STARKVILLE, Miss. – Mississippi State football didn’t have many changes to its depth chart for this week’s game at No. 7 Tennessee.
That’s not very surprising, but a look at both team’s depth charts reveals a potetional problem for Mississippi State, one that it is familiar with.
The Bulldogs’ defensive line is significantly smaller than the starting offensive line for Tennessee. The smallest Volunteer lineman weighs 310 lbs. Mississippi State has just two defensive line who tip the scales past 300 lbs. and they are Sulaiman Kpaka (300 lbs.) and Kai McClendon (305 lbs.).
That size discrepancy has already caused problems for the Bulldogs this season and, most likely, that trend is going to continue this Saturday night.
