It’s Senior Day, the offense needs to get its timing back – Mississippi State needs to be steadier at connecting on 70% of its throws again – and it’ll use this to get ready for the Egg Bowl showdown.

The Ole Miss game is Thursday – the idea will be to get this over with fast to get the starters off the field.
