What would be a successful start to the Jeff Lebby era during the first season heading the Bulldogs?
STARKVILLE, Miss.— With spring football in the rearview mirror, the Mississippi State roster is likely locked in for fall practice after the addition of cornerback Montre Miller. The Bulldogs are just over three months away from taking the field under first-year head coach Jeff Lebby.
There was a lot of buzz then because State was returning three eventual first-round picks on defense The thought was that if Moorhead could have a successful offense with veteran quarterback Nick Fitzgerald and the defense performed to expectations, it could be a special season. The former Washington State and Texas Tech head coach was notorious for his Air Raid offense, and Mississippi State fans hoped the scheme would continue to be successful in the SEC. It faced LSU to open the 2020 season in a rare Week 1 league matchup, and the Bulldogs put on a show.
However, the legendary head coach passed away suddenly. While college football mourned "The Pirate," MSU would be forced to hire a new head coach while searching for a new athletic director. Fast-forward to the present. Lebby has completely revamped his roster with 20 transfer-portal signees, and the spring showed signs of Mississippi State's exciting and productive offense. Optimism started to sprout once again in Starkville.
