Mississippi State Football Probably Won’t Host It These Weeks

The Mississippi State Bulldogs have a few out of conference games lined up that are less than impressive. Because of that nature, these games simply won’t attract much attention outside of Mississippi or the visiting fanbase.

These games feature less interesting matchups in which Mississippi State brings in an inferior opponent for an almost guaranteed win. One of these games is against an opponent from the FCS, one against a team that went 5-7 in 2017, and then a team that went 7-6 last season.

None of these games appear all that interesting if you aren’t already invested in one of the teams playing.

What games fall in this category?

  • September 1st, Mississippi State vs Stephen F. Austin State University
  • September 15th, Mississippi State vs Louisiana Lafayette
  • November 3rd, Mississippi State vs Louisiana Tech
