Mississippi State vs. Tennessee: How the Bulldogs’ defensive line size disadvantage could shape this SEC matchup. Find out what adjustments might help the Bulldogs.
Mississippi State football has been at a disadvantage for most of its game this season and that won’t change Saturday at Neyland Stadium.
Arizona State had a similar size advantage earlier this season and ran for 364 yards against Mississippi State. Nobody has topped that mark, but Arkansas came close with 359 yards and UMass had 199 yards. Through nine games, the Bulldogs have allowed an average of 211.7 yards per game. That ranks 123rd out of 133 FBS teams.
It’s too soon to say what coach Jeff Lebby and defensive coordinator Coleman Hutzler are trying to accomplish on defense won’t work. A defensive scheme with three defensive linemen can work, but it needs the right personnel. Right now, the Bulldogs don’t have the right personnel.
