Rogers throws for 3 TDs, Mississippi St. tops Mizzou 51-32

STARKVILLE, Miss. -- , Will Rogers threw for 295 yards and three touchdowns to lead Mississippi State to a 51-32 victory over Missouri on Saturday. After weeks of floundering offensively, Mississippi State (3-7, 3-7 Southeastern Conference) finally got many of their young weapons working in tandem. “I thought we’ve had it in us, but as far as getting everything congruent, that’s been the challenge,” first-year coach Mike Leach said. “And it was a challenge tonight too. We still have kind of a skeleton crew out there.” The Bulldogs racked up 446 yards of total offense in the game, including a season-high 151 yards on the ground. Their previous high was 87 yards in a loss to Arkansas in the second game of the year. “I thought we played better on the offensive line, and I thought our backs did better job reading holes, things like that,” Leach said.
