Challenges for Mississippi State
After a strong start and then a 2-game loss streak against the East’s two better teams, the Bulldogs have now won three of their last four games. State has the wins already to be in contention for a New Year’s bowl but their schedule is just loaded. They’ve struggled against teams with strong defenses and Alabama’s defense is one of the best. Beating Bama in 2018 in Tuscaloosa is a tall order for any team.
Challenges for Alabama
Alabama beats the No. 3 team in the nation on the road, 29-0. Will any team be a challenge for the Crimson Tide? Bama just needs to keep doing what they do. They are pretty good at doing it.
Saturday’s game kicks off at 2:30 pm CT and can be seen on CBS.
