Mississippi State set several offensive records in 2014, including the most points, touchdowns and yards ever accumulated by a Bulldogs team.

While it would be easy to say those are some records that could be on the books for a long time, we have to account for the fact that QB Dak Prescott returns and could conceivably have the Bulldogs offense running even more efficiently in 2015.

Instead, let’s look at five records we know are safe:

5. A lack of passing attempts: Dak Prescott attempted 396 passes in 2014. That’s more than five times as many as the entire Bulldogs roster attempted in 1957. In fact, Mississippi State attempted just 73 passes that year, which is a record for the “modern era” low. Considering Prescott is likely to throw that many passes in the first two or three weekends of the season in 2015, it is hard to see this record falling anytime soon. It would likely take a shift to an option-based offense to bring this record back into play, but even then, at 12 games per regular season, it would take a little more than six pass attempts per game to safely clear this record.

4. Season-long defensive stand: The 1936 Mississippi State defense is unlikely to be challenged on its stinginess. It was in that year that the Bulldogs set a school record for yards allowed per game (101.0). Mississippi State allowed opponents just 1,010 total yards of offense during the 10-game season. With the direction that the game has moved in more recent times, it is hard to imagine that another Bulldogs defense will be able to hold other teams to so few yards per game. Bonus fact on the 1936 defense: it only allowed two touchdowns all season, which is a record for the “modern era” of Mississippi State football.

3. Return this: This record probably belongs to the 1936 Bulldogs defense referenced above as much as it does the actual record holder. Former player A.B. Stubbs once returned 17 punts in a 0-0 tie with TCU during the 1936 season. It is one thing for a team to force 17 punts in the same game, and a whole different things for there to be 17 returnable punts. No touchbacks. No kicks out of bounds. No fair catches. Plus, the coach has to decide to send the same player out to return each kick. There are plenty of things that have to go right for a player to return this many punts in a single contest. I don’t see it happening again anytime soon for the Bulldogs.

2. Dak loves touchdowns: Prescott has been one of the most productive quarterbacks in Mississippi State history, and it already shows in the record book. We took at a look at some of the records Prescott already owns, as well as predicted when he would break others. Touchdown responsibility is an area that Prescott already owns the single-season (41) and career (72) marks in the record book. Prescott has a chance to push that career mark well past 100 with a healthy senior season, which would likely double Don Smith’s 52 at second on the list. With a good final season from Dak, this mark may never be reached.

1. Give him the rock: Can you name the person behind Herschel Walker for the most career rushing attempts in SEC history? Well, since you’re reading a Mississippi State article you may have gathered Anthony Dixon is a good guess. The former Bulldogs running back (2006-09) carried the ball 910 times for 3,994 rushing yards during his time in Starkville, setting a school record for both. He fell short of Walker’s conference record by just 84 attempts, though it is worth noting that Walker reached 994 in just three seasons. Dixon’s school record should withstand the test of time.
