Overall Breakdown: Memphis had a rough 2010 to say the least. They were outscored by 25.4 points on average and didn’t even average 300 yards per game last season. In 2010, Memphis traveled to Starkville and played Mississippi State losing 49-7 in a game that could have been worse than the final score was. Mississippi State has a lot of good momentum and good players returning and look to add to a team that outscored opponents by an average of 9.2 points per game in 2010. They also won their bowl game dominating Michigan with a 52-14 victory that cemented that the Bulldogs were here to stay as a good team in the SEC. Expect this game to get ugly and the Bulldogs to name their score versus the Tigers.
