Mississippi State vs Kentucky Game Preview

Why Mississippi State Will Win

He’s never going to get any Heisman love playing in a Mike Leach offense – no one seems to respect the stats like they should – and in a conference with Bryce Young, Hendon Hooker, Will Levis, and all the other star quarterbacks, but no one’s playing better than Will Rogers.

He’s winging it around 47 times a game, he hasn’t thrown an interception in the last three games and has 22 touchdown passes with just three picks on the season, and he’s making all the right decisions as the O seems to have slowed down for him.

Kentucky’s pass defense is fine, but South Carolina’s Spencer Rattler dinked dunked his way to a win last week hitting over 70% of his throws, and that cane a week after Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss threw for over 200 yards.

There isn’t any sort of a pass rush to bother Rogers, he’ll dink and dunk to his heart’s content, and …

Why Kentucky Will Win

Levis is pretty good, too.

He didn’t go against South Carolina with a foot problem, but he was able to practice enough this week and is ready to give it a go.

If the passing game isn’t clicking, this is when the running game has to finally step up.

The defense has been good enough, and the passing game is should be fine with Levis back, but the ground attack is averaging just 2.7 yards per carry and it hasn’t taken over like its should with the return of Chris Rodriguez a few weeks ago.

Mississippi State’s run defense was okay against a KJ Jefferson-less Arkansas, but it still allowed 241 yards. LSU was able to run without a problem on the Bulldog D that’s allowing 4.5 yards per carry overall, and this week the commitment to grinding it out will be there.

What’s Going To Happen

Neither team will run particularly well, but Mississippi State is doing a decent job of it lately. That’s just to kill time before Rogers can throw another  midrange completion.

The Bulldogs are better at doing what they do than Kentucky is of doing what it does. Levis is still hobbling, the O will give it away two times, and the offensive front won’t be effective enough.

Rogers will have something to do with it, too. The time of possession will matter here. UK needs to own the clock, and it won’t.

The Mississippi State Bulldogs will face the Kentucky Wildcats in the second round of the SEC Conference Tournament on Thursday afternoon.

Mississippi State comes into this game after finishing 14-13 on the season and getting the #9 seed in the tourney. As for Kentucky, they haven’t been the powerhouse they normally are this year and finished the season 9-15 that showed us signs of greatness but also weakness under John Calipari.

As the SEC Tournament continues we’ll have you covered, here is everything you need to stream the college hoops action this afternoon.

Prediction: Kentucky has been up and down all season and we all know what they’re capable of in March but this just feels different. The team is young and playing a solid Miss State team, I’ll take the points with State.

Why Mississippi State Will Win

The passing game still works.

It might not have thrown for 623 yards like it did against LSU, but it still moved the ball against Arkansas. There weren’t as many deep plays, and KJ Costello threw three picks, but the offense can still crank up the production against a Kentucky team that’s not built for shootouts, even if it did keep up in a 42-41 loss to Ole Miss last week.

The Wildcats need to control the clock for its style and system to work, but so far, the Mike Leach Bulldogs have been fantastic at owning the tempo, holding the ball for well over 33 minutes per game.

Why Kentucky Will Win

The Kentucky running game destroyed Ole Miss last week.

The passing game didn’t have to do much with the ground attack cranking out big run after big run, putting up 408 yards in the wild firefight. Mississippi State’s run defense has been fantastic so far, but LSU and Arkansas didn’t commit to the ground game like UK will.

For the Wildcats, it’s all about the turnover margin.

It’s been un-UKlike to not have a takeaway in two games – the Cats are -4 in turnover margin – but that should change against a Bulldog team that likes to give the ball away with four turnovers in each of the first two games.

CFN Experts Picks: College Football

What’s Going To Happen

Kentucky is desperate.

It needs to muck it up, control the game in all ways, and own the turnover margin. However, the pass defense won’t be able to keep Costello and company in check.

He’ll throw two picks, but Auburn’s Bo Nix and Ole Miss’ Matt Corral came up with every big throw needed. UK’s pass defense has allowed quarterbacks to hit 71% of their passes for 553 yards and seven touchdowns.

It’s not hyperbole to think that Costello can get all that by himself if the O works.
