With the season winding down, Mississippi State is in the middle of its last bye week before two ranked ball games.

When the bye week concludes, the Bulldogs will be preparing to take on the No. 23 Missouri Tigers. That game time was released by the SEC on Monday afternoon with the Bulldogs and Tigers set to compete at 3:15 p.m. on SEC Network. It is the fifth time in 11 games that the Bulldogs have earned that time slot.  

Jeff Lebby’s squad sits at just 2-8 at this point of the season and is in danger of having the worst record since 2003. Without a win in the last two games, the Bulldogs will also have the first winless SEC slate since 2002.

Missouri (7-2, 3-2 SEC) is having another solid season under head coach Eli Drinkwitz and survived a scare from the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday night with a wild finish. A late touchdown pass followed by a turnover returned for a touchdown flipped what was headed to be a rough loss for the Tigers.

Starting quarterback Brady Cook has been dealing with injuries in recent weeks and his status for the ball game next week is undetermined. Former Arizona State and Notre Dame QB Drew Pyne has filled in with Cook out and has thrown for  391 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions this season.

The Bulldogs will enter the game having lost 10-straight SEC ball games dating back to last year. State has had a brutal conference slate that has included three top 10 ball games on the road and a fourth possible with the Black Friday Egg Bowl matchup against Ole Miss in three weeks.
