The Mississippi State Bulldogs 2014 odds had them winning UNDER 7.5 regular season games at Sportsbook.ag. They were a huge 120/1 long shot to win the 2015 National Championship.
2013 Statistics:
SU Record: 7-6 (3-5 in SEC)
ATS Record: 8-5 (62%)
Over/Under: 5-8
Points Scored: 27.7 PPG (T-70th in FBS)
Points Allowed: 23.0 PPG (33rd in FBS)
Odds to Win 2015 BCS National Championship: 120/1
2014 Preview:
Offense: Starters Returning: 8
Defense: Starters Returning: 8
Dual-threat QB Dak Prescott (1,940 pass yds, 10 TD, 829 rush yds, 13 TD) has the starting job all to himself this year. If he can avoid injuries, he should emerge as one of the SEC’s top playmakers. He showed plenty of chemistry with WR Jameon Lewis (923 rec yds, 5 TD), who went for 220 yards in the Bulldogs’ Liberty Bowl win over Rice. RB Josh Robinson (459 rush yds, 5.9 YPC) is poised for a breakout year if a rebuilt offensive line holds up in front of him. LB Benardrick McKinney (70 tackles, 3.5 sacks) anchors a strong run defense. MSU’s pass rush is lacking, but has the kind of quality cover corners in CBs Taveze Calhoun (3 INT), Jamerson Love (3 INT) and Will Redmond (23 tackles) to hold opposing passing games in check.
