As the old saying goes, a win is a win, and a win is what Mississippi State needed on Saturday. The Bulldogs struggled all day against Western Michigan defensively, but put enough points up to walk away with a 41-28 victory to improve to 3-3 on the season.

State’s defensive struggles reached a new low, as third string Broncos quarterback Hayden Wolfe had the same kind of the day the SEC quarterbacks have been enjoying. He finished the day 27-35 for 262 yards and 3 touchdowns, constantly finding open targets in the Bulldog secondary. Mississippi State’s offense was able to get out to a strong start, a 17-0 lead that proved vital as the defense was unable to keep the momentum going.
