Mississippi State releases official depth chart for Week 11

The Bulldogs continue to get big plays from players not listed as starters and hasn't been more evident than what we saw against Arkansas.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?

That line actually doesn't work for Mississippi State football considering the team's official depth chart didn't change after the Bulldogs' loss to Texas.

But this week's depth chart is the same as last week's which makes for an easy copy-and-paste from week to week. And we all know the Bulldogs don't only rely on their starters.

Several players listed behind another teammate have made big impact this season like Jahron Manning, Jalen Smith, Malick Sylla, Kalvin Dinkins, Xavier Gayten, pretty much the entire offensive line and at the game's most important position, quarterback Kamario Taylor.

ICYMI: Where is Mississippi State's sixth win most likely to come from?

Taylor was named the co-SEC Freshman of the Week on Monday after scoring two touchdowns against Arkansas to start the Bulldogs' comeback.

"I'm incredibly proud of what Kamario got in and went and did," Mississippi State coach Jeff Lebby said. "He plays three drives, two of them ending in a touchdown...If he doesn't play the way he plays, then it's gonna be really hard to find a way to be plus one at the end of the day."
