Watch: Mississippi State blocks FG to hang on for bowl win

Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports

Special teams saved Dan Mullen's decision to go for it on fourth-and-4 late in the game for Mississippi State.

After already blocking a PAT, the Bulldogs' defense did the same on a potential game-winning field goal with five seconds remaining, to win the St. Petersburg Bowl over Miami.

Nelson Adams would go up the middle and block Nick Dowd's 37-yard attempt to hang on for the 17-16 win.
