Mississippi State will have white out against Tennessee

Tennessee won’t be wearing its traditional white road uniform Saturday at Mississippi State. Instead, the Bulldogs are going with a white out against the Vols.

Mississippi State announced in August that it will wear its all-white core road uniform for the Tennessee game, paired with a white helmet with the maroon interlocking MSU logo and a maroon facemask and helmet stripe. 

State is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the “Snow Bowl,” paying homage to the 2000 Bulldogs, who beat Texas A&M 43-41 in the Independence Bowl, while wearing all white in a snowstorm in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Former Mississippi State coach Jackie Sherrill and members of the 2000 Mississippi State team will be back in Starkville and recognized during the game. State will also do a white out in the crowd against the Vols. 

Vols haven’t played at Mississippi State since 2012

Tennessee is 30-16-1 all time against Mississippi State, dating back to 1907. The Vols have won eight of the last nine, going back to 1995, but have played just three times since 2012.

The Vols haven’t played at Mississippi State since the 41-31 loss to the Bulldogs in October 2012 and haven’t won in Starkville since the 33-21 win in October 2007.

Mississippi State so far this season has a 34-17 win at Southern Miss, a home win over then-No. 12 Arizona State, 24-20, and home wins over Alcorn State, 63-0, and Northern Illinois, 38-10.

State has already doubled its win total from last season, when the Bulldogs finished 2-10, including a 33-14 loss at Tennessee, in the first season under Jeff Lebby. 

Lebby was Josh Heupel’s quarterbacks coach at UCF in 2018 and offensive coordinator in 2019, before going to Ole Miss and Oklahoma.
