In 2014, the Mississippi State football team went 10-3 and were led by quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Josh Robinson. Prescott threw for 3449 yards and 27 touchdowns while being praised by the media and postseason award voters.
The Bulldogs lost a lot of top contributors on both sides of the ball heading into the 2015 season. Mississippi State lost Robinson, kicker Evan Sobiesk, who went 12-14 on field goal attempts in 2014, their second most targeted receiver Jameon Lewis and two of three top tacklers on defense (Christian Holmes and Benardrick McKinney).

The biggest problem that Mississippi State will have to deal with in 2015 is how overrated their quarterback is. Prescott will have two top receivers returning in 2015 in DeRunnya Wilson and Fred Ross but will fail to be successful against defenses that can now plan to contain the dual threat QB.
That being said, coach Dan Mullen and the Bulldogs will slip back to the bottom of the SEC West where they belong (Mr. Summers’ opinion). There will be nothing pretty about football season in Starkville in 2015, including the scores for the home team.
