The No. 14 Mississippi State football team has played through a rather sloppy first half against the Kentucky Wildcats

Well, that first half could have gone better. There’s plenty of reasons to hate how the first half went for the No. 14 Mississippi State football team. The Bulldogs are currently in the midst of a 7-7 tie with the Kentucky Wildcats.

And this game has been defined by absolutely sloppy play.

Right now, the two teams combined don’t even have 300 total yards of offense. MSU has seven penalties and 49 penalty yards. The Bulldogs have played anything but disciplined football against Kentucky.

And that’s why things are tied up.

If you’re a Mississippi State football fan, you’re likely some mixture of disappointed, frustrated, and upset that the Bulldogs are tied up at halftime after a couple of quarters of awful execution on both sides of the ball. If you’re a Kentucky football fan, then you’re likely ecstatic that your favorite team is tied up with the 14th ranked team in the country.

There’s still another half to play, but we have a few thoughts on the first half between Mississippi State and Kentucky.
