Soon after his bulldog crumpled and spit out Vanderbilt, Mississippi State University coach Mike Rich turned his attention to a more delicious option: Halloween candy. Leach, the equivalent of a national treasure and content machine, blew up social media late on Saturday afternoon, when he babbled his favorite treats like a five-star recruit, and then cut down on Halloween like he wanted to be a walker Favorite.

"I hate candy corn. I mean, I totally hate candy corn," Leach told Alyssa Lang of the SEC Network.
