Mississippi State (2-0) vs Memphis (2-0) Game Preview
Why Mississippi State Will Win
It hasn’t been anything pretty, but Mississippi State is 2-0.
Will Rogers is growing into the role of the Mike Leach quarterback, the offense isn’t screwing up like it did throughout last year, and more than anything else, the defense is showing up large.
