The Mississippi State football team will hit the road for the first of six road games in 2016 during Week 3 of the season. And the first road game will be quite the challenge for the Bulldogs because they have to travel to Baton Rouge to take on the Tigers in a game that will be played mostly at night.
This game will likely provide the Bulldogs defense their most difficult challenge from an individual player standpoint. The defensive coaches for the Mississippi State football team have to find a way to slow down Leonard Fournette.
Fournette was the the run away favorite for the Heisman Trophy until the Tigers lost to Alabama.
