Tulu Griffin breaks Mississippi State single-game record midway through 3rd quarter

Tulu Griffin didn’t need 60 minutes. He didn’t even need 40 minutes to break the Mississippi State single-game record for the most receiving yards in a game.
Griffin is sitting at 6 receptions for 245 yards and counting with 3 minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter of the Bulldogs’ Week 4 matchup against South Carolina, including 1 touchdown reception. MSU QB Will Rogers and Griffin have done a large part of the legwork in keeping this one close.
Griffin’s 245 yards and counting surpasses Jameon Lewis’ mark of 220 set in 2013.
School Record for @TuluuuuuG!

Griffin’s highlight thus far came at the start of the 2nd quarter. This TD connection really gave the Bulldogs life after a rough start paired with a fantastic start from South Carolina QB Spencer Rattler.

There’s a strong chance Griffin eclipses 300 receiving yards tonight. The Bulldogs may need him to if they’re to win this one.
