The Mississippi State (4-3, 0-3 SEC) is set to welcome No. 18 Texas (5-2, 2-1) to Davis Wade Stadium on Saturday for what could be a make-or-break clash in conference play.
Texas may have escaped with a 16-13 overtime win over Kentucky last week, but it was anything but a convincing performance. Despite the postgame optimism from All-American safety Michael Taaffe, the Longhorns’ offense sputtered and stumbled its way to just 179 total yards — their lowest output in nearly a decade. For context, that’s fewer yards than they managed in their 36-3 drubbing at the hands of Notre Dame back in 2015.
To make matters worse, Kentucky controlled the ball for nearly twice as long, leaving Texas’ defense gasping for air. That could spell trouble this week, as the Longhorns head into Starkville to face a Mississippi State team that loves to chew up the clock and grind down opponents. In short, if Texas doesn’t find its rhythm early, the Bulldogs might just turn this into a good old-fashioned SEC slugfest.
