Punchless Dogs need revamping
Punchless Dogs need revamping Mississippi State last won a game here 22 years ago, when Don Smith’s long TD run stunned the 13th-ranked Volunteers.

After weeks of upsets, predictability prevails among college football’s powers
After weeks of upsets, predictability prevails among college football’s powers It can’t be yank-your-hair-out every week. Sometimes, instead of preposterous, you get predictable.
