Despite a tough loss at Neyland Stadium, Mississippi State football demonstrates progress in some areas. Here’s what went right for the Bulldogs against Tennessee

Mississippi State (2-8, 0-6 SEC) has two games remaining in Jeff Lebby’s first season as the Bulldogs’ head coach. Mississippi State will have its second and final open date of the regular-season in Week 12 after suffering a, 33-14, loss at Tennessee on Saturday.

Sampson became the fifth Tennessee player ever to record five consecutive 100-yard games in a single season. The 5-foot-11, 201-pound running back joins Jay Graham (nine in 1995), Johnnie Jones (six in 1984), Arian Foster (five in 2005) and Chuck Webb (five in 1989).
