• South Carolina is also raising prices for football season tickets.  Boom times!
• Based on these three stories, I’d say Mississippi State’s offense is going to look different under Joe Moorhead than it did under Dan Mullen.  Wonder how that works for Nick Fitzgerald.
• Apparently Tennessee beat out Georgia for a graduate transfer running back from Michigan State.
