Did You Notice?

  • Mississippi State punter Ethan Pulliam has been selected to The Sporting News Midseason All-America Team. In six games, Pulliam has punted 19 times for 885 yards, averaging 46.6 yards per punt. Of his 19 punts, eight have been over 50 yards and his longest was 67 yards.
  • Mississippi State’s soccer team is back home after two weeks of road trips Thursday night when No. 21 Vanderbilt travels to Starkville. The match is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. and will air on SECN+. The Bulldogs bring a 19-match regular-season, home unbeaten streak into the game after winning their sixth consecutive Magnolia Cup against Ole Miss in their last action at the MSU Soccer Field. Large crowds have been a theme of the season, with three all-time top-10 attendance marks already this year, and a fourth that cracked the top 10 before being pushed out by the Ole Miss crowd.
