Alabama vs Mississippi State Preview
The Tide are coming off their first loss of the season, a 41-38 defeat at the hands of the Texas A&M Aggies. Alabama out-gained the Aggies, 522-379 yards, but a last second field goal sunk the Crimson Tide as time expired.
Quarterback Bryce Young completed 28 of 48 passes for 369 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in the loss, running back Brian Robinson Jr. added 24 carries for 147 yards, while wide receiver Jamison Williams had 10 catches for 146 yards and two touchdowns.
The loss was a setback, but now, moving forward, the Crimson Tide can’t afford to have another one. It won’t come easy this week against Mississippi State.
“Playing at Mississippi State, every game we’ve ever had over there has been really, really difficult,” Alabama head coach Nick Saban said this week, via Sports Illustrated. “Their team is playing really well so this is going to be a real challenge for us and we’re going to have to bring our A-game, play our best against a lot of really good players on both sides of the ball. It’s always a difficult place to play with the cowbells and all that but we’ve been in two, couple difficult circumstances so far this year so hopefully we can continue to improve how we manage that.”
As for the Bulldogs, they’re coming off their bye week after upsetting the same Texas A&M team on October 2. Mississippi State quarterback Will Rogers completed 46 of 59 passes for 408 yards and three touchdowns in an incredible performance, and wideout Makai Polk added two touchdowns and 126 yards on 13 catches in the win.
Mississippi State is scoring 27.8 points a game on offense, and it’s allowing 25.0 points a game on defense. They’ll be facing the toughest challenge of their season so far going up against an Alabama team that is scoring 44.3 points a game on offense while allowing 22 points a game to opponents on defense.
“If we relax against The University of Alabama, then we are the stupidest team in college football. If we relax under those circumstances, we may have some very good qualities, we may have some very positive things, but you really have to be a dumb team to relax if you are playing Alabama or anybody like them,” Mississippi State head coach Mike Leach said about facing the Crimson Tide.
This one has all the makings of a knock down, drag out fight. We’ll see who comes out on top — but it won’t be easy for Mississippi State. Alabama hasn’t lost consecutive games since 2013.
