The Mississippi State Bulldogs showed resilience and flashes of brilliance despite falling to top-ranked Texas Longhorns. Freshman quarterback Michael Van Buren stepped up admirably, while the running game proved a bright spot with impressive performances from Johnnie Daniels and Davon Booth.
Mississippi State football faced an uphill battle on the road against the top-ranked Texas Longhorns . Starting quarterback Blake Shapen suffered a season-ending injury last week against Florida.
Sophomore Chris Parson also played some, finishing the day with 20 yards rushing. Each guy did well, but the biggest takeaway from the Mississippi State offense is the ability to run the ball well. Lebby did an excellent job of getting his team ready to play against Texas, even after a disheartening last three weeks. The game plan for Mississippi State was simple: it was to eat up the clock, which is nice to see from Lebby, who was willing to run his offense differently to shorten the game.
