The success Mississippi State enjoyed defensively can be attributed to Dominic Douglas and Jessie Bowman, who accounted for eight stops each. Bowman’s total was a career high, and he was also credited with 3.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage. As for the score, the five combined points were the fewest ever in this series, which dates back to 1905. It was also the first time MSU has been involved in a game with the final outcome of 3-2. It was the fewest points the Bulldogs have yielded since defeating Jacksonville State 35-3 on Oct. 14, 2006. 2 0 0 8
