Challenges for Mississippi State
Will Levis may play on Saturday but Kentucky is like a wounded cat without him. Their offense just isn’t as effective with Levis on the sidelines. However, Kentucky still has a hard-hitting, aggressive defense. The State offensive line and other blockers have to be ready to protect Will Rogers or it could be a painful, unfruitful outing for him.
Saturday‘s game kicks off at 6:30 PM CT (7:30 PM ET). Watch this SEC football game on the SEC Network.
