Here’s the five players of the game for the Mississippi State football team against the Kansas State Wildcats

The Mississippi State football team flat out dominated Kansas State. The game wasn’t a blowout from start to finish. In fact, it was the opposite. The Kansas State Wildcats did a pretty impressive job of staying in the game and keeping everything in striking distance as the game moved into the second half.

But the Bulldogs made bigger plays and more of them. Because of that, there’s several Mississippi State football players that deserve some recognition for their performances against the Wildcats.

That’s exactly what we’re going to do here today.

The Mississippi State football game against Kansas State would not have been won had these players performed worse than what they did on Saturday. The Bulldogs needed every big play, every touchdown scored, and every solid tackle to make that win the dominant victory that it was.

And they have very right to be proud of how they played.

Sure, some guys on this list probably could have done better. Some were expected to perform at a higher level and didn’t. Ultimately thought, MSU still needed them to do what they did against the Wildcats. They can work on improving things moving forward.

Let’s start with some honorable mentions.
