How Mississippi State's Big Step Forward Happened
After five years of mediocrity (and worse) under Sylvester Croom, Mississippi State welcomed Dan Mullen to Starkville with open arms in 2009. He managed just one more win in '09 than Croom did in '08, but it was easy to see that the arrow for the program was pointed up. The team surged in his...
