Challenges for Mississippi State

Stopping Jordan Ta’amu is priority No. 1. Vandy did a good job on him last week inside the 20s causing five possible Ole Miss touchdowns to instead become field goals.

Challenges for Ole Miss

The Rebs are nearing the end of a 2-year bowl ban. It would be nice to end the season with a win over State and to at least reach the number of wins required for a bowl. With the game being played in Oxford the Rebels have a shot at finishing the season in a positive manner.

Thursday’s game kicks off at 6:30 pm CT and can be seen on ESPN.
