COLLEGE STATION -- It's not hard to see why Texas A&M is trailing Mississippi State 14-0 at halftime at Kyle Field.
A quick check of the box score shows the stark difference between the two SEC West teams. Not only are the Bulldogs almost doubling A&M's snap count (40 plays to 22), but coach Dan Mullen's team is outgaining Texas A&M 217 to 33. Thirty-three.
Granted, it helps when you have one of the SEC's best quarterbacks at your disposal. Mississippi State junior Nick Fitzgerald has 158 yards of total offense, including a 45-yard run toward the end of the second quarter that set up the Bulldogs' best touchdown.
