What you need to know about Mississippi State
The Bulldogs looked like a surprise contender when they knocked off LSU two weeks ago in Mike Leach's debut. Quarterback K.J. Costello threw for over 600 yards and five touchdowns against the defending champs. But they got a dose of reality last week when Arkansas upset them, recording its first SEC win since 2017 in the process. Costello took a big step back, throwing just one touchdown and three interceptions.
MSU running back Kylin Hill was banged up during the loss, but Leach told reporters this week he could return to the lineup this week. Hill ran for 1,350 yards in 2019 and was a huge part of the passing attack against LSU in this year's opener, making eight catches for 158 yards and a score.
