PRESCOTT HAS CAREER DAYS AT TEXAS A&M AND SOUTH CAROLINA n Dak Prescott had career highs in passing attempts (43) and completions (28) at South Carolina. Both were the most under a Dan Mullen coached team in an SEC game. A week later at Texas A&M, he rushed for career-high 154 yards, his fourth game of 100 or more ground yards the season. Among MSU quarterbacks, Prescott trails only Don Smith ( , nine) and John Bond ( , five) in career 100-yard rushing games.

It was the first time an offensive lineman had scored since Gabe Jackson also recovered a fumble in the end zone against Auburn on Sept. 9, PRESCOTT, LEWIS MAKE SEC HISTORY n Against Troy, Mississippi State became the first school in SEC history to have two players (Dak Prescott and Jameon Lewis) on the same team in the same game score a rushing and receiving touchdown while also throwing a touchdown pass.

DEFENSE SOLID IN OPENER AGAINST OSU IN HOUSTON n Last season, Oklahoma State finished third in the FBS in scoring at 46.0 points. But against the Bulldogs, the Cowboys managed just 21. MSU also held OSU scoreless in the first quarter, marking the first time in 35-consecutive quarters it failed to score.

Johnson was also selected as the Oct. 30 John Mackey National Tight End of the Week following his career-high four receptions for 70 yards and scoring the game s first touchdown on a 60-yard bomb. Three weeks ago, senior punter Baker Swedenburg was chosen as a nominee for the Ray Guy Award Mississippi State Football Notes Game 12 vs. Ole Miss Battle for the Golden Egg RARE 2-POINT CONVERSION n MSU converted one of its two 2-point conversions at Texas A&M. It was the Dogs first successful rushing conversion since Omarr Conner ran for two points against Tulane on Sept. 16, FIRST FOR MORROW n With 14:53 left to play against Texas A&M, Jameon Lewis connected with Joe Morrow for a 31-yard scoring strike. The touchdown catch was the first for the sophomore wideout from Ocean Springs, Miss.

The Florence, Ala., native has 35 stops this year. BULLDOGS HAVE OFFENSIVE EXPLOSION n Against Troy, Mississippi State s offense was as good as it s been in quite some time. The 62 points scored tied for the 13th most in school history and were the most since totaling 66 against Tulane on Oct 22, The 45 first-half points were second only to the 49 scored in 1946 against Murray State. In the second quarter, the Bulldogs put up 35 points, the most in the modern era (since 1950) and second only to the 40 scored in the third frame against Howard College in SHUMPERT SHINES n True freshman Ashton Shumpert paced the Bulldogs ground attack against Alcorn State with 98 yards in his collegiate debut. Not since Anthony Dixon in 2006 had a true freshman led Mississippi State in rushing.

On the year, he has 161 yards on 38 carries and two scores. He also has three catches for 25 yards. HOLLOWAY S KO RETURN IS QUITE LONG n Freshman Brandon Holloway has had just three kick-off returns, but he made his first return count. Against Alcorn State, Holloway opened the second half with a 95-yard return to give MSU possession at the 1. The drive culminated three plays later with a TD by Ashton Shumpert. BULLDOGS WELCOME NEW ASSISTANT COACHES n After a year of very little change in the coaching staff, Dan Mullen had to make three changes this offseason.

Additionally, David Turner joins the staff as the defensive line coach after three years at Kentucky. HOLMES EVERYWHERE n Junior Christian Holmes has been all over the field this season. Literally. After making the move from linebacker to tight end in the offseason, Holmes was moved back to the defensive side of the ball prior to the Texas A&M contest due to the injury to Deontae Skinner.

5 2013 Mississippi State Football Notes Game 12 vs. Ole Miss Battle for the Golden Egg I t has acquired the nickname Egg Bowl, but no invitations are issued, or required. Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi have standing reservations each November to battle for school pride, bragging rights and a battered 85-year old trophy symbolizing football supremacy in the state of Mississippi. One of the Deep South s great football rivalries, this feud between State and UM will be renewed a 110th time on Nov. 28, 2013, in Starkville. Whether known as The Battle for the Golden Egg, or just State-Ole Miss, it is the most significant athletic event of each year in the Magnolia State. Seasons and careers are made and hearts broken by the outcome, and gameday finds no one in the state neutral on the subject. In 1998, for the first time in 27 years, the Battle for the Golden Egg returned to Thanksgiving Day to accommodate a national television audience on ESPN and was carried by the nation s leading cable network for six-straight seasons on Thanksgiving from While then-mississippi A&M began playing football in 1885, and Mississippi two years earlier, the schools did not meet until October 28, The Mississippi Rebels were returning from playing Alabama in Tuscaloosa, and stopped in Starkville for a game with the A&M Aggies. The inaugural meeting was contested on the south end of campus, on a field used until recently for practice by the Famous Maroon Band. The Aggies, who had played only seven previous football games, scored the first points in school history that day and shut out the visitors Thus began a rivalry that has only gotten fiercer with 100- plus years of seasoning. Ole Miss currently holds a advantage, their margin largely built in the quarter-century between World War II and Vietnam. The series has been interrupted only twice, with no games from and in BATTLE FOR THE GOLDEN EGG However, there were two meetings in one season, in 1918, with A&M winning both: 34-0 at Starkville and 13-0 at Oxford. But the game did not acquire its distinctive symbol, and thus the unique title, until It came about after Mississippi broke a 14-game losing streak to A&M on Nov. 25, 1926, in Starkville. Celebrating Rebel fans took the field to tear down the goal posts, angry Aggies attempted to protect them, and a general melee ensued. Hoping to prevent similar episodes in future years, both schools agreed that the winner of the annual game would take possession of a trophy. The next year s game debuted a regulation-size, goldplated football mounted on a pedestal where the outcome of each year s game would be recorded. Because the trophy was shaped as the standard, more rounded ball of the day, it eventually came to be called the Golden Egg. Today it is awarded immediately following every Battle for the Golden Egg, and proudly paraded on-field by the victors. The series commonly used title Egg Bowl was hatched in the 1970s when a newspaper sports editor wanted a shorter, distinctive name for the big game than Battle for the Golden Egg. It seemed natural to call the annual MSU-UM meeting a bowl game and to title it after the prize. The Battle for the Golden Egg has been played on 10 different fields in seven different cities, but since 1922 has been contested only on the respective campuses or in the state capital of Jackson. There have been 36 games played in Starkville, 36 in Oxford, and 30 in Jackson. The Jackson mark includes a run of 18 consecutive years, from , at Mississippi Veteran s Memorial Stadium. The series returned to campus in 1991, in Starkville, with host MSU taking a 24-9 win. Mississippi State leads the series since the return to on-campus games 22 years ago.

11 HEAD COACH FIFTH SEASON n his fifth season, Dan Mullen has revitalized and reenergized the Mississippi State fan base. From the moment of his introduction on Dec. 10, 2008, as the 32nd head coach in school history, supporters have turned out in record numbers and capacity crowds to support the Bulldogs. Mississippi State fans have sold out a school-record 28 consecutive home games at Davis Wade Stadium. Each of the last three years has seen the school s attendance record broken. In fact, 19 of the school s Top 20 crowds have occurred in the last four seasons, with all seven crowds in 2012 ranking in the Top 25 all-time. The Bulldog faithful have gone on to watch the head coach lead the Maroon and White s football program to threestraight postseason bowl wins for the second time in the 113- year history of the program. Just four years into his tenure, Mullen (.548) owns the highest winning percentage as a coach at State since the late Darrell Royal in (.600), and is already fourth in school history for wins by a MSU head coach (34). On top of that, Mullen has dominated the Egg Bowl rivalry (3-1), becoming just the second MSU coach and the first since Sid Robinson from to start off 3-0 against Ole Miss. Mullen (34-28) was widely regarded as one of the top young minds in college football when he arrived at Mississippi State, and he brought not only an impressive offensive resume and a list of NFL-developed quarterbacks, but also an energy and passion for the college game. Improvement wasn t limited to fan enthusiasm, as Mullen ignited the Bulldogs to a nine-win season in just his second year, and then another successful season in With Mullen s masterful offensive mind, the Maroon and White broke the school record for six different offensive categories in 2012, including passing touchdowns in a season (28) and scoring (383). In 2010, State won six games in a row in the middle of the season and finished among the Top 10 in school history in the following categories - passing yardage, completion percentage, passing touchdowns, rushing attempts, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, total plays, total offensive yards, per-game offense and first downs. The defense also amassed the 10th-highest sack total in school annals. The 2010 Bulldogs closed out the season with nine victories after posting the largest margin of victory in a bowl game in school history. The resounding Gator Bowl win against Michigan capped a truly remarkable year. With the nation s toughest schedule in 2009, State s rushing attack, led by first-team all-southeastern Conference selection and current NFL running back Anthony Dixon, finished ninth nationally with a rushing yard average per game. State averaged yards of total offense per game, the ninth-highest total in school history and the most since 2000 at the time. Mullen s first season concluded with a rousing victory against MSU s in-state rival, which brought the Golden Egg back to Starkville. He became the only the third Mississippi State coach to win his Egg Bowl debut since 1939, joining Allyn McKeen and Jackie Sherrill. The Bulldogs posted a 5-7 overall record in 2009, including three road victories. During the previous four seasons as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the University of Florida, Mullen molded a Heisman Trophy, Davey O Brien and Maxwell Award-winning quarterback, along with a Rimington Trophy finalist and a Biletnikoff Award semifinalist. In 2008, Mullen s offensive attack ranked third nationally in scoring averaging better than 45 points per game as the Gators scored at least 30 points in 12-of-13 games. The 587 points scored eclipsed the previous Florida mark, set in Florida rushed for a school-record 41 touchdowns that season and UF s 80 rushing touchdowns over the two seasons ranked second nationally Overall, Florida s rushing yardage of 2,987 ranked ninth nationally in 2008 and was the third-highest total in school history. Seven offensive players were recognized as All-Southeastern Conference selections following the season in which Mullen helped UF claim its second SEC Championship and a chance to play for its second national championship in three seasons. The Gator offense ranked first in the SEC in scoring offense and total offense for a second-straight season in 2008, averaging 45.2 points and yards per game. Under Mullen s tutelage in 2007, UF averaged 42.5 points and yards. In 2007, Mullen directed the Gator offense to the third-highest point total ever by a UF unit and the top single-season marks for rushing touchdowns and third-down conversion percentage. Florida s offense scored 75 touchdowns, second most in the SEC Mississippi State Football Notes Game 12 vs Ole Miss Mullen orchestrated a UF attack that was the only one in the nation to have rushed for a touchdown and passed for a touchdown in every game during the season. He also helped UF score on 83-of-152 drives in 2007 for a league-best 54.6 percent, marking the best number since the stat was tracked by the SEC in Florida additionally averaged 7.0 yards per play that year, the fourth-best total in the nation. Lastly, the Gators averaged 5.3 yards per rush, the second-best number in school history. In 2007, Mullen helped coach sophomore quarterback and current NFL star Tim Tebow into a Heisman Trophy, Maxwell and Davey O Brien award winner, 78th Sullivan Award winner and AP first-team All-American among other honors. He also tutored six offensive players to the All-SEC team: Tebow, NFL Pro Bowler Percy Harvin, Cornelius Ingram, Brandon James, Jim Tartt and Drew Miller. In Florida s 2006 national championship, Mullen oversaw an offense that averaged 29.7 points and yards per game. In the BCS National Championship Game, he engineered an attack that produced 41 points against a top-ranked Ohio State squad that was limiting opponents to less than 11 points per game on the year. Under Mullen s tutelage, quarterback Chris Leak opened the contest by going 9-for-9 for 99 yards and a touchdown en route to earning Offensive MVP honors. The 2006 Gator offense posted 76 plays of 20 yards or more, 19 of which went for touchdowns. Florida passed for 29 touchdowns in 2006, while Leak ranked among the national leaders with 23 scoring tosses. Tebow matched UF s then single-season record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback with eight scores, and his 5.3 yards per carry average placed second nationally among signal callers. Six different players averaged at least 5.0 yards per carry. In 2005, Chad Jackson played his way to Biletnikoff Award semifinalist status after matching the UF single-season record with 88 receptions, a figure that led the SEC and finished sixth nationally. Center Mike Degory was also named a finalist for the Rimington Trophy, given annually to the nation s top center, during that campaign. Both earned first-team All-SEC honors. Mullen went to Florida from Utah with Head Coach Urban Meyer, with whom he had spent 10 seasons. While the quarterbacks coach at Utah, Mullen developed current NFL star Alex Smith the first overall selection in the 2005 NFL Draft from a pocket passer into an efficient executor of the spread, making him one of the most versatile threats in college football. Smith took over the starting job three games into Mullen s tenure, passing for 2,247 yards and running for 452 to finish second in the Mountain West in total offense in The 2004 campaign saw Smith earn National Player of the Year honors from The Sporting News and Sports Illustrated, while also becoming Utah s first-ever Heisman Trophy finalist. Smith also garnered final consideration for the Davey O Brien and Walter Camp National Player of the Year Awards. Smith passed for 2,952 yards and 32 touchdowns and ran for 631 yards and 10 scores on the year, ranking second in the nation with a efficiency rating and leading the Utes to a perfect 12-0 season and a Fiesta Bowl championship. As a team, Utah finished the 2004 season third in the nation in scoring offense (45.3) and total offense (499.8). Prior to his stint at Utah, Mullen served as quarterbacks coach at Bowling Green for two seasons, putting up 6,627 yards of total offense and scoring 81 touchdowns during that span. In 2002, quarterback Josh Harris threw for 2,425 yards, ran for 737 yards and completed the campaign as the nation s third-leading scorer. Mullen spent the two years before his Bowling Green stint as a graduate assistant at Notre Dame, and before that assisted with Syracuse s 1998 BIG EAST championship and Orange Bowl run. A two-year starter at tight end for Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pa., Mullen earned first-team All-Centennial Conference honors as a senior. He is married to the former Megan West, and the couple has two children, Canon and Breelyn Elisabeth. PERSONAL INFORMATION Birthdate: April 27, 1972 Hometown: Manchester, N.H.

Tied 17-apiece at the break in front of 61,005 fans at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, the Rebels exploded for 24 unanswered points in the final two quarters as they won for the first time in this series since The loss dropped the Bulldogs to 8-4 overall and 4-4 in SEC play, while Ole Miss improved to 6-6, 3-5. Defensively, MSU had few answers for the Rebels fast-paced offense. Behind the play of quarterback Bo Wallace, running back Jeff Scott and wideout Donte Moncrief, Ole Miss manufactured 527 yards of offense. Wallace accounted for 294 yards through the air on 15-of-22 passing, while Scott totaled 111 yards on 28 carries. Moncrief, though, proved to be the key as he hauled in seven passes for 173 yards and three scores. But it was Jamal Mosley who gave the Rebels the quick 7-0 lead after he hauled in a 25-yard strike from Wallace on their first possession. However, the celebration was short-lived as the Bulldogs responded on the ensuing kickoff when Jameon Lewis went untouched for 100 yards to the end zone. State then took its first lead at 14-7 with 2:46 left in the first quarter when Tyler Russell avoided heavy pressure to find a wide open Chad Bumphis. After Ole Miss closed the gap to on a 43-yard field goal, it regained the lead at when Wallace hooked up with Moncrief for a 77-yard scoring strike. But with 3:21 left until the break, Deven Bell evened the score with his 23-yard field goal. After forcing the Bulldogs to punt on their opening possession of the third quarter, the Rebels responded with a 41-yard field goal by Bryson Rose for a advantage, one they never relinquished. MSU would score late when Chad Bumphis hauled in an 8-yard pass from Dak Prescott. The Bulldogs finished with 333 total yards, with Russell completing 18 of his 33 passes for 268 yards. Bumphis was his favorite target, as the Tupelo, Miss., native had six receptions for 146 yards.

16 In front of a raucous crowd at Reliant Stadium, Mississippi State (0-1) fell to No. 13 Oklahoma State (1-0), 21-3 in a hard-fought battle in the 2013 AdvoCare Texas Kickoff game. The Bulldogs struck first in the 2013 season opener, with sophomore Devon Bell nailing a 40-yard field goal on the first drive of the game. MSU s defense followed the field goal by stifling the Cowboys up-tempo offensive attack, forcing five punts in the first half. Momentum swung near the end of the first half when OSU put its first points on the board as quarterback J.W. Walsh scored on a 3-yard QB keeper to give the Cowboys a 7-3 lead with a little more than two minutes remaining. Following an MSU turnover on downs, Oklahoma State drove to the Bulldogs 32 and set up for a 49-yard field goal with just seconds left. The attempt was blocked by senior defensive back Nickoe Whitley and sophomore defensive back Taveze Calhoun returned the ball just nine yards short of the end zone to complete the first half. The third quarter proved to be the turning point in the game as OSU scored on its first drive with a one-yard touchdown from senior running back Jeremy Smith, giving the Cowboys a 14-3 lead. Sophomore Dak Prescott entered the game for injured senior quarterback Tyler Russell and put together several solid drives, but before a missed field goal, OSU s Smith scampered for a 20-yard score, making it 21-3 OSU. The Bulldogs drove into Cowboy territory one more time in the fourth, but were stopped short when a Prescott pass went through the hands of Robert Johnson and was intercepted GAME RECAPS OKLAHOMA STATE 21 MISSISSIPPI STATE 3 Score by Quarters Oklahoma State Mississippi State SCORING SUMMARY 1st Quarter MS - Bell 40 yd field goal, 8:38 2nd Quarter OSU - Walsh 3 yd run (Grogan kick), 2:16 3rd Quarter OSU - Smith 1 yd run (Grogan kick), 10:41 4th Quarter OSU - Smith 20 yd run (Grogan kick), 14:33 Team Stats MSU OSU FIRST DOWNS NET YARDS RUSHING Rushing Attempts Average Per Rush Rushing Touchdowns 0 3 NET YARDS PASSING Completions-Attempts-Int Passing Touchdowns 0 0 TOTAL OFFENSE YARDS Total offense plays Fumbles: Number-Lost Penalties: Number-Yards PUNTS-YARDS KICKOFFS-YARDS Punt returns: Number-Yards-TD Kickoff returns: Number-Yds-TD Interceptions: Number-Yds-TD Fumble Returns: Number-Yds-TD Possession Time 34:07 25:53 Third-Down Conversions 2 of 16 8 of 15 Fourth-Down Conversions 3 of 4 0 of 1 Red-Zone Scores-Chances Sacks By: Number-Yards PAT Kicks Field Goals RUSHING: OSU- J.W.

ATTENDANCE: 35,874 AUGUST 31, 2013 RELIANT STADIUM HOUSTON, TEXAS ABC In the first home game of the 2013 season, Dan Mullen and his Mississippi State Bulldogs handled the Alcorn State Braves 51-7 to move to 1-1 on the year. The Bulldogs had seven new starters from the Oklahoma State game, including sophomore quarterback Dak Prescott, who played the entire first two quarters and led his team to a 37-0 halftime lead. Prescott gave way to freshman Damian Williams in the second half. Freshmen were a big portion of the contest, as true freshmen led MSU in both rushing and receiving, with Ashton Shumpert (98 rushing yards and two touchdowns) making his debut in the backfield, while wide receiver Fred Ross had three catches for 46 yards. The losses always look worse than they are and often the wins look better than they are, Mullen said. There are certainly some things we need to coach and improve on from this game. Prescott started the Mississippi State scoring binge with an 11-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and was followed by a pair of Derrick Milton touchdowns to give the Bulldogs a 21-0 lead just minutes into the second quarter. Shumpert punched in his first of two one-yard touchdown plunges in the second quarter to put the home team ahead A Jameon Lewis 31-yard touchdown pass from Prescott and a 26-yard field goal closed the first-half scoring. The Bulldogs resumed the touchdown string in the third quarter as Shumpert cashed in again from a yard away. Alcorn State got a 25-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter from John Gibbs Jr. to Tollette George, but a Nick Griffin 10-yard touchdown run finished the scoring. The 556 total yards of offense by Mississippi State were tied for the ninth most in a game in program history.

17 In a tough ending for the Bulldogs, Mississippi State fell in the final minute to Auburn at Jordan-Hare Stadium in the 2013 Southeastern Conference opener for both teams. Auburn jumped out to an 11-0 lead on a 40-yard field goal and 76-yard touchdown pass from Nick Marshall to Quan Bray before MSU climbed back into the contest in the second quarter, trailing only at halftime. MSU got on the scoreboard with just over four minutes remaining in the opening quarter as Jameon Lewis ran for a 14-yard touchdown. Auburn answered with a field goal to make it a 14-6 advantage, but the Bulldogs responded again, this time on a five-yard touchdown run by sophomore quarterback Dak Prescott. In the second half, State seemed to take control of the contest, taking a lead in the third quarter on a Prescott two-yard touchdown run. The defense helped turn the game around, holding the Tigers to just 18 yards during the third frame. Clinging to a advantage with under a minute to play, Auburn drove the length of the field and scored the game-winning touchdown with 10 second to play on an 11-yard toss from Marshall to C.J. Uzomah. Despite the setback, Prescott became the first Mississippi State quarterback to reach 200 passing yards (213) and 100 rushing yards (133) in a game since Chris Relf (224 passing, 103 rushing) against Arkansas in GAME RECAPS MISSISSIPPI STATE 20 AUBURN 24 Score by Quarters Mississippi State Auburn SCORING SUMMARY 1st Quarter AU - Parkey 40 yd field goal, 10:53 AU - Bray 76 yd pass from Marshall (Fulse pass from White), 4:54 MS - Lewis 14 yd run (Griffin rush failed), 4:09 2nd Quarter AU - Parkey 19 yd field goal, 13:36 MS - Prescott 5 yd run (Bell kick), 5:02 3rd Quarter MS - Prescott 2 yd run (Bell kick), 12:38 AU - Parkey 47 yd field goal, 9:53 4th Quarter AU - Uzomah 11 yd pass from Marshall (Parkey kick), 00:10 Team Stats MSU AU FIRST DOWNS NET YARDS RUSHING Rushing Attempts Average Per Rush Rushing Touchdowns 3 0 NET YARDS PASSING Completions-Attempts-Int Passing Touchdowns 0 2 TOTAL OFFENSE YARDS Total offense plays Fumbles: Number-Lost Penalties: Number-Yards PUNTS-YARDS KICKOFFS-YARDS Punt returns: Number-Yards-TD Kickoff returns: Number-Yds-TD Interceptions: Number-Yds-TD Fumble Returns: Number-Yds-TD Possession Time 34:23 25:37 Third-Down Conversions 5 of 15 7 of 15 Fourth-Down Conversions 2 of 2 0 of 0 Red-Zone Scores-Chances Sacks By: Number-Yards PAT Kicks Field Goals RUSHING: MSU- Dak Prescott , LaDarius Perkins 8-36, Jameon Lewis 2-15, Robert Johnson 1-9, Brandon Holloway 1-7, Derrick Milton 1-3, Ashton Shumpert 1-2, Josh Robinson 4-(minus 3).

ATTENDANCE: 85,817 SEPTEMBER 14, 2013 JORDAN-HARE STADIUM AUBURN, ALA. ESPN2 On a cool September Saturday night, Mississippi State s offense was hot, racking up 551 yards on the way to a 62-7 victory over Troy. The Bulldogs, now 2-2 overall, were led by sophomore quarterback Dak Prescott, who had four total touchdowns. In fact, both he and junior receiver Jameon Lewis scored three ways each - rushing, passing and receiving. MSU s offense lit up the scoreboard, posting 45 points in the first half, the most in a half in the modern era (since 1950), and the second-most ever. The second quarter alone had 35 points, also the most in the modern era and the second-most ever. The 62 total points by the Bulldogs were tied for the 13th most in program history and were the most since tallying 66 against Tulane on Oct. 22, The Trojans were held to only 186 total yards, 47 rushing and 139 passing. The Trojans entered the contest averaging 547 yards a contest, good for 14th in the country. It was the first time Troy did not reach the 200-yard plateau since Oct. 15, 2011, versus Louisiana-Monroe (126 yards). Junior linebacker Matt Wells led defensive coordinator Geoff Collins unit with five tackles, including one sack and 1.5 tackles for loss. It was actually the defense that sparked the scoring as junior cornerback Jamerson Love recorded his first interception of the year and second of his career, returning the pick 70 yards for a touchdown to end Troy s first drive of the game. The runback was tied for the 12th longest in program history.

19 On the backs of Jameon Lewis, Dak Prescott and a late defensive stand, Mississippi State (4-3, 1-2 SEC) beat Kentucky (1-6, 0-4) in Starkville on a chilly Thursday night at Davis Wade Stadium. For the second time this season, Lewis scored three different ways, reaching the end zone by receiving, rushing and passing for a touchdown. The junior wide receiver had 53 yards on seven catches, 22 yards on a pair of rushes and 17 yards on his one pass, a touchdown to Prescott, the sophomore quarterback. Senior linebacker Deontae Skinner paced the Bulldogs with 11 tackles defensively, including six solo stops. He was followed by sophomore linebacker Benardrick McKinney, who notched 10 of his own. The victory pushed the Bulldogs overall record to 4-3 and putting the program above.500 through seven games in consecutive years, a first for MSU since Mississippi State has won four-straight contests versus Southeastern Conference East Division foes (2011/Kentucky, 2012/Tennessee and Kentucky, 2013/Kentucky). It is tied for the program s longest winning streak versus East Division foes since the divisional format was adopted for the 1992 season (2009/Kentucky, 2010/Georgia, Florida, Kentucky).

After a first half that saw the Bulldogs down only a touchdown at halftime (17-10), Carolina capitalized on two MSU miscues in the third quarter and sandwiched another touchdown in between to lead after three periods. MSU managed a fourth-quarter score for the final points of the afternoon. State actually outgained USC in total offense, 385 yards to 307. The Bulldog attack was led by quarterback Dak Prescott, who was 28-of-43 through the air for 235 yards, but he was also hampered by three interceptions. MSU s two TDs on the day came from Prescott rushes. Robert Johnson and Jameon Lewis were Prescott s favorite targets, each hauling in seven receptions. Defensively, State was paced by Deontae Skinner s five tackles. Three others had four stops, including Preston Smith who added a tackle for loss and QB hurry.

20 In the last game of a road stretch before returning home, Mississippi State (4-5, 1-4 SEC) tried its best to keep up with the Texas A&M offense, but just couldn t quite do it, falling by a score to the 15th-ranked Aggies (8-2, 4-2) Saturday afternoon. Tyler Russell started the game at quarterback for MSU, but Dak Prescott entered on the third drive and played the majority of the game for the Bulldogs, racking up over 100 rushing yards (154) for the fourth time this season. He accounted for 303 yards of total offense in the game including two touchdown passes. The Aggie defense mostly held junior receiver Jameon Lewis in check, but the multi-purpose threat threw his third touchdown of the season, a trick play with sophomore Joe Morrow on the receiving end of the score. True freshman De Runnya Wilson was the star of the receiving group, hauling in a career-high seven catches for 75 yards and two touchdowns for the Bulldogs. Josh Robinson and LaDarius Perkins each added TDs on the ground for State, Robinson amassing 73 yards rushing. Junior corner Jamerson Love had a career day defensively, intercepting Heisman-winner Johnny Manziel twice (two of three picks that State had on the day), though the defense had a tough time holding the A&M quarterback in check much of the afternoon GAME RECAPS MISSISSIPPI STATE 41 TEXAS A&M 51 Score by Quarters Mississippi State Texas A&M SCORING SUMMARY 1st Quarter TAMU - Kennedy 12 yd pass from Manziel (Lambo kick), 5:45 MS - Robinson 51 yd run (Sobiesk kick), 5:28 TAMU - Safety, 1:28 TAMU - Labhart 33 yd pass (Lambo kick), 0:06 2nd Quarter MS - Wilson 3 yd pass from Prescott (Sobiesk kick), 0:54 TAMU - Labhart 11 yd pass from Manziel (Lambo kick), 0:16 3rd Quarter TAMU - Kennedy 21 yd pass from Manziel (Lambo kick), 7:34 MS - Perkins 12 yd pass from Prescott (Prescott pass fail), 0:44 TAMU - Williams 15 yd run (Lambo kick), 0:12 4th Quarter MS - Morrow 31 yd pass from Lewis (Sobiesk kick), 14:53 TAMU - Hicks 2 yd pass from Maniel (Lambo kick), 13:54 TAMU - Malena 2 yd run (Lambo kick), 10:52 MS - Perkins 1 yd run (Prescott rush), 6:45 MS - Wilson 9 yd pass from Russell (Russell rush fail), 2:19 Team Stats MSU TAMU FIRST DOWNS NET YARDS RUSHING Rushing Attempts Average Per Rush Rushing Touchdowns 2 2 NET YARDS PASSING Completions-Attempts-Int Passing Touchdowns 4 5 TOTAL OFFENSE YARDS Total offense plays Fumbles: Number-Lost Penalties: Number-Yards PUNTS-YARDS KICKOFFS-YARDS Punt returns: Number-Yards-TD Kickoff returns: Number-Yds-TD Interceptions: Number-Yds-TD Fumble Returns: Number-Yds-TD Miscellaneous Yards 0 0 Possession Time 34:52 25:08 Third-Down Conversions 4 of 13 6 of 13 Fourth-Down Conversions 1 of 2 0 of 0 Red-Zone Scores-Chances Sacks By: Number-Yards PAT Kicks Field Goals RUSHING: MSU- Dak Prescott , Josh Robinson 6-73, LaDarius Perkins 17-55, Ashton Shumpert 2-16, Tyler Russell 1-3, Team 1-(minus 2).

MSU s defense put forth one of its best performances of the year, limiting the Crimson Tide to its lowest point total of 2013, and fewest since a 9-6 outing against LSU on Nov. 5, The Bulldogs were led by true freshman defensive lineman Chris Jones and sophomore cornerback Taveze Calhoun. Jones had a sack and a tackle for loss. Calhoun picked off Tide quarterback A.J. McCarron twice as the Bulldog defense forced four turnovers over the course of the game. Kendrick Market led all MSU tacklers with a personal-best 10 stops. He also forced his first career fumble fumble. Offensively, Mississippi State was led by senior quarterback Tyler Russell, who completed 15-of-24 passes for 144 yards, and junior tight end Malcolm Johnson, who caught a career-high six passes for a personal-best 84 yards. State s lone score of the night, early in the third quarter, came when offensive lineman Charles Siddoway recovered a loose MSU fumble in the end zone.
