Arizona State is preparing for a hard road game against Mississippi State in Week 2, and coach Kenny Dillingham is doing something different to prepare his players, using loud cowbells at practice.Mississippi State is known for its fans ringing cowbells nonstop during games. It’s loud, distracting and a big part of the home-field advantage at Davis Wade Stadium. To help his players get used to the noise, Dillingham had cowbell sounds playing through speakers during Tuesday’s practice. The support staff was also part of it, ringing real cowbells while players went through drills and stretches.

Legend has it that a cow wandered onto the field during a game the Bulldogs won, and fans have been bringing cowbells for good luck ever since.How did Kenny Dillingham’s team perform in Week 1?Kenny Dillingham's Arizona State won its Week 1 game against Northern Arizona.
