Mississippi State vs Tennessee State Game Preview
Why Tennessee State Will Win
Head coach Eddie Georgi’s team has a secondary.
It has massive problems with penalties, it doesn’t put enough points on the board, and the defense doesn’t come up with enough big plays, but the secondary allows just 179 yards per game and keeps offenses to just 50% completion rate.

Mississippi State should be able to keep moving the chains – the Tennessee State defense is strong, but it’s not great on third downs – and it’s not going to take too many points to get this done.

What’s Going To Happen
A fast start is everything.
Mississippi State struggled to get going against Auburn and it had to scramble to get back into it. This week, the faster it can put this away, the faster it can start preparing for Ole Miss on Thursday.
Tennessee State, though, will be pesky enough to keep this from getting out of hand. Mississippi State isn’t going to be in any danger, but it won’t be as smooth as it might like.
