Bulldogs to tangle with No. 3 LSU tonight
STARKVILLE (AP) — Mississippi State hasn’t been able to beat anyone in its division other than Ole Miss since Dan Mullen arrived.
With No. 3 LSU in Starkville tonight, now would be a good time to start.

Bulldogs looking at high expectations
HOOVER, Ala. — It’s amazing what one year of winning can do for a coach and a program. Just ask Mississippi State’s head man Dan Mullen.
A season after the Bulldogs were picked to finish at the bottom of the list in the SEC West, the opinion on what MSU can accomplish in 2011 has changed dramatically. Fresh off a win in the Gator Bowl and a final ranking on No. 15 in the nation, the expectations for Mullen’s team have greatly improved moving forward.
