RELENTLESS: Paul Finebaum’s BOLD Pick for Mississippi State Bulldogs | Will Jeff Lebby DEFY Odds?

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 06:00:00 GMT

The podcast digs into Finebaum’s optimistic outlook versus the daunting road trips (Minnesota, South Carolina, LSU, Texas, Ole Miss) and examines why even a 7-win season would signal a breakthrough for the Bulldogs’ program.

Key topics include the importance of quarterback Kamario Taylor’s development, offensive line improvement, and the rising impact of Anthony Evans, Kelley Jones, and Ethan Pulliam, all earning preseason accolades. The discussion questions whether Mississippi State fans should expect a leap in year three under Lebby and breaks down why the Bulldogs’ path is far from “manageable.” Will improved talent and focus translate to wins, or does the SEC gauntlet stand in the way?

WARNING: Mississippi State Has 3 HUGE Questions to Answer Before 2026

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 06:00:00 GMT

The pressure is on Phil Lodeholdt to mold this group into a cohesive unit under Jeff Lebby’s offense, where execution could redefine the Bulldogs’ offensive ceiling.

The conversation focused on the Bulldogs’ dire need for improvement up front and on defense, challenging players such as Will Whitson, Amaree Williams, and Dealyn Evans to step up against SEC competition. Can Zach Arnett’s system ignite the defensive line and end the streak of opponents having career-best rushing performances in Starkville? A key theme that emerged was Mississippi State’s inability to close out winnable games last year—will enhanced experience and a tougher mentality finally translate close losses to signature wins this fall?
