Alabama vs Mississippi State college football game TV time, preview, betting odds

Wilson’s talent was obvious last season when he led the Bulldogs with 47 catches for 680 yards. And he has done just that.

Backup Kenyan Drake did have a strong game against LSU with 68 yards.

The Aggies also rank seventh in the SEC in scoring offense at 29.7 points per game.

Despite those impediments, Prescott has been more efficient because he has made better decisions. The Razorbacks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Louisiana State and 7-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings overall. “We just have to try to bounce back this week with a good showing”. His percentage of plays taking contact is down 24 percent from 2014, in large part because he is running the ball less frequently. The Bulldogs are tied for 22 with an average of 2.78 sacks per game. Derrick Henry ran for 210 yards and three TDs while Leornard Fournette was limited to just 31 yards on 19 carries.

Sure, others were mentioned but it seemed to be merely in passing. His completion percentage is up five points from last season (62 to 67), and there’s been an even bigger gain in his adjusted completion percentage. “I think we came out and played a little tight in that first quarter really trying to be nearly too ideal”. But does his improvement give Mississippi State a chance to upset the Crimson Tide this time around?

The Bama defense is holding opponents to an FBS-low 15.4 Total QBR, which means that opposing quarterbacks have struggled more against the Tide than any other defense in college football this season. Angry about the way they let themselves be pushed around at Arkansas past year. And that should be encouraging to Mississippi State, because there are a few similarities between the Bulldogs’ offense and that of their in-state rival.

The student section cheers on the Ole Miss Rebels at a recent football game.

The Buzz: Elliott continues to be rock-steady for the Buckeyes this season, topping the 100-yard mark for the 14th straight game after rushing for 114 yards and a touchdown in Ohio State’s 28-14 win over Minnesota. After what looked like a promising season, it has fallen apart after multiple blowout losses including a 27-3 loss to Georgia last weekend. Obviously, that’s something Prescott is also capable of contributing. He didn’t want any more overtimes. Mississippi State’s Prescott has thrown just one interception all season…. And the longest of those has been 18 yards.

But they’ve never had a player like Dak Prescott.

In fact, Miles played straight into Alabama’s strength – its defensive Front 7. Statistically, Prescott is a more efficient passer than Kelly, and like his in-state counterpart, he has talented teammates to target.

Mississippi State’s senior quarterback has joined Tim Tebow and Johnny Manziel as the only players in SEC history to throw 50 touchdown passes and run for 30 touchdowns in a career.

– Wide receiver Drew Morgan leads the SEC with nine touchdown receptions. His is the Bulldogs leading rusher with 418 yards – about 200 more than any Bulldog running back. Brandon Allen had a huge game through the air for the Razorbacks, completing 33 of 45 passes for 442 yards and six TDs. Stanford will not likely be higher than #4 by the time the two teams play. He didn’t hesitate when asked what Robinson would do if he actually got the ball.

Prescott has a 21-8 record as a starter and played a critical role in wins over every team in the division at least once in his career.

Problem was, for LSU previous year, the Tigers had as much trouble moving on from a gut-punch loss to Alabama as everyone else did the week of the Arkansas game.
