Mississippi State football takes on Memphis Saturday
It’s a busy week one Saturday for college football in the Magnolia State.
Starting at 3 p.m. with Ole Miss hosting Troy, followed by Southern Miss rolling out the welcome mat for Liberty and former Ole Miss Head Coach Hugh Freeze at 6 p.m. Mississippi State giving a big welcome to Memphis at 6:30 p.m.
Bulldogs coming off a three-win improvement last year, having finished with an overall record of 7-6 and an SEC mark of 4-4, culminating with a 27-point loss to Texas Tech in the Liberty Bowl.
They bring in a lot of fresh faces in 2022. Head Coach Mike Leach said, “We lost either two type of players. The type that, one, didn’t belong here. Or two, that were great people, that just wanted an opportunity to play more. And then I’ve been excited about the guys we have, and in some cases, we’ll see how they do. But we’ve been excited about the ones that we took.”
MSU lost to Memphis last year 31-29.
