The Bulldogs’ defense will live in opposing backfield and that’s incredibly exciting to think about against SEC opponents

Stephen F. Austin doesn’t have much of an offensive line when comparing them to teams from the Southeastern Conference. The SFA Lumberjacks will have issues protecting their quarterbacks against teams like Mississippi State.

And teams like Mississippi State feature some of the best defensive lines in the country. That’s because Mississippi State has one of the best defensive lines in the country. And because of that, the Bulldogs are going to get plenty of tackles for loss throughout the year.

Tonight, MSU had 17 such tackles for loss. That’s a lot. And that’s really good for the Bulldogs.
