GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: Alabama offense vs. MSU defense. It’ll be great on great Saturday as the top offense in the country, Alabama, squares off against a Bulldog defense that has only given up nine touchdowns all season. State hasn’t faced a quarterback the caliber of Heisman candidate Tua Tagovailoa and Tagovailoa will take on a unit that ranks in the top 25 in 16 different defensive categories.
DRAFT SLANT
–G Deion Calhoun is the Bulldogs’ most experienced offensive lineman with 32 career starts. The 6-foot-3, 320-pounder has helped bolster a line that is averaging an SEC-best 6.04 yards per carry.
ROSTER REPORT
–RB Kylin Hill played last week but is still listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
–WR Osirus Mitchell is Mississippi State’s leading receiver but is day-to-day with an upper body injury.
–LB Sh’mar Kilby-Lane is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
–S Jaquarius Landrews is also day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
