After losing so many experienced players to the NFL and graduation during the offseason, many pundits have been quick to dismiss Mississippi State heading into the season. Well this stat may blow their minds - the Bulldogs plan to start 22 juniors and seniors in the opener against Southern Miss.
The Bulldogs released their official depth chart for the opener Monday and the boys from Starkville once again find themselves loaded with experienced players. With so many upperclassmen, led of course by Dak Prescott, can State again challenge for the West title?
