Boom used the Bye Week to bounce back.  Eddie Gran's eyes lit up when Boom's name was mentioned. "He's had three great days last week and I can't wait to watch him.  I'm excited about it.  He's excited to get back on the field and go," Gran said. Boom is still one of the best backs in the conference, averaging 7.1 yards per carry, but it won't be easy against the Mississippi State defense that only allows 136 yards rushing per game. More from practice is on the way.
