When the Mississippi State football team faces the Alabama Crimson Tide, the MSU Bulldogs will need to answer these questions.

Zach Arnett and his Mississippi State Bulldogs are getting set to face Alabama. The Bulldogs are about to face the toughest test they’ll get up to this point in the season (and arguably the hardest test they’ll have all season). Oh, and by the way, the Bulldogs are reeling after back-to-back SEC losses.

This is hardly the sort of matchup with Alabama that any team could hope for (especially if you happen to believe in the notion of momentum).

Facing Alabama is rarely any fun for anyone, but the Bulldogs have had especially hard luck finding success against the Crimson Tide over the past few years. It’s almost like Nick Saban is still mad that he lost in 2007.

But for whatever reason, this game is almost certainly an uphill battle each and every time that it’s played.

And that’ll be the case once more this year.

Unfortunately, Mississippi State is on the verge of a three game losing streak. The Bulldogs are struggling after losses to the LSU Tigers and South Carolina Gamecocks.

Luckily for the Bulldogs, MSU gets to face an Alabama Crimson Tide team that has been inconsistent on offense. Unfortunately for MSU, the Bulldogs have been up and down on offense as well. And also on defense.

That doesn’t bode well for MSU football fans.
