After losing in the opener (at home) to South Alabama, Dan Mullen and the Mississippi State Bulldogs needed a spark.

Known as an offensive-minded coach, Mullen reached into his bag of tricks and pulled out a dandy.

Quarterback Nick Fitzgerald slung a short pass to star receiver Fred Ross. Without hesitation, Ross rolled to his left and found a streaking Donald Gray in the back of the end zone for a score.

Fans in Starkville are hoping this play can galvanize the Bulldogs into garnering a victory over SEC foe South Carolina on Saturday night.
