Dogs looking for discipline, leadership as they regroup
STARKVILLE — Word of a previously unscheduled Monday morning practice filtered through the buses and the airplane aisles before Mississippi State’s players even arrived back to Starkville Saturday night.
Still smarting from their season-opening loss to Louisiana Tech, the Bulldogs gathered shortly after dawn at their practice fields. They worked almost exclusively on kicking. And ever since, there’s been a heightened sense of awareness around here of what didn’t work against Tech and what can work this weekend.
Ticked off at the coaches for all the extra work, linebacker Dominic Douglas?
“I don’t blame them,” he said. “That’s what we’re going to have to have to play to our potential. It’s going to all come to a positive.”
