STARKVILLE, Mississippi - Back in 2009, Mississippi State opened the Dan Mullen era with a 45-7 demolition of Jackson State in the first meeting between an SEC football program and a SWAC school. Mullen still remembers the Bulldogs' first offensive play of that game.
"We ran a double-reverse on the first play," he said this week. "I wanted to make sure we put a stamp on what the future was going to be like. That double-reverse play was planned out for like a year.
"Now we're four years in. We'll probably hand it off up the middle."
Now entering his fourth season in Starkville, Mullen has led the Bulldogs to two straight bowl wins and expectations are high for 2012. And again, the season will begin with Jackson State in a 6 p.m. kickoff today at Davis Wade Stadium.
