Seven years into his tenure, Mullen (55-35, .611) owns the highest winning percentage as a State coach since the late College Football Hall of Famer Allyn McKeen from 1939-48 (.764), and he is third in school history in victories (55). Mullen’s winning percentage ranks second in school history among those who have coached six or more years. In an era of coaching transactions, Mullen has created stability and success at MSU while playing in college football’s toughest division, which has produced a national title game finalist in nine out of the last 10 years. He enters the 2016 season as the SEC’s third-longest tenured current head coach behind only LSU’s Les Miles (12th year) and Alabama’s Nick Saban (10th year). Mullen has produced three seasons of at least nine victories in the last six years, including the school’s first back-to-back nine-win seasons in 2014 and 2015. To put in perspective, there were only four nine-win seasons at State in the 109 years prior to Mullen’s arrival. Bowl games have become the norm at State under Mullen’s guidance. Prior to his arrival, the school record for consecutive bowl game appearances was three from 19982000. MSU is currently on a stretch of a school-record six straight bowl appearances with its most recent triumph coming against NC State in the 2015 Belk Bowl. No one has been to more bowl games (six) or won more bowl games (four) at MSU than Mullen. 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. On top of that, Mullen

has shined in the Egg Bowl, owning a 4-3 record against rival Ole Miss. In 2015, the Bulldogs celebrated another nine-win season highlighted by four road victories, a first since 1994. MSU put up a Belk Bowl record 569 yards of total offense to cap the year with a 51-28 win over NC State. Mullen’s offense was spectacular. For the first time since 1978, MSU produced a first-team All-SEC quarterback and wide receiver in the same season. The catalysts for success were senior Dak Prescott and junior Fred Ross. Ross became the first Bulldog to lead the SEC in receptions per game since 1978, shattering the single-season record for catches with 88. Prescott put the finishing touches on the greatest career in program history. A once three-star recruit, Mullen developed Prescott into a polished passer as a senior. He shattered 38 school records and became one of only four players in FBS history to throw for over 9,000 yards and rush for over 2,500 yards in a career. Only two players in SEC history have ever achieved the feat with another Mullen protégé being the other in Tim Tebow. 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 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 fi-

nalist 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 finished higher in the Heisman Trophy vote than any MSU player by taking eighth in December 2014. The Bulldogs have shattered 100 individual and team single-game, single-season and career statistical records under Mullen. MSU has also produced a first-team All-America selection in five out of the last six years. Meanwhile, the top six total offensive seasons in school history have all occurred in the Mullen era. Player development has been key in Mullen’s seven previous seasons. Twenty-one Bulldogs have been chosen in the NFL Draft under Mullen’s watch since 2010, including a combined eight in the last two years. Prescott became the highest drafted MSU quarterback in modern NFL Draft history, going in the 2016 fourth round to the Dallas Cowboys. He joined a long line of Mullen developed signal callers to be selected in the NFL Draft: Josh Harris (Bowling Green), Omar Jacobs (Bowling Green), Alex Smith (Utah) and Tim Tebow (Florida). MSU’s five draft picks 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. In the last six NFL Drafts, the Bulldogs have produced seven first- or second-round picks. In the eight drafts prior to Mullen’s arrival, MSU did not have any. Furthermore, MSU’s historic play has united a town and brought college football’s epicenter to Starkville the past two years. 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. The top 20 attended games in Davis Wade Stadium history have all occurred in the Mullen era. In 2015, the Bulldogs shattered the single-season total and average attendance records for the third-straight year. The program also eclipsed over 50,000 in season ticket sales for the first time. 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

BOSTON MARATHON MAN

Dan Mullen fulfilled a lifelong dream on April 18, 2016. Two days after coaching Mississippi State’s spring football game, he completed the 120th Boston Marathon in 4:28:35. In the process, Mullen raised over $60,000 for his Mullen 36 Family Foundation with proceeds going to children’s charities throughout Mississippi. Mullen, who grew up just over 50 miles from the finish line in Manchester, New Hampshire, raced 26.2 miles through the historic course and was greeted by Bulldog fans. bounced back a week later with their first victory ever at Arkansas. Then on a cold Thanksgiving night, Mullen continued his Egg Bowl success 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 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 41-27 victory over MSU’s in-state rival, which brought the Golden Egg back to Starkville. He became the only the third Mississippi State coach to win his Egg Bowl debut since 1939, joining 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 All-SEC selections following the season in which Mullen helped UF claim its second SEC Championship and a chance to play for its second national championship in three seasons. The Gator offense ranked first in the SEC in scoring offense and total offense for a second-straight season in 2008, averaging 45.2 points and 442.4 yards per game. Under Mullen’s tutelage in 2007, UF averaged 42.5 points and 457.2 yards. In 2007, Mullen directed the Gator offense to the third-highest point total ever by a UF unit and the top single-season marks for rushing touchdowns and third-down conversion percentage. Florida’s offense scored 75 touchdowns, second most in the SEC. Mullen orchestrated a UF attack that was the only one in the nation to have rushed for a touchdown and passed for a touchdown in every game during the season. He also helped UF score on 83-of-152 drives in 2007 for a leaguebest 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 topranked Ohio State squad that was limiting opponents to less than 11 points per game on the year. Under Mullen’s tutelage, quarterback Chris Leak opened the contest by going 9-for-9 for 99 yards and a touchdown en route to earning Offensive MVP honors. The 2006 Gator offense posted 76 plays of 20 yards or more, 19 of which went for touchdowns. Florida passed for 29 touchdowns in 2006, while Leak ranked among the national leaders with 23 scoring tosses. Tebow matched UF’s then single-season record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback with eight scores, and his 5.3 yards per carry average placed second nationally among signal callers. Six different players averaged at least 5.0 yards per carry. 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 firstteam 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 sixyear tenure at MSU, 135 players have earned the distinction of SEC Honor Roll recipient. State is tied for the SEC lead in number of National Football Foundation National Scholar-Athletes produced since 2010 with two. Mullen joined Taveze Calhoun in New York in December 2015 as the senior cornerback was chosen a finalist for the Campbell Trophy, the “Academic Heisman” considered the top academic award in all of college football. 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 $325,000 for charity in the last four years. The foundation has impacted the lives of 36 different children’s charities throughout the state of Mississippi and annually chooses a deserving student a college scholarship. Mullen crossed a bucket list item off in April 2016. Two days after coaching in the Bulldogs’ spring game, he received a sponsorship exemption through Adidas to run the 120th Boston Marathon, which he completed in 4:28:35. In the process, the Mullen 36 Family Foundation raised over $60,000 through race donations. An avid runner who grew up just over 50 miles from the finish line in Manchester, New Hampshire, he ran 26.2 miles through the historic course with several MSU fans cheering him on. In January 2016, Mullen was named to the American Football Coaches Association Board of Trustees.

Defensive Line First season at MSU @MSUCoachBaker

A 19-year NFL coaching veteran, Brian Baker begins his first season on the Mississippi State staff in charge of the defensive line in 2016. Baker joins the Bulldogs with 30 years of coaching experience to his credit. He’s coached eight Pro Bowlers, including the likes of DeMarcus Ware and Julius Peppers. He spent the 2014 season with the Redskins as outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan recorded a career-best 13.5 sacks under Baker’s tutelage. Prior to his year in Washington, he served as the Cleveland Browns’ outside linebackers coach, helping the Browns finish third in the AFC and ninth in the NFL in total defense (332.4 yards per game). Baker spent the 2011-12 seasons as the defensive line coach with the Dallas Cowboys. Under Baker, nose tackle Jay Ratliff earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2012. Baker also contributed to the Pro Bowl selections of linebackers DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer as part of his responsibilities overseeing the pass rush. Prior to his time in Dallas, Baker spent two seasons as the Carolina Panthers’ defensive line coach from 2009-10. In 2010, defensive end Charles Johnson led the Panthers with 11.5 sacks, tied for the fourth-most in the NFL. In 2009, defensive end Julius Peppers led the team with 10.5 sacks en route to a Pro Bowl selection. Baker coached the St. Louis Rams’ defensive line from 2006-08. In 2008, his unit notched 20 of the team’s 30 sacks. In 2006, defensive end Leonard Little tied for fifth in the league with 13.0 sacks, while defensive tackle La’Roi Glover finished sixth among NFC defensive tackles with 5.5 sacks. From 2001-05, Baker worked in various capacities for the Minnesota Vikings, serving as defensive line coach in 2001 and 2004-05 and as linebackers coach from 2002-03. He helped defensive tackle Kevin Williams earn his first of six Pro Bowl selections following the 2004 season. That season, Williams recorded a career-best 11.5 sacks and was selected to the AP All-Pro team. Along with Williams, defensive end Lance Johnstone totaled 11 sacks in 2004 to give the Vikings the third-most prolific sack duo in the league that year with 22.5. Baker was the Detroit Lions’ defensive line coach from 1997-2000, spearheading defensive linemen Robert Porcher (1997 and 1999) and Luther Elliss (1999 and 2000) to Pro Bowl selections. In 1999, Porcher registered 15 sacks, the most by any Lion in a single-season since sacks became official in 1982. Baker made his NFL coaching debut as the defensive line coach with the San Diego Chargers in 1996 after spending 12 years on the collegiate level. He had stints at Georgia Tech (1987-95), Army (1986) and Maryland (1984-85). The highlight of his nine years as linebackers coach at Georgia Tech came in 1990. The Yellow Jackets claimed the 1990 National Championship as the nation’s only unbeaten team with an 11-0-1 record. Tech defeated Nebraska 45–21 in the 1991 Citrus Bowl to complete the unbeaten season. A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Baker played outside linebacker at the University of Maryland from 1980-83 and helped the Terps win the Atlantic Coast Conference in 1983. After his playing career, he helped coach outside linebackers as a student coach and graduate assistant from 1984-85 and earned a degree in marketing in 1985. Baker and his wife, Nevada, have three daughters, Nicole, Jade and Jasmine.

TERRELL BUCKLEY Cornerbacks/ Recruiting Coordinator First season at MSU @27TBuck

A Mississippian through and through, Terrell Buckley returns to his home state in 2016 as Mississippi State’s cornerbacks coach and recruiting coordinator. Buckley, a 14-year NFL veteran, Super Bowl champion and former assistant coach at Louisville, was one of the most dynamic players in Mississippi history, guiding Pascagoula High School to a 1987 football state championship and undefeated season. He was inducted into the Pascagoula Athletic Hall of Fame in June 2015. He was born in Columbia, Mississippi, and spent most of his childhood in Gautier. Buckley spent the past two seasons coaching cornerbacks at Louisville and helping the Cardinals to back-to-back bowl appearances, including a Music City Bowl victory over Texas A&M in December. In both of Buckley’s seasons, Louisville was tops in the Atlantic Coast Conference in interceptions and turnovers gained. His two starting cornerbacks – Trumaine Johnson and Shaq Wiggins -- earned honorable mention All-ACC honors as sophomores. Despite a young secondary in 2015, Louisville ranked 14th nationally in interceptions with 14. The Cardinals also led the league in turnovers gained (26, 20th nationally) and were second in the ACC in passes defended (66, 30th nationally). In Buckley’s first season of 2014, Louisville boasted one of the elite secondary’s in all of college football. The Cardinals led the nation in interceptions with 26. As a unit, the squad ranked sixth nationally in total defense (308.5 ypg) and 11th nationally in turnovers gained (30). Buckley mentored corners Charles Gaines and Terell Floyd, both of whom inked NFL contracts following their collegiate careers. Prior to his stint at Louisville, Buckley was a member of Terry Bowden’s staff at Akron, coaching corners from 2012-13. Two of Buckley’s players - Micklos Blake and Bryce Cheek - earned academic honorable mention honors from the Mid-American Conference. Buckley got his coaching start after earning his undergraduate degree from Florida State in 2007. From 2008-11, he served in various assistant roles on Bobby Bowden and Jimbo Fisher’s staffs. A two-year starter and three-year letterwinner as a cornerback and return specialist at FSU (1989-91), he was inducted into the school’s sports hall of fame in 2003. He had his jersey No. 27 retired in 2011, and he is one of nine players in FSU history to earn that distinction. Buckley left FSU as the program’s all-time leader in interceptions (21) and interception return yards (501). He tied school records for touchdowns off interceptions (4) and punt returns (3). His interception return yardage still stands as an NCAA FBS record. He earned consensus All-America honors as a junior in 1991 and won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back. That same season, he finished seventh in the voting for the Heisman Trophy. Buckley was also a member of the Seminoles baseball team for two seasons (199091), playing outfield and second base, and was a sprinter on the outdoor track team (1991-92). He was picked fifth overall in the 1992 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers and spent the next 14 seasons in the league on six different teams (1992-2005). During his NFL career, Buckley amassed 50 interceptions. In 1996, Buckley led the league in interception return yards (164) and, as a rookie in 1992, set what remains a current record as the youngest player to return a punt for a touchdown (21 years, 105 days - Sept. 20, 1992, versus Cincinnati). Buckley had at least one interception in 13 consecutive NFL seasons. As a member of the New England Patriots in the 2001 AFC Championship game, he tallied an interception in a 24-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Two weeks later, he added a championship ring to his collection when the Patriots won Super Bowl XXXVI over the St. Louis Rams in New Orleans, not far from his hometown. Buckley has three daughters, Sherrell, Brianna and Britney. Sherrell is currently a member of the Florida State women’s golf team and FSU’s Student-Athlete Advisory Council.

THE GONZALES FILE

BILLY GONZALES Co-Offensive Coordinator/ Passing Game/Wide Receivers Fourth season at MSU @CoachBillyG

Records have fallen under the leadership of Billy Gonzales, who enters his fourth season on Dan Mullen’s staff in charge of wide receivers. Gonzales also begins his third year as co-offensive coordinator overseeing the passing game. 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. The results have been impressive as the 45-year-old has produced arguably the greatest three-year wide receiver stretch in Mississippi State history. The Bulldogs have recorded 14 100-yard receiving games in the last three seasons, including a school record seven in 2015. Four times in his tenure MSU has accounted for multiple 100-yard receiving games in the same contest, something that had only been done five times in program history prior to his arrival. In addition, the three highest team single-season receiving yard totals have all occurred on Gonzales’ watch. Twenty-five single-season total offense, receiving and passing records have been broken in that stretch. The Bulldogs shattered the school record for total receiving yards for the third straight year in 2015 with 4,113. The 2015 campaign was a special one as junior Fred Ross was selected first-team All-Southeastern Conference, becoming the first MSU player since all-time great Eric Moulds did so in 1995. Fellow junior De’Runnya Wilson earned a spot on the second-team All-SEC. Ross obliterated the school record for catches in a season with 88, a mark that also ranked seventh in SEC single-season annals. Ross also became the second 1,000-yard receiver in school history and became the first Bulldog to lead the SEC in receptions per game (6.8) since 1978. His five 100-yard receiving games were a school record. No one was better in the difficult month of November as Ross caught a nation-leading 41 passes. Wilson, meanwhile, finished his career second in MSU touchdown catches with 22. 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. Wilson became a household name with 680 receiving yards and a nation-leading five touchdowns on third down. MSU produced three 100-yard receivers in the same game for the first time when Joe Morrow (6/117), Wilson (9/105) and 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 AllSEC accolades respectively. Beckham is now one of the NFL’s elites. 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

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 All-MAC selections. As wide receivers coach, Gonzales tutored Eugene Baker to a third-team All-America 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 Eighth season at MSU @CoachHevesy The results put up by John Hevesy’s group during his first seven years as the Bulldogs’ run game coordinator and offensive line coach have been impressive. 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 top six single-season total offensive yard marks have all been set in Hevesy’s tenure on staff, including 5,986 yards during the 2015 season. The 2015 campaign saw the Bulldogs reach a bowl for a school-record sixth-straight year and cap a nine-win season with a 51-28 blowout of NC State in the Belk Bowl. It marked the first time in school history that MSU produced back-to-back seasons of at least nine victories. The Bulldogs ranked third in the Southeastern Conference in total offense, putting up 460.5 yards per game, a mark that also ranked among the top 30 nationally. The Bulldogs celebrated their 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). The Bulldogs also were among the nation’s top 25 teams in fewest tackles for loss allowed in 2014. MSU led the SEC 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 six 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 threetime 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 and in 2015. 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 spent four seasons in the NFL. Hevesy has worked with head coach Dan Mullen for over a decade and came to MSU 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 pechant 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,

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.

COACHING CAREER 2014-p: Mississippi State (Quarterbacks) 2013: Utah (Co-Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks) 2012: Utah (Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks) 2010-11: Utah (Quarterbacks)

Brian Johnson, the winningest quarterback in Utah history and former offensive coordinator for the Utes, enters his third season as quarterbacks coach at Mississippi State. Johnson, 29, 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 two seasons in Starkville, MSU has produced the two highest single-season passing totals in school history. Seventeen MSU single-game and single-season team total offense, scoring and passing records have fallen in that span. The catalyst for the record-setting success was Dak Prescott, who Johnson helped develop into the most decorated player in school history and a 2016 NFL Draft selection. Prescott shattered 38 school records (eight single-game, 15 single-season, 15 career) and became one of the greatest quarterbacks in Southeastern Conference history. He joined Tim Tebow as the only two SEC players to pass for 8,500 yards and rush for 2,000 yards in a career. Johnson worked closely with Prescott to polish his passing skills and what resulted in 2015 became history. A finalist for the Manning and Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Awards, Prescott shattered nine single-season records as a senior passer, including yards (3,793), completions (316), completion percentage (.662), efficiency (151.7) and 300-yard games (seven). The first two-time first-team All-SEC quarterback at MSU since 1956-57, the Dallas Cowboys called Prescott’s name with the No. 135 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. He became the highest drafted SEC quarterback since 2013. 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 finished eighth in the 2014 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

BOWL GAMES AS A COACH 2015: Belk Bowl (MSU) 2014: Orange Bowl (MSU) 2011: Sun Bowl (Utah) 2010: Las Vegas Bowl (Utah) BOWL GAMES AS A PLAYER 2009: Sugar Bowl (Utah - MVP) 2007: Poinsettia Bowl (Utah - MVP) 2006: Armed Forces Bowl (MSU) 2005: Emerald Bowl (Utah) 2005: Fiesta Bowl (Utah) game, implementing a game plan that allowed senior John White to net 1,041 yards and become the first Ute ever to produce back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. Utah led the Pac-12 in time of possession, holding the ball an average of 32:07 a game. As a player, Johnson was a three-year starter and a two-time bowl most valuable player. He set the school mark for victories by a starting quarterback, finishing his career with a 26-7 record. A finalist for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm and the Manning awards as a senior in 2008, Johnson captained Utah to the best record in school history (13-0) and a Sugar Bowl victory over Alabama. The Sugar Bowl MVP tossed for 336 yards and three touchdowns in leading the Utes to a dominant 31-17 win over the fourth-ranked Tide. For his career, Johnson threw for 7,853 yards and 57 touchdowns as well as running for 848 yards and 12 scores. He gained even more acclaim when EA Sports put him on the cover of its 2010 NCAA Football video game. Johnson and his wife, Ashley, are the proud parents of a baby girl, Rossi, born in June 2014.

Running Backs/Special Teams Coordinator Eighth 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, who has over 20 years of SEC coaching experience, added a new title to his resume in the spring of 2014 as special teams coordinator. He enters his eighth season on Dan Mullen’s staff after producing a 1,000-yard rusher in four out of the last seven years. All four of those backs reached the NFL. In 2015, Knox worked with junior Brandon Holloway, who was one of only three FBS players to record at least 400 rushing yards, 300 receiving yards and 500 kick return yards. Holloway cracked the MSU single-season top 10 for kickoff return yards with 567, including a school-record-tying 100-yarder in the season-opener at Southern Miss. Josh Robinson, a once three-star high school recruit, was another Knox 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. 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 former NFL standout, 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. Vick Ballard burst onto the scene and broke the 58-year-old school record for rushing touchdowns in a single season (19). Knox continued to coach Ballard for his senior season in 2011, when Ballard rewrote the school record book for running backs and went on to be drafted in the fifth round by the Indianapolis Colts in the 2012 NFL Draft. He was signed by the New Orleans Saints in 2016. 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 14 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 receptions, and Obomanu finished second in touchdown receptions.

Knox spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at Northeastern State and two at TCU before being named to the staff at Stephen F. Austin in 1992. 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. A native of Rosebud, Texas, Knox is married to the former Toralyn Foster, and the couple has three sons -- Gregory, Torian and Tyson.

Safeties First season at MSU @CoachMo15

Maurice Linguist enters his first season on Dan Mullen’s staff at Mississippi State. He will oversee the Bulldogs’ talented group of safeties. Linguist, 32, arrives in Starkville after serving two seasons as the defensive passing game coordinator at Iowa State (2014-15). In 2015, he mentored freshman cornerback Brian Peavy, who earned honorable mention All-Big 12 honors and was a finalist for Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year. Peavy led the Cyclones in tackles with 82 – second-among Big 12 freshmen – and he was tops among conference freshmen in passes defended with 12. That figure also ranked second nationally among FBS freshmen. Senior safety Qujuan Floyd was an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection on Linguist’s unit as well. In 2014, Linguist’s squad picked off 10 passes led by Sam E. Richardson’s four interceptions, which ranked 31st nationally. Although his unit was young, Linguist tutored a pair of underclassmen to AllBig 12 recognition in 2014. Free safety Kamari Cotton-Moya was named the Big 12’s Defensive Freshman of the Year and sophomore cornerback Nigel Tribune was a second-team All-Big 12 selection by the Associated Press. Cotton-Moya, who was a first-team freshman All-America pick by the FWAA, led the team in tackles with 77. Tribune ranked sixth nationally in pass breakups with 13. Linguist spent the previous two seasons as the defensive passing game coordinator at Buffalo (2012-13). Linquist was a key contributor in Buffalo’s 8-5 record, a second-place finish in the MAC East (6-2) and an appearance in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in 2013. The Bulls were solid on defense, especially in the secondary as they ranked second in the MAC with 15 interceptions. Buffalo was also second in the league in scoring defense (24.4) and total defense (382.8). One of Linguist’s star players was Najja Johnson, who earned first-team All-MAC honors at cornerback in 2013 after recording 38 career pass breakups, the second-best total in school history. In his first season at Buffalo (2012), Buffalo’s starting cornerbacks, Johnson and Cortney Lester, ranked first and second in the MAC in interceptions. Johnson had five and Lester had four. The Bulls led the MAC in opponent pass completion percentage (55.4) and ranked second in the conference in pass de-fense. Prior to his stint at Buffalo, Linguist spent three years at James Madison, coaching the safeties, and helping the Dukes to an 8-4 regular season record and a second round appearance in the NCAA FCS Playoffs. In addition, The Sports Network selected the James Madison 2012 recruiting class as the best in the nation (FCS). Linguist also served as defensive backs and special teams coach at Valdosta (Ga.) State, helping the pro-gram to a 9-3 record and a ranking of No. 12 in Division II in 2008. Linguist, a native of Mesquite, Texas, began his coaching career at his alma mater of Baylor, tutoring strong safeties and rover backs as a graduate assistant in 2007. As a senior at Baylor, he was the team’s defensive most valuable player as a strong safety, an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection and an academic All-Big 12 honoree. He started 24 of 42 career games for the Bears from 2003-06 and was a four-year letterwinner. He earned a bachelor’s degree in communica-tions (2006) and a master’s degree in health, human performance and recreation (2007) during his ten-ure at Baylor. Linguist and his wife, Stacie, were married in June of 2014.

Tight Ends Eighth season at MSU @CoachSallach

Scott Sallach heads into his eighth 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. Sallach has been a vital part of a staff that has helped MSU reach a school-record six straight bowl games and back-to-back seasons of at least nine victories for the first time in program history. Twenty team single-game and single-season school offensive records have been broken in his tenure. 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 and enjoyed an outstanding rookie season. 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.

PETER SIRMON Defensive Coordinator/ Linebackers First season at MSU @CoachSirmon

One of the rising defensive playcallers in the nation, former NFL linebacker Peter Sirmon enters his first season at Mississippi State as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. Sirmon, 39, arrives in Starkville after serving two seasons at Southern Cal as the associate head coach, recruiting coordinator and linebackers coach. He was the interim defensive coordinator during the Trojans’ 2015 Holiday Bowl against Wisconsin. In 2015, Sirmon’s guidance propelled outside linebacker Su’a Cravens to AllPac-12 first-team honors. Cravens was taken in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins. Inside linebacker Cameron Smith was selected as the Pac-12 Defensive Freshman of the Year in addition to being named a freshman All-American by USA Today. Smith was second nationally in interceptions by freshmen linebackers with three – all of which came in a 42-24 rout of No. 3 Utah on Oct. 25. Sirmon’s leadership in his two seasons as recruiting coordinator in Los Angeles helped the Trojans bring in the nation’s top signing class in 2015 according to Scout. com and the No. 10 signing class in 2014. USC inked 12 top-100 recruits in the winter of 2015. Prior to his stint at USC, Sirmon was the linebackers coach at Washington (201213), including recruiting coordinator in his final season of 2013. The Wenatchee, Washington, native coached eventual NFL first round draft choice Shaq Thompson during his All-Pac-12 honorable mention season as a sophomore. Thompson is now a starting linebacker for the Carolina Panthers. During Sirmon’s first season in Seattle, he mentored sophomore John Timu, an honorable mention All-Pac-12 selection and team captain. Timu signed a free agent contract with the Chicago Bears following the 2015 NFL Draft and was on the active roster during the season. Sirmon is no stranger to the Southeastern Conference. His first full-time FBS job was as the linebackers coach at Tennessee in 2011. He was a graduate assistant working with safeties during the Vols’ 2010 Music City Bowl campaign. Sirmon got his start in the coaching ranks in his home state as the linebackers coach at Central Washington in 2008. The Wildcats earned a top-five ranking in the polls with a 10-2 record and a spot in the NCAA Division II playoffs. Sirmon played seven NFL seasons at linebacker with the Tennessee Titans from 2000-06, starting 54 games and registering 343 career tackles. The Titans won two AFC South divisional titles and made three playoff appearances during his tenure. Sirmon was a fourth round pick in the 2000 NFL Draft after a standout career at Oregon. He started all four seasons (1996-99) and was selected to the Senior Bowl. A first-team All-Pac-10 selection as a senior, Sirmon was the squad’s leading tackler in 1997 and 1999. Sirmon received his bachelor’s degree in political science from Oregon in 1999. He prepped at Walla Walla (Wash.) High School. Sirmon and his wife, Lindsay, have four children: son Jackson and daughters Presley, Savanna and Sadie.

NICK SAVAGE Head Strength Coach Third season at MSU, first in head role

In 2016, Nick Savage enters his third season on the Mississippi football staff and first spearheading the Bulldogs’ strength and conditioning efforts. Savage spent the past two seasons as the assistant strength coach and earned rave reviews from the players and staff. Said head coach Dan Mullen, “he brings an infectious personality, energy and a purpose to our facility every day.” Savage was the interim head strength coach during December 2015 as MSU prepared for the Belk Bowl following the departure of Rick Court to Maryland. The Bulldogs defeated NC State 51-28 in Charlotte for their fourth bowl victory in the past six seasons. They never trailed, jumping out to a 14-0 lead after the first quarter. Savage worked exclusively with football since he joined Court’s MSU staff in May 2014. He’s been a part of the first back-to-back seasons of at least nine victories in program history. The 27-year-old has gained experience at four different FBS programs since January 2013. He interned at Bowling Green from January 2013-May 2013 and then at Ohio State from May 2013-January 2014. Savage worked with Court and renowned strength coach Mickey Marotti with the Buckeyes. Savage served as a graduate assistant at Toledo for five months before arriving in Starkville. He was instrumental in developing the Bulldogs into one of the nation’s fittest teams while serving as an assistant during the 2014 campaign that saw MSU spend five weeks atop the polls and earn its highest Associated Press poll finish since 1940 (No. 11). The Youngstown, Ohio, native earned his undergraduate degree in exercise science from Youngstown State in 2013. He is currently pursuing a master’s degree. Savage attended Boardman High School in Youngstown.

BRAD PETERSON Director of Player Personnel/High School Relations First season at MSU Brad Peterson, one of the most successful and respected high school coaches in the state of Mississippi, enters his first season as Mississippi State’s director of player personnel in 2016. Peterson returns to his alma mater after compiling a 148-70-1 record in 17 years as a high school coach. A two-time Mississippi Association of Coaches Class 3A Coach of the Year and the 2012 Class 6A Coach of the Year, Peterson has drastically improved each program he oversaw. Among Peterson’s primary responsibilities, he will help organize MSU’s on-campus recruiting efforts and serve as the director of all camps and clinics within the program. Peterson, 41, spent 2015 as the head football coach and athletic director at Madison Central, guiding the Jaguars to an appearance in the MHSAA Class 6A semifinals and increasing attendance. A year prior to his arrival, Madison Central failed to make the playoffs. From 2010-14, Peterson was instrumental in establishing Brandon High School as one of the state’s premier programs. He compiled a 50-18 record, including three straight 10-win seasons from 2012-14. Brandon had its best season ever under Peterson’s leadership, reaching the Class 6A state championship game in 2012 and posting a 12-3 record.

Peterson got his head coaching start at Newton High School. He was named the school’s athletic director and head football coach in 2003. He made an immediate impact, improving facilities and establishing golf and softball teams. On the gridiron, Newton claimed region championships in his final two seasons of 2002 and 2003. Peterson is no stranger Starkville. He earned his undergraduate degree in physical education from Mississippi State in 1996 and later received a master’s degree in sports administration in 2000. Peterson has held many distinguished roles in his career, serving as football chairman of the Mississippi Association of Coaches from 2010-13 and twice coaching in the AlabamaMississippi All-Star Game. In 2004, he represented the state at the NFL’s Youth Football Summit. He and his wife, Lindley, have three children – Lauren (21), Cal (6) and Brett (1).

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. Felker currently serves as MSU’s director of player development. 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. Felker’s first association with Mississippi State came in December 1970, when he signed a football scholarship to play quarterback for the Bulldogs. After playing one year of freshman ball, he was under center for most of the next three seasons. In 1974, Felker led MSU to a 9-3 overall record, leading the SEC in total offense and directing the Bulldogs to a win over North Carolina in the Sun Bowl. He was named the Nashville Banner SEC Player of the Year and the Birmingham Post-Herald Outstanding Senior Player for his stellar final season. Following his five years as head coach at MSU, Felker worked nine more years as an assistant coach. He had two terms as the offensive coordinator at the University of Tulsa (1991-92 and 1997-99) and spent four years on the coaching staff at the University of Arkansas, working three seasons (1994-96) as the school’s offensive coordinator. While at Arkansas, Felker coached the running backs in 1993, then tutored the quarterbacks the next three years. He helped the Razorbacks win the SEC Western Division title and earn a berth in the 1995 SEC Championship Game. The Razorbacks concluded that season with a bid to the Carquest Bowl in Miami. Felker is married to the former Susan Tingle and they have three sons: Jay, David and Stephen.

BELK BOWL CHAMPIONS MSU reached its school record sixth-consecutive bowl game and defeated NC State in the 2015 Belk Bowl, 51-28, in Charlotte, N.C. Dak Prescott totaled 427 yards of total offense against the Wolfpack, representing the most by an SEC player during the bowl season. It was the Bulldogs’ 19th bowl appearance and first at the Belk Bowl. Dan Mullen secured his school-record fourth bowl victory. The Bulldogs completed the year with a 9-4 mark. It was the first time in program history that MSU notched back-to-back seasons of at least nine wins.

MSU PRODUCED A FIRST-TEAM ALL-SEC QB, WR IN SAME SEASON, FIRST SINCE 1978 Dak Prescott and Fred Ross both earned first-team All-SEC honors, representing the first time since 1978 that the school produced a quarterback and wide receiver together on the first team. Prescott was the first two-time first-team All-SEC quarterback for MSU since Billy Stacy in 1956-57. Prior to his arrival, the Bulldogs had not produced a first-team All-SEC QB since Don Smith in 1986. Since 1990, Prescott was one of only four SEC QBs to earn back-to-back first-team All-SEC honors, joining Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel (2012-13), Florida’s Tim Tebow (2007-09) and Florida’s Shane Matthews (1990-92). Ross was the first MSU receiver to earn first-team AllSEC coaches honors since Buffalo Bills great Eric Moulds in 1995.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In a fitting end to the greatest career in MSU history, Dak Prescott threw for a Belk Bowl-record 380 yards and four touchdowns on a rain-soaked field as MSU capped a nine-win season with a 51-28 blowout of NC State in Charlotte. Selected the game MVP, Prescott completed 25 of 42 passes and ran for 47 yards joining Colin Kaepernick, Tim Tebow, Dan LeFevour as the only players in FBS history to throw for 9,000 yards and run for 2,500 yards in their career. The Bulldog defense set the tone early. On the first play from scrimmage, defensive end Jonathan Calvin hit Jacoby Brissett as he released the ball and linebacker Gerri Green came up with the diving interception. Five plays later, Fred Ross hauled in a pass from Prescott in the left flat, turned up the left sideline and raced 14 yards for a score. Brissett had another pass picked off later in the first quarter and Prescott capitalized by finding De’Runnya Wilson for a 28-yard scoring strike. MSU made it 21-0 when Ross scored on a 33-yard reverse. Prescott lobbed his third TD pass of the game to Holloway over a blitzing defense to put the Bulldogs up 37-21 late in the third quarter. The senior quarterback hit Holloway in stride on a go route along the right sideline for a 55-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Beniquez Brown and J.T. Gray led all tacklers with nine.

2016 NFL DRAFT NOTES • 21 different MSU players have been selected in the NFL Draft under Dan Mullen since 2010. • Chris Jones was the second-highest drafted MSU defensive lineman since 1983. Only Fletcher Cox went higher when he was taken in the 2012 first round by the Philadelphia Eagles. • Dak Prescott became the highest drafted MSU quarterback in modern NFL Draft history (Dallas Cowboys, No. 135). He was the first Bulldog drafted to play quarterback in the NFL since Dave Marler went in the 10th round to the Buffalo Bills in 1979.

• Will Redmond became the fourth different defensive back to be selected in the NFL Draft in the Dan Mullen era, joining Charles Mitchell (2012), Darius Slay (2013) and Johnthan Banks (2013). • It was the first time in modern NFL Draft history (since 1970) that MSU produced multiple defensive selections through the first three rounds in back-toback years.

• Prescott was the highest drafted Southeastern Conference quarterback since Tyler Wilson of Arkansas went No. 112 to Oakland in 2013. Three other SEC QBs were drafted in that span. • Prescott was the first quarterback selected by the Dallas Cowboys since Stephen McGee of Texas A&M, also in the fourth round, in 2009. He’s just the third quarterback drafted by the Cowboys since 2001. • The Bulldogs have had at least one defensive lineman taken in five out of the last six NFL Drafts. • MSU produced multiple picks through the first three rounds of a draft in back-to-back years for the first time since 1998, ‘99. • Jones became the first MSU player to be selected by the Kansas City Chiefs since Greg Favors went No. 120 overall (Round 4) in 1998. Jones was the highest drafted Bulldog in Chiefs history. • Jones was the fifth Bulldog defensive lineman to be taken in the NFL Draft under Dan Mullen, joining Pernell McPhee (2011), Fletcher Cox (2012), Josh Boyd (2013) and Preston Smith (2015).

“When you ask about Dak, the first thing that came out was that magnetism, that leadership that is involved. He’s got ‘it.’” - Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys Owner/President

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.

“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)

“To all those Bulldog fans shining those cell phone flashlights and signing along to Don’t Stop Believin’, they make Davis Wade Stadium the most fun place to watch a football game in the SEC.” – Kevin Scarbinsky, AL.com (11.14.15)

“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)

“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)

“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)

“These are the most genuine, authentic fans in America.” – Paul Finebaum, SEC Network, on the Nov. 14 SEC Nation show

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 2016 in the midst of a span that has seen 12 wins over the last 15 home games. 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. All 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 102-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 saw 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. MSU broke total attendance (432,490) and signle-game average attendance (61,784) for the third straight year in 2015. That year, the Bulldogs eclipsed over 50,000 in season ticket sales for the first time in program history. The previous high for season ticket sales was 45,575 in 2014, and prior to that was 43,894 in 2013. 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 2016 season, a total of 9,279,011 Bulldog fans have entered the turnstiles at Davis Wade Stadium since 1970.

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.

TIMELINE HISTORY OF SCOTT FIELD

AGE BEFORE BEAUTY

1914 – Mississippi A&M’s football field moves to its current stadium location and is called the “New Athletic Field.”

In 2014, MSU celebrated 100 years of Scott Field in conjunction with the expansion and renovation of Davis Wade Stadium, which was originally built in 1914. Scott Field is the second-oldest stadium in FBS behind Georgia Tech’s Bobby Dodd Stadium.

1920 – Student body adopts a resolution name the field Scott Field in honor of Don Scott, famed Olympic runner and Bulldog football standout from 1915-16.

OLDEST STADIUMS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL

1928 – Permanent seating for 3,000 fans is built on the west side of Scott Field at a cost of $15,000. In addition portable stands are placed on the east side of the field with a similar capacity. 1936 – Construction begins on concrete stands on the west side with Works Progress Administration labor. The new concrete facility will seat 8,000, while bleachers on the east side and in the end zone bring capacity to 20,000.

School Penn Harvard Georgia Tech Yale Mississippi State

Built 1895 1903 1913 1913 1914

Location Pennsylvania, Penn. Boston, Mass. Atlanta, Ga. New Haven, Conn. Starkville, Miss.

1948 – Scott Field is enlarged to 35,000 by increasing the west side concrete stands to 15,000 and the construction of 12,000 concrete seats on the east side of the stadium.

While it may be one of the oldest in college football, it is in no way outdated. The $75-million renovation and expansion that was completed in 2014 makes it the only stadium among the top five oldest in FBS to be expanded since 2005.

1983 – End zone seating structures are removed, reducing capacity to 32,000.

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.

MSU is second nationally in percentage of average attendance increase in the last 10 years based on stadiums over 60,000 capacity. In 2004, State’s average attendance was 43,792, while in 2014 it was 61,127, marking a percentage increase of 39.6. MSU trails only Texas A&M, which saw a 41.1 percentage increase from 2004-14.

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.

State ranked ninth among FBS teams in largest average attendance increase from the previous year with a jump from 55,695 in 2013 to 61,127 in 2014 a change in average of 5,432.

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.

| 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.

POINTS OF PRIDE AT MSU • •

• • •

•

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 began offering the state’s only petroleum engineering degree program last 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, Boeing 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.

2015-16: HIGHEST DIRECTORS’ CUP FINISH IN SCHOOL HISTORY • Behind a banner campaign that saw seven teams finish among the Top 25 of their respective sports, Mississippi State Athletics earned its highest Learfield Directors’ Cup finish ever by taking 44th for the 2015-16 athletic year. • The 44th-place finish eclipsed the Bulldogs’ previous best of 49th in 2012-13 and was the second Top 50 finish in school history. The Bulldogs have scored in the Top 55 for a school-record four straight years. • In total, eight sports reached NCAA postseason play with four of those setting or tying a school record NCAA Championship finish. Five sports secured Top 16 finishes, a first in MSU history. • The 44th place was also the highest finish ever by a Division I school in the state of Mississippi. • In 2015-16, MSU broke school single-season total and/or average attendance records in five sports: soccer, football, women’s basketball, softball and baseball. • Three teams – women’s basketball, women’s tennis and baseball – set program records for most SEC victories in a season. Women’s basketball reached the NCAA Sweet 16 for the second time in program history and set a school record for victories with 28 as record crowds packed Humphrey Coliseum.

Marta Freitas was crowned the 2016 NCAA Outdoors 1500m national champion, helping the Bulldogs to their highest NCAA Championships finish ever (13th). Freitas also qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics for her country of Portugal.

Football recorded back-to-back seasons of at least nine wins for the first time in school history, capping the year with a Belk Bowl trophy after defeating NC State.

| 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.

| 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. In his eighth year of tenure, Dr. Keenum has guided Mississippi State to unprecedented heights. The university has experienced record enrollment growth to more than 21,000 students and a freshman class for fall 2016 of over 3,600. Mississippi State has awarded more than 4,000 degrees at all levels for five straight years. The campus has expanded and improved on Keenum’s watch. Chief among those projects has been The Mill at MSU – a modern conference center housed in the former Cooley Building. Construction of a new classroom building with built-in parking and two new residence halls including Nusz Hall (which will house the G.V. “Sonny” Montgomery Center for America’s Veterans), and a fourth-floor expansion to Mitchell Memorial Library to house the Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library. New projects launching over the next two years includes a new Department of Music building and the completion of an Animal and Dairy Science/Poultry Science complex for the Division of Agriculture, Forestry and Veterinary Medicine. Fundraising has reached all-time record levels. MSU’s current Infinite Impact capital campaign reached its $600 million goal this year, three years ahead of schedule. Due to that unprecedented success, the university announced a new private endowment goal—$1 billion by 2020—the largest campaign goal ever for an educational institution in Mississippi. During his tenure, Dr. Keenum has 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 is ranked by the National Science Foundation as a “Top 100” research institution. The most recent research success has been MSU’s designation as the Federal Aviation Administration’s National Center of Excellence for Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Boeing’s decision to locate a composite research center at MSU’s Raspet Flight Research Laboratory. 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 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. In 2016, Keenum was elected president of the Southeastern Conference where he is a member of the SEC Executive Committee and continues to serve on the SEC’s Content Committee that oversees the SEC Network. He also represents the SEC as a member of the College Football Playoff ’s (CFP) Board of Managers. A graduate of Mississippi State with degrees in agricultural economics, Keenum’s interest in international food security has strengthened the university’s contributions to global economic sustainability. In 2014, he was appointed vice chairman of the Foundation for Food and Agricultural Research by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Thomas J. Vilsack. That same year along with other university presidents, he signed the Presidents’ Commitment to Food and Nutrition Security at the United Nations in New York City. This marks the first time universities around the world began to share a collective focus on ending food insecurity. 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 Scott Stricklin has overseen a period of unprecedented success in Bulldog Athletics since being named Director of Athletics at Mississippi State in 2010. With a focus on the student-athlete, a commitment to great integrity, and a dedication to promoting MSU aggressively, Stricklin has facilitated a stretch of unparalleled milestones in academics, postseason play, fan attendance and fundraising, and marketing innovation. With an investment of nearly $140 million in facilities, a strong roster of successful coaches, and significant increases in Bulldog Club membership and donations, MSU Athletics has achieved the highest-ever Learfield Director’s Cup finish (44th in 2015-16) for any school from the Magnolia State, 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 six-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. In 2015-16, eight sports advanced to NCAA postseason play, with seven finishing ranked in the Top 25. Eleven first- or second-team All-America honors were won, while MSU broke single-season total and/or average attendance records in five sports (soccer, football, women’s basketball, softball and baseball). Two sports – baseball and women’s basketball – earned the opportunity to host NCAA postseason play. In addition, MSU won individual track and field national titles with Curtis Thompson (javelin) and Marta Freitas (1500m run). All this success unfolded after Mississippi State sports advanced 11 teams to NCAA postseason play in 2014-15, with eight earning Top 25 rankings during the season, including the women’s golf team, which ascended all the way to No. 1 in the fall. The year was capped by All-American 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, 2014-15 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 2015-16 academic year, Mississippi State’s men and women athletes posted a combined GPA of 2.99 (second highest in school history), while 182 of the 340 Bulldog student-athletes had a 3.0 or better. Also in 2016, Bulldog students again excelled in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate, with all 16 sports far exceeding the minimum standard, with eight teams posting a perfect score. Stricklin, who was named Under Armour’s Athletics Director of the Year in April 2016, 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. In addition to innovative premium seating options, a new brick facade and updated west concourse, renovated restrooms and concessions, now greets fans attending games at historic Scott Field. This past Spring, a $6 million renovation concluded on both the tennis and softball complexes, with Nusz Park playing host to the SEC Softball Tournament. Next June, a massive $55 million upgrade to Dudy Noble Field will begin, making it the premier ballpark in all of college baseball. 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 was making fiscal education for student-athletes a priority as part of the department’s Life Skills curriculum. 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 28 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, 46, 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.

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 sixth 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 38th 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 call-in radio show with eighth-year Bulldogs’ coach Dan Mullen that airs each Thursday.
