Bulldogs coach Dan Mullen, who is in charge of the offense, shrugged off what may have been considered a bad performance from the Mississippi State quarterbacks. He said he saw some “good and bad,” and would have to evaluate the tape before he made any further judgment.
Both Mullen and defensive coordinator Peter Sirmon spoke following the scrimmage:

I asked Dan Mullen multi times in multiple ways about Jeffery Simmons. He answered it all: We'll evaluate it.
