From the NE Mississippi Journal:
MSU knew coming in that this rarely seen brand of offense - Bulldogs coach Sylvester Croom called it a "wingbone" because of its wishbone and wing-T elements - would be tough to defend. They said they felt prepared, but it's one thing to prepare for it and another to actually stop it.
"We ran the option offense in high school, and you've got to read your keys every play," said free safety Derek Pegues. "If one man slips up, you've seen it out there, it can be a touchdown any time."
Pegues said too many missed assignments hurt, but strong downfield blocking was a big factor, too.
In the end, Shaw and the rest of them were too much for MSU to handle.
