It’s time to talk nice to the SEC as Mississippi State’s run boosts conference’s strength

As Mississippi State’s impressive run continues to bolster the Southeastern Conference’s standing as an elite college football conference, it is becoming increasingly evident that it is time to start speaking positively of the SEC.

The Bulldogs have been a revelation in their second season under head coach Joe Moorhead, having already earned their fourth consecutive win over a top-25 opponent – the first time they have accomplished such a feat since 1939. In doing so, they have emphatically demonstrated the strength and depth of the SEC, a conference that is widely regarded as one of the most competitive in the nation.

The SEC has long been a bastion of excellence in college football, boasting a rich history of producing some of the most successful programs in the sport. This year, Mississippi State has added its name to the list of conference powers, with its impressive on-field performance speaking for itself.

The Bulldogs have been led by a dynamic offense, which has been spearheaded by quarterback Nick Fitzgerald and running back Kylin Hill. The duo have combined for over 2,400 yards of total offense and 21 touchdowns, while Hill’s 12 rushing touchdowns are the most in the SEC.

The team’s defense has also been formidable, ranking second in the conference in total defense and first in passing defense. Mississippi State has allowed just 13.9 points per game, the lowest mark in the conference, and has allowed just one touchdown in its last two games, both wins over ranked opponents.

The success of Mississippi State is a testament to the strength of the SEC, which is a collection of some of the best teams in the nation. While the conference has been maligned in the past for its lack of postseason success, the Bulldogs’ performance this year is a reminder of the talent and depth of the conference.

It is time to start speaking positively of the SEC. Mississippi State’s impressive run serves as proof that the conference is still one of the best in the country, and its teams should be respected as such.
