Mississippi State has five practice days in the preseason books. Now it's time for full-contact work beginning Wednesday. Interviews and observations thus far show energy and even excitement on the practice field for Jeff Lebby's first team. The real test begins with contact days, scrimmaging, and of course the start of the fall school semester next week. A post-practice talk with young cornerback Kelley Jones is a good sample of how the Bulldogs are thinking thus far.
