Here. We. Go.
Today is a big day for Mississippi State football. No. 12 Arizona State will walk into the cowbell-fueled sensory deprivation chamber known as Davis Wade Stadium and nearly 60,000 people hoping the Sun Devils lose.
A Mississippi State win would be avenge last season's a-lot-worse-than-it-looks loss to the Sun Devils. It would also go a long way in validating the offseason changes and give fans (more) hope and belief the Bulldogs are good this season.
Of course, the Sun Devils have already crushed that belief once last year in the Arizona desert. Now they'll look to do it in the best small town in the country.
Below you’ll find all the pertinent information for Saturday’s game between the Bulldogs and Arizona State.
As far as temperatures, wind and humidity are concerned, there’s no change from yesterday’s weather report.
Both AccuWeather and the National Weather Service increased the chances of storms in the Starkville area in the late morning to early afternoon portion of the day. During Saturday night’s game, AccuWeather gives a 20 percent chance of storms and NWS has a 10 percent chance.
Like last week, there is no official Student-Athlete Availability Report released this week. That won’t start until SEC play starts. But unlike last week, we have a few names to keep an eye out for during pregame.
Offensive lineman Luke Work and cornerback Jett Jefferson didn’t play last week because of injuries and offensive lineman Blake Steen left at the end of the first half with an injury.
No definitive statements about their availability have been.
Here’s Mississippi State’s official depth chart for today’s game:
