Florida: Mississippi State loses 13-6 (Grade F)

This one hurt the most. The Mississippi State football team welcomed former head coach Dan Mullen to Starkville in a game every fan and player had circled on their calendar since he had announced his resignation to take the Florida job.

And Joe Moorhead and company blew it.

The Mississippi State football team needed just two touchdowns to win this game, but they could only muster two field goals. The most frustrating moment of the night was a neasy catch downfield that would have gone for a touchdown, but Osiris Mitchell dropped it The Bulldogs would never threaten for a touchdown the rest of the night.
