Mississippi State football takes the field in Starkville on Saturday with a massive opportunity awaiting them. The Maroon and White-wearing Bulldogs welcome the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs to Davis Wade Stadium, hoping to pull off a massive upset in front of their home crowd and make a major statement about the direction of Jeff Lebby's program.
Mississippi State picked up some positive momentum last week in Fayetteville. The Bulldogs mounted a fourth-quarter comeback and defeated Arkansas 38-35 to earn their first SEC win in over two years, snapping a 16-game conference losing streak. They are now 5-4 on the season and 1-4 in the SEC, just one win away from bowl-eligibility.
