Mississippi State Bulldogs much different team than Arkansas Razorbacks fans expecting
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Much like most of America, the people of Arkansas know very little about this season's Mississippi State team.
Running back Davon Booth may be No. 21 in your program, but he is going to be doing all he can to climb up the rankings in your heart. He's such an absolute joy to watch run that Arkansas fans may at times have remind themselves he is doing it against their team. What's more is he is a solid receiver out of the backfield. He's hard enough to tackle while slipping and sliding in among four and five guys, but if he gets into open space one-on-one with a defender, there's a good chance a chunk play possibly punctuated with a touchdown is in order.Mississippi State Bulldogs quarterback Michael Van Buren Jr. throws a pass against the Georgia Bulldogs in the third quarter at Sanford Stadium.
Where Green sprints to the outer edge of the defense looking to tuck it and run, Van Buren is calculating the perfect angle to zip a ball behind a defender's head for the first down while doing so at a full sprint. He is as dangerous throwing on the run as Green is running the ball at full health. One thing that is apparent right away when watching the tape on the Bulldogs is someone ignored the strength part of the strength and conditioning program when it comes to the defensive line. Time and again backs are met in the backfield seemingly for a loss only to run right through them and anyone who followed for big positive gains.
Arkansas Razorbacks fans have an idea as to how a 1-6 team should behave. The Bulldogs should have long since let go of the rope, started moping in press conferences and developed a comfort with allowing little things like blocking become an excellent way to exorcise a personal grudge.
