Louisiana Tech running back Kenneth Dixon is expected to play on Saturday against Mississippi State.
Dixon missed last week’s game against Texas-San Antonio, a 34-31 win for the Bulldogs, with a leg injury.
According to Sean Isabella of The News-Star:
Asked Skip Holtz how close to 100% Kenneth Dixon would be for Miss. St “As close as he was Saturday, I would expect that he’ll be full go”

The 5-foot-10, 213-pound senior running back has been named to the Doak Walker and Maxwell Award lists, and was a preseason All-Conference USA selection. In his career, he has rushed for 3,993 yards and 59 touchdowns.
