Here is some info on Chris Relf, who will more than likely become our #2 QB with Riddell out for the season and Henig still out from surgery on his hand.

The Clarion-Ledger is reporting that after an MRI today, Josh Riddell learned that he would require season-ending surgery to repair an injury he sustained to his knee (ACL) during the Bulldogs loss at South Carolina Saturday.
This leaves Wes Carroll as the lone QB with any kind of in-game experience on the Bulldog offense. With junior [...]

Gregg Ellis is reporting on his blog that Zach Harrington has quit the Mississippi State football team. He transferred last year from Southeastern Louisiana and has not climbed very high in the depth chart.
This was apparently confirmed by MSU Media Relations director Mike Nemeth.

Kyle Veazey has a great profile on Anthony Dixon and Christian Ducre, Mississippi State’s #1 and #2 running backs. You can find it over at the Clarion-Ledger site.
In MSU’s past two games, he has rushed for 114 yards and what proved to be the game-winning touchdown in a 19-14 win at Auburn.
“He’s more of power,” [...]

So after our 3rd win in as many weeks, the Bulldogs are traveling to Columbia to take on the Old Ball Coach. South Carolina is coming off a loss to LSU and is having some problems of its own. Their starting QB Blake Mitchell has been sent to the bench in favor of Chris Smelley, [...]

Mississippi State got its third consecutive win Saturday against the Gardner-Webb Running Bulldogs, amassing 379 yards of total offense on its way to victory. This puts the bulldogs at 3-1 for the first time since 2000 going into Columbia next weekend to face SEC East foe South Carolina.
Anthony Dixon racked up 86 yards rushing on [...]

Someone forwarded me a link to this fake letter from MSU DB Anthony Johnson to Auburn QB Brandon Cox thanking him for lifting his spirits by throwing him the ball in Saturday’s game.
It is pretty funny.
But then in the first quarter, you somehow knew that I was down, and decided to cheer me up. [...]

The SEC has announced the the MSU/South Carolina game will be at 11:30am and televised by Lincoln Financial Sports. That is 12:30 ET since the game is in Columbia.
This will be the 4th time this season that the Bulldogs have been on TV.

Mississippi State safety Derek Pegues has been named the SEC Defensive Player of the Week for week 3. This is the second week in a row that an MSU player has taken the honor. Gabe O’Neal earned POTW after his performance against Tulane in week 2.

Pegues had five total tackles, an interception and a pass [...]

I snapped a picture of the scoreboard at Jordan-Hare Saturday in the finaly moments of the Mississippi State win over Auburn.
I have had a few people ask me about using it as a background, so I saved it out in a few different sizes and uploaded it to the server.

It appears that Mike Henig has a fracture in his right (throwing) hand. After surgery, he is expected to be out for 2-4 weeks.
I wonder if Carroll will immediately step up as the defacto starter or if it will be a week-to-week decision based on who has the better practices.

It is 6:30 on a Saturday morning and the only thing that has me up is that I am heading to the Plains to watch my Bulldogs take on Auburn. The game is also televised by LincolnFinancial Sports at 11:30 (central).
I hope that Tulane wasn’t really THAT bad and that we really do have some [...]
