Mississippi State coach unsure about playing beleaguered Simmons
Mississippi State is still facing criticism for accepting 5-star defensive end Jefferey Simmons.
Last spring, Simmons was filmed striking a woman repeatedly during a street fight. The video led to an investigation by the school, and they concluded Simmons would be enrolled on a cautionary basis and serve a one game suspension.
Now that Simmons' suspension is over, head coach Dan Mullen is approaching the topic of playing him carefully:
