Gators will have to overcome history to leave Starkville with a win

Dan Mullen and the Florida Gators travel to Starkville, MS on Saturday to play his former team, Mississippi State. While Florida and Mississippi State don’t have a storied history, (they haven’t played since 2010), it is hard to overlook one factor about this upcoming game: Florida doesn’t play well in Starkville.

This will be only the sixth appearance by the Gators in Starkville since 1986.

Of those five previous appearances since 1986, Mississippi State has beaten Florida in four of them.

Florida lost a hard fought 16-10 game to the Bulldogs back in 1986.
