Mississippi State Bulldogs One of Nation's Best in One Possession Game
When folks ask how Dan Mullen has turned around Mississippi State football, many will point to the improved offense of the Bulldogs. However, more fitting might be to give Mullen credit for how he handles close games, even though many fans have complained about this. A Reddit user compiled stats on the most successful one-possession teams over the last five years. It turns out Mississippi State has the seventh best record in such games over the past five seasons. The only SEC team that has a better record in such contests? Auburn. The Tigers have three such wins in the last five seasons.
