The Bulldogs looked totally lost on offense and that problem doesn’t look like it’s going away any time soon

Remember back when we thought that the Mississippi State football team was going to be able to score in bunches this season? Remember back when we all assumed that Nick Fitzgerald, Kylin Hill, and Aeris Williams would be able to move up and down the field with ease?

Those are rather bitter memories now.

This Mississippi State offense was built to succeed. It did so a season ago with Dan Mullen leading it. Joe Moorhead, one of the best offensive coordinators in the country a season ago, has failed to lead the Bulldogs’ offense to success in back-to-back weeks.

MSU struggled to surpass 200 total yards of offense in back-to back-weeks. MSU’s offense looked inept in the second half. I honestly don’t know if that will get fixed by next week when the Bulldogs face Auburn.
