re: Mullen thoughts on the MSU season

If State can consistantly win 8 or 9 games with an occasional 10 win season and run at the west I think you have to be content with that

I think that will be more realistic when he gets the monkey off his back vs. SEC West teams other than Ole Miss. He needs a win against Alabama, LSU, Auburn or Arkansas. He's been very close a few times against these, but hasn't quite broken through. When he does, I think it will help a lot. In the meantime, though, it's important that he beat Texas A&M at least once in the first two tries. He can't let a 5th SEC West team get the upper hand on him.
