Arizona State Preps for Mississippi State With 'Chaos' Drills as Dillingham’s Travel Remarks Draw Ire

An overhauled, up‑tempo Mississippi State is dictating ASU’s practice plan.

Overview

  • Kenny Dillingham said practices will feature two huddles and an emphasis on “chaos” to match Jeff Lebby’s fast pace.
  • He characterized Mississippi State as largely rebuilt, citing 30-plus transfers and eight junior college additions that complicate scouting.
  • Mississippi State coach Jeff Lebby emailed fans to “bring the madness” for Saturday night under new lights at Davis Wade Stadium.
  • Dillingham’s comments about small‑town hotels and past food issues drew online backlash, including an ASU alum accusing him of lying.
  • ASU heads to Starkville after a 38-19 win over Northern Arizona with most players available, and WR Jordyn Tyson earned a Shrine Bowl weekly award.
