From what I understand it was quite boring.  Let's all hope that CC was holding the playbook close to his chest.  Our defense should be good once again, but the offense is definately still up in the air.  We can't get any worse right.  If our O can step up to the level of the D then it could be a good season, otherwise IMHO we got really lucky last year.  I'd prefer skill rather than luck. 

GO DOGS!!!

Stats at the bottom.

Pretty putrid, but Carroll, Dixon, and Ducre hardly played, if any.  It was #1 O v. #1 D (most schools do 1 vs 2).  And this was immediately after the campus gun incident, so no Brown, Wesley, Johnson, Prince, or Hughes.

There.  That's all the excuses I can come up with.

Also, this blurb from ESPN:

Never Mind The Stats

OK, it wasn't an offensive explosion for Mississippi State last Saturday in its spring game. The Bulldogs threw five interceptions, and the game was scoreless after four quarters, forcing overtime.

 But offensive coordinator Woody McCorvey was nonetheless pleased with the progress the offense made this spring, which will be a requirement in the fall if the Bulldogs are going to take another step and contend for the Western Division crown.

Starting quarterback Wesley Carroll threw just six passes in the spring game, and starting tailback Anthony Dixon ran just one time for 10 yards.

Mississippi State coach Sylvester Croom said the Bulldogs purposely didn't show much in the spring game, but said he exits the spring feeling significantly better about the Bulldogs' ability to throw the ball down the field.
