Mississippi State Mascot 'Bully' Avoids Injury After Taking Hit on Sideline

Adam WellsSep 28, 2019

Things got so bad for the Mississippi State Bulldogs during Saturday's game against the Auburn Tigers that even their mascot couldn't avoid taking a hit.

Bully, Mississippi State's English bulldog mascot, is OK after taking an accidental hit from Auburn running back JaTarvious Whitlow on the sidelines.

The play occurred in the first quarter when Whitlow was tripped up by Mississippi State safety C.J. Morgan after scoring a touchdown. Whitlow's momentum carried him well out of bounds, just in front of a fence where Bully was standing.

Bully took a helmet right to his stomach but appeared to stand right back up. He was unable to help the Bulldogs on the field, unfortunately, as Auburn rolled to a 56-23 win.
