MISSISSIPPI STATE LOOKS TO REGAIN
HOME-OPENER SUCCESS
Mississippi State has posted an impressive 80-25-2 (.757)
record in season openers since the sport originated on the
campus in 1895. The Bulldogs have dropped their last
two home debuts, both against Southeastern Conference
competition. Prior to the most recent stretch, State had
won eight of nine home openers.
BULLDOGS EVEN BETTER IN NON-
CONFERENCE HOME DEBUTS
Mississippi State has compiled a 71-20-2 (.774) record in home
openers against non-SEC competition. Head coach Sylvester
Croom has won each of his non-conference home openers, in
2004 versus Tulane and in 2005 against Murray State.
CAMERAS NOT ROLLING BECOMING AN
ODDITY FOR BULLDOGS
Mississippi State's game against Southeastern Louisiana
will not be televised live. Six of the last seven Bulldog con-
tests have been broadcast either regionally or nationally.
State went 2-2 in non-televised affairs last season.
STATE HAS BEEN SOLID AGAINST NON-
LEAGUE OPPONENTS
Mississippi State is 294-147-19 (.562) all-time against teams
that are not members of the Southeastern Conference. State
is 7-4 in regular-season, non-conference games over the past
three seasons.
BULLDOGS LOOK TO BUILD HOME
STREAK AGAINST NON-SEC FOES
The Bulldogs have won each of their last three non-confer-
ence home contests. Wins over UAB and Gardner-Webb
last season and Jacksonville State in 2006 ended a stretch
of four losses in five such home tilts.
GRIMES, MOORE WERE TOGETHER AT
TEXAS A&M
Mississippi State offensive line coach J.B. Grimes worked
at Texas A&M from 1998-2002. The last three seasons
Grimes was there, Matt Moore, Southeastern Louisiana's
strength and conditioning coach, served as a student
assistant in the Aggie weight room.
DEFENSE SOLID IN FIRST OUTING
In his first career game as defensive coordinator, Charlie
Harbison guided his troops to a solid outing. The Bulldog
defense allowed just 269 yards to Louisiana Tech. The 'Dog D
also forced a pair of interceptions and recorded five tackles
for loss.
OFFENSE EXCEEDS 2007 AVERAGES
Mississippi State's attack group put up 348 yards of total
offense against Louisiana Tech last Saturday, bettering
their 2007 average by more than 50 yards. State also
exceeded its passing average, throwing for 257 yards -
nearly 100 more than it averaged a year ago.
14 PLAYERS SAW FIRST GAME ACTION
Fourteen players saw action for the first time in their
career last Saturday when Mississippi State took on
Louisiana Tech. The newcomers included Charles Mitchell,
Delmon Robinson, Wade Bonner, Tyson Lee, Damein
Anderson, Robert Gurley, Marcus Green, Jamie Jones,
Bo Walters, D.J. Looney, Andrew Ellard and Nelson Hurst.
The Bulldogs sent a total of 52 players into action, mean-
ing more than a quarter (26.9 percent) of them had not
played a collegiate snap prior to that contest.
BELL HAS CAREER-BEST DAY
Wide receiver Aubrey Bell posted career highs in both
receptions (six) and yards (67) in Mississippi State's game
against Louisiana Tech. Bell, who started eight times a
year ago, caught 14 passes all of last season. His previ-
ous career highs were set on a three-catch, 62-yard day
against Jacksonville State in 2006.

ROBINSON HAS BREAKOUT FIRST GAME
True freshman wide receiver Delmon Robinson made a
good first impression on State fans as he hauled in five
passes for 63 yards last weekend. Robinson had three
receptions for 42 yards in the third quarter alone.
B-MAC GETS INTO RECEIVING PARTY
Junior wideout Brandon McRae joined the reception
parade with a breakout four-catch, 60-yard evening. The
Chester, Va., native also hauled in his first career touchdown
reception - an eight-yard strike from Wesley Carroll.
DIXON CONTIUES TO CLIMB UP MSU
CAREER CHARTS
With 91 yards on 18 carries against Louisiana Tech,
Mississippi State junior tailback Anthony Dixon has now
compiled 1,825 rushing yards on 474 attempts in 26 career
games. The Terry, Miss., native stands sixth all time in
attempts (nine behind fifth place) and 13th all time in yards
(40 behind 12th). He also ranks fifth in career rushing touch-
downs (23, one behind a tie for second).
DEFENSE ALLOWS RARE RUSHING TD
While posting a 4-1 record over the final five games of the
2007 campaign, the Mississippi State defense allowed just
one rushing touchdown. In fact, Ben-Jarvis Green-Ellis' first
quarter TD for Ole Miss was the only rushing score allowed
by the Bulldogs for 25 quarters prior to a third-quarter
touchdown by Louisiana Tech's Patrick Johnson.
STRAUDER LEADS O-LINE
Senior Anthony Strauder, a pre-season Southeastern
Conference selection, paced the Mississippi State offensive
line with an 89 percent blocking grade against Louisiana
Tech in State's season-opener. The Natchez, Miss., native
also posted a career-best 13 knockdown blocks. Strauder
has now posted seven-consecutive games with a blocking
grade of 80 percent or better.

DEFENSE NOT SHORT ON EXPERIENCED
STARTERS EITHER
On the defensive side of the ball, MSU welcomed back 15
players that had totalled 157 starts. Jamar Chaney started
26 games, Derek Pegues 25 and De'Mon Glanton 16.
CHANEY SUFFERS BREAK, WILL MISS
REMAINDER OF SEASON
Senior Jamar Chaney broke a bone in his left leg in the Bulldog's
season opener against Louisiana Tech. Chaney, who led the
Bulldogs with 89 tackles from his middle linebacker position
a year ago, and was named to the Butkus Award Watch List
earlier this summer. He was a second-team all-Southeastern
Conference selection by both the league's coaches and media.
DEFENSIVE BACK DEREK PEGUES AGAIN
NAMED ON THORPE AWARD LIST
Mississippi State junior defensive back Derek Pegues was
selected to the 2008 Jim Thorpe Award watch list, an honor
given annually to the nation’s best college defensive back.
Pegues was one of just 40 defensive backs nationally to be
included on the initial watch list, one of only eight named
to the list for the second-consecutive season. He was also
selected first-team pre-season all-Southeastern Conference
by both the league’s coaches and the media.
PEGUES CONTINUES ASSAULT ON MSU,
SEC CAREER RECORD BOOKS
Senior defensive back Derek Pegues had played in all 36
games of his MSU career before missing the first game of
the 2008 campaign due to a suspension. The Batesville,
Miss., native currently holds the Mississippi State record for
kickoff returns in a career (81) and is 26 shy of setting the
SEC career mark. His 1,790 career kickoff return yards is
second in school history (Tony James, 1,862, 1989-92) and
ranks seventh in the Southeastern Conference.
Pegues also holds the MSU school record with three inter-
ception returns for touchdowns, which is tied for second in
the SEC. Also, his 10 total interceptions tie him for fifth in
school history in that category.
McADAMS CONTINUES HUNT FOR SEC
PUNTING RECORDS
Senior punter Blake McAdams has started each game for
the past three seasons for the Bulldogs, and his career
numbers are approaching some of the all-time records set
in the Southeastern Conference. McAdams set a new MSU
school record for total punts with his 221 (previous: 217,
Dana Moore, 1979-82). He is now only 56 shy of the SEC
mark. His 8,736 total yards are 124 shy of Moore's school
record and good for 20th in the history of the Southeastern
Conference.
FITZHUGH PULLS IN PAIR OF PICKS
Senior safety Keith Fitzhugh put together an impressive
opening night showing as he intercepted two Louisiana
Tech passes. The fifth and sixth pass thefts of his career,
it marked the first time a Bulldog pulled in more than one
interception in a game since Pegues picked off a pair of
Georgia attempts in 2006.
WRIGHT IN RIGHT PLACE, MAKES MOST
OF FIRST CAREER START
Sophomore linebacker K.J. Wright earned his first career
start in the season opener and posted six total tackles and
a team-best two tackles for loss.
LINEBACKER DOUGLAS AGAIN AMONG
DEFENSIVE LEADERS
Senior Dominic Douglas racked up the second most tack-
les among all Bulldog defenders a year ago, and lead the
team in stops twice. Last Saturday against Louisiana Tech,
Douglas was second on the squad with nine tackles, one
shy of his career high (10, UAB, 2007).
LEE SOLID IN BULLDOG DEBUT
Junior transfer Tyson Lee completed 10-of-15 passes for
85 yards in his first-career appearance last Saturday. The
Columbus, Miss., native completed seven of his first eight
attempts.
FERGUSON GETS RARE FRESHMAN START
True freshman Sean Ferguson became just the second
Mississippi State player in the past 22 years to start his first
career game when he lined up at defensive end against
Louisiana Tech. The Miami, Fla., youngster finished the
game credited with just one tackle but was graded well on
his 46 snaps played.
BAILEY BECOMING DEFENSIVE FORCE
Senior Tim Bailey, in only his second collegiate start, played
a line-most 57 snaps in the season-opener against Louisiana
Tech. Bailey was a constant in the backfield, and finished
with two tackles, two pass deflections and a career-best five
quarterback hurries.
MSU PASSES '07 SEASON TICKET SALES,

August 30, 2008Joe Aillet Stadium • Ruston, La.
Louisiana Tech 22
Mississippi State 14
RUSTON, La. – Five Mississippi State turnovers, coupled with a strong second-half defensive effort from Louisiana Tech, ultimately led to a 22-14 victory for the homestanding Bulldogs over the visiting Bulldogs Saturday night at Joe Aillet Stadium in the 2008 season opener for both teams.
It was Tech's second straight win over MSU, paired with a 1996 triumph in Starkville, and the first-ever meeting in Ruston. MSU still leads the series 7-3.
Star running back Anthony Dixon led State with 91 yards on 18 carries. Aubrey Bell hauled in six passes for 67 yards for the Bulldogs. Wesley Carroll and Tyson Lee platooned under center. Carroll was 12-of-25 for 172 yards and a touchdown, but was also picked off three times on the night. Lee was efficient in his backup role, completing 10-of-15 aerials for 85 yards. Jamar Chaney led MSU defensively with 12 tackles. Keith Fitzhugh picked off two
passes for State as well. State led 14-9 at halftime, but LTU
shut out MSU in the second half of play, aided by three third-quarter miscues. On returning the opening kickoff of the third period, State's Wade Bonner fumbled while trying to elude a tack-ler, giving LTU excellent field position at the MSU 30. But after the first two plays of the drive netted just one yard, Tech's Taylor Bennett was intercept-ed by Fitzhugh, the second pickoff of the evening for the Bulldog defensive back.
After the teams traded stalled drives, another Mississippi State miscue would setup a go-ahead touchdown for the homestanding Bulldogs. LTU punter Chris Keagle's punt sailed over the shoulder of MSU's Jamayel Smith, who fumbled while trying to haul in the kick. The fumble was ultimately recovered by Tech at the State 9. Four plays later, Louisiana Tech was in the end zone. The short drive was capped by a six-yard run from Patrick Jackson and LTU led 16-14 with 6:30 to go in the third quarter.
Tech used yet another MSU turnover to add to its lead just before the end of the third. With State driv-ing deep in Tech territory, Carroll was picked off for the third time on the night, as Deon Young returned the ball to the 50. A State personal foul added 15 more yards to the end of the run-back, giving LTU another short field to work with. The home team was able to manufacture one first down and gain 24 yards to set up a Chad Oestriecher 28-yard field goal.
In the fourth, Tech continued its strong defensive effort, hold-ing MSU without a first down in the quarter. Midway through the period, Oestriecher connected on a 50-yard field goal to hand the homestanding Bulldogs a 22-14 lead with 6:48 to go in the contest.
After mustering just a yard on three downs on the ensuing drive, State caught a big break when the resulting punt careened off the back of Tech's unsuspecting Steven Howze. MSU recovered at the LTU 47-yard line, but could not capitalize.
