It’s almost time for Mississippi State football once again. Can the Bulldogs get a win over Western Michigan this week?

Things haven’t gone according to plan for the Mississippi State football team over the past few weeks. Really, things haven’t been great for about a month now, but things have been rough for the past three weeks as the Bulldogs are on a three-game losing streak.

It’d be really nice if Zach Arnett and the Miss. State Bulldogs could get back on track and take care of things in October.

And it’d be really nice if State got an easy win this weekend.

What happened last week for the Miss. State Bulldogs and Western Michigan Broncos?

For Mississippi State football fans, the Bulldogs got the distinct pleasure of feeling sadness and sorrow and pain and various other awful feelings as Miss. State was run over by the Alabama Crimson Tide. Western Michigan, on the other hand, went out and got a nice win over Ball State.

That must have been fun for them. MSU fans didn’t have fun, but apparently Western Michigan fans did.

Why does this Mississippi State football game matter?

Arnett is likely getting some pressure to start figuring things out. While it’s true that MSU had a fair bit to replace from last season’s team, it’s still worth noting that Arnett was presented a nine-win team from last year to lead into this year. And the Bulldogs aren’t really winning much right now.

Wins are important. Arnett needs to start stringing some wins together to ensure that folks calm down a bit.
