GameQuest: The gameplan for Tennessee at Mississippi State

Tennessee and Mississippi State are set for a Saturday showdown in Starkville that should come with some points and an exciting brand of football for two teams who are playing well.

The Vols are 3-1 and looking for their first win in Southeastern Conference play in what will be their first true road game of the season. The Bulldogs are a perfect 4-0 on the young campaign and will be opening conference play with the Vols.   

The contest will also serve as a reunion for Josh Heupel and Jeff Lebby as the latter spent two seasons with the former at UCF from 2018-2019 as Heupel’s quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator.

Grant Ramey and Eric Cain preview the matchup by listing keys to the game and handing off some predictions. Former Tennessee quarterback Jarrett Guarantano joins the show to discuss the challenges of playing on the road in the Southeastern Conference.

Tennessee owns the all-time series record over Mississippi State 30-16-1 with a 13-9 record on the road. The Vols handled the Bulldogs last year at Neyland Stadium 33-14 and are 8-2 over the last 10 matchups. Prior o the 2024 meeting, Tennessee won the matchup in 2019 20-10 before dropping a 41-31 decision the last time the game was played in Starkville back in 2012. 

The show is resented by the great people over at Spivey, King & Spivey, LLP. If you got a problem, let them find a solution for you.
