Mississippi State football news and notes: Bulldogs to battle Kentucky

The Mississippi State football team plays its next game in Lexington, Kentucky this weekend

Tomorrow evening, the Mississippi State football team will play against the Kentucky Wildcats. The Bulldogs and the Wildcats are both 3-0 and both are fighting to earn more respect nationally. Historically, neither program was really much to consider, but that is certainly changing a bit.

Kentucky has looked better this season than they really have in much of the past decade. In addition to that, the Mississippi State football team has won at least nine games in three of the last four seasons.

The Bulldogs are aiming to reach that mark and then some more in this season.

The Bulldogs are playing well and, well, Kentucky is as well. MSU has looked sharper than the Wildcats through the first three weeks of the season, but now Mississippi State has to go to Lexington, Kentucky to find a way to make it to 4-0 this year.
