MSU always plays us tough…
While our overall record against them is very disappointing, I wouldn't say always.
I mean last year, we beat them 51-10.
We also have 28-14, 49-30, 30-17, 38-13, 51-41 on the resume. So basically, 6 double digit wins in the last 11 meetings. When we beat them, it's usually a pretty comfortable win. I think odds favor another double digit win this weekend.
Unfortunately, our overall record is 6-5. We have lost 42-24, 26-22, 35-14, 35-28, and 48-31.
In reality, the VAST MAJORITY of these games have been a double digit wins (11 out of 13) and pretty lopsided. You knew basically after the 1st half who was going to win nearly every game we have had with them. It's almost like the anti-Arkansas. Arkansas almost always plays us tough, but our overall record against them dominates them. Whereas Miss State is nearly even, but when we do win, they don't play us nearly as tough as we win comfortably.
