This unit doesn’t really have stats unless you count sacks given up, but they are the most important unit when Mississippi State has the football. The Bulldog offensive line has struggled to protect their quarterbacks this season. They have to perform for the Bulldogs to stay in the game against Alabama.

In the last three games, they have mainly faced three rushers and an occasional Blitzer. The Bulldog Blockers have given up nine sacks in the last three games, six to Texas A&M. The Offensive line will have to pass protect and open up running lanes better, whenever Leach chooses to run the ball.
