Comments

Mississippi State came out roaring in 2020 opener with the big upset win over LSU. Since then they’ve played worse than any other SEC team not named Vanderbilt. I have no reason to believe they can beat A&M but I didn’t think they’d beat LSU either. State’s passing game is kind of in disarray right now. I think once film got out, and this happened to other teams as well, folks learned how to stop the Leach passing attack. A&M wins by over 10.
