A pass interference call on Will Redmond gave the Tigers a first down at the Bulldogs' 2. But, four running plays netted no yards. Williams had no gain on first down.

LES MILES' COMMENTS

"We kind of misfired on offense at times. Probably a half dozen times on defense, we were in poor position. There were a couple of plays that Mississippi State makes on a scramble throw that the coverage we had called should have covered it. They got unbelievable play from their quarterback. We are certainly going to look and review the film for some things that we need to change. We need to make calls better and communication needs to happen more cleanly."
