977, and the School of Accountancy was established in 1979.

Mississippi State ranks among the top 100 institutions across the country in the number of bachelor’s degrees awarded to African-Americans. Over the last decade, five MSU professors have been named Mississippi Professor of the Year by the National Council for Advancement and Support of Education and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. As a national leader in engineering, MSU will begin offering the state’s only petroleum engineering degree program this fall. The Federal Aviation Administration has selected MSU to operate a new National Center of Excellence for Unmanned Aircraft Systems. MSU’s Maroon Volunteer Center connects nearly 5,000 students, faculty and staff volunteers to 60 community and campus pertners, performing more than 14,700 community service hours each year. One of the world’s leading aerospace companies, Boening Co., has selected MSU to host its Stitched Resin Infused Composite Research Center.

ACADEMICS AND STUDENT LIFE Mississippi State students consistently earn honors such as the prestigious Harry S. Truman Scholarship, awarded for those who will enter public service, and, with 16 Truman Scholars to date, the university has been recognized as one of 38 Truman Honor Institution. Recently initiated programs are providing opportunities to develop leadership potential and global study options. The university’s Global Leadership Continuum provides “cradle-to-CEO” programming designed to develop leadership across a “global” spectrum that begins with high school and continues through the university experience and into professional life. Included are the Young Guns Leadership Camp for rising high school seniors; the Day One Leadership Community for incoming freshmen, focusing on shared academic and service experiences; and the highly competitive Appalachian Leadership Honors Program for sophomores and juniors. To complement these efforts, the university has launched a minor in leadership studies open to students in all majors. A university honor code adopted in 2007 institutionalizes a campus culture of integrity and personal responsibility in academic studies. Through the Global Leadership Program, students may experience significantly expanded study abroad opportunities.

JACK CRISTIL, 1925-2014 Jacob Sanford “Jack” Cristil, the beloved former sports broadcaster of six decades of Mississippi State University athletics, died Sunday, Sept. 7, 2014 at the age of 88 at Sanctuary Hospice House in Tupelo of complications from kidney disease and cancer after an extended illness. Cristil, who served MSU from 1953 to 2011, was known throughout the South as “the Voice of the Bulldogs.” With a 58-year association with MSU, Cristil was the second-longest tenured college radio play-by-play announcer in the nation at the time of his 2011 retirement due to health problems. During his legendary career as the voice of the Bulldogs, Cristil called 636 football games since 1953, or roughly 60 percent of every football game played in the history of the institution. He was in his 54th season as the men’s basketball playby-play voice, having described the action of almost 55 percent of all the men’s basketball games played at the school. In all, Cristil delivered game descriptions to Mississippi State fans across the Magnolia State and around the world for more than 1,500 collegiate contests. A winner of numerous broadcasting laurels during his career, Cristil was most recently presented the Lindsey Nelson Award, given annually to the nation’s premier sports broadcaster. He was honored with the prestigious College Football Foundation Chris Schenkel Award in 1997 for excellence in college sports broadcasting. Nelson and Schenkel were longtime national award-winning broadcasters. In 1992, Cristil received the Ronald Reagan Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Association of Sportscasters and Sportswriters. That same year, he was also the first non-coach/non-athlete to ever be inducted into the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame. Cristil was inducted into the Mississippi State Sports Hall of Fame in 2003. A winner of the Mississippi Sportscaster of the Year Award a record 21 times, Cristil was named the Southeastern Conference’s Broadcaster of the Year in 1988.

| THIS IS MSU | HISTORY OF BULLDOGS

THE BULLDOGS Mississippi 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 ‘bulldog’ 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 half-mile 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.

BULLY XXI At Super Bulldog Weekend 2015 this past April, the Bulldog family celebrated the passing of the harness, as Bully XXI, known as “Jak,” accepted mascot duties from his father Bully XX, fondly called “Champ.” Jak’s formal name is “Cristil’s Golden Prince,” and the American Kennel Club registered English Bulldog was born in October 2014, soon after the legendary Jack Cristil passed away. Naming the newest Bully for the legendary Voice of the Bulldogs who called football and basketball games for 58 years was a fitting choice. While Jak enters the 2015 season less than a year old, Champ turns 10 around the 2015 season opener. When mascot handlers realized Bully was getting toward retiring age, though he’s still in good health, a female bulldog was selected based on her pedigree and history. Following the female’s selection, litter of mascot-sired puppies were evaluated. Jak’s responsibilities will be similar to those of previous mascots, she said.

| THIS IS MSU | THE COWBELL/SONGS OF MSU

THE COWBELL

MAROON & WHITE

The 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 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.

SONGS OF MSU 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. CHORUS: Maroon and White! Maroon and White! Of thee with joy we sing; Thy colors bright, our souls delight; With praise our voices ring.

“Hail State” Hail dear ole State! Fight for that victory today. Hit that line and tote that ball, Cross the goal before you fall! And then we’ll yell, yell, yell, yell! For dear ole State we’ll yell like H-E-L-L! Fight for Mis-sis-sip-pi State. Win the game today!

| 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. Dr. Keenum has guided Mississippi State to unprecedented heights during his sixyear tenure. The university has experienced record enrollment growth to more than 20,000 students. The freshman class of fall 2014 was almost 3,000, and the average ACT score for 2014 was a record 24.4. During 2011-12, Mississippi State awarded more than 4,000 degrees at all levels for the first time in its history, and followed that with 4,222 degrees in 2014-15. The campus has expanded and improved on Keenum’s watch. Major renovations of historic Lee Hall and Davis Wade Stadium were completed by August 2014. Construction of a new classroom building with built-in parking and a Fresh Foods concept cafeteria began in 2014. In 2015, construction is under way on two new residence halls, the new G.V. “Sonny” Montgomery Center for America’s Veterans, a Wise Center classroom building, and an expansion of Mitchell Memorial Library is set to begin this fall. Since 2009, fundraising has reached all-time record levels, with private giving exceeding $80 million a year in fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013 and grew to $108.8 million in fiscal year 2014. In fall 2013, the university formally announced Infinite Impact: the Campaign for Mississippi State with a goal of $600 million by 2018. To date, more than $530 million of that goal had been met. 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. Mississippi State has strengthened its role as the flagship research university in the state. The most recent research success has been MSU’s designation as the Federal Aviation Administration’s National Center of Excellence in Unmanned Aerial Systems and Boeing’s decision to locate a composite research center at MSU’s Raspet Flight Lab. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching classifies 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. Keenum has also been appointed vice chairman of the Foundation for Food and Agricultural Research by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Thomas J. Vilsack. In 2015, Keenum was named to the College Football Playoff ’s (CFP) Board of Managers and elected vice president of the Southeastern Conference. He remains a member of the SEC Executive Committee and continues to serve on the SEC’s Content Committee that oversees the SEC Network. 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, D.C. and was Under Secretary of the U.S. 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 member of the Northeast Tigers football team. Dr. Keenum is married to the former Rhonda Newman of Booneville, also an MSU graduate. They have four children: Rett, Mary Phillips, Katie and Torie.

| THIS IS MSU | DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS SCOTT STRICKLIN

SCOTT STRICKLIN DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Now in his third decade in intercollegiate athletics, Director of Athletics Scott Stricklin has overseen a wave of momentum within the Mississippi State fan base during his tenure. From his first day on the job in May 2010, Stricklin, with a focus on the student-athlete, a commitment to great integrity, and a dedication to promoting MSU aggressively, has facilitated a stretch of unparalleled Bulldog success. With an investment of over $130 million in facilities, a strong roster of successful coaches, and significant increases in Bulldog Club membership and donations, MSU Athletics has achieved its highest-ever Learfield Director’s Cup finish while consistently seeing the majority of its teams compete in post-season championships. In an era that has seen 30-consecutive sellouts at Davis Wade Stadium and impressive football facility enhancements, Coach Dan Mullen’s team has played in five-consecutive bowl games, while the Bulldogs spent five-straight weeks in 2014 ranked No. 1 in the polls for the first time in school history. The sports of tennis, baseball, basketball, softball, men’s and women’s golf and track and field have each excelled and advanced to NCAA postseason play under Stricklin’s leadership. During the 2014-15 academic year, 11 Mississippi State sports advanced to NCAA postseason play, with eight earning Top 25 rankings during the season, while the women’s golf team ascended all the way to No. 1 in the fall. The year was capped by AllAmerican Rhianwedd Price winning the 1500-meter run at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Oregon, one year after Brandon McBride claimed the crown in the 800-meter run and two years removed from the baseball team playing for the national championship in Omaha. In addition, 2015 also saw two MSU coaches earn SEC Coach of the Year honors in Mullen and Vic Schaefer, who led the Bulldogs to a school record 27 wins en route to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. In the classroom, Bulldog students continue to excel. In the 2014-15 academic year, Mississippi State’s men and women athletes posted a combined GPA of 3.0, the highest in school history. Also in 2015, Bulldog students 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 were completed prior to the start of the 2014 campaign. The Davis Wade Stadium expansion and renovation pushed capacity to 61,337, making it the largest on campus football stadium in the state of Mississippi. In addition to innovative 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. In the spring 2015, a $6 million renovation began on both the tennis and softball complexes, while a $40 million upgrade to Dudy Noble Field is in the planning process. In addition, construction is nearly completed for the new $2.2 million Mississippi State Golf Center at Old Waverly, one of the South’s premier golf courses. The project includes a 6,300-square foot team clubhouse with locker rooms, players’ lounge, coaches’ offices and indoor putting center, along with a 2,431-square foot indoor hitting bay. Stricklin’s vision also drew attention when he announced the university is partnering with financial guru Dave Ramsey to help educate student-athletes in the area of personal finance. Ramsey’s “Foundations in Personal Finance College Edition” curriculum is now being incorporated into teaching MSU student-athletes the basics of finance. His attention to detail has also proven to be vital in the hiring process, as he received rave reviews with the hiring of men’s basketball coach Ben Howland, who comes to MSU after leading Northern Arizona, Pittsburgh and UCLA to the NCAA Tournament, including 3 straight Final Four appearances with the Bruins. In addition to engaging with Bulldog fans through personal interactions and social media, 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 has served as 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 has 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. In 1993, 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, 45, 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 CREDENTIALS

POSTGAME INTERVIEWS

Arrangements for media credentials for Mississippi State’s seven home football games in 2015 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 Bill Martin 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.

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 C on the west side of Davis Wade Stadium and take the media elevator to Level 2.

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 Media Will Call located at Gate C of Davis Wade Stadium. 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. 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. 8) NEW: Beginning in 2014 and going forward, photographers are required to kneel when shooting from the new north endzone of Davis Wade Stadium. Standing is not allowed because of the Gridiron fan seating in the endzone.

ETHERNET/WIRELESS INTERNET 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.

CollegePressBox.com CollegePressBox.com serves as a one-stop shot for all needs regarding college football. Members can access team headshots and download weekly game notes, quotes, statistics, media guides and more for the conference and each of its member schools throughout the season. Login information will be distributed to accredited media or by applying for password by sending an email to password@collegepressbox.com.

PHOTOGRAPHY WORKROOM The new photographers workroom in the Northwest portal of Davis Wade Stadium is for STILL photographers ONLY. Videographers are not permitted in the photo work room.

Hartley Press Box for members of the print media as well as booth accommodations for radio networks and originating telecasts.

2015 MISSISSIPPI STATE FOOTBALL

| MEDIA INFORMATION | RADIO/TELEVISION

BULLDOG RADIO 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 fifth 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 37th 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.
