Skyhawks travel to No. 1 Mississippi State
STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) – Mississippi State’s rise to No. 1 has been fueled by the Heisman-caliber play of quarterback Dak Prescott and dominant victories over top 10 opponents.
The Bulldogs’ performance in recent victories to stay on top have been a little underwhelming.
Coach Dan Mullen didn’t appear overly concerned during Monday’s press conference, saying “whatever opportunity presents itself, winning is the most important thing.”
The Bulldogs (8-0, 5-0 Southeastern Conference, No. 1 CFP) continue to maneuver unscathed through their league schedule, but slogged through victories over Kentucky and Arkansas.
Now Mississippi State has a game on Saturday against UT Martin (5-5), a Football Championship Subdivision program that probably won’t provide much competition.
Much bigger SEC Western Division challenges against Alabama (Nov. 15) and Ole Miss (Nov. 29) loom on the horizon.
