Trap games for every SEC team - Mississippi State Bulldogs

530. Prediction. Week 9. 524. dfgbdfgadgdsaafds. Oct. 26

Jeff Lebby has a big task in front of him this year. The Bulldogs had an extremely confused offensive identity last season after Zach Arnett took over, but the former Bulldog DC had to do so under extremely tragic circumstances.

Still, though, going directly from a high-flying air-raid attack to a pro-style scheme while using all the exact same personnel was a poor decision in hindsight—especially when you’re competing against teams much more talented than you week in and week out.

Lebby’s style is much more in the vein of what has made MSU dangerous in the past. Even so, the Bulldogs will not be favored in many conference games this year. But when State loyalists look at their slate this season, they no doubt have the Arkansas game as one that they have the best chance to win in-conference.

However, this comes at the end of a very tough stretch for the Bulldogs. They will have gone on the road to Austin and Athens before playing at home against Texas A&M. If you’re into the body-blow theory in college football, then that’s a pretty unfavorable outlook by the time the Hogs roll into town.
