Mississippi State: Oct. 14 vs. BYU

Sandwiched right in the middle of the SEC football season, the Mississippi State Bulldogs will play the BYU Cougars. BYU went 9-4 in 2016, and one of those wins came in double overtime over the Bulldogs.

The game was a showdown of dual-threat quarterbacks. Nick Fitzgerald threw one touchdown and ran for two. While Taysom Hill for the Cougars threw three touchdowns while also running for another. Luckily for the Bulldogs, Hill won’t be there in 2017.
