There's an old adage in football, you must win the battle in the trenches in order to win the game.Â

The Mississippi State Bulldogs took their win streak on the road to Tuscaloosa feeling they were inching closer to the top of the nation's top conference.
Regardless of Saturday's 38-7 loss to the Crimson Tide, there are still some impressive notesthat will make MSU fans proud.Â
The Bulldogs’ 7-1 start is the best start through eight games since 1999 (8-0).
